Hi Luc -

I was wondering, while looking at the source files, why the date_iterator doesn't provide an operator--() ???

A couple reasons. 1) I wasn't sure it would be needed, so to keep things simple I left it out. 2) See below...

I've added this in the "date_iterator.hpp" file :

//--------------------------------------------------------- date_itr_base& operator--() { current_ = current_ - get_offset(current_); return *this; } //---------------------------------------------------------

I've rebuilt the library and done this little test :

//--------------------------------------------------------- #include <iostream> #include

int main(void) { using namespace boost::gregorian;

date today = day_clock::local_day(); day_iterator ditr(today, 1); int nbDaysToIterate = 360;

for (;nbDaysToIterate != 0; --ditr, --nbDaysToIterate) { std::cout << to_iso_extended_string(*ditr) << std::endl; } } //---------------------------------------------------------

Everything seems to run OK. I've checked the february month and it has a 28th... Now I wonder why wasn't it included in the release ???

It's true that this works fine for the day_iterator. If you try the same test with the month and year iterators, they will fail. The reason being that the functors that calculate 'add a month' and 'add a year' are written assuming a forward iterator. That's not to say that they couldn't be modified to support bi-directional iteration, just that it is a tad harder in these cases. Jeff
