std::chrono::leap_second Support (C++26 Evolution)
C++26 · The Next Frontier · Compiler flag: -std=c++26
Explanation
Improved support for leap seconds in chrono types.
Real-World Scenario
Handle leap seconds in a global time scheduler.
Quick Snippet
snippet.cpp
#include <chrono> auto ls = std::chrono::leap_second::list();Full Example
leap_second_support.cpp
// CodeNebula - C++26 Example: chrono::leap_second Support
// Compile: g++ -std=c++26 -Wall -Wextra -o example leap_second_support.cpp
// Note: Requires C++26 compiler support
#include <iostream>
#include <chrono>
#include <iomanip>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
// C++20 added chrono::leap_second and get_leap_second_info(). C++26 improves:
// - Updated leap second tables, better constexpr queries
// - Improved utc/tai/gps clock conversions and formatting
