Function Documentation

inline std::string get_build_time()

returns the time that the running executable was built

This uses the mtime of the running binary, which is when it was linked. That is more accurate than BUILD_DATE and BUILD_TIME, which are per-translation-unit and go stale whenever a header or a linked library changes without the main source being rebuilt.

Returns:

build time as YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss UTC, empty if unavailable
