> Ruby source code is checking for gmtime_r being a function and since
> gmtime_r is not present, localtime_r is defined.

> Now, beyond the Ruby issue, what is funny is this is defined in
> pthread.h, which was not included by me.

> This can be simply reproduced:

> #include <time.h>

> static struct tm*
> localtime_r(const time_t *t, struct tm *tm)
> {
> auto struct tm *tmp = localtime(t);
> if (tmp)

> C:\Users\Luis\Projects\sandbox>gcc t.c -o t.exe
> t.c:4:1: error: expected identifier or '(' before '{' token

> I've never explicitly required pthread.h, but seems time.h is doing that

> Now, looking at time.h, seems that localtime_r is only defined if

> 3) Why even _POSIX is not defined localtime_r is?

This has been fixed sometime after my 4.6.3 build. Please update to my
4.6.3-1 build. Your testcase below passes/compiles.
