Hi,
According to the doc, the macros __DATE__ and __TIME__ should be initialized with the time when the binary has been compiled.
As much as __DATE__ is set correctly, ```TIME``` seems to be set with GMT-6 instead of my local time, which is CET.
Is there a way to set that correctly under vscode ?
code:
DateTime compiled(__DATE__, __TIME__);
printf("%u/%u/%02u %2u:%02u:%02u\n\r",dt.month(),dt.day(),dt.year(),(dt.hour()-6),dt.minute(),dt.second());
Thanks.

Please share a link.
here is the link:
__DATE__
This macro expands to a string constant that describes the date on which the preprocessor is being run. The string constant contains eleven characters and looks like "Feb 12 1996" . If the day of the month is less than 10, it is padded with a space on the left.
If GCC cannot determine the current date, it will emit a warning message (once per compilation) and __DATE__ will expand to "??? ?? ????" .
__TIME__
This macro expands to a string constant that describes the time at which the preprocessor is being run. The string constant contains eight characters and looks like "23:59:01" .
In my case, the compiler ran at 1pm but __TIME__ is set to 7am.

How about UNIX_TIME variable from PlatformIO Build System? You can use it with build_flags = -DTIME=$UNIX_TIME in platformio.ini.
Nice 
Thanks for the suggestion.
