Detailed Description

An abstract base class which provides dynamic priority evaluation methods for use by the ACE_Dynamic_Message_Queue class or any other class which needs to manage the priorities of a collection of ACE_Message_Blocks dynamically.

Methods for deadline and laxity based priority evaluation are provided. These methods assume a specific partitioning of the message priority number into a higher order dynamic bit field and a lower order static priority bit field. The default partitioning assumes an unsigned dynamic message priority field of 22 bits and an unsigned static message priority field of 10 bits. This corresponds to the initial values of the static class members. To provide a different partitioning, assign a different set of values to the static class memebers before using the static member functions.


Member Enumeration Documentation

Enumerator:
PENDING  Message can still make its deadline.
LATE  Message cannot make its deadline.
BEYOND_LATE  Message is so late its priority is undefined.
ANY_STATUS  Mask to match any priority status.

Member Data Documentation

This is a bit mask with all ones in the static bit field.

This is a left shift value to make room for static bit field: this value should be the logarithm base 2 of (static_bit_field_mask_ + 1).

Maximum supported priority value.

Offset to boundary between signed range and unsigned range.

Maximum late time value that can be represented.

Minimum pending time value that can be represented.

Time value by which to shift pending priority.
