Utilities library

Relational operators (deprecated in C++20)
 
 
 
Defined in header <chrono>
constexpr std::chrono::microseconds
    operator""us( unsigned long long us );
(1) (since C++14)
constexpr std::chrono::duration</*unspecified*/, std::micro>
    operator""us( long double us );
(2) (since C++14)

Forms a std::chrono::duration literal representing microseconds.

1) Integer literal, returns exactly std::chrono::microseconds(us).
2) Floating-point literal, returns a floating-point duration equivalent to std::chrono::microseconds.

Contents

[edit] Parameters

us - the number of microseconds

[edit] Return value

The std::chrono::duration literal.

[edit] Possible implementation

constexpr std::chrono::microseconds operator""us(unsigned long long us)
{
    return std::chrono::microseconds(us);
}
constexpr std::chrono::duration<long double, std::micro> operator""us(long double us)
{
    return std::chrono::duration<long double, std::micro>(us);
}

[edit] Notes

This operator is declared in the namespace std::literals::chrono_literals, where both literals and chrono_literals are inline namespaces. Access to this operator can be gained with:

  • using namespace std::literals,
  • using namespace std::chrono_literals, or
  • using namespace std::literals::chrono_literals.

In addition, within the namespace std::chrono, the directive using namespace literals::chrono_literals; is provided by the standard library, so that if a programmer uses using namespace std::chrono; to gain access to the classes in the chrono library, the corresponding literal operators become visible as well.

[edit] Example

#include <chrono>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    using namespace std::chrono_literals;
    auto d1 = 250us;
    std::chrono::microseconds d2 = 1ms;
    std::cout << d1 << " = " << d1.count() << " microseconds\n"
              << 1ms << " = " << d2.count() << " microseconds\n";
}

Output:

250us = 250 microseconds
1ms = 1000 microseconds
