使用time(NULL)
得到的是从1970年1月1日到目前的秒,这种精度很多时候是不够用的。为了得到毫秒级的精度,需要使用gettimeofday
:
直接上代码:
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
// Return 1 if the difference is negative, otherwise 0.
int timeval_subtract(struct timeval *result, struct timeval *t2, struct timeval *t1)
{
long int diff = (t2->tv_usec + 1000000 * t2->tv_sec) - (t1->tv_usec + 1000000 * t1->tv_sec);
result->tv_sec = diff / 1000000;
result->tv_usec = diff % 1000000;
return (diff<0);
}
void timeval_print(struct timeval *tv)
{
char buffer[30];
time_t curtime;
printf("%ld.%06ld", tv->tv_sec, tv->tv_usec);
curtime = tv->tv_sec;
strftime(buffer, 30, "%m-%d-%Y %T", localtime(&curtime;));
printf(" = %s.%06ld\n", buffer, tv->tv_usec);
}
int main()
{
struct timeval tvBegin, tvEnd, tvDiff;
// begin
gettimeofday(&tvBegin;, NULL);
timeval_print(&tvBegin;);
// lengthy operation
int i,j;
for(i=0;i<999999L;++i) {
j=sqrt(i);
}
//end
gettimeofday(&tvEnd;, NULL);
timeval_print(&tvEnd;);
// diff
timeval_subtract(&tvDiff;, &tvEnd;, &tvBegin;);
printf("%ld.%06ld\n", tvDiff.tv_sec, tvDiff.tv_usec);
return 0;
}
