Defined in header <chrono>
template<class Rep1, class Period1, class Rep2, class Period2 > struct common_type<std::chrono::duration<Rep1, Period1>,                    std::chrono::duration<Rep2, Period2>>;		(since C++11)

Exposes the type named type, which is the common type of two std::chrono::durations, whose period is the greatest common divisor of Period1 and Period2.

Member types

Member type	Definition
type	std::chrono::duration<typenamestd::common_type<Rep1, Rep2>::type, /* see note */>

Note

The period of the resulting duration can be computed by forming a ratio of the greatest common divisor of Period1::num and Period2::num and the least common multiple of Period1::den and Period2::den.

Example

Run this code

#include <chrono>#include <iostream>#include <type_traits>   // std::chrono already finds the greatest common divisor,// likely using std::common_type<>. We make the type// deduction externally.    template<typename T,typename S>constexprauto durationDiff(const T& t, const S& s)->typenamestd::common_type<T,S>::type{typedeftypenamestd::common_type<T,S>::type Common;return Common(t)- Common(s);}   int main(){usingnamespace std::literals;   constexprauto ms = 30ms;constexprauto us = 1100us;constexprauto diff = durationDiff(ms, us);   std::cout<< ms <<" - "<< us <<" = "<< diff <<'\n';}

Output:

30ms - 1100us = 28900us
