namespace mediapipe {

// An abstract interface representing a Clock, which is an object that can
// tell you the current time, and sleep.
//
// This interface allows decoupling code that uses time from the code that
// creates a point in time.  You can use this to your advantage by injecting
// Clocks into interfaces rather than having implementations call absl::Now()
// directly.
//
// The Clock::RealClock() function returns a pointer (that you do not own)
// to the global realtime clock.
//
// Example:
//
//   bool IsWeekend(Clock* clock) {
//     absl::Time now = clock->TimeNow();
//     // ... code to check if 'now' is a weekend.
//   }
//
//   // Production code.
//   IsWeekend(Clock::RealClock());
//
//   // Test code:
//   MyTestClock test_clock(SATURDAY);
//   IsWeekend(&test_clock);
//
class Clock { … };
