This example does not work: 

void show(const std::string& time_str)
{
    const time_point& current_time = time_point::from_iso_string(time_str);
    print(current_time.elapsed._count);
}

time_point::from_iso_string was cut out from eos time_point. According to this issue one should not parse strings in smart contract at all. As instead, binary data should be used and passed to parameters for the sake of performance.

  • You should probably include this info as part of the question rather than an answer.

  • This is answering my own question, as it states, that one should not do such thing per devs recommendation.

    If you really really need to do this I suggest you copy-paste old from_iso_string implementation from the Git history and use it as a private method in your code.
