Subject: timegm() and other time related functions
Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2023 14:57:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <998a95d4-98c6-f434-f34d-f53ea2bea6d9@embedded-brains.de> (raw)

Hello,

while porting nats.c to RTEMS I noticed that Newlib doesn't provide a 
timegm() function. There a couple of related patches and discussions on 
the Newlib mailing list in the last years.

In order to add support for timegm() I would replace the Newlib time 
function implementation with the version of a more actively maintained 
platform, for example OpenBSD, FreeBSD or bionic. It seems that the 
upstream for the bionic code is OpenBSD. The OpenBSD and FreeBSD code 
diverged a bit, however, FreeBSD seems to integrate changes from OpenBSD 
occasionally. The FreeBSD looks to be closer to the original tzcode and 
uses the pthread API. I tend to use the FreeBSD code. Would that be 
acceptable?

Kind regards,
	Sebastian
