Description Graham 2011-08-07 11:59:34 UTC 
The struct tm definition in module std.c.linux.linux line 276 is 11 integers (44 bytes)  in size. The gmtime_r() function in the x86_64 standard C library fills in 56 bytes of data. There appears to be a mismatch in the structure definitions.

Comment 1 RazvanN 2017-10-03 07:10:38 UTC 
The code in the initial bug report has been moved to druntime in src/core/stdc/time.d and it seems to implement the tm struct according to the one in glibc. After looking into the gtime_r function in glibc it looks like it does initialize the tm struct values, but it uses some other internal variables, so maybe it does fill 56 bytes of data, but not all are belonging to the tm struct.

Closing as invalid. Reopen if I am missing something.
