How to get the precision of high_resolution_clock?

by

The minimum representable duration is high_resolution_clock::period::num / high_resolution_clock::period::den seconds. You can print it like this:

std::cout << (double) std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::period::num
             / std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::period::den;

Why is this? A clock’s ::period member is defined as “The tick period of the clock in seconds.” It is a specialization of std::ratio which is a template to represent ratios at compile-time. It provides two integral constants: num and den, the numerator and denominator of a fraction, respectively.
