(1)timer库的介绍

(一)timer库的简介
   timer是一个很小的库,提供简单的时间度量和进度显示功能,也可用于性能测试等计时任务。timer库包含三个组件:计时器类timer、progress_timer和进度指示类progress_display。

(二)timer类
   timer类可以测量时间的流逝,是一个小型的计时器,提供毫秒级别的计时精度和操作函数。它位于boost命名空间下。使用时需要包含头文件:

  include <boost/timer.hpp>

(1)timer的使用

#include <boost/timer.hpp>
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc,char * argv[]){
    boost::timer t;
    //获取timer能够表示的最大时间精度
    std::cout<<"max timespan : "<<t.elapsed_max()/3600<<"h"<<std::endl;
    //获取timer能够表示的最小时间精度
    std::cout<<"min timespan : "<<t.elapsed_min()<<"s"<<std::endl;
    std::cout<<"now time elapsed : "<<t.elapsed()<<"s"<<std::endl;
    return 0;
}

  timer对象一旦被声明,它的构造函数就启动了计时工作,之后可以调用elapsed()函数获得从对象创建到elapsed()函数调用这段时间间隔。

#ifndef BOOST_TIMER_HPP
#define BOOST_TIMER_HPP

#include <boost/config.hpp>
#include <ctime>
#include <boost/limits.hpp>

# ifdef BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE
    namespace std { using ::clock_t; using ::clock; }
# endif

namespace boost {

//  timer  -------------------------------------------------------------------//
//  A timer object measures elapsed time.
//  It is recommended that implementations measure wall clock rather than CPU
//  time since the intended use is performance measurement on systems where
//  total elapsed time is more important than just process or CPU time.

//  Warnings: The maximum measurable elapsed time may well be only 596.5+ hours
//  due to implementation limitations.  The accuracy of timings depends on the
//  accuracy of timing information provided by the underlying platform, and
//  this varies a great deal from platform to platform.

class timer
{
 public:
        timer() { _start_time = std::clock(); } // postcondition: elapsed()==0
//        timer( const timer& src );      // post: elapsed()==src.elapsed()
//        ~timer(){}
//  timer& operator=( const timer& src );  // post: elapsed()==src.elapsed()
  void  restart() { _start_time = std::clock(); } // post: elapsed()==0
  double elapsed() const                  // return elapsed time in seconds
    { return  double(std::clock() - _start_time) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC; }

double elapsed_max() const  // return estimated maximum value for elapsed()
  // Portability warning: elapsed_max() may return too high a value on systems
  // where std::clock_t overflows or resets at surprising values.
  {
    return (double((std::numeric_limits<std::clock_t>::max)())
      - double(_start_time)) / double(CLOCKS_PER_SEC);
  }

double elapsed_min() const            // return minimum value for elapsed()
  { return double(1)/double(CLOCKS_PER_SEC); }

private:
  std::clock_t _start_time;
}; // timer

} // namespace boost

#endif  // BOOST_TIMER_HPP

  注意:timer中使用了CLOCKS_PER_SEC宏,这个宏在win32下值是1000,而在linux下值是1000000,也就是说它具体平台或编译器相关,所以不适合跨平台使用,也不适合做大跨度时间的测量。

(二)progress_timer类
   progress_timer继承自timer,它在析构时自动输出时间。位于boost命名空间下,使用时包含头文件:#include <boost/progress.hpp>。其它用法和timer类似。

  如果要在程序中测量一段代码运行时间,可以将这段代码用{}包含起来,同时在{}中一行代码为定义一个progress_timer的对象。

{
    boost::progress_timer t; //析构时自动输出时间间隔(从对象创建到析构)
    //do something...
}
