just::thread Complete C++ Standard Thread Library by Just Software Solutions

The std::chrono::system_clock class provides a means of obtaining the current wall-clock time from the system-wide real-time clock. The current time can be obtained by calling std::chrono::system_clock::now(). Instances of std::chrono::system_clock::time_point can be converted to and from time_t with the std::chrono::system_clock::to_time_t() and std::chrono::system_clock::from_time_t() functions. They system clock is not steady, so a subsequent call to std::chrono::system_clock::now() may return an earlier time than a previous call (e.g. if the operating system clock is manually adjusted, or synchronized with an external clock). std::chrono::system_clock::to_time_point() is the old name for std::chrono::system_clock::from_time_t(), and is provided for backwards compatibility only. It will be removed in some future release.
