它们是一样的，因为doSomething函数发生得比计时器的粒度快。试一试:

printf ("**MyProgram::before time= %ld\n", time(NULL));

for(i = 0; i < 1000; ++i) {
    doSomthing();
    doSomthingLong();
}

printf ("**MyProgram::after time= %ld\n", time(NULL));

#include<time.h> // for clock
#include<math.h> // for fmod
#include<cstdlib> //for system
#include <stdio.h> //for delay

using namespace std;

int main()
{


   clock_t t1,t2;

   t1=clock(); // first time capture

   // Now your time spanning loop or code goes here
   // i am first trying to display time elapsed every time loop runs

   int ddays=0; // d prefix is just to say that this variable will be used for display
   int dhh=0;
   int dmm=0;
   int dss=0;

   int loopcount = 1000 ; // just for demo your loop will be different of course

   for(float count=1;count<loopcount;count++)
   {

     t2=clock(); // we get the time now

     float difference= (((float)t2)-((float)t1)); // gives the time elapsed since t1 in milliseconds

    // now get the time elapsed in seconds

    float seconds = difference/1000; // float value of seconds
    if (seconds<(60*60*24)) // a day is not over
    {
        dss = fmod(seconds,60); // the remainder is seconds to be displayed
        float minutes= seconds/60;  // the total minutes in float
        dmm= fmod(minutes,60);  // the remainder are minutes to be displayed
        float hours= minutes/60; // the total hours in float
        dhh= hours;  // the hours to be displayed
        ddays=0;
    }
    else // we have reached the counting of days
    {
        float days = seconds/(24*60*60);
        ddays = (int)(days);
        float minutes= seconds/60;  // the total minutes in float
        dmm= fmod(minutes,60);  // the rmainder are minutes to be displayed
        float hours= minutes/60; // the total hours in float
        dhh= fmod (hours,24);  // the hours to be displayed

    }

    cout<<"Count Is : "<<count<<"Time Elapsed : "<<ddays<<" Days "<<dhh<<" hrs "<<dmm<<" mins "<<dss<<" secs";


    // the actual working code here,I have just put a delay function
    delay(1000);
    system("cls");

 } // end for loop

}// end of main 

我需要测量库中各个函数的执行时间。我不希望每个函数的每次调用都用一个时间度量函数来包装，因为这样做很难看，而且会加深调用堆栈。我也不想把定时器代码放在每个函数的顶部和底部，因为当函数可能提前退出或抛出异常时，这会造成混乱。所以我最终做了一个计时器，用它自己的生命周期来测量时间。

通过这种方式，我可以测量一个代码块的wallall时间，方法是在有问题的代码块(函数或任何作用域)的开头实例化这些对象之一，然后允许实例析构函数测量实例超出作用域时自构造以来所花费的时间。你可以在这里找到完整的例子，但结构体非常简单:

template <typename clock_t = std::chrono::steady_clock>
struct scoped_timer {
  using duration_t = typename clock_t::duration;
  const std::function<void(const duration_t&)> callback;
  const std::chrono::time_point<clock_t> start;

  scoped_timer(const std::function<void(const duration_t&)>& finished_callback) :
      callback(finished_callback), start(clock_t::now()) { }
  scoped_timer(std::function<void(const duration_t&)>&& finished_callback) :
      callback(finished_callback), start(clock_t::now()) { }
  ~scoped_timer() { callback(clock_t::now() - start); }
};

当函数超出作用域时，该结构体将回调所提供的函数，这样您就可以对计时信息做一些事情(打印它或存储它或其他什么)。如果你需要做一些更复杂的事情，你甚至可以使用std::bind和std::占位符来回调函数。

下面是一个快速使用它的例子:

void test(bool should_throw) {
  scoped_timer<> t([](const scoped_timer<>::duration_t& elapsed) {
    auto e = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::duration<double, std::milli>>(elapsed).count();
    std::cout << "took " << e << "ms" << std::endl;
  });

  std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(1));

  if (should_throw)
    throw nullptr;

  std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(1));
}

如果您希望更加谨慎，还可以使用new和delete显式地启动和停止计时器，而不依赖于作用域。

time(NULL)返回从1970年01月01日00:00 (Epoch)开始经过的秒数。所以这两个值之间的差就是处理所花费的秒数。

int t0 = time(NULL);
doSomthing();
doSomthingLong();
int t1 = time(NULL);

printf ("time = %d secs\n", t1 - t0);

使用getttimeofday()可以得到更好的结果，它返回以秒为单位的当前时间，就像time()一样，也以微秒为单位。

//***C++11 Style:***
#include <chrono>

std::chrono::steady_clock::time_point begin = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
std::chrono::steady_clock::time_point end = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();

std::cout << "Time difference = " << std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::microseconds>(end - begin).count() << "[µs]" << std::endl;
std::cout << "Time difference = " << std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::nanoseconds> (end - begin).count() << "[ns]" << std::endl;

Matlab味!

Tic启动一个秒表来测量性能。该功能记录执行tic命令时的内部时间。使用toc函数显示运行时间。

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include <thread>
using namespace std;

clock_t START_TIMER;

clock_t tic()
{
    return START_TIMER = clock();
}

void toc(clock_t start = START_TIMER)
{
    cout
        << "Elapsed time: "
        << (clock() - start) / (double)CLOCKS_PER_SEC << "s"
        << endl;
}

int main()
{
    tic();
    this_thread::sleep_for(2s);
    toc();

    return 0;
}
