runningTime and get

• runningTime is one shared exported timer object, not one constructor for independent timers.
• runningTime uses one module-initialization time origin shared by all callers.
• get (-- seconds) returns elapsed time in seconds as Real64.
• Reading through get does not reset the timer.
• The reported value is monotonic elapsed time since module initialization.
• Repeated reads from the same process are nondecreasing.

Examples

Linux runtime example

"linux/runningTime" use
"linux/sync/sync" use
"String" use
"control" use

{} Int32 {} [
  t0: runningTime.get;
  0.01r64 sleepFor
  t1: runningTime.get;
  t1 t0 > toString print
  LF print
  0
] "main" exportFunction

Expected Output

TRUE
