The clock gps_clock measures
seconds since the first Sunday of January, 1980 00:00:00 UTC[.](#overview-1.sentence-1)

Leap seconds are not inserted into GPS[.](#overview-1.sentence-2)

Therefore every time a leap second is inserted into UTC,
UTC shifts another second with respect to GPS[.](#overview-1.sentence-3)

Aside from the offset from 1958y/January/1 to 1980y/January/Sunday[1],
GPS is behind TAI by 19s due to the 10s offset between 1958 and 1970
and the additional 9 leap seconds inserted between 1970 and 1980[.](#overview-1.sentence-4)

gps_clock is not a [*Cpp17TrivialClock*](time.clock.req#:Cpp17TrivialClock "30.3 Cpp17Clock requirements [time.clock.req]") unless the implementation can guarantee thatgps_clock​::​now() does not propagate an exception[.](#overview-2.sentence-1)

[*Note [1](#overview-note-1)*:

noexcept(from_utc(utc_clock​::​now())) is false[.](#overview-2.sentence-2)

*Effects*: Attempts to parse the input stream is into the gps_time tp using
the format flags given in the NTCTS fmt as specified in [[time.parse]](time.parse "30.13 Parsing")[.](#nonmembers-3.sentence-1)

If the parse fails to decode a valid date,is.setstate(ios_base​::​failbit) is called andtp is not modified[.](#nonmembers-3.sentence-2)

If %Z is used and successfully parsed,
that value will be assigned to *abbrev if abbrev is non-null[.](#nonmembers-3.sentence-3)

If %z (or a modified variant) is used and successfully parsed,
that value will be assigned to *offset if offset is non-null[.](#nonmembers-3.sentence-4)

Additionally, the parsed offset will be subtracted from
the successfully parsed timestamp prior to assigning that difference to tp[.](#nonmembers-3.sentence-5)
