I wrote this program to see what happens after 2038-1-19 03:14:07 by just changing the windows time and printing time with ctime, but to my surprise my program stopped working at 2038-1-19 0:59:59. Why is that so? Is it because of ctime?
This is the code i used:
#include <ctime>
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
int main(void){
while(true){
std::time_t t = std::time(0);
std::tm* now = std::localtime(&t);
std::cout << (now->tm_year + 1900) << '-'
<< (now->tm_mon + 1) << '-'
<< now->tm_mday << ' '
<< now->tm_hour << ':'
<< now->tm_min << ':'
<< now->tm_sec
<< "\n";
Sleep(1000);
}
return 0;
}
And this was the generated output:
...
2038-1-19 0:59:55
2038-1-19 0:59:56
2038-1-19 0:59:57
2038-1-19 0:59:58
2038-1-19 0:59:59
