How to get current time and date in C++?

Question

Is there a cross-platform way to get the current date and time in C++?

Answer 1

You could use boost:

#include 
#include 
using namespace boost::gregorian;

int main()
{
    date d = day_clock::universal_day();
    std::cout << d.day() << " " << d.month() << " " << d.year();
}
