27.11.8 Class leap_­second [time.zone.leap]

27.11.8.1 Overview [time.zone.leap.overview]

namespace std::chrono {
  class leap_second {
  public:
    leap_second(const leap_second&)            = default;
    leap_second& operator=(const leap_second&) = default;

    // unspecified additional constructors

    constexpr sys_seconds date() const noexcept;
    constexpr seconds value() const noexcept;
  };
}
Objects of type leap_­second representing the date and value of the leap second insertions are constructed and stored in the time zone database when initialized.
[Example
:
for (auto& l : get_tzdb().leap_seconds)
  if (l <= 2018y/March/17d)
    cout << l.date() << ": " << l.value() << '\n';

27.11.8.2 Member functions [time.zone.leap.members]

constexpr sys_seconds date() const noexcept;
Returns: The date and time at which the leap second was inserted.
constexpr seconds value() const noexcept;
Returns: +1s to indicate a positive leap second or -1s to indicate a negative leap second.
[Note
:
All leap seconds inserted up through 2019 were positive leap seconds.
