Thanks! 😻 I adjusted the code slightly, then manually verified that it still correctly prints both minutes and whole hours (by brain-surgery nulling out the abbrev pointer in the debugger). |
I'm mirroring this to the MSVC-internal repo - please notify me if any further changes are pushed. |
Thanks for figuring out how to fix this in a reasonable way! 😻 🗺️ 🕥 |

Sorry for commenting after a merge, but does this release()
call means we are leaking memory?

We aren't leaking memory. The returned __std_tzdb_sys_info*
will be stored in a unique_ptr<__std_tzdb_sys_info, _Tzdb_deleter<__std_tzdb_sys_info>>
, which will call __std_tzdb_delete_sys_info
in its destructor, which will perform delete[] _Info->_Abbrev;
This PR adds a fallback time zone abbreviation of the form
-05
or+0530
when the system's code page cannot represent the localized time zone short ID produced by ICU. Previously such time zone short ID would result inERROR_NO_UNICODE_TRANSLATION
exceptions.The numeric offset form (
-05
or+0530
) is chosen because it is similar to the time zone abbreviation intzdb
, and distinguishable from ICU's output.The behavior depends on the current user locale and the current code page. For ICU 77.1, the following locales have time zone short ID with non-ASCII characters, and thus might be affected by this fallback:
am
,ar
,as
,bg
,blo
,brx
,ckb
,cs
,dz
,fa
,ff_Adlm
,ga
,gd

,ku
,mai
,ml
,mni
,nqo
,sa
,sat
,sd
,sd_Deva
,si
,sk
,vi
,xnr
. In addition, the following locales have non-ASCII character (U+2212 or U+2013) as the minus sign, and thus are also affected:et
,eu
,fa
,fr
,lij
,lt
,se
,sv
.No tests are added because the
en
locale is unaffected.Fixes #3158
Fixes #5482
