Description

date_duration public construct/copy/destruct

  1. explicit date_duration(duration_rep day_count);
    Construct from a day count.
  2. date_duration(special_values sv);

    construct from special_values - only works when instantiated with duration_traits_adapted

date_duration public member functions

  1. BOOST_CXX14_CONSTEXPR duration_rep get_rep() const;
    returns days_ as it's instantiated type - used for streaming
  2. BOOST_CXX14_CONSTEXPR special_values as_special() const;
  3. BOOST_CXX14_CONSTEXPR bool is_special() const;
  4. BOOST_CXX14_CONSTEXPR duration_rep_type days() const;
    returns days as value, not object.
  5. BOOST_CXX14_CONSTEXPR bool operator==(const date_duration & rhs) const;
    Equality.
  6. BOOST_CXX14_CONSTEXPR bool operator<(const date_duration & rhs) const;
    Less.
  7. BOOST_CXX14_CONSTEXPR date_duration & operator-=(const date_duration & rhs);
    Subtract another duration – result is signed.
  8. BOOST_CXX14_CONSTEXPR date_duration & operator+=(const date_duration & rhs);
    Add a duration – result is signed.
  9. BOOST_CXX14_CONSTEXPR date_duration operator-() const;
    unary- Allows for dd = -date_duration(2); -> dd == -2
  10. BOOST_CXX14_CONSTEXPR date_duration & operator/=(int divisor);
    Division operations on a duration with an integer.
  11. BOOST_CXX14_CONSTEXPR bool is_negative() const;
    return sign information

date_duration public static functions

  1. static BOOST_CXX14_CONSTEXPR date_duration unit();
    Returns the smallest duration – used by to calculate 'end'.
