2.8.0, WinCE and time functions

[Mickey Mestel]

hi,

    i have a project that is running widgets 2.6.3 on wince, compiled under=
 VS2005 with the Mobile 5.0 SDK.

    using the 2.8.0 libs and include files, i ran into a problem with the t=
ime functions.  the first issue was the following error:

SDKFuncs.cpp

c:\Program Files\wxWidgets-2.8.0\include\wx/datetime.h(1085) : error C3861:=
 'localtime': identifier not found

    datetime.h has the following:

#ifndef __WXWINCE__

#include <time.h>

#else

#include "wx/msw/wince/time.h"

#endif

    so i went there, only to find the following ifdef which is different fr=
om 2.6.3, (declarations after the ifdef are the same in 2.6.3):

// VC8 CRT provides the other functions

#if !defined(__VISUALC__) || (__VISUALC__ < 1400)

 struct tm * __cdecl localtime(const time_t *);

struct tm * __cdecl gmtime(const time_t *);

#define _tcsftime wcsftime

size_t __cdecl wcsftime(wchar_t *, size_t, const wchar_t *, const struct tm=
 *);

extern long timezone;

#endif // !VC8

   in my case, __VISUALC__ is defined as _MSC_VER, which is 1400, so the st=
atements following this ifdef are not included, hence the error listed abov=
e.  i then found out that i needed to change the corresponding ifdef  to an=
 #if 0:

#if defined(__VISUALC__) && (__VISUALC__ >=3D 1400)

in .../src/msw/wince/time.cpp

    once i did this, my app compiled ok.

    despite these comments, these time functions are not supplied by VS2005=
, and are not in the Mobile 5.0 SDK.

    i think this needs to be looked at again.  it appears to me that these =
files should stay as they were in 2.6.3.

    any comments or thoughts?  i would like to do something with this so th=
at i don't have a rogue library set lying around, know what i mean?

    thanks,

    mickm
