我试图使用时间()来测量我的程序的各个点。

我不明白的是为什么前后的值是一样的?我知道这不是分析我的程序的最佳方式,我只是想看看需要多长时间。

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

doSomthing();
doSomthingLong();

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

我试过:

struct timeval diff, startTV, endTV;

gettimeofday(&startTV, NULL); 

doSomething();
doSomethingLong();

gettimeofday(&endTV, NULL); 

timersub(&endTV, &startTV, &diff);

printf("**time taken = %ld %ld\n", diff.tv_sec, diff.tv_usec);

我如何读取**时间花费= 0 26339的结果?这是否意味着26339纳秒= 26.3毫秒?

**时间= 4 45025,这是否意味着4秒25毫秒?

使用delta函数计算时间差:

auto start = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
std::cout << "Elapsed(ms)=" << since(start).count() << std::endl;

Since接受任何时间点并产生任何持续时间(毫秒为默认值)。它的定义为:

template <
    class result_t   = std::chrono::milliseconds,
    class clock_t    = std::chrono::steady_clock,
    class duration_t = std::chrono::milliseconds
>
auto since(std::chrono::time_point<clock_t, duration_t> const& start)
{
    return std::chrono::duration_cast<result_t>(clock_t::now() - start);
}

使用基于std::chrono的计时器:

Timer clock; // Timer<milliseconds, steady_clock>

clock.tick();
/* code you want to measure */
clock.tock();

cout << "Run time = " << clock.duration().count() << " ms\n";

Demo

定时器定义为:

template <class DT = std::chrono::milliseconds,
          class ClockT = std::chrono::steady_clock>
class Timer
{
    using timep_t = typename ClockT::time_point;
    timep_t _start = ClockT::now(), _end = {};

public:
    void tick() { 
        _end = timep_t{}; 
        _start = ClockT::now(); 
    }
    
    void tock() { _end = ClockT::now(); }
    
    template <class T = DT> 
    auto duration() const { 
        gsl_Expects(_end != timep_t{} && "toc before reporting"); 
        return std::chrono::duration_cast<T>(_end - _start); 
    }
};

正如Howard Hinnant指出的那样,我们使用一个持续时间来保持在chrono类型系统中,并执行诸如平均或比较之类的操作(例如,这里这意味着使用std::chrono::milliseconds)。当我们只是执行IO时,我们使用持续时间的count()或tick(例如这里的毫秒数)。

任何可调用对象(函数、函数对象、lambda等)都可以用于基准测试。假设你有一个函数F调用参数arg1,arg2,这个技术会导致:

cout << "F runtime=" << measure<>::duration(F, arg1, arg2).count() << "ms";

Demo

度量定义为:

template <class TimeT  = std::chrono::milliseconds
          class ClockT = std::chrono::steady_clock>
struct measure
{
    template<class F, class ...Args>
    static auto duration(F&& func, Args&&... args)
    {
        auto start = ClockT::now();
        std::invoke(std::forward<F>(func), std::forward<Args>(args)...);
        return std::chrono::duration_cast<TimeT>(ClockT::now()-start);
    }
};

正如在(1)中提到的,使用持续时间w/o .count()对于那些希望在I/ o之前对一堆持续时间进行后处理的客户端是最有用的,例如average:

auto avg = (measure<>::duration(func) + measure<>::duration(func)) / 2;
std::cout << "Average run time " << avg.count() << " ms\n";

+这就是为什么被转发的函数调用。

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。

c++ std::chrono具有跨平台的明显优势。 然而,与POSIX clock_gettime()相比,它也引入了显著的开销。 在我的Linux机器上,所有std::chrono::xxx_clock::now()味道的执行大致相同:

std::chrono::system_clock::now()
std::chrono::steady_clock::now()
std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now()

虽然POSIX clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &time)应该与steady_clock::now()相同,但它要快x3倍以上!

这是我的测试,为了完整性。

#include <stdio.h>
#include <chrono>
#include <ctime>

void print_timediff(const char* prefix, const struct timespec& start, const 
struct timespec& end)
{
    double milliseconds = end.tv_nsec >= start.tv_nsec
                        ? (end.tv_nsec - start.tv_nsec) / 1e6 + (end.tv_sec - start.tv_sec) * 1e3
                        : (start.tv_nsec - end.tv_nsec) / 1e6 + (end.tv_sec - start.tv_sec - 1) * 1e3;
    printf("%s: %lf milliseconds\n", prefix, milliseconds);
}

int main()
{
    int i, n = 1000000;
    struct timespec start, end;

    // Test stopwatch
    clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &start);
    for (i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
        struct timespec dummy;
        clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &dummy);
    }
    clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &end);
    print_timediff("clock_gettime", start, end);

    // Test chrono system_clock
    clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &start);
    for (i = 0; i < n; ++i)
        auto dummy = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
    clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &end);
    print_timediff("chrono::system_clock::now", start, end);

    // Test chrono steady_clock
    clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &start);
    for (i = 0; i < n; ++i)
        auto dummy = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
    clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &end);
    print_timediff("chrono::steady_clock::now", start, end);

    // Test chrono high_resolution_clock
    clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &start);
    for (i = 0; i < n; ++i)
        auto dummy = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &end);
    print_timediff("chrono::high_resolution_clock::now", start, end);

    return 0;
}

这是我用gcc7.2 -O3编译时得到的输出:

clock_gettime: 24.484926 milliseconds
chrono::system_clock::now: 85.142108 milliseconds
chrono::steady_clock::now: 87.295347 milliseconds
chrono::high_resolution_clock::now: 84.437838 milliseconds

在linux上,clock_gettime()是一个很好的选择。 必须链接实时库(-lrt)。

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

#define BILLION  1000000000L;

int main( int argc, char **argv )
  {
    struct timespec start, stop;
    double accum;

    if( clock_gettime( CLOCK_REALTIME, &start) == -1 ) {
      perror( "clock gettime" );
      exit( EXIT_FAILURE );
    }

    system( argv[1] );

    if( clock_gettime( CLOCK_REALTIME, &stop) == -1 ) {
      perror( "clock gettime" );
      exit( EXIT_FAILURE );
    }

    accum = ( stop.tv_sec - start.tv_sec )
          + ( stop.tv_nsec - start.tv_nsec )
            / BILLION;
    printf( "%lf\n", accum );
    return( EXIT_SUCCESS );

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();
