nuclear@0: //  25 Sep 99  elapsed_max() and elapsed_min() added (John Maddock)

nuclear@0: //  A timer object measures elapsed time.
nuclear@0: 
nuclear@0: //  It is recommended that implementations measure wall clock rather than CPU
nuclear@0: //  time since the intended use is performance measurement on systems where
nuclear@0: //  total elapsed time is more important than just process or CPU time.
nuclear@0: 
nuclear@0: //  Warnings: The maximum measurable elapsed time may well be only 596.5+ hours
nuclear@0: //  due to implementation limitations.  The accuracy of timings depends on the
nuclear@0: //  accuracy of timing information provided by the underlying platform, and
nuclear@0: //  this varies a great deal from platform to platform.
