find c++ execution time

Question

I am curious if there is a build-in function in C++ for measuring the execution time? I am using Windows at the moment. In Linux it\'s pretty easy...

Answer 1

C++ has no built-in functions for high-granularity measuring code execution time, you have to resort to platform-specific code. For Windows try QueryPerformanceCounter: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms644904(VS.85).aspx
