6664	std::setw() is ignored by operator<< for ptime, time_duration, and date	Mark van Dijk <mark.van.dijk@…>	az_sw_dude	"The following complete program demonstrates the issue.  when using operator<< to display a ptime/time_duration/date, then the setw() manipulator is ignored. 

My development environment is boost 1.48, building a 32-bit app on Win7 (x64) under VS2008. 

I consider this a cosmetic issue as there is a very simple work-aroud - simply manually convert the ptime/date/duration object to a string before inserting it into the ostream object.

{{{
#include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp>
#include <boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian.hpp>
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>


int main()
{

    boost::posix_time::ptime const now = boost::posix_time::second_clock::local_time();

    std::cout 
        << ""\ncorrectly formatted: "" << std::setw(40) << boost::posix_time::to_simple_string(now)
        << ""\nptime:               "" << std::setw(40) << now
        << ""\ntime_duration:       "" << std::setw(40) << now.date()
        << ""\ndate:                "" << std::setw(40) << now.time_of_day()
        << std::endl;
}
