easytime

Providing wrapper types for safely performing panic-free checked arithmetic on instants and durations.

This crate provides the following two data structures.

• easytime::Instant -- A wrapper type for std::time::Instant

• easytime::Duration -- A wrapper type for std::time::Duration

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
easytime = "0.2"

Compiler support: requires rustc 1.34+

Examples

use easytime::{Duration, Instant};
use std::time::Duration as StdDuration;

fn foo(secs: u64, nanos: u32, instant: Instant) -> Option<StdDuration> {
    let now = Instant::now();

    let dur = Duration::new(secs, nanos);
    (now - instant - dur).into_inner()
}

If you use std::time directly, you need to write as follows:

use std::time::{Duration, Instant};

fn foo(secs: u64, nanos: u32, instant: Instant) -> Option<Duration> {
    let now = Instant::now();

    let secs = Duration::from_secs(secs);
    let nanos = Duration::from_nanos(nanos as u64);

    let dur = secs.checked_add(nanos)?;
    now.checked_duration_since(instant)?.checked_sub(dur)
}

Optional features

• std (enabled by default)
  • Enable to use easytime::Instant.
  • If disabled this feature, easytime can be used in no_std environments.
