DeltaTicks()

const Tickstamp & SRL::Timer::DeltaTicks ( )

inlinestaticnoexcept

Frame delta ticks (raw elapsed ticks between frames).

Pre-calculated each frame by Core::Synchronize(). Stores the raw 48-bit tick count elapsed since the previous frame. Access is zero-cycle (no function call overhead).

Usage:

Use DeltaTicks() when you need maximum precision or when doing custom time calculations. For most cases, prefer DeltaSeconds() or DeltaMilliseconds().

const Tickstamp& elapsed = Timer::DeltaTicks();
uint32_t rawTicks = elapsed.low;  // Lower 32 bits
uint32_t overflows = elapsed.high;  // Upper 32 bits (overflow counter)

Note

This is a 48-bit value split across two 32-bit fields. The total tick count is (high << 16) | (low >> 16) in 48-bit terms.
