<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<br>
<br>
We're considering using std::chrono more heavily in lldb. However, A quick search of the llvm, clang, and lld codebases shos almost zero usage of chrono. I wanted to see if this was for technical reasons (eg some compiler doesn't support it well) or simply
because nobody has needed it yet. If it's the former then I'd like to be aware of the issues so we don't fall into any traps.<br>
<br>
If it's the latter, then we're good to go. Would it be worth adding any chrono helper functions to llvm/Support? On the one hand, it seems generally useful. But on the other hand, if nobody's using it yet, maybe it's not generally useful enough.<br>
<br>
Also, are there any chrono experts around who would be willing to review some patches?<o:p></o:p></p>
