Question

I am living in the Netherlands, when I run this code:

boost::local_time::local_date_time t = boost::local_time::local_sec_clock::local_time(boost::local_time::time_zone_ptr());

std::cout << "\nDate Time: " << t.to_string() ;

The “Date Time” returned is one hour behind. It is UTC but it should be GMT+1 or UTC+1 for my current system date time!

What should I change to the boost::local_time to get the system date time.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

boost::local_time::time_zone_ptr zone_GMT1(new boost::local_time::posix_time_zone(“GMT+1”));

boost::local_time::local_date_time t =
boost::local_time::local_sec_clock::local_time(zone_GMT1);

I found out to use the timeZone.

It works fine for me

Thanks!
