程序运行时间测试 - 使用libc 中 clock 函数

Posted 2022-07-30 xuyaowen

我们运行程序的时候，可以简单使用clock函数测试程序的运行时间：（本示例中以微秒为单位输出）

    char *p = str;
    int sum = 0;

        p++;
    
    return sum;


int main(int argc, char* argv[])
    clock_t start, stop;

    if (argc == 2)
    
        def = str2int(argv[argc-1]);
    
    start = clock();
    for (int i = 0; i < def ; i++)
    
        float tmp = sqrt(i);
    
    stop =  clock();
    double total =  stop - start; // 使用运行的时间
    printf("Clocks: %.1f\\n", total); // 总共使用的时钟
    printf("Time: %.1f us\\n", total*1e6/(CLOCKS_PER_SEC)); // 转换运行时间为微秒
    return 0;


/*
 * Approximates the processor time used by the program, 
 * since the beginning of an implementation-defined time 
 * period that is related to the program invocation. 
 * To measure the time spent in a program, call the clock() 
 * function at the start of the program, and subtract its 
 * returned value from the value returned by subsequent calls 
 * to clock(). Then, to obtain the time in seconds, divide 
 * the value returned by clock() by CLOCKS_PER_SEC.
 * 
 * If you use the system() function in your program, do not 
 * rely on clock() for program timing, because calls to system() 
 * may reset the clock.
 * 
 * In a multithread POSIX C application, if you are creating threads 
 * with a function that is based on a POSIX.4a draft standard, 
 * the clock() function is thread-scoped.
