Possible Mac 2.4.2 Bug - 'Month 13 is out of bounds'

[AshleyF]

Dear All,

Starting this December 2017, an error message appears in Xcode even with just the source code listed below:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main(int, char const**)
{
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "SFML window");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

The error message in the Xcode project I called 'Timer Error' is as follows:

2017-12-07 17:56:57.696036+0000 Timer Error[13769:8570286] Month 13 is out of bounds

Any suggestions for fixing this error message will be most gratefully received!

Kind regards,

AshleyF

There is a bug in High Sierra that triggers in December (2017?), it's all over the internet by now (just google "Month 13 is out of bounds").

It also (for some people?) consumes RAM and CPU like crazy because there are dozens of these per second, the only fix for now seems to be to set your date back and disable updating it automatically.

It's bug in some Apple code and not related to SFML itself, SFML doesn't even deal with dates.
