__rdtsc

Visual Studio 2005

Microsoft Specific

Generates the rdtsc instruction, which returns the processor time stamp. The processor time stamp records the number of clock cycles since the last reset.

Copy 

unsigned __int64 __rdtsc(void);

A 64-bit unsigned integer representing a tick count.

Intrinsic Architecture

__rdtsc

x86, x64

Header file <intrin.h>

This routine is only available as an intrinsic.

Copy 
// rdtsc.cpp
// processor: x86, x64
#include <stdio.h>
#include <intrin.h>

#pragma intrinsic(__rdtsc)

int main()
{
    unsigned __int64 i;
    i = __rdtsc();
    printf_s("%I64d ticks\n", i);
}

Sample Output

3363423610155519 ticks
