I'm using the steady_clock
for saving the time stamp of some messages. For debug purpose is usefull to have the calendar (or something similar).
For other clocks ther's the static function to_time_t
, but on GCC (MinGW 4.8.0) this function is not present.
Now i print something like:
Timestamp: 26735259098242
For timestamp i need a steady_clock so I cannot use system_clock
or others.
Edit
The previous print is given from the time_since_epoch().count
()

Assuming you need the steady behavior for internal calculations, and not for display, here's a function you can use to convert to
time_t
for display.If you need steady behavior for logging, you'd want to get one
( system_clock::now(), steady_clock::now() )
pair at startup and use that forever after.
