Hi folks,

can a few of you folks please run the following little program on your 
computers and report the time it takes to run?

--------------------------------------------------
#include <chrono>
#include <thread>
#include <iostream>

inline void Delay(unsigned int msec)
{
     std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(msec));
}

int main()
{
     int count =  1000;
     for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i)
     {
         Delay(1);
     }
     std::cout << "Done." << std::endl;
}
--------------------------------------------------

On Windows Subsystem For Linux I see results like the following:

real    0m1.782s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s

But as I presume this is using the Windows scheduler, I expect that 
genuine Linux systems may behave differently, and I'm also interested in 
other platforms (Mac, maybe BSD if some of you folks are using that, or 
actually any system you can get your hands on.)

I have also reason to believe that results may differ between compilers. 
Using g++ 5.4.0 here.

"EEeeks!" for both the FreeBSD and MinGW results (not your fault obviously).

Can you try again with a `Delay(10)` and `Delay(100)` to see what 
happens? And if they behave nicely (i.e. give results of 10s upward and 
100s upward, respectively), can you spare some time and try to figure 
out what the "sweet spot" is?

In case you're curious what I'm doing: I'm testing whether 
`std::this_thread::sleep_for()` is - as advertised by the C++11 standard 
- suitable as a portable way of waiting for _at least_ the specified 
duration. If that is the case, then `Delay(msec)` should wait for at 
least the specified number of millisconds, and thus the entire program 
(doing 1000 such invocations in a loop) should wait for at least the 
specified number of seconds.

But alas! Standards are only as good as the rigorosity by which they are 
implemented.

Now that seems _totally_ bonkers. Can you add some output to the loop, 
say `cout << i << endl`, to make sure the compiler isn't just optimizing 
away the entire loop?

Take a deep breath.
You have been warned, 
compiling with the wrong compiler and wrong option creates no errors and 
a program that won't run but you don't notice because the test file test 
is not called but test (check file types and compare values) that is 
already present on the system...

But, the proper results are in:

FreeBSD Clang 6.0
Delay 1
0.000u 0.005s 0:01.07 0.0%      0+0k 2+0io 0pf+0w

Delay 10
0.000u 0.006s 0:10.64 0.0%      0+0k 6+0io 15pf+0w

Delay 100
0.000u 0.005s 1:46.24 0.0%      0+0k 2+0io 0pf+0w


Mingwin g++.exe (Rev1, Built by MSYS2 project) 8.2.1 20181207
Delay 1
real    0m15.822s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.015s

Delay 10
real    0m15.759s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.031s

Delay 100
real    1m49.566s
