Yes, but the documentation should receive another update.
Many thanks. Please, could you point to other documentation improvements?
Hi Vicente, here are some more items. I'm sure there's more, but I'm in a bit of a hurry and did not go through the document line by line: http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/chrono/libs/chrono/doc/html/boost_chr... *) "the extraction of read (wall clock) time," <= real? CPU time? *) "|process_real_cpu_clock| <http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/chrono/libs/chrono/doc/html/boost_chrono/reference/other_clocks.html#boost_chrono.reference.other_clocks.process_cpu_clocks_hpp.process_real_cpu_clock>, captures real (wall clock) CPU times." <= is this really CPU time? Isn't it rather real process time? *) "A tuple-like class __process_cpuclock_, that" <= The link is broken. http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/chrono/libs/chrono/doc/html/boost_chr... I'd prefer to see the same sequence of duration, timepoint, clocks, other clocks etc. Currently every chapter is different: - Description: duration, time_point, clocks, other clocks, io - Tutorial: duration, clocks, time_point, io - Examples: time_point, duration, clocks, conversions, reporting - Reference: duration, time_point, clocks, io, other clocks Personally, I like Description and Reference best. http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/chrono/libs/chrono/doc/html/boost_chr... Taking a look at the table of contents for this section shows that duration is covered in much detail, time_point, a bit less. Clock and IO seem to be rather neglected. Given the sheer number of different clocks available in Chrono, this seems unbalanced. And taking a closer look at the "Clocks" section shows: The tutorial explains the interface of a clock, but not the clocks themselves. What is a system clock, what's so cool about a monotonic_clock, what distinguishes a high_precision_clock (another damaged link here). In order to remove confusion about wall time and CPU time, a small example using different clocks might be useful (if it is there, I missed it). I would like to see this as part of the tutorial. http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/chrono/libs/chrono/doc/html/boost_chr... - Just stumbled over this: simaulation - There is no thread_clock mentioned here, even though there is a thread interface demonstration program.
