你可以使用c++ 11时间类:

    #include <iostream>
    #include <iomanip>
    using namespace std;

    int main() {

       time_t now = chrono::system_clock::to_time_t(chrono::system_clock::now());
       cout << put_time(localtime(&now), "%F %T") <<  endl;
      return 0;
     }

把:

2017-08-25 12:30:08

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";
}

下面是不弃用的现代c++解决方案，用于将时间戳作为std::string用于例如文件名:

std::string get_file_timestamp()
{
    const auto now = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
    const auto in_time_t = std::chrono::system_clock::to_time_t(now);

    std::stringstream output_stream;

    struct tm time_info;
    const auto errno_value = localtime_s(&time_info, &in_time_t);
    if(errno_value != 0)
    {
        throw std::runtime_error("localtime_s() failed: " + std::to_string(errno_value));
    }

    output_stream << std::put_time(&time_info, "%Y-%m-%d.%H_%M_%S");
    return output_stream.str();
}

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)));
}

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

int main ()
{
  time_t rawtime;
  struct tm * timeinfo;

  time ( &rawtime );
  timeinfo = localtime ( &rawtime );
  printf ( "Current local time and date: %s", asctime (timeinfo) );

  return 0;
} 

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;
    }
