Hi.
Evaluating:
DateAndTime now asUnixTime
and then creating a DateAndTime object from the result:
DateAndTime fromUnixTime: <seconds>
does not yield an equivalent object. As far as I can tell, this is because the
unix epoch is hard coded in two places:
DateAndTime class>>unixEpoch
"Answer a DateAndTime representing the Unix epoch (1 January 1970,
midnight UTC)"
^ self basicNew
ticks: #(2440588 0 0) offset: Duration zero;
yourself.
DateAndTime>>fromUnixTime: anInteger
^ self fromSeconds: anInteger +
2177452800 "unix epoch constant"
So in the end I get a difference of 7200 seconds.
I'll gladly open up a bug but can someone please confirm that this is actually
a bug and that I didn't miss something?
Cheers,
Max
