compatible-chrono

A C++ header-only library providing a compatibility layer for <chrono> features across different C++ standards (C++17, C++20, etc). This project aims to make it easier to write portable time and date code that works seamlessly regardless of the C++ standard version.

Features

• Compatibility wrappers for <chrono> features
• Utilities for working with clocks, time points, and durations
• Support for local time and time zone data (see tzdata/)
• Header-only: just include compatible_chrono.hpp

Getting Started

1. Clone this repository.
2. Include compatible_chrono.hpp in your project.
3. Build your project with your desired C++ standard (C++17, C++20, etc).

Example build (C++17):

# On Windows
cpp17.cmd
# On Unix
./cpp17.sh

Files

• compatible_chrono.hpp: Main header file
• main.cpp: Example usage
• test_*.cpp: Unit tests and examples
• tzdata/: Time zone data files
