Adjust Time to Daylight Saving for localtime C++

Question

I have a piece of optimized function to get the GMT time. I would like to convert it to local time. I would want to call localtime and gmtime function only once to adjust the time to localtime as calling localtime and gmtime multiple times would defeat the purpose of using the optimized function. However, my problem is how could I adjust my localtime when there is daylight saving? Any ideas on that?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I've never noticed any performance issues with fetching the time. Is this a problem in your code?

In any case, the simplest solution is to compute an offset for UTC-to-local, and recompute it if the hour is different to when the offset was computed.
