Detailed Description

A time_spec_t holds a seconds and a fractional seconds time value. Depending upon usage, the time_spec_t can represent absolute times, relative times, or time differences (between absolute times).

The time_spec_t provides clock-domain independent time storage, but can convert fractional seconds to/from clock-domain specific units.

The fractional seconds are stored as double precision floating point. This gives the fractional seconds enough precision to unambiguously specify a clock-tick/sample-count up to rates of several petahertz.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

time_spec_t() [1/3]

uhd::time_spec_t::time_spec_t

(

double

secs = 0

)

Create a time_spec_t from a real-valued seconds count.

Parameters

secs	the real-valued seconds count (default = 0)

time_spec_t() [2/3]

uhd::time_spec_t::time_spec_t	(	time_t	full_secs,
		double	frac_secs = 0
	)

Create a time_spec_t from whole and fractional seconds.

Parameters

full_secs	the whole/integer seconds count
frac_secs	the fractional seconds count (default = 0)

time_spec_t() [3/3]

uhd::time_spec_t::time_spec_t	(	time_t	full_secs,
		long	tick_count,
		double	tick_rate
	)

Create a time_spec_t from whole and fractional seconds. Translation from clock-domain specific units.

Parameters

full_secs	the whole/integer seconds count
tick_count	the fractional seconds tick count
tick_rate	the number of ticks per second

Member Function Documentation

get_frac_secs()

double uhd::time_spec_t::get_frac_secs

(

void

)

const

Get the fractional part of the time in seconds.

Returns

the fractional seconds

get_full_secs()

time_t uhd::time_spec_t::get_full_secs

(

void

)

const

Get the whole/integer part of the time in seconds.

Returns

the whole/integer seconds

get_real_secs()

double uhd::time_spec_t::get_real_secs

(

void

)

const

Get the time as a real-valued seconds count. Note: If this time_spec_t represents an absolute time, the precision of the fractional seconds may be lost.

Returns

the real-valued seconds

get_system_time()

static time_spec_t uhd::time_spec_t::get_system_time ( void  )

static

Get the system time in time_spec_t format. Uses the highest precision clock available.

Returns

the system time as a time_spec_t

get_tick_count()

long uhd::time_spec_t::get_tick_count

(

double

tick_rate

)

const

Convert the fractional seconds to clock ticks. Translation into clock-domain specific units.

Parameters

tick_rate

the number of ticks per second

Returns

the fractional seconds tick count

operator+=()

time_spec_t& uhd::time_spec_t::operator+=

(

const time_spec_t &

)

Implement addable interface.

operator-=()

time_spec_t& uhd::time_spec_t::operator-=

(

const time_spec_t &

)

Implement subtractable interface.
