@burkadurka came up with some clever workarounds. |
That's nifty. I'm tempted to add that as a utility method to chrono as a quick way to use strptime formatting with durations. |
Sorry to necro an old issue, but I wanted to throw in my 2c. @quodlibetor's suggestion of allowing a formatting string would be a step in the right direction, but I think it would be even better to support (in addition to) a more human-readable format, like the one used by Google's I think a large part of it is because it's easy to print and parse, which are critical for debugging and normal usage of most types. Additionally, command line apps really benefit from being able to parse that format, since it's quite human-readable. |
