I could embed images into source code. A picture is worth a thousand words, sometimes.
Given the so-called modern age we live in, it's appalling that IDE's like Visual Studio don't support this natively.
Ah, but there's this: ImageComments - Visual Studio Marketplace[^]
Dang. I'll have to try that.

Yup.

I think a well written comment is explanatory enough to not need a picture comment.
I also see the file size getting unnecessarily big(assuming that the pictures are actually ported to the source code for other people to see the comment on a different system, otherwise what's the point).
What happens when the image is not there anymore?
Interesting thought though.

The thing is, a picture vs. "Notice the return values on this transaction, where RC == 0 but Status is 2, vs. the second transaction, where RC != 0 and Status is 1". I just want a small picture of the 4 columns and two rows involved.
And while I agree with you, there's the other factor -- comments are not necessarily read. A picture is hard to ignore and draws you into reading the explanation.

Broken image links - now for your source code editor!

Absolutely.
In fact, even the well-written comment isn't needed, because the code explains itself.

Used correctly, I can see this being a nice feature. That said, my immediate thought was for inserting a not so nice image where a 'feature' had to be added to account for a client with special requests or handling a bizarre one-off edge case. If my computer screens actually captured and saved my reactions there would be more than a few with the double-bird.
How about some emoticons to show how you were feeling when you wrote/rewrote this code block, or fixed someone else's code?

I've worked with IDEs for apps where you can attach pictures and zip files.
As long as the people making the attachments aren't idiots (and they invariably haven't been), it's an extremely fast and helpful way of explaining what's been done.

I'm waiting for Visual Cortana (should find an "i" word so I can call her Vickie...), where you will tell VS what you want to build and it will find all the NuGet and GIT crap and build the application for you.

I am using something like
std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::microseconds(toWait));
where toWait is dynamic, depending on frequency and desired time minus the used time for the data processing.
I am aware of:
Blocks the execution of the current thread for at least the specified sleep_duration.
This function may block for longer than sleep_duration due to scheduling or resource contention delays.
but I would at least have expected that the scheduling or resource contention is something that can come but that goes again as fast as it gets solved but...
NO, it isn't.
Example:
1 minute à 250 Hz (4 ms period) --> 15000 expected ticks.
toWait = [3700, 3980] us depending on what it is done in each tick
30% of the tests working fine, sleeping the correct toWait --> 60.000xxx execution time, 15001 ticks 
70% of the tests going wrong, because it adds 6 ms to the wait time (toWait [9700, 9950] us) and the elephanting offset remains for the whole execution --> 60.000xxx execution time, 6001 ticks
Sorry... but I had to "shout"
Thanks for "listening"
EDIT (New day, new perspective):
I have just dumped the sleep_for(toWait);.
I am now using my own check using the QueryPerformanceCounter and comparing it to the period I want to use.
So far... performing good.
If my long time performance tests are successful and I get the time to do it right... I might put a bit order, create a helper class and write an article / tip about it.
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Clearly you had the ticks handled but you forget about the tocks!

I'm not sure about what you're trying to do, nor to have understood everything in the post, but it does seem a strange way to manage timing.
I don't know what sleep_for uses as sleeping mechanism nor the plaform you are using, but if it uses the equivalent of Windows' Sleep() then I can guarantee you 250Hz are way above the system capabilities in standard configuration (you can bypass it but it is Windows' specific and I don't know the platform you're using nor what you are trying to do).
