Thank you very much for sharing this Hartmut. I know nothing about Posix, does anyone care to write and share a Posix version?
The resolution is platform dependent because it currently uses the Windows high-resolution performance counters, which are based on the cycle rate of the processor clock. The attached implementation simply falls back to boost::timer when used on non-system platforms.
Great!
Sure, why not? Maybe you want have a look at the Boost.Threads library, which uses a similar technique internally.
Thanks, Christopher
