Detailed Description

Represents a time value.

gf::Time encapsulates a time value in a flexible way. It allows to define a time value either as a number of seconds, milliseconds or microseconds. It also works the other way round: you can read a time value as either a number of seconds, milliseconds or microseconds.

By using such a flexible interface, the API doesn't impose any fixed type or resolution for time values, and let the user choose its own favorite representation.

Since they represent a time span and not an absolute time value, times can also be negative.

gf::Time is a thin wrapper around C++11 std::chrono::steady_clock.

Usage example:

gf::Time t1 = gf::seconds(0.1f);
int32_t milli = t1.asMilliseconds(); // 100
gf::Time t2 = gf::milliseconds(30);
int64_t micro = t2.asMicroseconds(); // 30000
gf::Time t3 = gf::microseconds(-800000);
float sec = t3.asSeconds(); // -0.8
