Detailed Description

Event handler used for unblocking the ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor from its event loop.

This event handler is used internally by the ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor as a means to allow a thread other then the one running the event loop to unblock the event loop.

Member Function Documentation

int ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::close ( void   )  [virtual]

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::dispatch_notifications ( int &  number_of_active_handles,
ACE_Handle_Set rd_mask 
) [virtual]

This method's interface is not very compatibile with this Reactor's design. It's not clear why this method is pure virtual either.

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::dispatch_notify ( ACE_Notification_Buffer buffer  )  [virtual]

Handle one notify call represented in buffer. This could be because of a thread trying to unblock the Reactor_Impl.

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

void ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::dump ( void   )  const [virtual]

Dump the state of an object.

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::handle_input ( ACE_HANDLE  handle  )  [virtual]

Called back by the ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor when a thread wants to unblock us.

Reimplemented from ACE_Event_Handler.

int ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::is_dispatchable ( ACE_Notification_Buffer buffer  )  [virtual]

Verify whether the buffer has dispatchable info or not.

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::max_notify_iterations ( void   )  [virtual]

Get the maximum number of times that the handle_input method will iterate and dispatch the ACE_Event_Handlers that are passed in via the notify queue before breaking out of its event loop.

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

void ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::max_notify_iterations ( int   )  [virtual]

Set the maximum number of times that the handle_input method will iterate and dispatch the ACE_Event_Handlers that are passed in via the notify queue before breaking out of the event loop. By default, this is set to -1, which means "iterate until the queue 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_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::notify ( ACE_Event_Handler eh = 0,
ACE_Reactor_Mask  mask = ACE_Event_Handler::EXCEPT_MASK,
ACE_Time_Value timeout = 0 
) [virtual]

Called by a thread when it wants to unblock the Reactor_Impl. This wakes up the Reactor_Impl if currently blocked. Pass over both the Event_Handler and the mask to allow the caller to dictate which Event_Handler method the Reactor_Impl will invoke. The ACE_Time_Value indicates how long to block trying to notify the Reactor_Impl. 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_Dev_Poll_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 Reactor_Impl.

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::open ( ACE_Reactor_Impl ,
ACE_Timer_Queue timer_queue = 0,
int  disable_notify = 0 
) [virtual]

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::purge_pending_notifications ( ACE_Event_Handler = 0,
ACE_Reactor_Mask  = ACE_Event_Handler::ALL_EVENTS_MASK 
) [virtual]

Purge any notifications pending in this reactor for the specified ACE_Event_Handler object. Returns the number of notifications purged. Returns -1 on error.

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::read_notify_pipe ( ACE_HANDLE  handle,
ACE_Notification_Buffer buffer 
) [virtual]

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

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.


Member Data Documentation

ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor* ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::dp_reactor_ [protected]

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

int ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::max_notify_iterations_ [protected]

Keeps track of the maximum number of times that the ACE_Dev_Poll_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_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::notification_pipe_ [protected]

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