std::chrono...operator++,(3)

🌈 std::chrono...operator++,(3) 🌈

okay so this page is from the C++ Standard Libary manual — yes, that spelling is literally on the header and we are not fixing it, bestie 💅. It's all about the increment and decrement operators on std::chrono::time_point, and it is giving very "one tick at a time" energy. let's get into it 🦋

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

std::chrono::time_point::operator++, -
std::chrono::time_point::operator++,

---

📜 Synopsis 📜

constexpr time_point& operator++();     (1) (since C++20)
constexpr time_point operator++( int ); (2) (since C++20)
constexpr time_point& operator--();     (3) (since C++20)
constexpr time_point operator--( int ); (4) (since C++20)

okay so the actual move here: it modifies the point in time *this represents by one tick of the duration. that's the whole gig ✨

If d_ is a member variable holding the duration (i.e., time since epoch) of this time_point object:

• 1) Equivalent to ++d_; return *this;.
• 2) Equivalent to return time_point(d_++).
• 3) Equivalent to --d_; return *this;.
• 4) Equivalent to return time_point(d_--);.

🚫 Parameters 🚫

(none) — literally none, bestie. not a single parameter in sight 💀

---

🔁 Return value 🔁

• 1,3) A reference to this time_point after modification.
• 2,4) A copy of the time_point made before modification.
