📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The clock property formatter now converts timestamps with localtime_r into a local std::tm buffer. It emits formatted local time only when conversion succeeds.

Changes

Clock formatting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Thread-safe timestamp conversion src/dbus/gconnman_clock.cpp	The formatter replaces std::localtime with localtime_r and conditionally emits the formatted timestamp.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 306ab

The change improves thread safety for timestamp conversion, but an out-of-range timestamp can still produce a malformed, unterminated time-update message. This is a bounded correctness issue that should be fixed before or alongside merging.

In `@src/dbus/gconnman_clock.cpp`:
- Around line 103-106: Update the timestamp formatting in ClockProperties::time_
so localtime_r failure still terminates the line with a newline and does not
leave an unmatched opening parenthesis; emit the opening parenthesis only on
successful conversion, or provide an explicit fallback for failure.
