Year 2038 problem

[R. Diez]

Hi all:

I am developing embedded firmware on 32-bit ARM Cortex-Mx processors. I believe that there is still no work-around for the year 2038 problem in newlib, right?

On another note, there seems to be no way for tzset to report any parsing errors. That means the user does not know if the time zone string was parsed correctly.


Because of these issues, I guess I will have to write the whole date/time code from scratch, which is no fun. Or can someone suggest a work-around or another time-handling library?

Regards,
