The documentation for time_period suggests that for two periods tp1 and tp2, tp1 < tp2 if tp1.end() < tp2.begin() i.e. !tp1.intersects(tp2).
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_58_0/doc/html/date_time/posix_time.html#date...
But I can see that the following works:
time_period tp1(second_clock:local_time(), hours(2)); time_period tp2(second_clock:local_time() + hours(1), hours(2));
assert(tp1.intersects(tp2)); assert(tp1 < tp2);
The behavior seems legit - tp1.begin() < tp2.begin()/ The documentation says nothing about overlapping periods.
That is incorrect - sorry about that. The behavior is exactly as documented. But, this means that for overlapping periods like tp1 and tp2 where tp1.begin() < tp2.begin() < tp1.end() < tp2.end(), the following holds: tp1 >= tp2 This seems counter-intuitive.
