29.11.8 Class leap_second [time.zone.leap]

29.11.8.1 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 1: for (auto& l : get_tzdb().leap_seconds) if (l <= 2018y/March/17d) cout << l.date() << ": " << l.value() << '\n';

29.11.8.2 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 1: 
All leap seconds inserted up through 2022 were positive leap seconds.
