Timer names are weird #671
Description
I'm not sure if this can be changed in v2, but i trip on it every time.
| Textual description | googlebenchmark name | common(?) name | TIME(1) |
C++ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| the time that has passed on your usual clock | Time |
wall clock |
real, Elapsed (wall clock) |
high_resolution_clock / steady_clock |
| the time spent in the main thread only | CPU |
? | ? | clock_gettime(CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID) |
| the total amount of the time the processor[s] has spent doing something (all threads combined) | - (i miss it) | ? | user |
clock |
This is really confusing, i think.
