Subject: strftime %U,
%V, and %W conversion
specifiers.
Summary
In <time.h>, strftime
conversion specifiers %U, %W,
and %V do not need tm_year.
Committee Response
The Standard is correct. tm_year is provided
in the case %U and %W, to give
freedom to choose the implementation (the output can be
determinded using either tm_year or
tm_wday, along with tm_yday).
For %V it is definitely required as the
computation cannot be made without tm_year.
