[ruby-core:57589] [CommonRuby - Feature #8096] introduce Time.current_timestamp

From: "headius (Charles Nutter)" <headius@...>
Date: 2013-10-02 05:33:55 UTC
List: ruby-core #57589
Issue #8096 has been updated by headius (Charles Nutter).


It would not be hard, given the guarantee that CLOCK_REALTIME works across platforms, to provide a #timestamp that is always CLOCK_REALTIME.

Can we do that, so we have an official API?
----------------------------------------
Feature #8096: introduce Time.current_timestamp
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8096#change-42203

Author: vipulnsward (Vipul Amler)
Status: Feedback
Priority: Low
Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto)
Category: 
Target version: Ruby 2.1.0


=begin
A lot of scenarios and applications require the use of (({Time.now.to_i})) which is used as current_timestamp in systems.

The introduction of (({Time.current_timestamp})) {or something with similar with different name} would provide implicit integer timestamp instead of going from 
(({Time.now})) -> time_object -> to_i -> integer timestamp value

So instead of

 Time.now.to_i # Outputs => 1363274618

one could use

 Time.current_timestamp # Outputs => 1363274618

=end
