Cross platform Sleep function for C++

Question

Is it possible with macros make cross platform Sleep code? For example

#ifdef LINUX
#include 
#endif
#ifdef WINDOWS
         


        

Answer 1

since c++ 11 you could just do this.

#include
#include
int main(){
    std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(x));//sleeps for x milliseconds
    std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(x));//sleeps for x seconds  
    std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::minutes(x));//sleeps for x minutes
    std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::hours(x));//sleeps for x hours.
  return 0;  
}

I don't know why would you want to use messy macros when you can do this, this method is great, cross platform and is included in the c++ standard.
