Hello,

i am using Boost V1.5.8 under vs 2010 with a german windows 7 64 bit. When I tried to calculate a time period I always ran into the same problem. The period is calculated one day too short. I wrote a little program to illustrate my problem. It's important that you change the value of the variable test to the current date. Is this a bug or do I use the library in an incorrect way?

The end of the period is not considered part of the period (see http://theboostcpplibraries.com/boost.datetime-calendar#ex.datetime_08 or http://dieboostcppbibliotheken.de/boost.datetime-kalenderdaten#ex.datetime_0... if you prefer German).

HTH, Boris

One way to think of it is that the date 2015-06-01 means the point in time 2015-06-01 00:00:00, so if that is the end point of a period, the day isn't included. -- Richard Damon
