下面是我使用的两个单行宏:

#define TICK   NSDate *startTime = [NSDate date]
#define TOCK   NSLog(@"Time: %f", -[startTime timeIntervalSinceNow])

像这样使用它:

TICK;

/* ... Do Some Work Here ... */

TOCK;

你可以得到很好的时间(秒。部分秒)使用这个StopWatch类。它使用了iPhone的高精度计时器。使用NSDate只能获得秒级精度。这个版本是专门为自动发布和objective-c设计的。如果需要的话，我也有一个c++版本。你可以在这里找到c++版本。

StopWatch.h

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>


@interface StopWatch : NSObject 
{
    uint64_t _start;
    uint64_t _stop;
    uint64_t _elapsed;
}

-(void) Start;
-(void) Stop;
-(void) StopWithContext:(NSString*) context;
-(double) seconds;
-(NSString*) description;
+(StopWatch*) stopWatch;
-(StopWatch*) init;
@end

StopWatch.m

#import "StopWatch.h"
#include <mach/mach_time.h>

@implementation StopWatch

-(void) Start
{
    _stop = 0;
    _elapsed = 0;
    _start = mach_absolute_time();
}
-(void) Stop
{
    _stop = mach_absolute_time();   
    if(_stop > _start)
    {
        _elapsed = _stop - _start;
    }
    else 
    {
        _elapsed = 0;
    }
    _start = mach_absolute_time();
}

-(void) StopWithContext:(NSString*) context
{
    _stop = mach_absolute_time();   
    if(_stop > _start)
    {
        _elapsed = _stop - _start;
    }
    else 
    {
        _elapsed = 0;
    }
    NSLog([NSString stringWithFormat:@"[%@] Stopped at %f",context,[self seconds]]);

    _start = mach_absolute_time();
}


-(double) seconds
{
    if(_elapsed > 0)
    {
        uint64_t elapsedTimeNano = 0;

        mach_timebase_info_data_t timeBaseInfo;
        mach_timebase_info(&timeBaseInfo);
        elapsedTimeNano = _elapsed * timeBaseInfo.numer / timeBaseInfo.denom;
        double elapsedSeconds = elapsedTimeNano * 1.0E-9;
        return elapsedSeconds;
    }
    return 0.0;
}
-(NSString*) description
{
    return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f secs.",[self seconds]];
}
+(StopWatch*) stopWatch
{
    StopWatch* obj = [[[StopWatch alloc] init] autorelease];
    return obj;
}
-(StopWatch*) init
{
    [super   init];
    return self;
}

@end

该类有一个返回自动释放对象的静态stopWatch方法。

调用start后，使用seconds方法获取运行时间。再次调用start来重新启动它。或者停下来停下来。在调用stop后，您仍然可以随时读取时间(调用秒数)。

函数中的示例(执行的定时调用)

-(void)SomeFunc
{
   StopWatch* stopWatch = [StopWatch stopWatch];
   [stopWatch Start];

   ... do stuff

   [stopWatch StopWithContext:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Created %d Records",[records count]]];
}

NSDate *methodStart = [NSDate date];

/* ... Do whatever you need to do ... */

NSDate *methodFinish = [NSDate date];
NSTimeInterval executionTime = [methodFinish timeIntervalSinceDate:methodStart];
NSLog(@"executionTime = %f", executionTime);

迅速:

let methodStart = NSDate()

/* ... Do whatever you need to do ... */

let methodFinish = NSDate()
let executionTime = methodFinish.timeIntervalSinceDate(methodStart)
print("Execution time: \(executionTime)")

Swift3:

let methodStart = Date()

/* ... Do whatever you need to do ... */

let methodFinish = Date()
let executionTime = methodFinish.timeIntervalSince(methodStart)
print("Execution time: \(executionTime)")

易于使用，具有亚毫秒精度。

我用这个:

clock_t start, end;
double elapsed;
start = clock();

//Start code to time

//End code to time

end = clock();
elapsed = ((double) (end - start)) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
NSLog(@"Time: %f",elapsed);

但我不确定iPhone上的CLOCKS_PER_SEC。你还是别打了吧。

我知道这是一个旧的，但即使我发现自己又一次徘徊在它旁边，所以我想在这里提交我自己的选择。

最好的办法是看看我的博客文章: 在Objective-C中计时:秒表

基本上，我写了一个类，它以非常基本的方式停止观看，但被封装，所以你只需要做以下事情:

[MMStopwatchARC start:@"My Timer"];
// your work here ...
[MMStopwatchARC stop:@"My Timer"];

最后你会得到:

MyApp[4090:15203]  -> Stopwatch: [My Timer] runtime: [0.029]

在日志里…

再一次，看看我的帖子，或者在这里下载: MMStopwatch.zip

一个在Swift 4中使用mach_absolute_time()的细粒度计时的例子:

let start = mach_absolute_time()

// do something

let elapsedMTU = mach_absolute_time() - start
var timebase = mach_timebase_info()
if mach_timebase_info(&timebase) == 0 {
    let elapsed = Double(elapsedMTU) * Double(timebase.numer) / Double(timebase.denom)
    print("render took \(elapsed)")
}
else {
    print("timebase error")
}
