Subject: musl's strptime does not support POSIX %U/%W
Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2016 11:00:35 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4bb408a9-76e3-f432-48d7-72b69181bbcc@cockroachlabs.com> (raw)

Hi all,

we at CockroachDB would like to integrate strptime, but some of our
users on Alpine Linux discovered that musl's strptime doesn't live up to
expectations:

conv_test.go:58: strptime("2018 10 4", "%Y %W %w"): got
"2017-12-31T00:00:00Z", expected "2018-03-08T00:00:00Z"
conv_test.go:58: strptime("2018 10 4", "%Y %U %w"): got
"2017-12-31T00:00:00Z", expected "2018-03-15T00:00:00Z"

Indeed there's a FIXME in there:
https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/time/strptime.c#n123

We've filed this internally as
https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/issues/10130

As of this day this is the only known limitation that prevents
compatibility of CockroachDB with musl. If you have any suggestions /
input we'd be glad to receive them!

Best regards
