Ok, check_parse calls function parse_date(), it calls
parse_date_basic(), where following code is present:
memset(&tm, 0, sizeof(tm));
tm.tm_year = -1;
tm.tm_mon = -1;
tm.tm_mday = -1;
tm.tm_isdst = -1;
tm.tm_hour = -1;
tm.tm_min = -1;
tm.tm_sec = -1;
Almost all fields are set to -1. A bit later match_multi_number() is
called. It parses the date and calls is_date() with partially filled
tm structure, where all time fields: tm_hour, tm_min, tm_sec are set
to -1. tm_to_time_t() function is called by is_date() and has special
check:
if (tm->tm_hour < 0 || tm->tm_min < 0 || tm->tm_sec < 0)
return -1;
So is_date() always return negative result for the text string where
date is placed before time like '2008-02-14 20:30:45'. It must fail on
other platforms as well.
