最近做的一个模拟嵌入式设备的项目中,要求事件的响应精度在1毫秒左右,特地编写代码测试了一下QTimer和QThread中的msleep函数的时间精度。
QT的帮助中对于QTimer的时间精度问题是这么写的:
Timers will never time out earlier than the specified timeout value and they are not guaranteed to time out at the exact value specified. In many situations, they may time out late by a period of time that depends on the accuracy of the system timers.
The accuracy of timers depends on the underlying operating system and hardware. Most platforms support a resolution of 1 millisecond, though the accuracy of the timer will not equal this resolution in many real-world situations.
If Qt is unable to deliver the requested number of timer clicks, it will silently discard some.
