t2t_clock/
lib.rs

1//! Clocks that read the time: the OS's wall and monotonic clocks, the CPU's counter, and
2//! clocks set by hand.
3//!
4//! Each clock gives its reading through one verb, [`Clock::now`], and the reading's type says
5//! which timeline it came from: subtracting an [`Uptime`] from a [`Timestamp`] does not compile.
6//!
7//! | Clock                  | Reads          | Steps?  | For                                      |
8//! | ---------------------- | -------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------- |
9//! | `SystemClock`          | `Timestamp`    | yes     | a stamp other machines compare           |
10//! | `CoarseSystemClock`    | `Timestamp`    | yes     | whether a heartbeat or expiry is due     |
11//! | `TaiClock` (Linux)     | `TaiTimestamp` | never   | a stamp on the timescale PTP keeps       |
12//! | `MonotonicClock`       | `Uptime`       | never   | a deadline, a timeout                    |
13//! | `CoarseMonotonicClock` | `Uptime`       | never   | a far deadline, polled often             |
14//! | `RawMonotonicClock`    | `RawUptime`    | never   | a span no time service's slewing touches |
15//! | `BootClock`            | `BootUptime`   | never   | a timeout that runs through a suspension |
16//! | `ProcessCpuClock`      | `Timedelta`    | never   | the CPU time the process has used        |
17//! | `ThreadCpuClock`       | `Timedelta`    | never   | the CPU time the calling thread has used |
18//! | [`Counter`]            | [`Tickstamp`]  | never   | a stamp or a span in one instruction     |
19//! | [`ManualClock`]        | any point      | by hand | a test or a replay on one thread         |
20//! | [`AtomicManualClock`]  | any point      | by hand | a test or a replay shared across threads |
21//!
22//! The OS clocks need the `std` feature, on 64-bit Linux or macOS, and read the clock the
23//! table's name says on each; each clock's docs give the ids. [`Counter`] reads the virtual counter
24//! on `aarch64` and the time-stamp counter on `x86_64`, with or without `std`.
25//!
26//! # Examples
27//! ```
28//! use t2t_clock::{Clock, ManualClock};
29//! use t2t_core::{Timedelta, Timestamp};
30//!
31//! /// Whether the quote stamped at `stamp` is older than a second.
32//! fn is_stale<C: Clock<Reading = Timestamp>>(clock: &C, stamp: Timestamp) -> bool {
33//!     clock.now() - stamp > Timedelta::SECOND
34//! }
35//!
36//! let clock = ManualClock::new(Timestamp::from_secs(10));
37//! assert!(!is_stale(&clock, Timestamp::from_secs(10)), "fresh at capture");
38//! clock.advance(Timedelta::from_secs(2));
39//! assert!(is_stale(&clock, Timestamp::from_secs(10)), "stale two seconds on");
40//! ```
41//!
42//! # Crate Features
43//!
44//! None is on by default, and nothing reaches the operating system unless `std` is named; what
45//! `std` adds is on 64-bit Linux and macOS.
46//!
47//! | Feature | Adds                                                   |
48//! | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
49//! | `std`   | the OS clocks, and an `x86_64` counter's measured rate |
50//!
51//! [`Timestamp`]: t2t_core::Timestamp
52//! [`Uptime`]: t2t_core::Uptime
53//! [`Tickstamp`]: t2t_core::Tickstamp
