[PATCH] libstdc++: Search for tzdata on Windows (msys)

Mon Jul 7 20:26:16 GMT 2025


From: Björn Schäpers <bjoern@hazardy.de>

Sorry for the noise, this is the current version of the Patch.

-- >8 --
Windows does not provide a tzdata.zi, but msys does. Use this, if
available, instead of the embedded (and possibly outdated) database.

libstdc++-v3/Changelog:

	Use msys provided time zone information.

	* src/c++20/tzdb.cc (zoneinfo_file): On Windows look relative
	from the DLL path for the time zone information.
