Detailed Description

Virtual base class for a real-time clock.

The purpose for this base class is to have a real and a mock implementation. The Clock* pointer can be injected into components that need to use real time for business logic, and then tests can inject a mock or fake clock to drive the test scenario manually without needing to call sleep.

see RealClock and MockClock.
