The Clocks of C++: Knowing When (and Why) to Use Each One

За събитието

*The event will be in English.

This event is part of the user group C/C++.

Agenda:

>>> Introduction

Time in C++ is subtle. Misconceptions—like relying solely on system_clock — cause bugs. Let’s learn about the different clocks.

>>> The Building Blocks of <chrono>

Understand durations, time points, and clocks, plus safe conversions and simple examples.

>>> Meet the Standard Clocks

system_clock reflects real time and may jump; steady_clock is monotonic; high_resolution_clock is often just an alias. Learn to pick correctly.

>>> The Latest Clocks from C++20

A quick tour of utc_clock, tai_clock, file_clock, and modern timezone/calendar support.

>>> Testing and Custom Clocks

Why time breaks tests, how fake clocks help, and injecting clocks cleanly.

>>> Closing Thoughts

A brief recap and a practical clock-selection checklist.

>>> Q&A

The event is free, but pre-registration is required.
