I have a class to measure and log the time consumption in a scope
class MeasureTime {
public:
MeasureTime(const std::string log_message) : log_message(log_message), t_start(std::chrono::steady_clock::now()){};
~MeasureTime() {
const auto t_end = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
const auto duration = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::duration<double>>(t_end - t_start).count();
std::cout << "Time measurement: " << log_message << " took " << duration " seconds.\n";
}
private:
const std::chrono::_V2::steady_clock::time_point t_start;
const std::string log_message;
};
If I have a scope like this everything works fine.
{
MeasureTime measureTime("message");
// do something
} // The destructor of MeasureTime is called here
On the other hand, if I just construct the object without assigning it to a variable the constructor is called immediately and the time measurement fails.
{
MeasureTime("message"); // The destructor of MeasureTime is called immediately here
// do something
}
How can I ensure that the created object is assigned to an object?
