Hi, after upgrading to latest v8 from master (say, v4.10.43) on linux (ubuntu 15.10) and os x (10.11.3) changing timezone with putennv("TZ=<timezone>") (http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/putenv.3.html) new timezone affects v8 runtime without calling v8::Date::DateTimeConfigurationChangeNotification. I guess it happens after "[runtime] Migrate several Date builtins to C++" (https://github.com/v8/v8/commit/065e9c536f14b3d7cb4d140c6f74e024e31ee1a2) commit.
Here is some meta-code to demonstrate problem: putenv("TZ=America/New_York"); v8::Date::DateTimeConfigurationChangeNotification(); v8::MaybeLocal<v8::Date> date = v8::Date::New(context, 1445444940000.0). ToLocalChecked(); date.ToLocalChecked()->ToString(context); // Wed Oct 21 2015 09:29:00 GMT-0700 (EDT) putenv("TZ=UTC"); date.ToLocalChecked()->ToString(context); // Wed Oct 21 2015 09:29:00 GMT-0700 (UTC) before (apr. that changes I mentioned above) both ToString() returned EDT time. Based on this, I have few questions: 1. How now TZ changes handled internally, if any? 2. What is recommended way to handle TZ changes? 3. Is using v8::Date::DateTimeConfigurationChangeNotification() still mandatory to notify TZ changes? -- -- v8-users mailing list v8-users@googlegroups.com http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "v8-users" group.
