[jira] [Created] (LOGCXX-527) Mock the clock for tests

Robert Middleton created LOGCXX-527:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Mock the clock for tests
                 Key: LOGCXX-527
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-527
             Project: Log4cxx
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Robert Middleton


The calls that we have for the clock should be changed to allow for mocking.  This will help to fix an issue with running the tests that require a clock to run, e.g. the rolling file appender tests.  By manually advancing the clock, we should be able to avoid any problems with scheduling differences.

This is also a good place to remove the apr_* calls and replace them with their C++ standard components.
