How to fix C++ error: invalid use of template-name ‘std::chrono::time_point’ without an argument list

Problem:

You are trying to use std::chrono::time_point in your C++ code, but the compiler throws an error message like

MyClass.hpp:58:5: error: invalid use of template-name ‘std::chrono::time_point’ without an argument list
   58 |     std::chrono::time_point t0;

Solution:

std::chrono::time_point is a template that requires two template arguments: the clock and the duration. The duration argument, however, defaults to Clock::duration so you only have to explicitly specify the clock.

Typically you can just use std::chrono::system_clock:

std::chrono::time_point<std::chrono::system_clock> t0;
