Summary

A toolbox library that holds a useful collection of small unitilies written in Rust that make our life easier when writting Rust applications.

Utilities provided:

Stopwatch and Timekeper

Keep track of execution times in various points in binaries. Print records.

Minimal Example:

    let mut s = TimeKeeper::init();
    let mut t = TimeKeeper::init();

    s.totals();

    s.lap("init");

    for _ in 0..5 {
        std::thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(5));
        s.lap("loop");
        t.lap("loop");
    }
    s.lap_totals("loop");
    std::thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(1234));
    s.lap("after");

    s.totals();
    t.totals();

    s.merge(t);

    s.totals();

Tips for resolving Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 build issues:

1. Make sure you have the following system-level dependencies installed:

   sudo apt install pkg-config build-essential fontconfig libfontconfig1-dev
   

2. Verify that pkg-config can detect libstdc++ properly:

   pkg-config --libs libstdc++
   

3. If libstdc++ is not detected, add the symbolic link:

   sudo ln -s /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/11/libstdc++.so /usr/lib/libstdc++.so
