pun intended) that I'm touching the time library. Brian Schack reported that the traffic scheduler messes up the timestamps of the atlas network output. As it turns out, the c library functions asctime, and gmtime use a static copy of the tm struct to do the internal formatting. Our linux port of the SGTime class, incidentally, also stored it's master time stamp in this very same struct. Thus, formatting an arbitrary time value, would have the unwanted side effect of time travel. Usually, this would go unnoticed, because the actual time parameters would be updated before any damage could be done. But unwanted side effects, as in Brian's example could occur. On the MSVC port this appears to not have been a problem. Since that port used a copy of the tm struct to store it's master time stamps. Since the MSVC code also compiles cleanly on linux, it seems to be the way to go to use that approach. In addition, it also removes some conditional compile directives. I've only run a short test, but didn't see any undesirable side effects.

/**
|
|
* A class to calculate and manage a variety of time parameters.
|
|
* The SGTime class provides many real-world time values. It
|
|
* calculates current time in seconds, GMT time, local time zone,
|
|
* local offset in seconds from GMT, Julian date, and sidereal
|
|
* time. All of these operate with seconds as their granularity so
|
|
* this class is not intended for timing sub-second events. These
|
|
* values are intended as input to things like real world lighting
|
|
* calculations and real astronomical object placement.
|
|
|
|
* To properly use the SGTime class there are a couple of things to be
|
|
* aware of. After creating an instance of the class, you will need to
|
|
* periodically (i.e. before every frame) call the update()
|
|
* method. Optionally, if you care about updating time zone
|
|
* information based on your latitude and longitude, you can call the
|
|
* updateLocal() method periodically as your position changes by
|
|
* significant amounts.
