WINDOWS实现精确定时程序

一.原理及相关API

WINDOWS正确定时,不同的CPU频率可以指定同一时间间隔。

使用QueryPerformanceFrequency的API，指定每秒的频率。QueryPerformanceFrequencyFunction查询每秒的行为频率，这个频率在整个系统运行过程中不被改变。

The QueryPerformanceFrequency function retrieves thefrequency of the high-resolution performance counter, if oneexists. The frequency cannot change while the system isrunning.

Syntax

BOOL QueryPerformanceFrequency(      
    LARGE_INTEGER *lpFrequency);

Parameters

lpFrequency

[out] Pointer to a variable that receives thecurrent performance-counter frequency, in counts per second. If theinstalled hardware does not support a high-resolution performancecounter, this parameter can be zero.

Return Value

If the installed hardware supports a high-resolution performancecounter, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extendederror information, call GetLastError. Forexample, if the installed hardware does not support ahigh-resolution performance counter, the function fails.

Function Information
