Add etl::duration? #785

Closed jaskij closed 7 months ago

jaskij commented 7 months ago

Just today, I was greeted by a nasty message from GCC 13.2 that the <chrono> header (and thus everything in std::chrono) is not available in a freestanding implementation.

While that is true, it has worked in the past. Would it make sense to add an etl::duration? It's the part of it that previously worked, and the one most likely to be missed. An alternative option would be to encourage the use of a units library (either generally, or a specific one).

I started a feature branch a while ago (feature/#757-Add-time-date-classes) that I plan to gradually add to over time.

It currently just implements some of the basic chrono units:-

day
weekday
weekday_indexed
weekday_last
month
year
last_spec
duration

Turns out it was just an issue with compilation flags (don't use -ffreestanding with GCC and newlib), so this issue is moot.
