Basically one needs to know if there is a leap second about to occur at the end of the month and direction and if you are in a leap second. That can be encoded in two bits. 00 no leap at end of UTC month 01 in additive leap second at end of UTC month 10 subtractive leap at end of UTC month 11 additive leap at end of UTC month This allows you to detect when :59 (60th second) does not exist and to detect when you are in :60 (61st second) provided your system provides access to the information. When calculating deltas across the end of a UTC month you use the information from the earlier timestamp to compute the correction as there can be leap seconds in two consecutive months. > On 27 Nov 2018, at 1:54 am, Tony Finch <dot@dotat.at> wrote: > > Richard Gibson <richard.j.gibson@oracle.com> wrote: >> >> I am currently going through a similar exercise in another context, and the >> best current text there explicitly characterizes the non-obvious day-based >> accounting of POSIX time. > > In general I think it's best to just refer to POSIX on this matter, and > not try to restate the definition.
