正如我从你的问题中看到的，看起来你想知道执行某段代码后所花费的时间。我猜你会很乐意在几秒钟内看到结果。如果是，尝试使用如下所示的difftime()函数。希望这能解决你的问题。

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

time_t start,end;
time (&start);
.
.
.
<your code>
.
.
.
time (&end);
double dif = difftime (end,start);
printf ("Elasped time is %.2lf seconds.", dif );

#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 

time(NULL)函数将返回从1970年1月1日00:00开始经过的秒数。因为这个函数在程序中不同的时间被调用，所以它总是不同的 c++中的时间

#include <ctime>
#include <functional>

using namespace std;

void f() {
  clock_t begin = clock();

  // ...code to measure time...

  clock_t end = clock();

  function<double(double, double)> convtime = [](clock_t begin, clock_t end)
  {
     return double(end - begin) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
  };

  printf("Elapsed time: %.2g sec\n", convtime(begin, end));

}

类似的例子，一个可用在这里，只有额外的转换功能+打印出来。

time(NULL)函数调用将返回自epoc: 1970年1月1日以来经过的秒数。也许你要做的是取两个时间戳的差值:

size_t start = time(NULL);
doSomthing();
doSomthingLong();

printf ("**MyProgram::time elapsed= %lds\n", time(NULL) - start);

struct profiler
{
    std::string name;
    std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::time_point p;
    profiler(std::string const &n) :
        name(n), p(std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now()) { }
    ~profiler()
    {
        using dura = std::chrono::duration<double>;
        auto d = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now() - p;
        std::cout << name << ": "
            << std::chrono::duration_cast<dura>(d).count()
            << std::endl;
    }
};

#define PROFILE_BLOCK(pbn) profiler _pfinstance(pbn)

用法如下:

{
    PROFILE_BLOCK("Some time");
    // your code or function
}

这在范围上类似于RAII
