42 @brief
43 Snapshot of a \bt_stream clock.
44
45 A <strong><em>clock snapshot</em></strong> is a snapshot of the value
46 of a \bt_stream clock (a \bt_clock_cls instance).
47
48 A clock snapshot is a \ref api-tir "trace IR" data object.
49
50 <em>Stream clocks</em> only exist conceptually in \bt_name because they
51 are stateful objects. \bt_cp_msg cannot refer to stateful objects
52 because they must not change while being transported from one
53 \bt_comp to the other.
54
55 Instead of having a stream clock object, messages have a default
56 clock snapshot: this is a snapshot of the value of a stream's
57 default clock (a clock class instance):
58

60
61 In the illustration above, notice that:
62
63 - Each stream has a default clock (yellow bell alarm clock): this is an
64 instance of the stream's class's default clock class.
65 - Each \bt_msg (objects in blue stream rectangles) created for a given
66 stream has a default clock snapshot (yellow star): this is a snapshot
67 of the stream's default clock.
68
69 In other words, a default clock snapshot contains the value of the
70 stream's default clock when this message occured.
71
72 A clock snapshot is a \ref api-fund-unique-object "unique object": it
73 belongs to a \bt_msg.
74
75 The type of a clock snapshot is #bt_clock_snapshot.
76
77 You cannot create a clock snapshot: you specify a clock snapshot value
78 (in clock cycles, a \c uint64_t value) when you create a \bt_msg or set
79 a message's clock snapshot with one of:
80
81 - bt_message_stream_beginning_set_default_clock_snapshot()
82 - bt_message_stream_end_set_default_clock_snapshot()
83 - bt_message_event_create_with_default_clock_snapshot()
84 - bt_message_event_create_with_packet_and_default_clock_snapshot()
85 - bt_message_packet_beginning_create_with_default_clock_snapshot()
86 - bt_message_packet_end_create_with_default_clock_snapshot()
87 - bt_message_discarded_events_create_with_default_clock_snapshots()
88 - bt_message_discarded_packets_create_with_default_clock_snapshots()
89 - bt_message_message_iterator_inactivity_create()
90
91 See \ref api-tir-clock-cls-origin "Clock value vs. clock class origin"
92 to understand the meaning of a clock's value in relation to the
93 properties of its class.
