This piece of code:
zzz1 <- as.POSIXct("1999-03-18", tz="CET")
zzz2 <- as.POSIXlt("1999-03-18", tz="CET")
zzz1 == zzz2
as.Date(zzz1)
as.Date(zzz2)
yields TRUE for "zzz1==zzz2", but the two dates returned by as.Date are
different:
> as.Date(zzz1)
[1] "1999-03-17"
> as.Date(zzz2)
[1] "1999-03-18"
For me this looks like a bug, even though it could be a problem with timezones,
but I couldn't find documentation that would explain that behaviour.
