Std::Time

Sleeping, monotonic timing, and wall-clock time.

Module: Std::Time

import Std::Time;
import Std::Io::PrintLine;

func Main() -> int {
    let start = Time::TickMs();
    Time::SleepMs(50u32);
    PrintLine(Time::TickMs() - start);   // ~50
    return 0;
}

WARNING

On macOS, Std::Time is currently a no-op stub: the sleep functions do nothing, TickMs returns 0, and LocalTime/UtcTime return a zeroed SystemTime. The clock thunks are not yet wired into the compiler.
