Y2K compliance in libpng:
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
|
||||
December 12, 2001
|
||||
|
||||
Since the PNG Development group is an ad-hoc body, we can't make
|
||||
an official declaration.
|
||||
|
||||
This is your unofficial assurance that libpng from version 0.71 and
|
||||
upward through 1.2.1 are Y2K compliant. It is my belief that earlier
|
||||
versions were also Y2K compliant.
|
||||
|
||||
Libpng only has three year fields. One is a 2-byte unsigned integer
|
||||
that will hold years up to 65535. The other two hold the date in text
|
||||
format, and will hold years up to 9999.
|
||||
|
||||
The integer is
|
||||
"png_uint_16 year" in png_time_struct.
|
||||
|
||||
The strings are
|
||||
"png_charp time_buffer" in png_struct and
|
||||
"near_time_buffer", which is a local character string in png.c.
|
||||
|
||||
There are seven time-related functions:
|
||||
|
||||
png_convert_to_rfc_1123() in png.c
|
||||
(formerly png_convert_to_rfc_1152() in error)
|
||||
png_convert_from_struct_tm() in pngwrite.c, called in pngwrite.c
|
||||
png_convert_from_time_t() in pngwrite.c
|
||||
png_get_tIME() in pngget.c
|
||||
png_handle_tIME() in pngrutil.c, called in pngread.c
|
||||
png_set_tIME() in pngset.c
|
||||
png_write_tIME() in pngwutil.c, called in pngwrite.c
|
||||
|
||||
All appear to handle dates properly in a Y2K environment. The
|
||||
png_convert_from_time_t() function calls gmtime() to convert from system
|
||||
clock time, which returns (year - 1900), which we properly convert to
|
||||
the full 4-digit year. There is a possibility that applications using
|
||||
libpng are not passing 4-digit years into the png_convert_to_rfc_1123()
|
||||
function, or that they are incorrectly passing only a 2-digit year
|
||||
instead of "year - 1900" into the png_convert_from_struct_tm() function,
|
||||
but this is not under our control. The libpng documentation has always
|
||||
stated that it works with 4-digit years, and the APIs have been
|
||||
documented as such.
|
||||
|
||||
The tIME chunk itself is also Y2K compliant. It uses a 2-byte unsigned
|
||||
integer to hold the year, and can hold years as large as 65535.
|
||||
|
||||
zlib, upon which libpng depends, is also Y2K compliant. It contains
|
||||
no date-related code.
