Detailed Description

This module defines utilities that make working with the <chrono> header easier and adds new tools for it as well.

One of the first things the chrono module is useful for is the creation of std::chrono::durations using the new C++11 user defined literal feature. The table below specifies the literals and their return value.

Literal	Result
_h	hours
_min	minutes
_s	seconds
_ms	milliseconds
_us	microseconds
_ns	nanoseconds

All of these have unsigned long long and long double overloads. They reside in <gears/chrono/literals.hpp>. Example usage can be found below.

#include <gears/chrono/literals.hpp>
#include <thread>
#include <iostream>

// this line is required
using namespace gears::chrono::literals;

void f() {
    std::this_thread::sleep_for(1.4_s); // 1.4 seconds
}

int main() {
    std::cout << "Going to sleep for 1.4 seconds...";
    f();
    std::cout << "\nDone!";
}
