Handling time in C++
While POSIX timers have their own merits, in C++ there are libraries that provide higher-level and more portable solutions for timing and time-related operations.
One good example of such a library is std::chrono. This is a C++ library that provides a set of utilities for working with time-related operations and measurements. It is part of the Standard Library and is included in the <chrono> header. The std::chrono library provides a flexible and type-safe mechanism for representing and manipulating time durations, time points, clocks, and time-related operations. By using std::chrono, you will benefit from the standardization, type safety, flexibility, and integration that comes with the C++ Standard Library. Some of the advantages of std::chrono compared to the traditional POSIX approach are as follows:
- Standardization:
std::chronois part of the C++ Standard Library, making it a cross-platform solution that works consistently across different...
