In fact std::thread::sleep doesn't exist. There's sleep_for and sleep_until. Time deltas and time points are incompatible at the type level, so you have to do:

   std::this_thread::sleep_until(std::chrono::system_clock::now() + 300ms)

That's true for all functions that take timeouts (At least since C++11).

GP's snippet was in Rust (not that I know if it's valid Rust code).

However, in C++ std::thread is a class and it does not have a static member function sleep_until. (However, std::this_thread, which is a namespace, does have such a function).

D'oh! Thanks for the correction! Rust using std:: for its standard library does make some code snippets ambiguous!

Yeah, I agree. :-)
