<p> Trolltech defines <i>Year 2000 Compliance</i> as a requirement that a
|
|
|
|
|
product or part of product does not contain errors related to
|
|
|
|
|
transition from December 31, 1999 to January 1, 2000, or to the
|
|
|
|
|
existence of February 29, 2000.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> This document certifies that the API provided by TQt and the
|
|
|
|
|
implementation of TQt are both Year 2000 Compliant, and that the use of
|
|
|
|
|
underlying APIs by TQt does not have any known problems.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <h2> The API Provided by TQt
|
|
|
|
|
</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<a name="1"></a><p> Several parts of TQt deal with dates and times:
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> <a href="qdate.html">TQDate</a> - provides date management
|
|
|
|
|
<li> <a href="qdatetime.html">TQDateTime</a> - provides date/time management
|
|
|
|
|
<li> <a href="qtime.html">TQTime</a> - provides time management (within a date)
|
|
|
|
|
<li> <a href="qtimer.html">TQTimer</a> - provides delayed or regular execution of code.
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> All of these classes' external APIs are Year 2000 Compliant: <a href="qdate.html">TQDate</a> and
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="qdatetime.html">TQDateTime</a> offer only four-digit years as output, <a href="qtime.html">TQTime</a> and <a href="qtimer.html">TQTimer</a> do
|
|
|
|
|
not deal with years or leap days at all.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <h2> Implementation Issues in TQt
|
|
|
|
|
</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<a name="2"></a><p> All date/time calculation and storage in TQt uses number of days,
|
|
|
|
|
seconds or milliseconds, and is thus Year 2000 Compliant.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> This applies to the above four classes and also to <a href="qfiledialog.html">TQFileDialog</a>
|
|
|
|
|
(which can sort files by time/date), <a href="qfileinfo.html">TQFileInfo</a> (which operates on
|
|
|
|
|
file times/dates) and <a href="qapplication.html">TQApplication</a> (which does various internal
|
|
|
|
|
housekeeping tasks).
|
|
|
|
|
<p> The conversion to <tt>year/month/date</tt> format in TQDate (and
|
|
|
|
|
TQDateTime) has been verified to be correct for all of December 31,
|
|
|
|
|
1999, January 1, 2000, February 28 and 29, 2000, March 1, 2000,
|
|
|
|
|
January 1, 2001 and March 1, 2001.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> TQt has been verified to be robust in case of time/date errors (such as
|
|
|
|
|
time warps) in the underlying operating system.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <h2> Use of System APIs
|
|
|
|
|
</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<a name="3"></a><p> It is of course impossible for Trolltech to ensure that both of the
|
|
|
|
|
window systems and all of the operating systems on which TQt runs are
|
|
|
|
|
Year 2000 Compliant. However, TQt does not use any APIs that are known
|
|
|
|
|
to have any Year 2000-related bugs, or seem at risk to have any.
