std::difftime(3) C++ Standard Libary std::difftime(3) NAME std::difftime - std::difftime Synopsis Defined in header <ctime> double difftime( std::time_t time_end, std::time_t time_beg ); Computes difference between two calendar times as std::time_t objects (time_end - time_beg) in seconds. If time_end refers to time point before time_beg then the result is negative. Parameters time_beg, time_end - times to compare Return value Difference between two times in seconds. Notes On POSIX systems, std::time_t is measured in seconds, and difftime is equivalent to arithmetic subtraction, but C and C++ allow fractional units for time_t. Example // Run this code #include <ctime> #include <iostream> int main() { std::time_t start = std::time(nullptr); volatile double d = 1.0; // some time-consuming operation for (int p = 0; p < 10000; ++p) for (int q = 0; q < 100000; ++q) d = d + p * d * q + d; std::cout << "Wall time passed: " << std::difftime(std::time(nullptr), start) << " s.\n"; } Possible output: Wall time passed: 9 s.
