fugit

fugit provides a comprehensive library of Duration and Instant for the handling of time in embedded systems, doing all it can at compile time.

This library is a heavily inspired of std::chrono's Duration from C++ which does all it can at compile time.

Aims

  • no_std library with goals of user-friendliness and performance first
    • All methods are const fn that can be (i.e. non-trait methods)
    • Use no traits, concrete types all the way for maximum const-ification
    • Operations are supported between different bases and backing storages instead of implementing custom traits
    • All constants needed for comparing or changing timebase are guaranteed compile time generated
  • Support for both u32 and u64 backing storage with efficient instruction lowering on MCUs
    • On Cortex-M3 and up: no soft-impls pulled in for both u32 and u64 except when changing base on u64
    • Comparisons on u32 and u64 do not use division, only changing base with all constants calculated at compile time
  • Selection of base happens at compile time
    • A common problem is that run time changing of base robs us of a lot of optimization opportunities, but since there are no traits and short-hands select the correct base at compile time.
