Constructor Details

#initialize(nanos = self.class.monotonic_function.call) ⇒ Instant

Create a new Instant from an optional nanosecond measurement.

Users should generally not pass anything to this function.

Parameters:

  • nanos (Integer) (defaults to: self.class.monotonic_function.call)

See Also:

  • #now

Class Attribute Details

.clock_id ⇒ Numeric .clock_id=(id) ⇒ Object

Overloads:

  • .clock_id ⇒ Numeric

    The Process.clock_gettime clock id used to create Instant instances by the default monotonic function.

    Returns:

    • (Numeric)
  • .clock_id=(id) ⇒ Object

    Override the default Process.clock_gettime clock id. Some potential choices include but are not limited to:

    • Process::CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW

    • Process::CLOCK_UPTIME_RAW

    • Process::CLOCK_UPTIME_PRECISE

    • Process::CLOCK_UPTIME_FAST

    • Process::CLOCK_UPTIME

    • Process::CLOCK_MONOTONIC_PRECISE

    • Process::CLOCK_MONOTONIC_FAST

    • Process::CLOCK_MONOTONIC

    • :MACH_ABSOLUTE_TIME_BASED_CLOCK_MONOTONIC

    • :TIMES_BASED_CLOCK_MONOTONIC

    These are platform-dependant and may vary in resolution, accuracy, performance, and behaviour in light of system suspend/resume and NTP frequency skew. They should be selected carefully based on your specific needs and environment.

    It is possible to set non-monotonic clock sources here. You probably shouldn’t.

    Defaults to auto-selection from whatever is available from:

    • CLOCK_UPTIME_RAW (if running under macOS)

    • CLOCK_MONOTONIC

    • CLOCK_REALTIME (non-monotonic fallback, issues a run-time warning)

    Parameters:

    • id (Numeric, Symbol)

def clock_id

end

.monotonic_function=(function) ⇒ Object

The function used to create Instant instances.

This function must return a Numeric, monotonic count of nanoseconds since a fixed point in the past.

Defaults to -> { Process.clock_gettime(clock_id, :nanosecond) }.

Parameters:

  • function (#call)

Class Method Details

.clock_getres(clock = clock_id) ⇒ Object

Return the claimed resolution of the given clock id or the configured clock_id, as a Duration, or nil if invalid.

Note per Ruby issue #16740, the practical usability of this method is dubious and non-portable.

Parameters:

  • clock (Numeric, Symbol) (defaults to: clock_id) —

    Optional clock id instead of default.

  Duration.from_nanos(Process.clock_getres(clock, :nanosecond))
rescue SystemCallError
  # suppress errors
end

.clock_name ⇒ Symbol?

The symbolic name of the currently-selected clock_id, if available.

Returns:

  • (Symbol, nil)

  Process.constants.find do |c|
    c.to_s.start_with?('CLOCK_') && Process.const_get(c) == clock_id
  end
end

.now ⇒ Instant

An alias to new, and generally preferred over it.

Instance Method Details

#+(other) ⇒ Instant

Add a Duration or #to_nanos-coercible object to this Instant, returning a new Instant.

Examples:

(Instant.now + Duration.from_secs(1)).to_s # => "-999.983976ms"

Parameters:

def +(other)
  return TypeError, 'Not one of: [Duration, #to_nanos]' unless other.respond_to?(:to_nanos)

  Instant.new(@ns + other.to_nanos)
end

#-(other) ⇒ Duration, Instant

Subtract another Instant to generate a Duration between the two, or a Duration or #to_nanos-coercible object, to generate an Instant offset by it.

Examples:

(Instant.now - Duration.from_secs(1)).to_s # => "1.000016597s"
(Instant.now - Instant.now).to_s           # => "-3.87μs"

  else
    raise TypeError, 'Not one of: [Instant, Duration, #to_nanos]'
  end
end

#<=>(other) ⇒ -1, ...

Determine if the given Instant is before, equal to or after this one. nil if not passed an Instant.

Returns:

end

#==(other) ⇒ Boolean Also known as: eql?

Determine if other‘s value equals that of this Instant. Use eql? if type checks are desired for future compatibility.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

#sleep(duration = nil) ⇒ Duration

Sleep until this Instant, plus an optional Duration, returning a Duration that’s either positive if any time was slept, or negative if sleeping would require time travel.

Examples:

Sleeps for a second

start = Instant.now
sleep 0.5 # do stuff for half a second
start.sleep(Duration.from_secs(1)).to_s # => "490.088706ms" (slept)
start.sleep(Duration.from_secs(1)).to_s # => "-12.963502ms" (did not sleep)

Also sleeps for a second.

one_second_in_the_future = Instant.now + Duration.from_secs(1)
one_second_in_the_future.sleep.to_s     # => "985.592712ms" (slept)
one_second_in_the_future.sleep.to_s     # => "-4.71217ms" (did not sleep)

Parameters:

  • duration (nil, Duration, #to_nanos) (defaults to: nil)

Returns:

  • (Duration) —

    the slept duration, if #positive?, else the overshot time
