Before C++11, the C++ Standard Library did not have much support for working with time. C++11 changed all that and introduced the chrono library as part of the Standard Library. With its introduction, C++ gained a standard way to work with durations, clocks, and time points. It allows you to perform arithmetic operations with durations and time points, to convert between different units of time, and more. The library also comes with a number of clocks, including a high-resolution clock which makes it easy to quickly time how long a piece of code executes, e.g. for benchmarking, all without needing any additional libraries.
C++20 has extended the chrono library and added support for calendars, dates, and time zones. It allows you to represent specific days of a year, even something like the 3rd Monday of July or the last day of February, and to perform arithmetic operations with dates. Time can now be expressed in specific time zones, and, of course, converting time between different time zones is supported as well.

Marc Gregoire
Marc Gregoireis a software architect from Belgium. He graduated from the University of Leuven, Belgium, with a degree in "Burgerlijk ingenieur in de computer wetenschappen" (equivalent to a master of science in engineering in computer science). The year after, he received an advanced master’s degree in artificial intelligence, cum laude, at the same university. After his studies, Marc started working for a software consultancy company called Ordina Belgium. As a consultant, he worked for Siemens and Nokia Siemens Networks on critical 2G and 3G software running on Solaris for telecom operators. This required working in international teams stretching from South America and the United States to Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Now, Marc is a software architect at Nikon Metrology (www.nikonmetrology.com), a division of Nikon and a leading provider of precision optical instruments, X-ray machines, and metrology solutions for X-ray, CT, and 3-D geometric inspection.
His main expertise is C/C++, specifically Microsoft VC++ and the MFC framework. He has experience in developing C++ programs running 24/7 on Windows and Linux platforms: for example, KNX/EIB home automation software. In addition to C/C++, Marc also likes C#.
Since April 2007, he has received the annual Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional) award for his Visual C++ expertise.
Marc is the founder of the Belgian C++ Users Group (www.becpp.org), author of “Professional C++” 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Editions (Wiley/Wrox), co-author of “C++ Standard Library Quick Reference” 1st and 2nd editions (Apress), a technical editor for numerous books for several publishers, and a regular speaker at the CppCon C++ conference. He maintains a blog at www.nuonsoft.com/blog/ and is passionate about traveling and gastronomic restaurants.
