Detailed Description

template<class ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE, ACE_SYNCH_DECL>
class ACE_Message_Queue_Ex< ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE, >

A threaded message queueing facility, modeled after the queueing facilities in System V STREAMs.

An <ace_message_queue_ex> is a strongly-typed version of the <ace_message_queue>. If <ace_synch_decl> is <ace_mt_synch> then all operations are thread-safe. Otherwise, if it's <ace_null_synch> then there's no locking overhead.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE, ACE_SYNCH_DECL >
ACE_Message_Queue_Ex< ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE, >::ACE_Message_Queue_Ex size_t  high_water_mark = ACE_Message_Queue_Base::DEFAULT_HWM,
size_t  low_water_mark = ACE_Message_Queue_Base::DEFAULT_LWM,
ACE_Notification_Strategy = 0
 

Initialize an <ace_message_queue>. The <high_water_mark> determines how many bytes can be stored in a queue before it's considered "full." Supplier threads must block until the queue is no longer full. The <low_water_mark> determines how many bytes must be in the queue before supplier threads are allowed to enqueue additional <ace_message_block>s. By default, the <high_water_mark> equals the <low_water_mark>, which means that suppliers will be able to enqueue new messages as soon as a consumer removes any message from the queue. Making the <low_water_mark> smaller than the <high_water_mark> forces consumers to drain more messages from the queue before suppliers can enqueue new messages, which can minimize the "silly window syndrome."

template<class ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE, ACE_SYNCH_DECL >
virtual ACE_Message_Queue_Ex< ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE, >::~ACE_Message_Queue_Ex void   )  [virtual]
 

Close down the message queue and release all resources.


Member Function Documentation

template<class ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE, ACE_SYNCH_DECL >
virtual int ACE_Message_Queue_Ex< ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE, >::activate void   )  [virtual]
 

Reactivate the queue so that threads can enqueue and dequeue messages again. Returns the state of the queue before the call.

template<class ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE, ACE_SYNCH_DECL >
virtual int ACE_Message_Queue_Ex< ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE, >::close void   )  [virtual]
 

Close down the message queue and release all resources.

template<class ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE, ACE_SYNCH_DECL >
virtual int ACE_Message_Queue_Ex< ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE, >::deactivate void   )  [virtual]
 

Deactivate the queue and wakeup all threads waiting on the queue so they can continue. No messages are removed from the queue, however. Any other operations called until the queue is activated again will immediately return -1 with <errno> == ESHUTDOWN. Returns WAS_INACTIVE if queue was inactive before the call and WAS_ACTIVE if queue was active before the call.

template<class ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE, ACE_SYNCH_DECL >
virtual int ACE_Message_Queue_Ex< ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE, >::deactivated void   )  [virtual]
 

Returns true if the state of the queue is DEACTIVATED, but false if the queue's state is ACTIVATED or PULSED.

virtual int ACE_Message_Queue_Ex< ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE, >::dequeue_deadline ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE *&  dequeued,
ACE_Time_Value timeout = 0
[virtual]
 

Dequeue and return the <ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE *> with the lowest deadline time. Note that <timeout> uses <{absolute}> time rather than <{relative}> time. If the <timeout> elapses without receiving a message -1 is returned and <errno> is set to <ewouldblock>. If the queue is deactivated -1 is returned and <errno> is set to <eshutdown>. Otherwise, returns -1 on failure, else the number of items still on the queue.

template<class ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE, ACE_SYNCH_DECL >
virtual int ACE_Message_Queue_Ex< ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE, >::dequeue_head ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE *&  first_item,
ACE_Time_Value timeout = 0
[virtual]
 

Dequeue and return the <ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE *> at the head of the queue. Note that <timeout> uses <{absolute}> time rather than <{relative}> time. If the <timeout> elapses without receiving a message -1 is returned and <errno> is set to <ewouldblock>. If the queue is deactivated -1 is returned and <errno> is set to <eshutdown>. Otherwise, returns -1 on failure, else the number of items still on the queue.

ACE_Time_Value timeout = 0
[virtual]
 

Dequeue and return the <ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE *> that has the lowest priority. Note that <timeout> uses <{absolute}> time rather than <{relative}> time. If the <timeout> elapses without receiving a message -1 is returned and <errno> is set to <ewouldblock>. If the queue is deactivated -1 is returned and <errno> is set to <eshutdown>. Otherwise, returns -1 on failure, else the number of items still on the queue.

ACE_Time_Value timeout = 0
[virtual]
 

Enqueue an <ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE *> into the <message_queue> in accordance with its <msg_deadline_time>. FIFO order is maintained when messages of the same deadline time are inserted consecutively. Note that <timeout> uses <{absolute}> time rather than <{relative}> time. If the <timeout> elapses without receiving a message -1 is returned and <errno> is set to <ewouldblock>. If the queue is deactivated -1 is returned and <errno> is set to <eshutdown>. Otherwise, returns -1 on failure, else the number of items still on the queue.

Get the notification strategy for the <message_queue>.

template<class ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE, ACE_SYNCH_DECL >
virtual int ACE_Message_Queue_Ex< ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE, >::notify void   )  [virtual]
 

This hook is automatically invoked by <enqueue_head>, <enqueue_tail>, and <enqueue_prio> when a new item is inserted into the queue. Subclasses can override this method to perform specific notification strategies (e.g., signaling events for a <wfmo_reactor>, notifying a <reactor>, etc.). In a multi-threaded application with concurrent consumers, there is no guarantee that the queue will be still be non-empty by the time the notification occurs.

template<class ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE, ACE_SYNCH_DECL >
virtual int ACE_Message_Queue_Ex< ACE_MESSAGE_TYPE, >::open size_t  hwm = ACE_Message_Queue_Base::DEFAULT_HWM,
size_t  lwm = ACE_Message_Queue_Base::DEFAULT_LWM,
ACE_Notification_Strategy = 0
[virtual]
 

Initialize an <ace_message_queue>. The <high_water_mark> determines how many bytes can be stored in a queue before it's considered "full." Supplier threads must block until the queue is no longer full. The <low_water_mark> determines how many bytes must be in the queue before supplier threads are allowed to enqueue additional <ace_message_block>s. By default, the <high_water_mark> equals the <low_water_mark>, which means that suppliers will be able to enqueue new messages as soon as a consumer removes any message from the queue.
