why does mktime provide different result?

[GabrielTico]

I'm using exactly the same data to initialize 2 struct tm's, but the result given by mktime is different on each case.

Code section:

  start.tm_year = sYear;
  start.tm_mon = sMonth - 1;
  start.tm_mday = sDay;
  start.tm_hour = sHour;
  start.tm_min = sMinute;
  start.tm_sec = 0;
  start_t = mktime(&start);

  stop.tm_year = sYear;
  stop.tm_mon = sMonth - 1;
  stop.tm_mday = sDay;
  stop.tm_hour = sHour;
  stop.tm_min = sMinute;
  stop.tm_sec = 0;
  stop_t = mktime(&stop);

Result:

If I look in the manual, there is a field for daylight saving. If you did not initialize it, it can be anything. And the difference would be typical 1 hour.
