5 // Time represents an absolute point in coordinated universal time (UTC),
6 // internally represented as microseconds (s/1,000,000) since the Windows epoch
7 // (1601-01-01 00:00:00 UTC). System-dependent clock interface routines are
8 // defined in time_PLATFORM.cc. Note that values for Time may skew and jump
9 // around as the operating system makes adjustments to synchronize (e.g., with
10 // NTP servers). Thus, client code that uses the Time class must account for
11 // this.
13 // TimeDelta represents a duration of time, internally represented in
14 // microseconds.
16 // TimeTicks, ThreadTicks, and TraceTicks represent an abstract time that is
17 // most of the time incrementing, for use in measuring time durations.
18 // Internally, they are represented in microseconds. They can not be converted
19 // to a human-readable time, but are guaranteed not to decrease (unlike the Time
20 // class). Note that TimeTicks may "stand still" (e.g., if the computer is
21 // suspended), and ThreadTicks will "stand still" whenever the thread has been
22 // de-scheduled by the operating system.
24 // All time classes are copyable, assignable, and occupy 64-bits per
25 // instance. Thus, they can be efficiently passed by-value (as opposed to
26 // by-reference).
28 // Definitions of operator<< are provided to make these types work with
29 // DCHECK_EQ() and other log macros. For human-readable formatting, see
30 // "base/i18n/time_formatting.h".
32 // So many choices! Which time class should you use? Examples:
34 // Time: Interpreting the wall-clock time provided by a remote
35 // system. Detecting whether cached resources have
36 // expired. Providing the user with a display of the current date
37 // and time. Determining the amount of time between events across
38 // re-boots of the machine.
40 // TimeTicks: Tracking the amount of time a task runs. Executing delayed
41 // tasks at the right time. Computing presentation timestamps.
42 // Synchronizing audio and video using TimeTicks as a common
43 // reference clock (lip-sync). Measuring network round-trip
44 // latency.
46 // ThreadTicks: Benchmarking how long the current thread has been doing actual
47 // work.
49 // TraceTicks: This is only meant to be used by the event tracing
50 // infrastructure, and by outside code modules in special
51 // circumstances. Please be sure to consult a
52 // base/trace_event/OWNER before committing any new code that
53 // uses this.
