Subject: The ctime_s function in Annex K defined incorrectly
Summary
The ctime_s function in Annex K was defined
analogously to ctime, and some of the text from the
definition of ctime was copied and modified
slightly.
K.3.8.2.2p4 states that ctime_s is equivalent to
the following.
asctime_s(s, maxsize, localtime_s(timer))In this case, the text from the original ctime
definition was not quite modified enough.
The localtime_s function takes two arguments and the
above code only supplies one.
Suggested Technical Corrigendum
In K.3.8.2.2p4, replace
asctime_s(s, maxsize, localtime_s(timer))with the following.
asctime_s(s, maxsize, localtime_s(timer, &(struct tm){ 0 }))Proposed Technical Corrigendum
In K.3.8.2.2p4, replace
asctime_s(s, maxsize, localtime_s(timer))with the following.
asctime_s(s, maxsize, localtime_s(timer, &(struct tm){ 0 }))
