Hello,

I know there are severel threads concerning "Wait", "Pause", "Sleep", a.s.o
but most of them were created in 2007 or similiar. It seems D has changed a lot because when I try to call sleep/msleep (example), the compiler cannot find it (ERROR: undefined indentifier).

import std.stdio;
/// .... other imports as well

import std.c.time;

main_bock()
{
//// init and things

sleep(1); // not found

std.c.time.sleep(2); // not found as well

std.c.time.msleep(1000); // nope...


/// continued code
}

So, is there a newer version? I get a hint for thread.sleep but this may be a member function. Also, i suppose I MAY use Sleep() from windows.h, if there is no other option.

import core.thread;

void main() {

}

This will work:

import core.thread;

void main() {
     Thread.sleep(5.seconds);
}


sleep is a member of Thread, but it is static so you can easily call it to sleep the current thread.

The argument is a Duration, which is most easily constructed with the .seconds, .msecs, .minutes, etc. helper functions like I did here.
