(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。
(二)timer類
timer類可以測量時間的流逝,是一個小型的計時器,提供毫秒級別的計時精度和操作函數。它位於boost命名空間下。使用時需要包含頭文件:
include <boost/timer.hpp>
(1)timer的使用
#include <boost/timer.hpp>
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc,char * argv[]){
boost::timer t;
//獲取timer能夠表示的最大時間精度
std::cout<<"max timespan : "<<t.elapsed_max()/3600<<"h"<<std::endl;
//獲取timer能夠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,它的構造函數就啟動了計時工作,之後可以調用elapsed()函數獲得從對象創建到elapsed()函數調用這段時間間隔。

#define BOOST_TIMER_HPP
#include <boost/config.hpp>

// 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,這個宏在win32下值是1000,而在linux下值是1000000,也就是說它具體平台或編譯器相關,所以不適合跨平台使用,也不適合做大跨度時間的測量。
(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類似。
如果要在程序中測量一段代碼運行時間,可以將這段代碼用{}包含起來,同時在{}中一行代碼為定義一個progress_timer的對象。
{
boost::progress_timer t; //析構時自動輸出時間間隔(從對象創建到析構)
//do something...
}
(三)progress_display類
progress_display可以在控制台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>即可。
它是一個獨立的類,與timer和progress_timer沒有聯系。
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/progress.hpp>
int main(int argc,char * argv[]){
//聲明基數大小為100
boost::progress_display pd(100);
for(int i=0;i<100;i++){
++pd;
}
return 0;
}
