The Clock requirements describe a bundle consisting of a std::chrono::duration
, a std::chrono::time_point
, and a function now()
to get the current time_point. The origin of the clock's time_point is referred to as the clock's epoch.
C1
and C2
denote clock types. t1
and t2
are values returned by C1::now()
where the call returning t1
happens before the call returning t2
and both of these calls occur before C1::time_point::max()
.
Expression | Return type | Operational semantics |
---|---|---|
C1::rep | An arithmetic type or a class emulating an arithmetic type | The representation type of C1::duration . |
C1::period | A specialization of std::ratio | The tick period of the clock in seconds. |
C1::duration |
std::chrono::duration<C1::rep, C1::period> | The duration type of the clock. |
C1::time_point |
std::chrono::time_point<C1> or std::chrono::time_point<C2, C1::duration> | The std::chrono::time_point type of the clock. C1 and C2 shall refer to the same epoch. |
C1::is_steady |
const bool |
true if t1 <= t2 is always true and the time between clock ticks is constant, otherwise false |
C1::now() |
C1::time_point | Returns a time_point object representing the current point in time. |
