In this series, we’ve already talked about the main pillars behind <chrono>, the most widely used clocks, and even inter-clock conversions. Those clocks — system_clock, steady_clock, and hig...

It’s the end of another year, and as I’ve done many times before, I’m sharing a personal reflection on how the year went: what I achieved, where I fell short, and what I’m planning for the next one...

By now in this series, we’ve spent time looking at the major standard clocks and their behavior. We’ve talked about wall-clock time, monotonic clocks, and the myths around “high resolution”. Today,...

This year I had the chance to attend three conferences onsite, plus one online, and even a meetup in my hometown, Budapest. Depending on who you ask, maybe it’s not a lot — I know some speakers do ...

If there’s one clock in <chrono> that causes the most confusion, it’s std::chrono::high_resolution_clock. The name sounds too tempting — who wouldn’t want “the highest resolution”? But like m...

In the previous articles, we explored what clocks are in general and took a closer look at std::chrono::system_clock, the one that represents the wall-clock or calendar time. Now let’s move to anot...

Last week, we started a series on clocks, by introducing the <chrono> library in general. We saw the three pillars of the library: time_points, durations and clocks from a birds-eye view. As ...

Let’s start a new series! A few months ago, I began working on tasks related to instrumentation and logging, and I had to deal with timestamps, different clock types, and more. Some parts felt a b...

What a year I had! One more conference, one more trip report! I had the chance to go to Meeting C++ and give not just one but two talks! I remember that last year I said that Berlin in November is...

After conferences, I often write a couple of short articles about features or techniques I learned about, even if I don’t always find them particularly useful in my own work. At a recent talk, And...
