libstdc++: Fix std::chrono::tzdb to work with vanguard format
I found some issues in the std::chrono::tzdb parser by testing the
tzdata "vanguard" format, which uses new features that aren't enabled in
the "main" and "rearguard" data formats.
Since 2024a the keyword "minimum" is no longer valid for the FROM and TO
fields in a Rule line, which means that "m" is now a valid abbreviation
for "maximum". Previously we expected either "mi" or "ma". For backwards
compatibility, a FROM field beginning with "mi" is still supported and
is treated as 1900. The "maximum" keyword is only allowed in TO now,
because it makes no sense in FROM. To support these changes the
minmax_year and minmax_year2 classes for parsing FROM and TO are
replaced with a single years_from_to class that reads both fields.
The vanguard format makes use of %z in Zone FORMAT fields, which caused
an exception to be thrown from ZoneInfo::set_abbrev because no % or /
characters were expected when a Zone doesn't use a named Rule. The
ZoneInfo::to(sys_info&) function now uses format_abbrev_str to replace
any %z with the current offset. Although format_abbrev_str also checks
for %s and STD/DST formats, those only make sense when a named Rule is
in effect, so won't occur when ZoneInfo::to(sys_info&) is used.
This change also implements a feature that has always been missing from
time_zone::_M_get_sys_info: finding the Rule that is active before the
specified time point, so that we can correctly handle %s in the FORMAT
for the first new sys_info that gets created. This requires implementing
a poorly documented feature of zic, to get the LETTERS field from a
later transition, as described at
https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2024-April/058891.html
In order for this to work we need to be able to distinguish an empty
letters field (as used by CE%sT where the variable part is either empty
or "S") from "the letters field is not known for this transition". The
tzdata file uses "-" for an empty letters field, which libstdc++ was
previously replacing with "" when the Rule was parsed. Instead, we now
preserve the "-" in the Rule object, so that "" can be used for the case
where we don't know the letters (and so need to decide it).
libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
* src/c++20/tzdb.cc (minmax_year, minmax_year2): Remove.
(years_from_to): New class replacing minmax_year and
minmax_year2.
(format_abbrev_str, select_std_or_dst_abbrev): Move earlier in
the file. Handle "-" for letters.
(ZoneInfo::to): Use format_abbrev_str to expand %z.
(ZoneInfo::set_abbrev): Remove exception. Change parameter from
reference to value.
(operator>>(istream&, Rule&)): Do not clear letters when it
contains "-".
(time_zone::_M_get_sys_info): Add missing logic to find the Rule
in effect before the time point.
* testsuite/std/time/tzdb/1.cc: Adjust for vanguard format using
"GMT" as the Zone name, not as a Link to "Etc/GMT".
* testsuite/std/time/time_zone/sys_info_abbrev.cc: New test.
