NSTimer的精确度

1、iOS中一般UI上面常用两种定时器 NSTimer和CADisplayLink，那么它们分别的精确度是如何呢？

　　CADisplayLink 是用于帧刷新定时器，也就是和界面的刷新率保持一致，理想情况下FPS为60，并尽力保持60

　　NSTimer是否可以比CADisplayLink更加精确呢，最精确能下面的间隔是多少呢？NSTimer和CADisplayLink都作为一种事件加入到NSRunloop的事件源中，

　　NSRunloop不断循环，判断是否应该触发这一类事件，如下面所示，NSRunloop包涵下面这些不同的事件：

　　

typedef CF_OPTIONS(CFOptionFlags, CFRunLoopActivity) {
    kCFRunLoopEntry         = (1UL << 0), // 即将进入Loop
    kCFRunLoopBeforeTimers  = (1UL << 1), // 即将处理 Timer
    kCFRunLoopBeforeSources = (1UL << 2), // 即将处理 Source
    kCFRunLoopBeforeWaiting = (1UL << 5), // 即将进入休眠
    kCFRunLoopAfterWaiting  = (1UL << 6), // 刚从休眠中唤醒
    kCFRunLoopExit          = (1UL << 7), // 即将退出Loop
};

　　可以看出，如果想让CADisplayLink正常工作，NSRunloop至少每秒循环60次，也就是至多17ms，那么NSRunloop每秒最多循环多少次呢？

2、NSRunloop每秒循环多少次

　　通过注册一个观察者到主线程中，观察每一种事件执行的log，来看看NSRunloop的执行情况

　　

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    // Override point for customization after application launch.
    
    CFRunLoopObserverRef observer = CFRunLoopObserverCreateWithHandler(NULL, (kCFRunLoopAllActivities), YES, 0, ^(CFRunLoopObserverRef observer, CFRunLoopActivity activity)
    {
        static unsigned long count = 0;
        
        if(activity & kCFRunLoopEntry)
        {
            NSLog(@"activity %lu: %@", ++count, @"kCFRunLoopEntry");
        }
        else if(activity & kCFRunLoopBeforeTimers)
        {
            NSLog(@"activity %lu: %@", ++count, @"kCFRunLoopBeforeTimers");
        }
        else if(activity & kCFRunLoopBeforeSources)
        {
            NSLog(@"activity %lu: %@", ++count, @"kCFRunLoopBeforeSources");
        }
        else if(activity & kCFRunLoopBeforeWaiting)
        {
            NSLog(@"activity %lu: %@", ++count, @"kCFRunLoopBeforeWaiting");
        }
        else if(activity & kCFRunLoopAfterWaiting)
        {
            NSLog(@"activity %lu: %@", ++count, @"kCFRunLoopAfterWaiting");
        }
        else if(activity & kCFRunLoopExit)
        {
            NSLog(@"activity %lu: %@", ++count, @"kCFRunLoopExit");
        }
    });
    CFRunLoopAddObserver(CFRunLoopGetMain(), observer, kCFRunLoopCommonModes);
    
    
    return YES;
}

　　这里打印出每一类的事件，同时需要加上两类定时器到主线程中

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    
   NSTimer *timer = [NSTimer timerWithTimeInterval:0.001 repeats:YES block:^(NSTimer * _Nonnull timer) {
      
       static int timerCount = 0;
       //do nothing
       NSLog(@"timer do nothing, timerCount = %d", timerCount++);
   }];
    
   [[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] addTimer:timer forMode:NSRunLoopCommonModes];
    
    
    CADisplayLink *link = [CADisplayLink displayLinkWithTarget:self selector:@selector(update:)];
    [link addToRunLoop:[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] forMode:NSRunLoopCommonModes];

    
}


- (void)update:(id)sender
{
    static int linkCount = 0;
    NSLog(@"link do nothing, linkCount = %d", linkCount++);
}

　　可以观察出每一类事件执行的情况，测试是在iphone5s， ios10.2的系统上

3、总结

　　可以看出来，CADisplayLink“尽量”保证17ms执行一次，主要看NSRunloop中有没有执行其它事件时被阻塞

　　NSTimer的触发周期最小可以和NSRunloop的循环保持一致，也就是由NSRunloop的执行周期决定，大概2～3ms

　　因此这也是NSTimer也是不精确的原因
