Something wrong with StrToTime

[Forex Trader]

StrToTime converts string into an Integer for use with Date/Time.

ie:
int x = StrToTime("12:00:00");
x will become the 32 bit integer relative to 1970.01.01 00:00:00

It all looks good until computer's Date is no longer same with GMT+0's Date.

ie, if my computer's date is already Mar 21 but GMT+0 is still Mar 20, then StrToTime will convert the string to "Mar 20 12:00:00" as against the intended "Mar 21 12:00:00".

Why i consider this a bug?
Simple, because it converts the string into localtime, and therefore, I expect that the date component should also be in localtime.

Here is a small code I wrote:

   int    x0 = TimeLocal();
   string x1 = TimeToStr(x0,TIME_SECONDS);
   int    x2 = StrToTime(x1);
   Comment(TimeToStr(x0), "\n", x1, "\n", TimeToStr(x2));

and here is the result I got:
2007.03.21 7:58
7:58:32
2007.03.20 7:58

The last one should be 2007.03.21 7:58 also..
This only occurs if there is a difference in GMT+0 date and Local time's Date.


BTW. My computer is TimeZone +8; so by now, GMT+0 is already Mar 21 and the bug no longer there.. But if your TimeZone is still Mar 20, you will defintiely see this bug.
