Hi, I'm trying to use time measurement in a test application on Windows. Therefore I use the DispatchTime.now() function like this:
let timeBefore = DispatchTime.now()
While searching online all examples used the function like this. Now I'm getting an error while compiling:
←[1msrc/main.swift:115:26: ←[0m←[0;1;31merror: ←[0m←[1mcannot find 'DispatchTime' in scope
←[0m let timeBefore = DispatchTime.now()
←[0;1;32m ^~~~~~~~~~~~
←[0mNMAKE : fatal error U1077: "swiftc": Rückgabe-Code "0x1"
Is there something missing? Like an import? Or is this an issue with Windows and if that's the case, is there a workaround or other function to use?
Like an import?
I’m hardly an Windows expert but, even on the Mac, using DispatchTime.now() requires you to import Dispatch. So, this code:
// import Dispatch
func main() {
print(DispatchTime.now())
}
main()
won’t compile unless you uncomment the first line.
One gotcha here is that, on Apple platforms, Foundation re-exports Dispatch. So if you change the first line to this:
import Foundation
then things work. AFAIK that’s not the case on other platforms.
Share and Enjoy
