I suppose you'd need to look at the parent/my post, 
where it's in full code what this function does ;)

tl/dr: it's a function that tries to get a time stamp
in (maybe less) thread-safe / (I'd rather call it) reentrant way

for use in thread timing and profiling.

So no, TTimer not appropriate here.
