mktime and tm_yday calculations?

[Carlos O'Donell]

libc,

Why was mktime never augmented to calculate the appropriate other
values directly from a tm_year/tm_yday pair?

Would a patch to that effect be accepted? It's clearly not an outright
regression? If all other entries are zero, and tm_year/tm_yday are set
to non-zero values, the calculation would proceed. The only case might
be bad programs that didn't zero the structure before use?

Cheers,
Carlos.
