2015-03-20Introduce a new time APIRickard Green
The old time API is based on erlang:now/0. The major issue with erlang:now/0 is that it was intended to be used for so many unrelated things. This tied these unrelated operations together and unnecessarily caused performance, scalability as well as accuracy, and precision issues for operations that do not need to have such issues. The new API spreads different functionality over multiple functions in order to improve on this. The new API consists of a number of new BIFs: - erlang:convert_time_unit/3 - erlang:monotonic_time/0 - erlang:monotonic_time/1 - erlang:system_time/0 - erlang:system_time/1 - erlang:time_offset/0 - erlang:time_offset/1 - erlang:timestamp/0 - erlang:unique_integer/0 - erlang:unique_integer/1 - os:system_time/0 - os:system_time/1 and a number of extensions of existing BIFs: - erlang:monitor(time_offset, clock_service) - erlang:system_flag(time_offset, finalize) - erlang:system_info(os_monotonic_time_source) - erlang:system_info(time_offset) - erlang:system_info(time_warp_mode) - erlang:system_info(time_correction) - erlang:system_info(start_time) See the "Time and Time Correction in Erlang" chapter of the ERTS User's Guide for more information.
