From 6654754779d2a90af91a9c6b93d7e4e7ee16cfab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2014 17:28:42 -0400 Subject: date: recognize bogus FreeBSD gmtime output MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Most gmtime implementations return a NULL value when they encounter an error (and this behavior is specified by ANSI C and POSIX). FreeBSD's implementation, however, will simply leave the "struct tm" untouched. Let's also recognize this and convert it to a NULL (with this patch, t4212 should pass on FreeBSD).

Some implementations, like AIX, may actually just provide us a bogus result instead. It's not worth it for us to come up with heuristics that guess whether the return value is sensible or not. On good platforms where gmtime reports the problem to us with NULL, we will print the epoch value. On bad platforms, we will print garbage. But our test should be written for the lowest common denominator so that it passes everywhere.
