闲来生雅趣,无事乐逍遥。对窗相望雪,一盏茶香飘。

gettimeofday和clock_gettime

#Timeout #Watchdog @Program

本文用来记录一下gettimeofday和clock_gettime的重要不同点。 参照如下的例子程序:

/*
 * gcc t.c -o t -lrt 
 */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

#include <time.h>
#include <sys/time.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    struct timeval now;
    struct timespec tp;
    struct timezone zone;

    int h, m, s;

    system("date +'%H:%M:%S'");

    gettimeofday(&now, &zone);
    h = now.tv_sec / 60 / 60 % 24;
    m = now.tv_sec / 60 % 60;
    s = now.tv_sec % 60;
    printf("gettimeofday : %02d:%02d:%02d\n", h, m, s);

    clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, &tp);
    h = tp.tv_sec / 60 / 60 % 24;
    m = tp.tv_sec / 60 % 60;
    s = tp.tv_sec % 60;
    printf("clock_gettime : %02d:%02d:%02d\n", h, m, s);

    now.tv_sec += 60 * 10;
    settimeofday(&now, &zone);

    printf("\n======================\n\n");

    system("date +'%H:%M:%S'");

    gettimeofday(&now, &zone);
    h = now.tv_sec / 60 / 60 % 24;
    m = now.tv_sec / 60 % 60;
    s = now.tv_sec % 60;
    printf("gettimeofday : %02d:%02d:%02d\n", h, m, s);

    clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, &tp);
    h = tp.tv_sec / 60 / 60 % 24;
    m = tp.tv_sec / 60 % 60;
    s = tp.tv_sec % 60;
    printf("clock_gettime : %02d:%02d:%02d\n", h, m, s);

    return 0;
}

运行结果如下所示:

17:08:42
gettimeofday : 09:08:42
clock_gettime : 17:42:18

======================

17:08:42
gettimeofday : 09:08:42
clock_gettime : 17:42:18

可以看到,随着系统时间的改变,clock_gettime并没有受到影响。

这对于我们在代码中需要处理的各种延迟、WatchDog等会变得更加有利。
