I used std::chrono::high_resolution_clock to calculate time interval, like below:

double ts = 0;
auto t1 = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
do_something();
auto t2 = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
ts += std::chrono::duration<double>(t2 - t1).count();

The value of ts will be minus. I attached an example to demonstrate this bug, please check it out.
(complie it: clang++ -o chrono_test chrono_test.cpp)

If it catched this bug, the app will exit at once.

q_count = 1101145088, q_rate = 799.75
q_count = 1101146112, q_rate = 799.75
q_count = 1101147136, q_rate = 799.75
q_count = 1101148160, q_rate = 799.75
q_count = 1101149184, q_rate = 799.75
q_count = 1101150208, q_rate = 799.75
q_count = 1101151232, q_rate = 799.75
q_count = 1101152256, q_rate = 799.75
q_count = 1101153280, q_rate = -2150.39
catched that bug, hahaha

Of course, I compiled this program with gcc, and clang from latest msys2. It worked well. So I think it's a bug.
