下面是一个在Windows和Linux以及C和C++上都能工作的复制粘贴解决方案。

正如评论中所提到的，有一个boost库可以做到这一点。但如果您不能使用boost，那么这应该可以:

//  Windows
#ifdef _WIN32
#include <Windows.h>
double get_wall_time(){
    LARGE_INTEGER time,freq;
    if (!QueryPerformanceFrequency(&freq)){
        //  Handle error
        return 0;
    }
    if (!QueryPerformanceCounter(&time)){
        //  Handle error
        return 0;
    }
    return (double)time.QuadPart / freq.QuadPart;
}
double get_cpu_time(){
    FILETIME a,b,c,d;
    if (GetProcessTimes(GetCurrentProcess(),&a,&b,&c,&d) != 0){
        //  Returns total user time.
        //  Can be tweaked to include kernel times as well.
        return
            (double)(d.dwLowDateTime |
            ((unsigned long long)d.dwHighDateTime << 32)) * 0.0000001;
    }else{
        //  Handle error
        return 0;
    }
}

//  Posix/Linux
#else
#include <time.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
double get_wall_time(){
    struct timeval time;
    if (gettimeofday(&time,NULL)){
        //  Handle error
        return 0;
    }
    return (double)time.tv_sec + (double)time.tv_usec * .000001;
}
double get_cpu_time(){
    return (double)clock() / CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
}
#endif

有许多方法来实现这些时钟。但是下面是上面的代码片段所使用的:

对于Windows:

对于Linux:

下面是一个小的演示:

#include <math.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(){

    //  Start Timers
    double wall0 = get_wall_time();
    double cpu0  = get_cpu_time();

    //  Perform some computation.
    double sum = 0;
#pragma omp parallel for reduction(+ : sum)
    for (long long i = 1; i < 10000000000; i++){
        sum += log((double)i);
    }

    //  Stop timers
    double wall1 = get_wall_time();
    double cpu1  = get_cpu_time();

    cout << "Wall Time = " << wall1 - wall0 << endl;
    cout << "CPU Time  = " << cpu1  - cpu0  << endl;

    //  Prevent Code Elimination
    cout << endl;
    cout << "Sum = " << sum << endl;

}

输出（12个线程）:

Wall Time = 15.7586
CPU Time  = 178.719

Sum = 2.20259e+011

C++11。写起来容易多了！

将用于挂钟，将用于cpu时钟http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/chrono/system_clock

#include <cstdio>
#include <ctime>
#include <chrono>

.... 

std::clock_t startcputime = std::clock();
do_some_fancy_stuff();
double cpu_duration = (std::clock() - startcputime) / (double)CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
std::cout << "Finished in " << cpu_duration << " seconds [CPU Clock] " << std::endl;


auto wcts = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
do_some_fancy_stuff();
std::chrono::duration<double> wctduration = (std::chrono::system_clock::now() - wcts);
std::cout << "Finished in " << wctduration.count() << " seconds [Wall Clock]" << std::endl;

好吧，简单便携！不需要ifdef_win32或linux！

如果需要更高精度，甚至可以使用http://en.cpPreference.com/w/cpp/chrono/HIGH_RESOLUTION_CLOCK

下面给出一个@lip's建议使用的具体例子（用Boost 1.51测试）:

#include <boost/timer/timer.hpp>

// this is wallclock AND cpu time
boost::timer::cpu_timer timer;

... run some computation ...

boost::timer::cpu_times elapsed = timer.elapsed();
std::cout << " CPU TIME: " << (elapsed.user + elapsed.system) / 1e9 << " seconds"
          << " WALLCLOCK TIME: " << elapsed.wall / 1e9 << " seconds"
          << std::endl;
