commit r17-5738-g4df0aa192d9308936d6f2f0dc643c8c7ba31e46c Author: Jonathan Wakely <[email protected]> Date: Wed Oct 28 15:26:55 2026 +0000 libstdc++: Improve exception text from chrono::tzdb::locate_zone I think "cannot locate time zone" is better than "cannot locate zone". If an application shows this message to a user then mentioning "time zone" is more user-friendly than expecting people to recognise what "std::chrono::tzdb" means. That class name is only meaningful to C++ developers. Furthmore, if the application removes the "std::chrono::tzdb: " prefix then this leaves a reasonable descriptive message that isn't too cryptic. libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: * src/c++20/tzdb.cc (tzdb::locate_zone): Adjust exception text to say "time zone". * testsuite/std/time/tzdb/links.cc: Adjust expected exception text.
