Re: timestamp confusion

According to Löwis on 6/20/2007 5:45 AM:
I'm confused that there exist at least four different (constant)
timestamps that can be displayed by 'dir /T:W', 'dir /T:A', 'dir /T:C', and
'ls -l --time=ctime'. I expected the times displayed by 'dir /T:C' and
'ls -l --time=ctime' to be the same.
Welcome to Unix emulation coupled with Windows timestamp stupidity.
... with Windows DST bug IMO the most annoying:
(C:NTFS, F:FAT)
$ cd /cygdrive/c
$ ls -l --full-time test-* | cut -c 28-
2007-01-01 12:00:00.000000000 +0100 test-jan
2007-06-01 12:00:00.000000000 +0200 test-jun
$ cmd /c dir test-* | grep test-
01.01.2007 13:00 0 test-jan
01.06.2007 12:00 0 test-jun
$ cd /cygdrive/f
$ ls -l --full-time test-* | cut -c 28-
2007-01-01 11:00:00.000000000 +0100 test-jan
2007-06-01 12:00:00.000000000 +0200 test-jun
$ cmd /c dir test-* | grep test-
01.01.2007 12:00 0 test-jan
01.06.2007 12:00 0 test-jun
Wait until next DST change and enjoy 1 hour time shifts in the opposite
direction.
Cygwin's time stamps are OK on NTFS,
Windows' (cmd, explorer, msvcrt's stat()) on FAT.
Is this fixed on Vista? Bug was still present on Vista RC1.
