到目前为止，我发现gettimeofday在iOS (iPad)上是一个很好的解决方案，当你想执行一些间隔评估(比如帧速率，渲染帧的计时……):

#include <sys/time.h>
struct timeval time;
gettimeofday(&time, NULL);
long millis = (time.tv_sec * 1000) + (time.tv_usec / 1000);

我需要一个NSNumber对象，包含[[NSDate date] timeIntervalSince1970]的确切结果。因为这个函数被调用了很多次，我并不真的需要创建一个NSDate对象，性能不是很好。

所以要得到原始函数给我的格式，试试这个:

#include <sys/time.h>
struct timeval tv;
gettimeofday(&tv,NULL);
double perciseTimeStamp = tv.tv_sec + tv.tv_usec * 0.000001;

这应该给你完全相同的结果[[NSDate date] timeIntervalSince1970]

在Swift中，我们可以创建一个函数，并如下所示

func getCurrentMillis()->Int64{
    return  Int64(NSDate().timeIntervalSince1970 * 1000)
}

var currentTime = getCurrentMillis()

虽然它在Swift 3.0中工作得很好，但我们可以修改和使用Date类而不是3.0中的NSDate

斯威夫特3.0

func getCurrentMillis()->Int64 {
    return Int64(Date().timeIntervalSince1970 * 1000)
}

var currentTime = getCurrentMillis()

CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent ()

Absolute time is measured in seconds relative to the absolute reference date of Jan 1 2001 00:00:00 GMT. A positive value represents a date after the reference date, a negative value represents a date before it. For example, the absolute time -32940326 is equivalent to December 16th, 1999 at 17:54:34. Repeated calls to this function do not guarantee monotonically increasing results. The system time may decrease due to synchronization with external time references or due to an explicit user change of the clock.

试试这个:

NSDate * timestamp = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:[[NSDate date] timeIntervalSince1970]];

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS"];

NSString *newDateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:timestamp];
timestamp = (NSDate*)newDateString;

在本例中，dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970与格式化程序@"YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss结合使用。它将返回带有年、月、日的日期和带有小时、分钟、秒和毫秒的时间。参见示例:"2015-12-02 04:43:15.008"。我使用NSString来确保格式之前已经写过。

// Timestamp after converting to milliseconds.

NSString * timeInMS = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%lld", [@(floor([date timeIntervalSince1970] * 1000)) longLongValue]];
