Eggdrop BUG in bind time?

2006-05-17T21:37:27-04:00

::bump::

Maybe this should be noted in the tcl-command.doc, cos that file says digits are "exactly two-characterss long" :/

Eggdrop docs assume the user has the basic knowledge of unix-like operating systems to know that the first number in any count is 0.
With this knowledge, and the statement that digits require two characters, January is month 00.

Eggdrop BUG in bind time?

this is not a bug

eggdrop gets the time via standard library time functions, which utilize struct tm; that struct has the following members:

Code:

           int tm_sec;     /* seconds (0 - 60) */           int tm_min;     /* minutes (0 - 59) */           int tm_hour;    /* hours (0 - 23) */           int tm_mday;    /* day of month (1 - 31) */           int tm_mon;     /* month of year (0 - 11) */           int tm_year;    /* year - 1900 */           int tm_wday;    /* day of week (Sunday = 0) */           int tm_yday;    /* day of year (0 - 365) */           int tm_isdst;   /* is summer time in effect? */           char *tm_zone;  /* abbreviation of timezone name */           long tm_gmtoff; /* offset from UTC in seconds */

as you can see, months are zero-base indexed

Hmmm, I didn't know that!!!

So, if if I want to get the "real" number of month i have to [expr {$month + 1}].

Thx

Eggdrop BUG in bind time?

Just look the following code and correct me if I'm wrong.

_geo_ is me and CerberuS is my eggdrop (1.6.17)

Code:

[07:09:44] <_geo_> .tcl proc chktime { min hour day month year } { putlog "$min - $hour - $day - $month - $year" }[07:09:44]  Tcl: [07:12:02] <_geo_> .tcl putlog [clock format [clock seconds] -format "%c"][07:12:02]  [07:11:29] Sat 19 Mar 2005 07:11:29 AM EET [07:12:03]  Tcl: [07:12:26] <_geo_> .tcl bind time - "12 07 * * *" chktime [07:12:26]  Tcl: 12 07 * * *[07:12:33]  [07:12:00] 12 - 07 - 19 - 02 - 2005

Also date command for my shell is:

Code:

-bash-2.05b$ dateSat Mar 19 07:16:13 EET 2005

As you can see the month is March, which is 3rd, but when the time bind calls the chktime procedure the month which returns is 02.
Why this happens?

Thx
