Summarizing the discussion inside #6584 the cv::TickMeter class should use the std::steady_clock if C++11 is available and fall-back to the current implementation otherwise.
@sturkmen72 , do you plan to add the C++11 branch?

cv::TickMeter class should use the std::steady_clock

I believe cv::getTickCount should think about "steady_clock" or other implementations. TickMeter is just a wrapper over getTickCount and should be simple as much as possible.

@alalek , sounds reasonable!
@sturkmen72 ?

OK, if so - let's merge this one and wait for a fix for the feature request #6902.
👍
