Enum Instant 

#[repr(C, u8)]
pub enum Instant {
    System(InstantPtr),
    Tick(SystemTick),
}

A point in time, either from the system clock or a tick counter.

Use Instant::System on platforms with std, Instant::Tick on embedded/no_std.

Variants

System(InstantPtr)

System time from std::time::Instant (requires “std” feature)

Tick(SystemTick)

Tick-based time for embedded systems without a real-time clock

Implementations

impl Instant

pub fn now() -> Self

Returns the current system time.

On systems with std, this uses std::time::Instant::now(). On no_std systems, this returns a zero tick.

pub fn linear_interpolate(&self, start: Self, end: Self) -> f32

Returns a number from 0.0 to 1.0 indicating the current linear interpolation value between (start, end)

pub fn add_optional_duration(&self, duration: Option<&Duration>) -> Self

Adds a duration to the instant, does nothing in undefined cases (i.e. trying to add a Duration::Tick to an Instant::System).

Mismatched kinds (System instant + Tick duration, or vice versa) saturate to self unchanged instead of panicking — a stray mismatch must never crash the event loop.

pub fn into_std_instant(self) -> StdInstant

Converts to std::time::Instant (panics if Tick variant).

pub fn duration_since(&self, earlier: &Self) -> Duration

Calculates the duration since an earlier point in time.

Saturates to a zero duration in the degenerate cases (earlier is actually later than self, or the two instants are of mismatched kinds) instead of panicking — this runs on the hot event-loop path and must not crash.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Instant

fn clone(&self) -> Instant

Returns a duplicate of the value.
