            Bug ID: 31144
           Summary: mktime: returns clock for UTC with isdst=3D1
           Product: glibc

Reproducer

A Debian user reported a behaviour change of the mktime function affecting
Erlang/OTP. When passing isdst=3D1 with an UTC timezone, a time is now retu=
rned
(with isdst=3D0), while in the past it returned an error.

The issue has been tracked to the following commit
83859e1115269cf56d21669361d4ddbe2687831c which went into 2.37, and got
backported to the 2.34, 2.35 and 2.36 branches.

The C standard is not fully clear about the behaviour in that case:

"A positive or 0 value for tm_isdst shall cause mktime() to presume initial=
ly
that Daylight Savings Time, respectively, is or is not in effect for the
specified time. A negative value for tm_isdst shall cause mktime() to attem=
pt
to determine whether Daylight Savings Time is in effect for the specified
time."

However it appears that the original GNU libc behaviour before that commit
matches the FreeBSD libc behaviour.

The user provided a small test program to exercise the issue (see attacheme=
nt):

$ gcc -o check_dst check_dst.c
$ TZ=3DUTC ./check_dst 0=20
tzname[0]: UTC, tzname[1]: UTC
        dst before: 0
        dst after: 0
        clock: 1217548800
$ TZ=3DUTC ./check_dst 1
tzname[0]: UTC, tzname[1]: UTC
        dst before: 1
        dst after: 0
        clock: 1217545200
