quicklog-clock 0.1.1

Clock dictates how timestamps are done in the Quicklog. The idea is to use TSC time, storing a start TSC time, and a start System time.

We store TSC time when logging is done in Quicklog, only getting the System time on the writer thread that is performance sensitive, as we would be able to decode the true System time, given the delta between Instant of generating the log line and Instant of the start time to get a Duration, which can be added to start System time to give a final DateTime<Utc>.

Here's an example of how things are done in time taking.

use std::thread;
use quicklog_clock::{Clock, quanta::QuantaClock};

// initialize the clock, impls `Clock` trait
let clock = QuantaClock::new();

let some_log_line_instant = clock.get_instant();
// add log_line onto some queue

// simulate flush thread
let flush_thread = thread::spawn(move || {
// some code to flush log lines
let actual_system_time = clock.compute_system_time_from_instant(some_log_line_instant);
});

# flush_thread.join();
