Description

This class is the primary interface for programming with greogorian dates. The is a lightweight type that can be freely passed by value. All comparison operators are supported.

date construct/copy/destruct

  1. date();

    Default constructor constructs with not_a_date_time. 

  2. date(year_type y, month_type m, day_type d);

    Main constructor with year, month, day. 

  3. date(const ymd_type & ymd);

    Constructor from a ymd_type structure. 

  4. date(const date_int_type & rhs);

    Needed copy constructor. 

  5. date(date_rep_type rhs);

    Needed copy constructor. 

  6. date(special_values sv);

    Constructor for infinities, not a date, max and min date.
