Detailed Description

Unblock the <ACE_Select_Reactor> from its event loop.

This implementation is necessary for cases where the <ACE_Select_Reactor> is run in a multi-threaded program. In this case, we need to be able to unblock <select> or <poll> when updates occur other than in the main <ACE_Select_Reactor> thread. To do this, we signal an auto-reset event the <ACE_Select_Reactor> is listening on. If an <ACE_Event_Handler> and <ACE_Select_Reactor_Mask> is passed to <notify>, the appropriate <handle_*> method is dispatched in the context of the <ACE_Select_Reactor> thread.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify void   
 

Constructor.

ACE_INLINE ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::~ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify void   
 

Destructor.


Member Function Documentation

int ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::close void    [virtual]
 

Destroy.

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::dispatch_notifications int &    number_of_active_handles,
ACE_Handle_Set   rd_mask
[virtual]
 

Handles pending threads (if any) that are waiting to unblock the <ACE_Select_Reactor>.

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::dispatch_notify ACE_Notification_Buffer   buffer [virtual]
 

Handle one of the notify call on the <handle>. This could be because of a thread trying to unblock the <Reactor_Impl>

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

void ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::dump void    const [virtual]
 

Dump the state of an object.

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::handle_input ACE_HANDLE    handle [virtual]
 

Called back by the <ACE_Select_Reactor> when a thread wants to unblock us.

Reimplemented from ACE_Event_Handler.

int ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::is_dispatchable ACE_Notification_Buffer   buffer [virtual]
 

Verify whether the buffer has dispatchable info or not.

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::max_notify_iterations void    [virtual]
 

Get the maximum number of times that the <ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::handle_input> method will iterate and dispatch the <ACE_Event_Handlers> that are passed in via the notify pipe before breaking out of its <recv> loop.

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

void ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::max_notify_iterations int    [virtual]
 

Set the maximum number of times that the <ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::handle_input> method will iterate and dispatch the <ACE_Event_Handlers> that are passed in via the notify pipe before breaking out of its <recv> loop. By default, this is set to -1, which means "iterate until the pipe is empty." Setting this to a value like "1 or 2" will increase "fairness" (and thus prevent starvation) at the expense of slightly higher dispatching overhead.

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::notify ACE_Event_Handler   = 0,
ACE_Reactor_Mask    = ACE_Event_Handler::EXCEPT_MASK,
ACE_Time_Value   = 0
[virtual]
 

Called by a thread when it wants to unblock the <ACE_Select_Reactor>. This wakeups the <ACE_Select_Reactor> if currently blocked in <select>/<poll>. Pass over both the <Event_Handler> *and* the <mask> to allow the caller to dictate which <Event_Handler> method the <ACE_Select_Reactor> will invoke. The <ACE_Time_Value> indicates how long to blocking trying to notify the <ACE_Select_Reactor>. If <timeout> == 0, the caller will block until action is possible, else will wait until the relative time specified in *<timeout> elapses).

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

ACE_HANDLE ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::notify_handle void    [virtual]
 

Returns the ACE_HANDLE of the notify pipe on which the reactor is listening for notifications so that other threads can unblock the Select_Reactor

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::open ACE_Reactor_Impl  ,
ACE_Timer_Queue   = 0,
int    disable_notify_pipe = 0
[virtual]
 

Initialize.

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::purge_pending_notifications ACE_Event_Handler  ,
ACE_Reactor_Mask    = ACE_Event_Handler::ALL_EVENTS_MASK
[virtual]
 

Purge any notifications pending in this reactor for the specified <ACE_Event_Handler> object. If <eh> == 0, all notifications for all handlers are removed (but not any notifications posted just to wake up the reactor itself). Returns the number of notifications purged. Returns -1 on error.

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::read_notify_pipe ACE_HANDLE    handle,
ACE_Notification_Buffer   buffer
[virtual]
 

Read one of the notify call on the <handle> into the <buffer>. This could be because of a thread trying to unblock the <Reactor_Impl>

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.


Member Data Documentation

ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::ACE_ALLOC_HOOK_DECLARE
 

Declare the dynamic allocation hooks.

int ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::max_notify_iterations_ [protected]
 

Keeps track of the maximum number of times that the <ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::handle_input> method will iterate and dispatch the <ACE_Event_Handlers> that are passed in via the notify pipe before breaking out of its <recv> loop. By default, this is set to -1, which means "iterate until the pipe is empty."

ACE_Pipe ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::notification_pipe_ [protected]
 

Contains the <ACE_HANDLE> the <ACE_Select_Reactor> is listening on, as well as the <ACE_HANDLE> that threads wanting the attention of the <ACE_Select_Reactor> will write to.

ACE_Select_Reactor_Impl* ACE_Select_Reactor_Notify::select_reactor_ [protected]
 

Keep a back pointer to the <ACE_Select_Reactor>. If this value if NULL then the <ACE_Select_Reactor> has been initialized with <disable_notify_pipe>.
