Subject: [ruby-core:42448] [ruby-trunk - Bug #5988][Open] Time class interprets "2012-02-30" as "2012-03-01"


Issue #5988 has been reported by Dylan Markow.

----------------------------------------
Bug #5988: Time class interprets "2012-02-30" as "2012-03-01"
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5988

Status: Open

Target version: 
ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0dev (2012-02-09 trunk 34499) [x86_64-darwin11.3.0]


=begin
The time class seems to accept any number from 1-31 as a valid day for any month of the year, even if the month has less than 31 days. If the day exceeds the number of days, it just spills over into the following month; "2012-02-30" become "2012-03-01", "2012-04-31" becomes "2012-05-01", and so on. It's not until you try 32 as a day number that you get the expected Argument Error. This happens with Time.new, Time.parse, Time.local, Time.utc, etc.
