Detailed Description

template<class TYPE, class FUNCTOR, class ACE_LOCK, typename TIME_POLICY = ACE_Default_Time_Policy>
class ACE_Timer_Heap_T< TYPE, FUNCTOR, ACE_LOCK, TIME_POLICY >

Provides a very fast and predictable timer implementation.

This implementation uses a heap-based callout queue of absolute times. Therefore, in the average and worst case, scheduling, canceling, and expiring timers is O(log N) (where N is the total number of timers). In addition, we can also preallocate as many ACE_Timer_Node objects as there are slots in the heap. This allows us to completely remove the need for dynamic memory allocation, which is important for real-time systems.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class TYPE , class FUNCTOR , class ACE_LOCK , typename TIME_POLICY >

ACE_Timer_Heap_T< TYPE, FUNCTOR, ACE_LOCK, TIME_POLICY >::ACE_Timer_Heap_T	(	size_t	size,
		bool	preallocated = false,
		FUNCTOR *	upcall_functor = 0,
		ACE_Free_List< ACE_Timer_Node_T< TYPE > > *	freelist = 0,
		TIME_POLICY const &	time_policy = TIME_POLICY()
	)

The Constructor creates a heap with specified number of elements. This can also take in a upcall functor and freelist (if 0, then defaults will be created).

Parameters:

size	The maximum number of timers that can be inserted into the new object.
preallocated	Default false, true then all the memory for the ACE_Timer_Node objects will be pre-allocated. This saves time and is more predictable (though it requires more space). Otherwise, timer nodes are allocated as needed.
freelist	is the freelist of timer nodes.
upcall_functor	If 0 Timer Heap will create a default FUNCTOR.

template<class TYPE , class FUNCTOR , class ACE_LOCK , typename TIME_POLICY >

ACE_Timer_Heap_T< TYPE, FUNCTOR, ACE_LOCK, TIME_POLICY >::ACE_Timer_Heap_T	(	FUNCTOR *	upcall_functor = 0,
		ACE_Free_List< ACE_Timer_Node_T< TYPE > > *	freelist = 0,
		TIME_POLICY const &	time_policy = TIME_POLICY()
	)

Default constructor. upcall_functor is the instance of the FUNCTOR to be used by the queue. If upcall_functor is 0, Timer Heap will create a default FUNCTOR. freelist is the freelist of timer nodes. If 0, then a default freelist will be created. The default size will be ACE_DEFAULT_TIMERS and there will be no preallocation.

ACE_Timer_Node_T< TYPE > * ACE_Timer_Heap_T< TYPE, FUNCTOR, ACE_LOCK, TIME_POLICY >::alloc_node

(

void

)

[protected, virtual]

Factory method that allocates a new node (uses operator new if we're *not* preallocating, otherwise uses an internal freelist).

Reimplemented from ACE_Timer_Queue_T< TYPE, FUNCTOR, ACE_LOCK, TIME_POLICY >.

template<class TYPE , class FUNCTOR , class ACE_LOCK , typename TIME_POLICY >

int ACE_Timer_Heap_T< TYPE, FUNCTOR, ACE_LOCK, TIME_POLICY >::cancel	(	const TYPE &	type,
		int	dont_call_handle_close = 1
	)		[virtual]

Cancel all timers associated with type. If dont_call_handle_close is 0 then the <functor> will be invoked. Returns number of timers cancelled.

Implements ACE_Abstract_Timer_Queue< TYPE >.

template<class TYPE , class FUNCTOR , class ACE_LOCK , typename TIME_POLICY >

int ACE_Timer_Heap_T< TYPE, FUNCTOR, ACE_LOCK, TIME_POLICY >::cancel	(	long	timer_id,
		const void **	act = 0,
		int	dont_call_handle_close = 1
	)		[virtual]

Cancel the single timer that matches the timer_id value (which was returned from the <schedule> method). If act is non-NULL then it will be set to point to the ``magic cookie'' argument passed in when the timer was registered. This makes it possible to free up the memory and avoid memory leaks. If dont_call_handle_close is 0 then the <functor> will be invoked. Returns 1 if cancellation succeeded and 0 if the timer_id wasn't found.

(

[virtual]

Removes the earliest node from the queue and returns it. Note that the timer is removed from the heap, but is not freed, and its ID is not reclaimed. The caller is responsible for calling either reschedule() or free_node() after this function returns. Thus, this function is for support of ACE_Timer_Queue::expire and should not be used unadvisedly in other conditions.

Implements ACE_Abstract_Timer_Queue< TYPE >.

void ACE_Timer_Heap_T< TYPE, FUNCTOR, ACE_LOCK, TIME_POLICY >::reschedule

[protected, virtual]

Reschedule an "interval" ACE_Timer_Node.

template<class TYPE , class FUNCTOR , class ACE_LOCK , typename TIME_POLICY >

int ACE_Timer_Heap_T< TYPE, FUNCTOR, ACE_LOCK, TIME_POLICY >::reset_interval	(	long	timer_id,
		const ACE_Time_Value &	interval
	)		[virtual]

Resets the interval of the timer represented by timer_id to interval, which is specified in relative time to the current <gettimeofday>. If interval is equal to ACE_Time_Value::zero, the timer will become a non-rescheduling timer. Returns 0 if successful, -1 if not.

Implements ACE_Abstract_Timer_Queue< TYPE >.

template<class TYPE , class FUNCTOR , class ACE_LOCK , typename TIME_POLICY >

long ACE_Timer_Heap_T< TYPE, FUNCTOR, ACE_LOCK, TIME_POLICY >::schedule_i	(	const TYPE &	type,
		const void *	act,
		const ACE_Time_Value &	future_time,
		const ACE_Time_Value &	interval
	)		[protected, virtual]

Schedule a timer that may optionally auto-reset. Schedule type that will expire at future_time, which is specified in absolute time. If it expires then act is passed in as the value to the <functor>. If interval is != to ACE_Time_Value::zero then it is used to reschedule the type automatically, using relative time to the current <gettimeofday>. This method returns a <timer_id> that uniquely identifies the the type entry in an internal list. This <timer_id> can be used to cancel the timer before it expires. The cancellation ensures that <timer_ids> are unique up to values of greater than 2 billion timers. As long as timers don't stay around longer than this there should be no problems with accidentally deleting the wrong timer. Returns -1 on failure (which is guaranteed never to be a valid <timer_id>).

Implements ACE_Timer_Queue_T< TYPE, FUNCTOR, ACE_LOCK, TIME_POLICY >.

template<class TYPE , class FUNCTOR , class ACE_LOCK , typename TIME_POLICY >

long ACE_Timer_Heap_T< TYPE, FUNCTOR, ACE_LOCK, TIME_POLICY >::timer_id

(

void

)

[private]

Returns a timer id that uniquely identifies this timer. This id can be used to cancel a timer via the <cancel (int)> method. The timer id returned from this method will never == -1 to avoid conflicts with other failure return values.

An array of "pointers" that allows each ACE_Timer_Node in the <heap_> to be located in O(1) time. Basically, <timer_id_[i]> contains the slot in the <heap_> array where an ACE_Timer_Node * with timer id <i> resides. Thus, the timer id passed back from <schedule> is really a slot into the <timer_ids> array. The <timer_ids_> array serves two purposes: negative values are indications of free timer IDs, whereas positive values are "pointers" into the <heap_> array for assigned timer IDs.
