High resolution timer with C++ and Linux?

Under Windows there are some handy functions like QueryPerformanceCounter from mmsystem.h to create a high resolution timer. Is there something similar for Linux?

Solution

  • It's been asked before here -- but basically, there is a boost ptime function you can use, or a POSIX clock_gettime() function which can serve basically the same purpose.
