Tempus Fugit   Latest Version Rustc Version 1.26+

This is a Rust crate that operates around the concept of measuring the time it takes to take some action.

Convenience is the name of the game here, specifically by empowering a dependent crate to do 2 things:

  1. Measuring the wall-clock time of any expression in nanosecond[1] resolution:

    [dependencies]
    tempus_fugit = "0.10"
    
    #[macro_use] extern crate tempus_fugit;
    
    use std::fs::File;
    use std::io::Read;
    use tempus_fugit::Measurement;
    
    fn main() {
        let (contents, measurement) = measure! {{
            let mut file = File::open("Cargo.lock")
                .expect("failed to open Cargo.lock");
            let mut contents = vec![];
            file.read_to_end(&mut contents)
                .expect("failed to read Cargo.lock");
            String::from_utf8(contents)
                .expect("failed to extract contents to String")
        }};
    
        println!("contents: {:?}", contents);
        println!("opening and reading file took {}", measurement);
    }
    

    The measure! macro returns a tuple containing the result of executing an expression (in this case a block), as well as a Measurement which indicates how long the expression took to execute.

  2. Displaying a Measurement in a human-readable fashion. There is a Display impl for Measurement, so this is as easy as formatting a value with e.g. format!("{}", measurement).

The Measurement type also has impls for Ord and Eq, which makes comparison and sorting easy.

In addition, there is opt-in support for de/serialization through Serde. This is activated by using the follwing in your crate's Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
tempus_fugit = { version = "0.10", features = ["enable_serde"] }

[1] While the accounting is in nanosecond resolution, the actual resolution may be limited to courser granularity by the operating system.
