SetSysTime() or SetUtcTime() [message #40214]

Hello all

In Windows:

- GetSysTime(): Gets local time
- GetUtcTime(): Gets UTC time

However SetSysTime() sets the UTC time as it uses SetSystemTime(): See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms72 4942%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

This may produce errors.

Best regards

I believe it should rather be SetLocalTime, right?

Frankly, I do not thing it is such a good idea to have this in U++, as setting time requires admin rights, but if we do, I agree that it should be fixed...

Hello Mirek

To follow the GetXXXTime() functions, SetSysTime() would have to be SetUtcTime(). Isn't it?

Will, for starters I have changed to SetLocalTime, because I am not sure what time posix version (clock_settimt) in fact uses - documentation seems to be silent about it....
