`touch`: move from `time` to `chrono` #4600

tertsdiepraam · 2023-03-24T11:06:00Z

chrono has better support for daylight savings time, so I was able to support that and enable the test for it. It's also just easier to work with, so we can remove a lot of verbosity with this too.

For reviewing, the DST and leap second handling is probably most important. The formats should also be checked, even though they are (hopefully) well-tested.

Some rustfmt & clippy warnings

tertsdiepraam · 2023-03-24T19:29:07Z

Yeah I'll look into those after the PR it depends on is merged.

Yes, I'll look into that :)

tertsdiepraam · 2023-05-28T23:01:42Z

I bet Windows doesn't work because it does not parse the libc-style timezone syntax. I think it's best if I just disable the test for Windows. At least we get the correct behaviour merged then. Do you agree, @sylvestre?

sylvestre · 2023-07-12T09:55:09Z

@tertsdiepraam sorry, i missed your question. I am fine with disabling the test on Windows

tertsdiepraam · 2023-07-27T10:51:25Z

I disabled the test on windows and got this all up to date with main I think :)

Somehow I don't see what the purpose is of this and the other similar comments.

It's used in this function:

coreutils/src/uu/touch/src/touch.rs

Lines 401 to 415 in 1037304

    
           let (format, ts) = match s.chars().count() { 
        
               15 => (YYYYMMDDHHMM_DOT_SS, s.to_owned()), 
        
               12 => (YYYYMMDDHHMM, s.to_owned()), 
        
               // If we don't add "20", we have insufficient information to parse 
        
               13 => (YYYYMMDDHHMM_DOT_SS, format!("20{}", s)), 
        
               10 => (YYYYMMDDHHMM, format!("20{}", s)), 
        
               11 => (YYYYMMDDHHMM_DOT_SS, format!("{}{}", current_year(), s)), 
        
               8 => (YYYYMMDDHHMM, format!("{}{}", current_year(), s)), 
        
               _ => { 
        
                   return Err(USimpleError::new( 
        
                       1, 
        
                       format!("invalid date format {}", s.quote()), 
        
                   )) 
        
               } 
        
           };

It's mostly just a leftover from before, when it was harder to determine the length of the format due to the format strings from the time crate. I can remove it if you want.

I would remove them.

+///
+/// The DateTime is converted into a unix timestamp from which the FileTime is
+/// constructed.
+fn dt_to_filetime<T: TimeZone>(dt: &DateTime<T>) -> FileTime {


I would use datetime instead of dt because chrono also uses datetime in its function names.

Suggested change

fn dt_to_filetime<T: TimeZone>(dt: &DateTime<T>) -> FileTime {

fn datetime_to_filetime<T: TimeZone>(dt: &DateTime<T>) -> FileTime {

Yeah that name was leftover from local_dt_to_filetime. I'll fix it

I guess ft is a left over from the previous code. Not sure whether this first sentence is even needed.

Yeah I removed the sentence

+    // in which case any time between 2:00 AM and 2:59 AM is not valid.
+    // If we are within this jump, chrono assumes takes the offset from before


I'm not sure whether there is something missing between "assumes" and "takes" or one of those words can be removed.

Indeed, I removed "assumes"

This allows us to work with daylight savings time which is necessary to enable one of the tests. The leap second calculation and parsing are also ported over. A bump in the chrono version is necessary to use NaiveTime::MIN.
