[jira] [Created] (TS-4532) static type checking for time units

James Peach created TS-4532:
-------------------------------

             Summary: static type checking for time units
                 Key: TS-4532
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-4532
             Project: Traffic Server
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
            Reporter: James Peach


Since the various time units {{ink_time_t}}, {{time_t}}, {{ink_hrtime}} are all typedefs of C integral types, it is very hard to ensure that units are being converted and compared correctly.

Consider wrapping these in trivial classes as part of making the time APIs more straightforward. Alternatively, if we move to {{C++11}} investigate {{std::chrono}} for this.
