            Bug ID: 29460
           Summary: strptime() doesn't support strftime() %P format
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: time
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: yann at droneaud dot fr
  Target Milestone: ---

Created attachment 14266
  --> https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D14266&action=3Ded=
it
strftime(), strptime() %P format test

Despite being documented as supported alias to %p, %P is not known to
strptime()

https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Low_002dLevel-Time-Strin=
g-Parsing.html

> %p
> %P
>=20
>     The locale-dependent equivalent to =E2=80=98AM=E2=80=99 or =E2=80=98P=
M=E2=80=99.
>=20
>     This format is not useful unless %I or %l is also used. Another compl=
ication is that the locale might not define these values at all and therefo=
re the conversion fails.
>=20
>     %P is a GNU extension following a GNU extension to strftime.

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/strptime.3.html

>     Similarly, because of GNU extensions to strftime(3), %k is
>     accepted as a synonym for %H, and %l should be accepted as a
>     synonym for %I, and %P is accepted as a synonym for %p.

The attached test case produced the following output:

    strftime() produced "am"
    strptime() failed to parse "am"
    strftime() produced "pm"
    strptime() failed to parse "pm"


Fixes for https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D4772 is incompl=
ete.
