Matt的语法非常好，如果你需要使块失效，你可能想使用这个:

typealias dispatch_cancelable_closure = (cancel : Bool) -> Void

func delay(time:NSTimeInterval, closure:()->Void) ->  dispatch_cancelable_closure? {

    func dispatch_later(clsr:()->Void) {
        dispatch_after(
            dispatch_time(
                DISPATCH_TIME_NOW,
                Int64(time * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC))
            ),
            dispatch_get_main_queue(), clsr)
    }

    var closure:dispatch_block_t? = closure
    var cancelableClosure:dispatch_cancelable_closure?

    let delayedClosure:dispatch_cancelable_closure = { cancel in
        if closure != nil {
            if (cancel == false) {
                dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), closure!);
            }
        }
        closure = nil
        cancelableClosure = nil
    }

    cancelableClosure = delayedClosure

    dispatch_later {
        if let delayedClosure = cancelableClosure {
            delayedClosure(cancel: false)
        }
    }

    return cancelableClosure;
}

func cancel_delay(closure:dispatch_cancelable_closure?) {

    if closure != nil {
        closure!(cancel: true)
    }
}

使用方法如下

let retVal = delay(2.0) {
    println("Later")
}
delay(1.0) {
    cancel_delay(retVal)
}

保留当前队列!

除了很好地回答这个问题之外，您还可以考虑保留当前队列以防止不必要的主队列操作(例如，当您试图延迟一些异步操作时)。

func after(_ delay: TimeInterval,
           perform block: @escaping ()->(),
           on queue: DispatchQueue = OperationQueue.current?.underlyingQueue ?? .main) { // So this `queue` preserves the current queue and defaulted to the `main`. Also the caller can pass in the desired queue explicitly
    queue.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + delay, execute: block)
}

用法:

after(3) {
    // will be executed on the caller's queue
    print(Date())
}

Apple为Objective-C提供了dispatch_after代码段:

dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, (int64_t)(<#delayInSeconds#> * NSEC_PER_SEC)), dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
    <#code to be executed after a specified delay#>
});

以下是移植到Swift 3的相同代码片段:

DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: DispatchTime.now() + <#delayInSeconds#>) {
  <#code to be executed after a specified delay#>
}

另一种方法是像这样扩展Double:

extension Double {
   var dispatchTime: dispatch_time_t {
       get {
           return dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW,Int64(self * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC)))
       }
   }
}

然后你可以这样使用它:

dispatch_after(Double(2.0).dispatchTime, dispatch_get_main_queue(), { () -> Void in
            self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
    })

我喜欢matt的延迟函数，但只是出于偏好，我宁愿限制传递闭包。

以下是Swift中asyncAfter的同步版本:

let deadline = DispatchTime.now() + .seconds(3)
let semaphore = DispatchSemaphore.init(value: 0)
DispatchQueue.global().asyncAfter(deadline: deadline) {
    dispatchPrecondition(condition: .onQueue(DispatchQueue.global()))
    semaphore.signal()
}

semaphore.wait()

与异步的一起:

let deadline = DispatchTime.now() + .seconds(3)
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: deadline) {
    dispatchPrecondition(condition: .onQueue(DispatchQueue.global()))
}

在swift中使用asyncAfter延迟GCD调用

let delayQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "com.theappmaker.in", qos: .userInitiated)
let additionalTime: DispatchTimeInterval = .seconds(2)

我们可以延迟为**微秒，毫秒，纳秒

delayQueue.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.60) {
    print(Date())
}

delayQueue.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + additionalTime) {
    print(Date())
}
