Struct Ticks 

pub struct Ticks(/* private fields */);

A hardware counter reading: whatever a monotonic tick source produced, at that source’s own frequency.

Ticks, not nanoseconds. Deriving nanoseconds costs a multiply and a divide per read — see crate::anchor::ToUnixNanos for where that conversion belongs (the edge, once per anchor/export), never on the hot path where a caller just wants now_ticks - then_ticks. A counter’s rate is whatever the hardware runs at: 24 MHz for the ARM generic timer (CNTVCT_EL0), ~1 GHz nominal for RDTSC, 100 MHz for a PTP hardware clock, 1000 Hz for prime’s timer wheel (see prime::core::timer::Clock, the sibling tick source this type is deliberately compatible with).

#[repr(transparent)] over u64, matching proxima_protocols::Instant/Duration’s convention for tier-3 value types.

Implementations

impl Ticks

pub const ZERO: Self

The zero tick.

pub const fn from_raw(raw: u64) -> Self

Construct from a raw tick count. Hardware source impls use this; the value’s meaning (which counter, which frequency) travels separately, alongside the source that produced it.

pub const fn as_raw(self) -> u64

The raw tick count.

pub const fn wrapping_sub(self, earlier: Self) -> u64

self - earlier, wrapping on counter rollover (a free-running hardware counter wraps at u64::MAX; the elapsed count is still correct via modular arithmetic as long as fewer than u64::MAX ticks elapsed between the two reads, true for any counter this side of the heat death of the universe).

Trait Implementations
