future()

static Timer future ( Duration  duration )

inlinestatic

Creates a timer whose “start time” is some Duration in the future.

Suppose we want to wait 30 seconds and then do something. We could create a Timer whose “start time” is in 30 seconds, and then poll it on each frame. When it returns a non-negative number for its elapsed_time() const, we know that the time as arrived.
