Time.now与Time.new在Ruby中

Question

Time.now和Time.new(没有参数)之间有什么区别吗？可能是内存管理方面的差异还是一些小细节？

Answer 1

没有区别.

Time.now是:: new的别名.返回初始化为当前系统时间的Time对象.

Answer 2

now是别名new.它们之间没有区别.杰夫的价格得到回答(他的回答也是正确的,如果你愿意的话请投票给他答案)首先,因为我正在编写并运行这个基准:

自己运行基准:

n = 1000000

5.times do 
  Benchmark.bmbm(40) do |x|
    x.report("Time.new"){ n.times { Time.new } }
    x.report("Time.now"){ n.times { Time.now } }
  end
end
