[Windows] Cannot print dates before January 1, 1601
When trying to print a DateTime
before Janurary 1, 1601 as follows:
timePrint ISO8601_DateAndTime (DateTime
(Date 1600 December 31)
(TimeOfDay 23 59 59 999_999_999))
The following exception is thrown on a Windows system:
uncaught exception: IOException of type InvalidArgument
fileTimeToSystemTime: FileTimeToSystemTime: invalid argument (The parameter is incorrect.)
This seems to be caused by the underlying library https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/minwinbase/ns-minwinbase-filetime being used, which explicitly only supports dates after 1601-01-01.
Possible resolution: Seems like the only possible solution to this issue would be to use a different Windows-API for this functionality.
Sorry. I was going to comment and then I realised this is not relevant to your question.
