C++ Timer

[jackmaverick1]

I have been frustrated by the lack of a time unit in all the C/C++ std librarys (hope I've got the right wording!). What is a function that I could use. I don't care if I write it or if it is in a library.

Thanx in advance!

You could use the timer in Boost Libriaries:

hope that helps
