static VALUE
date_s__parse(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE klass)
{
return date_s__parse_internal(argc, argv, klass);
}
Parses the given representation of date and time, and returns a hash of parsed elements.
This method **does not** function as a validator. If the input string does not match valid formats strictly, you may get a cryptic result. Should consider to use Date._strptime or DateTime._strptime instead of this method as possible.
If the optional second argument is true and the detected year is in the range “00” to “99”, considers the year a 2-digit form and makes it full.
Example
Date._parse('2001-02-03') #=> {:year=>2001, :mon=>2, :mday=>3}
Raise an ArgumentError when the string length is longer than limit. You can stop this check by passing ‘limit: nil`, but note that it may take a long time to parse.
