i've tracked this down to an stlport bug. it seems that no leading 0's are appended on %y, %W and %j which is contrary to what strftime would produce.

this bug exists in the version of stlport shipped with Solaris Studio 12.2 (4.2.3). It is not fixed in the latest stlport version either from the looks of the code.

should this be worked around for stlport users?

sorry, forgot to mention its actually the time_put facet which is at fault here.

the offending code is in time_facets.cpp the method write_formatted_timeT

this is actually an stlport bug, existing in all released versions (but partially fixed in the unreleased git version).

the solaris compiler bug is:

the stlport bug is:

Fix in develop.

status changed; resolution set

Closing this bug. What acharles meant by "fixed in develop" was that we added a test for %y with a year < 10 to the test suite.

This is really a STLPort bug; but there may never be another release of STLPort.
