I have 2 solutions, the first is working with a function that implements gmtime_r so that this solution will don't use any standard functions. The second solution is using the standard function gmtime_r.
1. First solution: Own implementation of gmtime_r (01-Jan-1601 to 31-Dec-9999):
It will work for dates between 01-Jan-1601 and 31-Dec-9999. I've implemented a fromOADate function which uses the SecondsSinceEpochToDateTime function from this answer on SO wich converts seconds before or after 01-Jan-1970 to a tm structure but works only from 01-Jan-1601 on.
I changed the function from that answer to work also with 32 bit by adding one ULL suffix. That requires that the long long types are 64 bit wide, if that's not the case this solution will not work.
If you need dates before year 1601 you could change the SecondsSinceEpochToDateTime as it is well documentated.
To test different values this online conversion is very nice which also supports unix timestamp and the OADate type.
Full working code and example on ideone:

#include <ctime>
#include <cstring>
struct tm* SecondsSinceEpochToDateTime(struct tm* pTm, uint64_t SecondsSinceEpoch)

unsigned int year, leap;
unsigned int yday, hour, min;
unsigned int month, mday, wday;

{
{0,31,59,90,120,151,181,212,243,273,304,334,365}, // 365 days, non-leap
{0,31,60,91,121,152,182,213,244,274,305,335,366} // 366 days, leap

2. Second solution: Using gmtime_r (01-Jan-1970 to 19-Jan-2038/31-Dec-9999 (32/64 bit)):
As already said this solution has not that wide range as the variant from above but just uses a standard function (full working example at ideone):
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
struct tm* fromOADate(struct tm* p_Tm, double p_OADate)
{
static const int64_t OA_UnixTimestamp = -2209161600; /* 30-Dec-1899 */
if (!( 25569 <= p_OADate /* 01-Jan-1970 00:00:00 */
&& p_OADate <= 2958465)) /* 31-Dec-9999 00:00:00 */
{
throw std::string("OADate must be between 25569 and 2958465!");
}
time_t OADatePassedDays = p_OADate;
double OADateDayTime = p_OADate - OADatePassedDays;
time_t OADateSeconds = OA_UnixTimestamp
+ OADatePassedDays * 24LL * 3600LL
+ OADateDayTime * 24.0 * 3600.0;
/* date was greater than 19-Jan-2038 and build is 32 bit */
if (0 > OADateSeconds)
{
throw std::string("OADate must be between 25569 and 50424.134803241!");
}
return gmtime_r(&OADateSeconds, p_Tm);
}
int main()
{
struct tm timeVal;
std::cout << asctime(fromOADate(&timeVal, 25569)); /* 01-Jan-1970 00:00:00 */
std::cout << asctime(fromOADate(&timeVal, 50424.134803241)); /* 19-Jan-2038 03:14:07 */
return 0;
}
