The Year 1925 is a starting point because most of the timezones
switched to saner (mostly 15-minutes based) offsets somewhere
during 1924 or before. And that significantly simplifies implementation.
2238 is to simplify arithmetics for sanitizing LUT index access;
there are less than 0x1ffff days from 1925.
* Extended DateLUTImpl internal LUT to 0x1ffff items, some of which
represent negative (pre-1970) time values.
As a collateral benefit, Date now correctly supports dates up to 2149
(instead of 2106).
* Added a new strong typedef ExtendedDayNum, which represents dates
pre-1970 and post 2149.
* Functions that used to return DayNum now return ExtendedDayNum.
* Refactored DateLUTImpl to untie DayNum from the dual role of being
a value and an index (due to negative time). Index is now a different
type LUTIndex with explicit conversion functions from DatNum, time_t,
and ExtendedDayNum.
* Updated DateLUTImpl to properly support values close to epoch start
(1970-01-01 00:00), including negative ones.
* Reduced resolution of DateLUTImpl::Values::time_at_offset_change
to multiple of 15-minutes to allow storing 64-bits of time_t in
DateLUTImpl::Value while keeping same size.
* Minor performance updates to DateLUTImpl when building month LUT
by skipping non-start-of-month days.
* Fixed extractTimeZoneFromFunctionArguments to work correctly
with DateTime64.
* New unit-tests and stateless integration tests for both DateTime
and DateTime64.
check-style uses "git status" to see changed ya.make files.
However it seems that that the sources was cloned some ancient git
version, likely <2.8, since there was a bug, that has been fixed in 2.8
[1]:
" * A partial rewrite of "git submodule" in the 2.7 timeframe changed
the way the gitdir: pointer in the submodules point at the real
repository location to use absolute paths by accident. This has
been corrected."
