// Override the return value of Time::Now(), Time::NowFromSystemTime(),
// TimeTicks::Now(), and ThreadTicks::Now() through a simple advanceable clock.
//
// This utility is intended to support tests that:
//
//   - Depend on large existing codebases that call TimeXYZ::Now() directly or
//   - Have no ability to inject a TickClock into the code getting the time
//     (e.g. integration tests in which a TickClock would be several layers
//     removed from the test code)
//
// NOTE: Overriding Time/TimeTicks altogether via
// TaskEnvironment::TimeSource::MOCK_TIME is now the preferred way of overriding
// time in unit tests.
//
// NOTE: ScopedMockClockOverride should be created while single-threaded and
// before the first call to Now() to avoid threading issues and inconsistencies
// in returned values. Nested overrides are not allowed.
