Summary0000516: Additional efuns for date/time conversion to strings and calculating a unix timestamp
DescriptionI (and probably other wizards too) often miss 2 efuns concerning date and time:
1a) an efun to convert a timestamp to a string with the possibility to specify a format string (like strftime() in libc).
1b) this efun should be able to use languages other than english (e.g. for weekday names)
(Both could be done as sefun, but I think, that is a really ineffective choice (see below))

2) an efun to convert a date/time into the corresponding unix timestamp (mktime() in libc). This is probably less often used but it is a serious problem, if you have to do it. Many wizards write some lfuns for this, but it is really easy to miss something like leapyears/leapseconds this way.

I would suggest:
1a) The driver already uses strftime() from libc. We could give ctime() a second optional argument for specifying a format string. That string would be passed through to strftime(), which provides the full flexibility of strftime() for ingame use.
1b) strftime() honours Locales. The driver may set the Locale category for time/date handling from the environment variable LC_TIME/LC_ALL through calling setlocale() at driver start. A new efun ltime() could use strftime() with the "correct" local Locale set (e.g. de_DE, es_ES). In case of ctime() the driver could temporarily switch to the standard "C" locale. This way we have the classical ctime() and a localized ltime() for non-english muds.

2) There ist a libc-function called mktime(), which does exactly this. It should be simple to create an efun mktime(), which gets an array of ints like the one localtime() returns. The efun creates a corresponding tm struct, calls mktime() and returns the time stamp.

I uploaded a patch with the 2 new efuns: mktime() and strftime(). The patch got a bit larger than expected. ;-)

1. mktime() takes an array like the one localtime() returns and converts it to a timestamp by calling the libc mktime().

2. strftime() is varargs and takes up to 3 arguments: format string, timestamp and a flag specifying the locale to use ("C" or the one specified by the environment variable LC_TIME/LC_ALL). This efun will not take a utime argument, because you would have to implement a specific format identifier for the microseconds and parse the strings yourself, which probably should better be done in an sefun.

For strftime() I made some changes to port.c|h:
a) New function: char *time_fstring (mp_int t, const char* str, Bool localized).
If localization ist not requested, the locale is temporarily changed to the "C" locale and set back before leaving the function. I chose it this way, because the f_ctime()-Result ist cached, while the one for v_strftime() is not (at the moment).
b) time_string() was removed, f_ctime() now calls time_fstring() with the appropriate arguments.
c) utime_string() should have cached the result, but that didn't work because the variables weren't static. (same in time_string()) As it is quite unlikely, that the microsecond value does not change from one call to the other, I think it is not worth trying to cache the result and removed caching altogether from that function.

Changes in efuns.c|h
a) new efuns
b) ctime() calls time_fstring().
c) ctime() now caches the result as tabled string in the efun. Consecutive calls with the same time argument to ctime() use about 20% of the first call.

Changes to main.c
a) activating the LC_TIME locale category and setting it to the locale specified by LC_ALL/LC_TIME.

Potential Todos:
1. time_fstring() should be able to use format string longer than 511 Chars.
2. Caching for v_strftime(). This probably requires implementing some kind of GC support and initialization function in efuns.c.

I will create manpages for the efuns soon and attach them. If you like to have a look at the changes, the new efuns and/or try the patch, please do and comment. ;-)

I just want to note, that the caching in the suggested patch behaves rather badly with the garbage collector. I have removed the caching for now from my code at home until I have time to write some caching mechanism which actually works with the GC. If you are interested, I can upload the non-caching functions in the meantime.

I prepared a new set of patches (applying cleanly against r2364). I splitted the patch into two and added a cache mechanism to ctime() which actually works this time. ;-)

mktime.diff: only the efun mktime()
strfime.diff: only the efun strftime() (including changes to port.c|h and ctime())
strfime_cached.diff: only the efun strftime(), cached version (including changes to port.c|h and ctime())

For convenience, because the 2 separate patches do not apply cleanly, I revised the combined patches:
mktime_strftime_noncached.diff: mktime() and strftime(), non-caching ctime()
mktime_strftime_cached.diff: mktime() and strftime(), caching ctime()


Note: The cache for ctime() was formerly in time_string() in port.c. I removed it there and put it a level higher in the efun, which spares the driver for searching the string hash table for the cached result from time_string() in port.c.
Comparison of 300k ctime() calls:
old: 752 ms
new, cached: 85 ms

Note2: For compatibilty with the garbage collector I added clear_ref_from_efuns() and count_ref_from_efuns() to efuns.c and call them from gcollect.c for counting the refs to the ctime cache.

I would like to include these efuns in the next release. We have them in use in Morgengrauen for about a year, the current versions for about 2 months. I still have to prepare the english manpages. Are there any objections against these 2 new efuns?

Applied latest patches, added german and english manpages and committed as r2440 (3.3.718).
