Re: Status on timegm()

Thanks for the tip, but I was mainly referring to adding it to newlib. What's keeping it from happening? Or it won't happen at all? C20 standardized it, which should count for something, no?

I didn't' see that discussion. But if you need an unencumbered set of time conversion functions, look in the "tzcode" package that is part of the tzdata project; with listed exceptions that entire package is in the public domain. In particular, timegm() can be found in file localtime.c in that package, and the header of that file confirms it is in the public domain. (FWIW, the exceptions are stated to be covered by the BSD 3-clause license.)
