Different format of __DATE__ macro
c, c++, macros
Solution
In C you could have a macro that generates a compound literal on the fly that has the order that you like, something like
#define FDATE (char const[]){ __DATE__[7], __DATE__[8], ..., ' ', ... , '\0' }
in all places where it matters your optimizer should be able to handle this efficiently.
Problem
C has a predefined macro `__DATE__`, that shows the date of the compiled source file . The date is displayed in the format "Mmm dd yyyy" . Is there any way to be formatted this date, using macros ? In this format "yyyy Mmm dd". Instead of being : Jul 19 2013 Should be : 2013 Jul 19
