Member Function Documentation

ACE_Event_Handler::Reference_Count ACE_Event_Handler::add_reference ( void ) [virtual]

int ACE_Event_Handler::priority ( void ) const [virtual]

Get the priority of the Event_Handler.

Note:: Priorities run from MIN_PRIORITY (which is the "lowest priority") to MAX_PRIORITY (which is the "highest priority").

Get only the reactor's timer related interface.

ACE_THR_FUNC_RETURN ACE_Event_Handler::read_adapter ( void * event_handler ) [static]

Used to read from non-socket ACE_HANDLEs in our own thread to work around Win32 limitations that don't allow us to <select> on non-sockets (such as ACE_STDIN). This is commonly used in situations where the Reactor is used to demultiplex read events on ACE_STDIN on UNIX. Note that event_handler must be a subclass of ACE_Event_Handler. If the get_handle() method of this event handler returns ACE_INVALID_HANDLE we default to reading from ACE_STDIN.

ACE_Event_Handler::Reference_Counting_Policy & ACE_Event_Handler::reference_counting_policy ( void )

Current Reference_Counting_Policy.

int ACE_Event_Handler::register_stdin_handler	(	ACE_Event_Handler *	eh,
		ACE_Reactor *	reactor,
		ACE_Thread_Manager *	thr_mgr,
		int	flags = `THR_DETACHED`
	)		`[static]`

Abstracts away from the differences between Win32 and ACE with respect to reading from ACE_STDIN, which is non-<select>'able on Win32.

ACE_Event_Handler::Reference_Count ACE_Event_Handler::remove_reference ( void ) [virtual]

Decrement reference count on the handler.

This method is called when the handler is removed from the Reactor and when an upcall made on the handler by the Reactor completes. Handler is deleted when the reference count reaches 0.

Returns:: Current reference count.

int ACE_Event_Handler::remove_stdin_handler	(	ACE_Reactor *	reactor,
		ACE_Thread_Manager *	thr_mgr
	)		`[static]`

Performs the inverse of the register_stdin_handler() method.

int ACE_Event_Handler::resume_handler ( void ) [virtual]

Called to figure out whether the handler needs to resumed by the reactor or the application can take care of it. The default value of 0 would be returned which would allow the reactor to take care of resumption of the handler. The application can return a value more than zero and decide to resume the handler themselves.
