The documentation for the date_time library states that a ptime can be constructed from a special value e.g. ptime(special_values sv) ptime t1(neg_infin); ptime t2(pos_infin); ptime t3(not_a_date_time);
However when I try this with the Cygwin GNU compiler I get a no matching function for call error (see errors below) Am I missing something here or is the documentation wrong?
The documentation was wrong -- this was a bug in 1.31 release. The fix is already in CVS. I believe you should only need to download and patch in the latest version of boost/date_time/posix_time/ptime.hpp. You can get it from: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/boost/boost/boost/date_time/posix_time... Note the log entry on change: ptime.hpp 1.4 fix the posix_time constructor to accept special values Jeff
