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")
}

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。

对于OS X上的细粒度计时，您应该使用在<mach/mach_time.h>中声明的mach_absolute_time():

#include <mach/mach_time.h>
#include <stdint.h>

// Do some stuff to setup for timing
const uint64_t startTime = mach_absolute_time();
// Do some stuff that you want to time
const uint64_t endTime = mach_absolute_time();

// Time elapsed in Mach time units.
const uint64_t elapsedMTU = endTime - startTime;

// Get information for converting from MTU to nanoseconds
mach_timebase_info_data_t info;
if (mach_timebase_info(&info))
   handleErrorConditionIfYoureBeingCareful();

// Get elapsed time in nanoseconds:
const double elapsedNS = (double)elapsedMTU * (double)info.numer / (double)info.denom;

当然，关于细粒度度量的通常警告也适用;您可能最好多次调用测试中的例程，并求平均值/取最小值/一些其他形式的处理。

此外，请注意，您可能会发现使用Shark等工具对应用程序运行进行概要分析更有用。这不会为您提供确切的时间信息，但它会告诉您应用程序的时间在哪里花费了多少百分比，这通常更有用(但并不总是如此)。

这里有另一种方法，在Swift中，使用defer关键字来做到这一点

func methodName() {
  let methodStart = Date()
  defer {
    let executionTime = Date().timeIntervalSince(methodStart)
    print("Execution time: \(executionTime)")
  }
  // do your stuff here
}

来自苹果的文档:defer语句用于在将程序控制权转移到该defer语句出现的范围之外之前执行代码。

这类似于try/finally块，优点是将相关代码分组。

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]]];
}

struct TIME {

    static var ti = mach_timebase_info()
    static var k: Double = 1
    static var mach_stamp: Double {

        if ti.denom == 0 {
            mach_timebase_info(&ti)
            k = Double(ti.numer) / Double(ti.denom) * 1e-6
        }
        return Double(mach_absolute_time()) * k
    }
    static var stamp: Double { return NSDate.timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate() * 1000 }
}

do {
    let mach_start = TIME.mach_stamp
    usleep(200000)
    let mach_diff = TIME.mach_stamp - mach_start

    let start = TIME.stamp
    usleep(200000)
    let diff = TIME.stamp - start

    print(mach_diff, diff)
}
