从c++ 11开始，你可以使用std::chrono::system_clock::now()

示例(复制自en.cppreference.com):

#include <iostream>
#include <chrono>
#include <ctime>    

int main()
{
    auto start = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
    // Some computation here
    auto end = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
 
    std::chrono::duration<double> elapsed_seconds = end-start;
    std::time_t end_time = std::chrono::system_clock::to_time_t(end);
 
    std::cout << "finished computation at " << std::ctime(&end_time)
              << "elapsed time: " << elapsed_seconds.count() << "s"
              << std::endl;
}

这应该打印如下内容:

finished computation at Mon Oct  2 00:59:08 2017
elapsed time: 1.88232s

我需要一种方法在每次更新列表时插入当前日期-时间。 简单地说，这似乎很有效。

#include<bits/stdc++.h>
#include<unistd.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{   //initialize variables
    time_t now; 
    //blah..blah
    /*each time I want the updated stamp*/
    now=time(0);cout<<ctime(&now)<<"blah_blah";
}

你可以使用boost和chrono库:

#include <iostream>
#include <chrono>
#include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp>

using boost::posix_time::to_iso_extended_string;
using boost::posix_time::from_time_t;
using std::chrono::system_clock;

int main()
{
  auto now = system_clock::now();
  std::cout << to_iso_extended_string(from_time_t(system_clock::to_time_t(now)));
}

从c++ 11开始，你可以使用std::chrono::system_clock::now()

示例(复制自en.cppreference.com):

#include <iostream>
#include <chrono>
#include <ctime>    

int main()
{
    auto start = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
    // Some computation here
    auto end = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
 
    std::chrono::duration<double> elapsed_seconds = end-start;
    std::time_t end_time = std::chrono::system_clock::to_time_t(end);
 
    std::cout << "finished computation at " << std::ctime(&end_time)
              << "elapsed time: " << elapsed_seconds.count() << "s"
              << std::endl;
}

这应该打印如下内容:

finished computation at Mon Oct  2 00:59:08 2017
elapsed time: 1.88232s

你可以使用下面的代码在c++中获取当前的系统日期和时间:

    #include <iostream>
    #include <time.h> //It may be #include <ctime> or any other header file depending upon
                     // compiler or IDE you're using 
    using namespace std;

    int main() {
       // current date/time based on current system
       time_t now = time(0);

       // convert now to string form
       string dt = ctime(&now);

       cout << "The local date and time is: " << dt << endl;
    return 0;
    }

PS:访问这个网站了解更多信息。

你可以尝试下面的跨平台代码来获取当前的日期/时间:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

// Get current date/time, format is YYYY-MM-DD.HH:mm:ss
const std::string currentDateTime() {
    time_t     now = time(0);
    struct tm  tstruct;
    char       buf[80];
    tstruct = *localtime(&now);
    // Visit http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/chrono/c/strftime
    // for more information about date/time format
    strftime(buf, sizeof(buf), "%Y-%m-%d.%X", &tstruct);

    return buf;
}

int main() {
    std::cout << "currentDateTime()=" << currentDateTime() << std::endl;
    getchar();  // wait for keyboard input
}

输出:

currentDateTime()=2012-05-06.21:47:59
