(一)timer庫的簡介
timer是一個很小的庫,提供簡單的時間度量和進度顯示功能,也可用於性能測試等計時任務。timer庫包含三個組件:計時器類timer、progress_timer和進度指示類progress_display。linux
(二)timer類
timer類能夠測量時間的流逝,是一個小型的計時器,提供毫秒級別的計時精度和操做函數。它位於boost命名空間下。使用時須要包含頭文件:ios
include <boost/timer.hpp>ide
(1)timer的使用
函數
#include <boost/timer.hpp> #include <iostream> int main(int argc,char * argv[]){ boost::timer t; //獲取timer可以表示的最大時間精度 std::cout<<"max timespan : "<<t.elapsed_max()/3600<<"h"<<std::endl; //獲取timer可以表示的最小時間精度 std::cout<<"min timespan : "<<t.elapsed_min()<<"s"<<std::endl; std::cout<<"now time elapsed : "<<t.elapsed()<<"s"<<std::endl; return 0; }
timer對象一旦被聲明,它的構造函數就啓動了計時工做,以後能夠調用elapsed()函數得到從對象建立到elapsed()函數調用這段時間間隔。post
(2)timer的源碼性能

注意:timer中使用了CLOCKS_PER_SEC宏,這個宏在win32下值是1000,而在linux下值是1000000,也就是說它具體平臺或編譯器相關,因此不適合跨平臺使用,也不適合作大跨度時間的測量。測試
(二)progress_timer類
progress_timer繼承自timer,它在析構時自動輸出時間。位於boost命名空間下,使用時包含頭文件:#include <boost/progress.hpp>。其它用法和timer相似。ui
若是要在程序中測量一段代碼運行時間,能夠將這段代碼用{}包含起來,同時在{}中一行代碼爲定義一個progress_timer的對象。this
{ boost::progress_timer t; //析構時自動輸出時間間隔(從對象建立到析構) //do something... }
(三)progress_display類
progress_display能夠在控制檯上顯示程序的執行進度。位於boost命名空間下,使用時加入頭文件:#include <boost/progress.hpp>便可。spa
它是一個獨立的類,與timer和progress_timer沒有聯繫。
#include <iostream> #include <boost/progress.hpp> int main(int argc,char * argv[]){ //聲明基數大小爲100 boost::progress_display pd(100); for(int i=0;i<100;i++){ ++pd; } return 0; }
