std::hash<std::chrono::time_point>

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | chrono‎ | time point
 
 
 
 
Defined in header <chrono>
template<class Clock, class Duration >
struct hash<std::chrono::time_point<Clock, Duration>>;
(since C++26)

The template specialization of std::hash for std::chrono::time_point allows users to obtain hashes of objects of type std::chrono::time_point<Clock, Duration>. This specialization is enabled if and only if std::hash<Duration> is enabled.

Example

#include <chrono>#include <cstddef>#include <iostream>#include <string>#include <thread>#include <unordered_map>   struct my_system_clock :std::chrono::system_clock{using time_point =std::chrono::time_point<my_system_clock>;   static time_point now()noexcept{return time_point{std::chrono::system_clock::now().time_since_epoch()};}   template<class CharT, class Traits>friendauto operator<<(std::basic_ostream<CharT, Traits>& os, const time_point& tp)-> decltype(os){return os << std::chrono::system_clock::time_point{tp.time_since_epoch()};}};   using my_system_clock_tp =std::chrono::time_point<my_system_clock>;   #if __cpp_lib_chrono < 202306L// custom specialization of std::hash can be injected in namespace stdtemplate<>structstd::hash<my_system_clock_tp>{std::size_t operator()(const my_system_clock_tp& d)constnoexcept{return d.time_since_epoch().count();}};#endif   int main(){usingnamespace std::chrono_literals;   std::unordered_map<my_system_clock_tp, std::string> log;   for(int i{}; i !=4;++i){std::this_thread::sleep_for(100ms); log[my_system_clock::now()]="event #"+std::to_string(i);}   for(autoconst&[time, message]: log)std::cout<<'['<< time <<"], message: "<< message <<'\n';}

Possible output:

[2024-03-22 10:47:14.966238436], message: event #3 [2024-03-22 10:47:14.866096194], message: event #2 [2024-03-22 10:47:14.765965786], message: event #1 [2024-03-22 10:47:14.665817365], message: event #0
