30          Boost.Asio provides timers based on the <code class="computeroutput">std::chrono</code> facilities
31          via the <a class="link" href="../../reference/basic_waitable_timer.html" title="basic_waitable_timer">basic_waitable_timer</a>
32          class template. The typedefs <a class="link" href="../../reference/system_timer.html" title="system_timer">system_timer</a>,
33          <a class="link" href="../../reference/steady_timer.html" title="steady_timer">steady_timer</a> and
34          <a class="link" href="../../reference/high_resolution_timer.html" title="high_resolution_timer">high_resolution_timer</a>
35          utilise the standard clocks <code class="computeroutput">system_clock</code>, <code class="computeroutput">steady_clock</code>
36          and <code class="computeroutput">high_resolution_clock</code> respectively.
37        </p>
38<p>
39          Support for the <code class="computeroutput">std::chrono</code> facilities is automatically enabled
40          for <code class="literal">g++</code> 4.6 and later, when the <code class="literal">-std=c++0x</code>
41          or <code class="literal">-std=gnu++0x</code> compiler options are used. (Note that,
42          for <code class="literal">g++</code>, the draft-standard <code class="computeroutput">monotonic_clock</code>
43          is used in place of <code class="computeroutput">steady_clock</code>.) Support may be disabled
44          by defining <code class="computeroutput">BOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_STD_CHRONO</code>, or explicitly enabled
45          for other compilers by defining <code class="computeroutput">BOOST_ASIO_HAS_STD_CHRONO</code>.
46        </p>
47<p>
48          When standard <code class="computeroutput">chrono</code> is unavailable, Boost.Asio will otherwise
49          use the Boost.Chrono library. The <a class="link" href="../../reference/basic_waitable_timer.html" title="basic_waitable_timer">basic_waitable_timer</a>
50          class template may be used with either.
