Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

The original version of virTimeLocalOffsetFromUTC() would fail for certain times of the day if daylight savings time was active. This could most easily be seen by uncommenting the TEST_LOCALOFFSET() cases that include a DST setting. After a lot of experimenting, I found that the way to solve it in almost all test cases is to set tm_isdst = -1 in the struct tm prior to calling mktime(). Once this is done, the correct offset is returned for all test cases at all times except the two hours just after 00:00:00 Jan 1 UTC - during that time, any timezone that is *behind* UTC, and that is supposed to always be in DST will not have DST accounted for in its offset. I believe that the code of virTimeLocalOffsetFromUTC() actually is correct for all cases, but the problem still encountered is due to our inability to come up with a TZ string that properly forces DST to *always* be active. Since a modfication of the (currently fixed) expected result data to account for this would necessarily use the same functions that we're trying to test, I've instead just made the test program conditionally bypass the problematic cases if the current date is either December 31 or January 1. This way we get maximum testing during 363 days of the year, but don't get false failures on Dec 31 and Jan 1. |

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
