I needed to do something similar in a program that involved sunset and
sunrise calculations. Depending on what you're doing and the information
you have, maybe the approach I used could work:
static time_t round_down_to_midnight(time_t when)
{
char buf[20];
struct tm *in;
struct tm out;
when -= when % 60;
in = localtime(&when);
if (in->tm_hour == 0 && in->tm_min == 0) {
return when;
}
sprintf(buf, "%d-%02d-%02d 00:00:00", in->tm_year + 1900, in->tm_mon + 1,
in->tm_mday);
strptime(buf, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", &out);
return mktime(&out);
}
The performance of this is not great, though.
