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));

  high_resolution_clock::time_point t2 = high_resolution_clock::now();
  double dif = duration_cast<nanoseconds>( t2 - t1 ).count();
  printf ("Elasped time is %lf nanoseconds.\n", dif );
}

void f2()
{
  timespec ts1,ts2;
  clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &ts1);

仅限Windows:(Linux标签是在我发布这个答案后添加的)

您可以使用GetTickCount()来获取自系统启动以来所经过的毫秒数。

long int before = GetTickCount();

// Perform time-consuming operation

long int after = GetTickCount();

这两个值相同的原因是因为您的长过程不需要那么长时间—不到一秒。你可以试着添加一个长循环(for (int i = 0;I < 100000000;i++);)在函数的末尾确保这是问题所在，然后我们可以从那里…

如果上面的情况是正确的，你将需要找到一个不同的系统函数(我知道你在linux上工作，所以我不能帮助你知道函数名称)来更准确地测量时间。我相信在linux中有一个类似于GetTickCount()的函数，你只需要找到它。

下面是一个简单的类，它将在指定的持续时间单位内打印它进入和离开作用域之间的持续时间:

#include <chrono>
#include <iostream> 

template <typename T>
class Benchmark
{
   public:
    Benchmark(std::string name) : start(std::chrono::steady_clock::now()), name(name) {}
    ~Benchmark()
    {
        auto end = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
        T duration = std::chrono::duration_cast<T>(end - start);
        std::cout << "Bench \"" << name << "\" took: " << duration.count() << " units" << std::endl;
    }

   private:
    std::string name;
    std::chrono::time_point<std::chrono::steady_clock> start;

};
int main()
{
  Benchmark<std::chrono::nanoseconds> bench("for loop");
  for(int i = 0; i < 1001000; i++){}
}

使用示例:

int main()
{
  Benchmark<std::chrono::nanoseconds> bench("for loop");
  for(int i = 0; i < 100000; i++){}
}

输出:

Bench "for loop" took: 230656 units

#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
