Subject: tests: date: check date-string parsing corner cases
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e75940f6755a36789b05d45f3dd820bc98e55a34;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

tests: date: check date-string parsing corner cases

* tests/date/date.pl: Add tests covering a leading day-of-week name,
out-of-range zone minutes, two timezone tokens, a bare sign operand,
a trailing token after an @epoch operand, operand quoting in
diagnostics, and a '+N unit' suffix following a complete time.
* tests/date/date-tz.sh: Add tests covering daylight-saving gap,
and overlap local times.
Closes https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/pull/284
