Detailed Description

A simple stop watch.

This class reports the elapsed real time, i.e. time elapsed after Timer::reset(). It does not measure the time spent computing, i.e. time spend in concurrent threads is not added up while time measurements include the time elapsed while sleeping.

The class is basically a wrapper around std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now().

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Timer()

Dune::Timer::Timer ( bool startImmediately = true )

inlinenoexcept

A new timer, create and reset.

Parameters

startImmediately

If true (default) the timer starts counting immediately

elapsed()

double Dune::Timer::elapsed ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

lastElapsed()

double Dune::Timer::lastElapsed ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

reset()

void Dune::Timer::reset ( )

inlinenoexcept
