Detailed Description

template<typename Clock>
class pw::chrono::VirtualClock< Clock >

An abstract interface representing a Clock.

This interface allows decoupling code that uses time from the code that creates a point in time. You can use this to your advantage by injecting Clocks into interfaces rather than having implementations call SystemClock::now() directly. However, this comes at a cost of a vtable per implementation and more importantly passing and maintaining references to the VirtualClock for all of the users.

This interface is thread and IRQ safe.
