    Description

      QTimeZone::abbreviation() returns the abbreviated timezone, e.g. "EST" for a given region and local time.

      On some time zones it works, but on others it crashes with the error:
      ASSERT failure in QList<T>::at: "index out of range", file ../../include/QtCore/../../src/corelib/tools/qlist.h, line 472

      The "out of range" error suggests that the abbreviation data base is incomplete, though I haven't located exactly which code line triggers it.

      The following sample code for a main.cpp reproduces the error (in America/Curacao, but other zones also trigger it):

      #include <QTimeZone>
      #include <iostream>
      
      
      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
          QTimeZone qtz( QTimeZone::systemTimeZoneId() );
      
          QDateTime timeNow( QDateTime::currentDateTime() );
      
          std::cout << "1) Test system time zone" << std::endl;
          std::cout << "time zone id=" << qtz.id().data() << std::endl;
          std::cout << "display name=" << qtz.displayName(timeNow).toStdString() << std::endl;
          std::cout << "abbreviation=" << qtz.abbreviation(timeNow).toStdString() << std::endl;
      
          QList<QByteArray> tzonelist( QTimeZone::availableTimeZoneIds() );
      
          // test Australia/Sydney: expect successful abbreviation=EST
          std::cout << std::endl << "2) Test Sydney" << std::endl;
          int iSydney=312;
          QTimeZone qtzSydney( tzonelist.at(iSydney) );
          std::cout << "time zone id=" << qtzSydney.id().data() << std::endl;
          std::cout << "display name=" << qtzSydney.displayName(timeNow).toStdString() << std::endl;
          std::cout << "abbreviation=" << qtzSydney.abbreviation(timeNow).toStdString() << std::endl;
      
          // test America/Curacao: expect "index out of range" error
          std::cout << std::endl << "3) Test Curacao" << std::endl;
          int iCuracao=92;
          QTimeZone qtzCuracao( tzonelist.at(iCuracao) );
          std::cout << "time zone id=" << qtzCuracao.id().data() << std::endl;
          std::cout << "display name=" << qtzCuracao.displayName(timeNow).toStdString() << std::endl;
          std::cout << "abbreviation=" << qtzCuracao.abbreviation(timeNow).toStdString() << std::endl;
      
          return 0;
      }
