std: Redesign Duration, implementing RFC 1040 #24920

alexcrichton · 2015-04-29T00:41:31Z

This commit is an implementation of RFC 1040 which is a redesign of the
currently-unstable Duration type. The API of the type has been scaled back to
be more conservative and it also no longer supports negative durations.

The inner duration module of the time module has now been hidden (as
Duration is reexported) and the feature name for this type has changed from
std_misc to duration. All APIs accepting durations have also been audited to
take a more flavorful feature name instead of std_misc.

Closes #24874

The only "surprise" I had during the implementation was the naming of the methods here and there. Abbreviating "seconds" as "secs" didn't feel super rustic to me, but typing millis/nanos felt much better than milliseconds/nanoseconds. Overall I didn't feel too strongly either way!

src/libstd/time/duration.rs

+        let seconds = self.secs;
+        let millis = self.nanos / NANOS_PER_MILLI;
+        let nanos = self.nanos % NANOS_PER_MILLI;
+        match (seconds, millis, nanos) {


What's the motivation for this sort of 'complicated' formatting rather than something like, say, 1234.00000567s?

I'm not particularly wed to this format, but it's what was specified in the RFC (as a starting point). I also had some reservations and wouldn't mind changing it to be only numeric as well.

Hm, I also have mixed feelings about this actually looking at this code (I should have raised this with the RFC). I think that automatically figuring out whether to use seconds, millis, or nanos is a good idea, but I don't understand the motivation for XX seconds and XX nanoseconds.

This changes the behavior for a zero duration; intended?

aturon · 2015-05-04T17:08:53Z

@alexcrichton Ok, I've done a preliminary pass. Looks nice a simple. I raised a few concerns (most of which, to be honest, I should have raised on the RFC).

alexcrichton · 2015-05-07T17:34:33Z

Ok I have updated some feedback and discussion with @aturon:

Platforms now round up the duration instead of rounding down if they do not support nanosecond precision.
The Display implementation has become a little less wordy
Duration::nanos was renamed to Duration::extra_nanos. An alternative would be one method accessor returning (u64, u32), but it's unclear what the name for this accessor would be.
Arithmetic on Duration is now always checked.

re-r? @aturon

src/libstd/sys/unix/thread.rs

-            return Thread::yield_now()
-        }
-        let seconds = dur.num_seconds();
-        let ns = dur - Duration::seconds(seconds);
        let mut ts = libc::timespec {


There should exist From<Duration> for libc::timespec in liblibc instead.

Unfortunately this can't be provided in liblibc because Duration doesn't exist by that point and due to the in-tree liblibc being different from the out-of-tree liblibc it unfortunately also wouldn't work to provide this in the standard library as well.
