[PATCH v2] libstdc++: Support ON-format DAY in Zone UNTIL field [PR124852]

Tomasz Kamiński tkaminsk@redhat.com
Tue May 12 09:35:49 GMT 2026


From: Álvaro Begué <alvaro.begue@gmail.com>

The Zone-line UNTIL parser only accepted a plain day-of-month integer
for the DAY field, while the tzdata.zi grammar accepts the same ON-style
forms as Rule lines: lastSun, Sun>=8, Sat<=20, etc. Real zones use these
forms in their UNTIL DAY: Europe/Simferopol's `3 - MSK 1997 Mar lastSu
1u`, for instance, became `Mar 1` (silently misparsed) instead of `Mar
30`, leaving Simferopol an extra 29 days in MSK.

The previous parser's `int d = 1; in >> m >> d >> t;` chain silently
left d == 1 when the day token wasn't a digit, then went on to parse the
remainder as the TIME field.

Renames on_day to on_month_day, and factor out the day-component parser
parser from operator>>(istream&, on_month_day&) as operator>> for newly
added on_day_t tag type, and reuse it for the UNTIL DAY field. It
handles all three on_day forms (DayOfMonth, LastWeekday, LessEq /
GreaterEq).  The MONTH-only and YEAR-only short forms are still accepted
because the DAY/TIME fields are optional and default to day 1, time 00:00.
The on_day struct's pin() method handles the year/month-relative
resolution.

The DAY field is unambiguously distinguishable from a TIME field that
could otherwise follow the MONTH directly: per zic's grammar, MONTH
must be followed by DAY before any TIME is allowed.  So we always
attempt to parse a DAY if any non-whitespace remains after the MONTH.

libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:

	PR libstdc++/124852
	* src/c++20/tzdb.cc (on_day): Rename to...
	(on_day_month): Rename from on_day.
	(on_day_month::on_day_t, on_day_month::on_day): Define.
	(operator>>(istream&, on_day_t&&)): Factored out of
	operator>>(istream&, on_day&).
	(operator>>(istream&, on_day&)): Use on_day_t parser.
	(operator>>(istream&, ZoneInfo&)): Replace the integer DAY
	parser with on_day_t for the UNTIL field.
	* testsuite/std/time/time_zone/until_day_on.cc: New test.

v2 changes:
 - rename on_day to on_month_day for clarity
 - introduce on_day_t/on_day helpers and replace parse_day_spec
   with operator>> for on_day_t
 - adds comment on VERIFY( override_used ) checks
I think on_month_day is better name (it is always day of month),
also store reference in on_day_t helper, so I do not need to wonder
about nulls.

Testing on x86_64-linux. The *tzdb* passed.
OK for trunk when all test passes?
