今天看书看到了关于alarm的一些用法,自己有在网上找了些资料看了下;
1。alarm()执行后,进程将继续执行,在后期(alarm以后)的执行过程中将会在seconds秒后收到信号SIGALRM并执行其处理函数。
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>
void sigalrm_fn(int sig)
{
printf("alarm!\n");
alarm(2);
return;
}
int main(void)
{
signal(SIGALRM, sigalrm_fn);
alarm(1);
while(1) pause();
}
2.alarm定时器,但是只能精确到秒,然而我们如果需要用到更精准的怎么办?
经过群里的大牛知道,看了下可以用setitimer
int setitimer(int which, const struct itimerval *value, struct itimerval *ovalue));
setitimer()比alarm功能强大,支持3种类型的定时器:
ITIMER_REAL : 以系统真实的时间来计算,它送出SIGALRM信号。
ITIMER_VIRTUAL : -以该进程在用户态下花费的时间来计算,它送出SIGVTALRM信号。
ITIMER_PROF : 以该进程在用户态下和内核态下所费的时间来计算,它送出SIGPROF信号。
setitimer()第一个参数which指定定时器类型(上面三种之一);第二个参数是结构itimerval的一个实例;第三个参数可不做处理。
setitimer()调用成功返回0,否则返回-1。
下面是关于setitimer调用的一个简单示范,在该例子中,每隔一秒发出一个SIGALRM,每隔0.5秒发出一个SIGVTALRM信号:[code=C/C++]
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
int sec;
void sigroutine(int signo){
switch (signo){
case SIGALRM:
printf("Catch a signal -- SIGALRM \n");
signal(SIGALRM, sigroutine);
break;
case SIGVTALRM:
printf("Catch a signal -- SIGVTALRM \n");
signal(SIGVTALRM, sigroutine);
break;
}
return;
}
int main()
{
struct itimerval value, ovalue, value2; //(1)
sec = 5;
printf("process id is %d\n", getpid());
signal(SIGALRM, sigroutine);
signal(SIGVTALRM, sigroutine);
value.it_value.tv_sec = 1;
value.it_value.tv_usec = 0;
value.it_interval.tv_sec = 1;
value.it_interval.tv_usec = 0;
setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, &value, &ovalue); //(2)
value2.it_value.tv_sec = 0;
value2.it_value.tv_usec = 500000;
value2.it_interval.tv_sec = 0;
value2.it_interval.tv_usec = 500000;
setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, &value2, &ovalue);
for(;;)
;
}
setitimer不会引起线程的阻塞、也不会引起线程的切换动作,就是简单的启动一个定时器,开始定时,而且这种定时应该是基于内核的,(windwos的settimer是基于一种消息的模型);setitimer虽然有三种类型ITIMER_REAL,ITIMER_VIRTUAL
ITIMER_PROF,但是在同一时间同一进程,一种类型的只能有1个setitimer;
如果我们需要多个定时器怎么办?

上面这段代码作者有这样的话
“老大建议我们在对精度要求较高的情况下使用select()作为定时器,最大的好处就是不会影响信号处理线程安全,而且精度能得到保证。在这个实验中,当时间延时时间较长时,select和pselect表现较差,当时间小于1毫秒时,他们的精确度便提高了,表现与usleep、nanosleep不相上下,有时精度甚至超过后者。
”
查了下上面4个函数,select,和sleep是可重入函数,在使用的时候会引起线程的切换;所以有“不会影响信号处理线程安全”而usleep,nanosleep,不可重入函数,程序是在暂停状态,也就是不能线程切换;但是不知道setitimer会不会记时;
