Description of problem: This is a peace of C code: ... struct tm time; strptime("10:22PM", "%R%p", &time); ... Shouldn't we got 22:22:00 in 24-hour notation? Right now I've got 10:22:00 even if use setlocale(LC_TIME, "en_US"); before above fragment. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-2.3.3-27, gcc-3.3.3-7 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: 10:22:00 Expected results: 22:22:00 Additional info:
No. strptime is governed by the the standard which clearly says what should happen. %R is %H:%M and %H is 24 hour notation. If you want to get 22:22:00 in struct tm passed to strptime, use "%I:%M%p" format instead of "%R%p" (which is the same as "%H:%M%p").
