GCD Timer事件的精度

一、测试环境

　　iPhoneX 真机+Debug模式，Timer代码工作在主线程，主线程空闲不阻塞

　　在子线程统计每3秒tick计数，逐步减小inteval，看能达到多大精度。

　　忽略原子计数值操作的影响　

二、测试代码

　　

@interface ViewController ()

@property (nonatomic, strong)   dispatch_source_t timer;
@property (atomic, assign)   NSInteger   count;
@property (nonatomic, strong)   NSDate *startDate;

@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    [self testTimer];
    [self dumpResult];
}

- (void)setupTimer
{
    _startDate = [NSDate date];

    _timer = dispatch_source_create(DISPATCH_SOURCE_TYPE_TIMER, 0, 0, dispatch_get_main_queue());

    dispatch_source_set_timer(_timer,
                              dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, 1 * NSEC_PER_SEC),
                              10 * NSEC_PER_USEC,
                              0);

    dispatch_source_set_event_handler(_timer, ^{
        self.count++;
    });
    dispatch_resume(_timer);
}

- (void)dumpResult
{
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(0, 0), ^{
        while (YES) {
            [NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:3];
            NSLog(@"%lf per second", self->_count * 1.0 / [[NSDate date] timeIntervalSinceDate:_startDate] );
            self.count = 0;
            _startDate = [NSDate date];
        }
    });
}

- (void)testTimer
{
    [self setupTimer];
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

@end

　　

　　间隔分别设置为1000us，100us，10us，对应结果如下；
