Detailed Description

Provides an abstract interface for handling various types of I/O, timer, and signal events.

Subclasses read/write input/output on an I/O descriptor, handle an exception raised on an I/O descriptor, handle a timer's expiration, or handle a signal.

Destructor is virtual to enable proper cleanup.

Member Function Documentation

ACE_HANDLE ACE_Event_Handler::get_handle ( void   )  const [virtual]

void ACE_Event_Handler::set_handle ( ACE_HANDLE   )  [virtual]

int ACE_Event_Handler::priority ( void   )  const [virtual]

Get the priority of the Event_Handler.

void ACE_Event_Handler::priority ( int  priority  )  [virtual]

Set the priority of the Event_Handler.

int ACE_Event_Handler::handle_input ( ACE_HANDLE  fd = ACE_INVALID_HANDLE  )  [virtual]

int ACE_Event_Handler::handle_output ( ACE_HANDLE  fd = ACE_INVALID_HANDLE  )  [virtual]

Called when output events are possible (e.g., when flow control abates or non-blocking connection completes).

Reimplemented in ACE_NonBlocking_Connect_Handler< SVC_HANDLER >, and ACE_Event_Handler_T< T >.

int ACE_Event_Handler::handle_exception ( ACE_HANDLE  fd = ACE_INVALID_HANDLE  )  [virtual]

Called when an exceptional events occur (e.g., SIGURG).

Reimplemented in ACE_NonBlocking_Connect_Handler< SVC_HANDLER >, and ACE_Event_Handler_T< T >.

int ACE_Event_Handler::handle_timeout ( const ACE_Time_Value current_time,
const void *  act = 0 
) [virtual]

Called when timer expires. current_time represents the current time that the <Event_Handler> was selected for timeout dispatching and act is the asynchronous completion token that was passed in when <schedule_timer> was invoked.

Reimplemented in ACE_Oneshot_Acceptor< SVC_HANDLER, >, ACE_NonBlocking_Connect_Handler< SVC_HANDLER >, ACE_Event_Handler_T< T >, ACE_Logging_Strategy, ACE_Svc_Handler<, >, ACE_Buffered_Svc_Handler<, >, and ACE_Svc_Handler< ACE_PEER_STREAM_2, ACE_SYNCH_USE >.

int ACE_Event_Handler::handle_exit ( ACE_Process  )  [virtual]

Called when a process exits.

int ACE_Event_Handler::handle_close ( ACE_HANDLE  handle,
ACE_Reactor_Mask  close_mask 
) [virtual]

Called when a <handle_*()> method returns -1 or when the <remove_handler> method is called on an ACE_Reactor. The close_mask indicates which event has triggered the <handle_close> method callback on a particular handle.

Reimplemented in ACE_Acceptor< SVC_HANDLER, >, ACE_Strategy_Acceptor< SVC_HANDLER, >, ACE_Oneshot_Acceptor< SVC_HANDLER, >, ACE_Event_Handler_T< T >, ACE_Service_Manager, ACE_Svc_Handler<, >, ACE_Acceptor< SVC_HANDLER, ACE_PEER_ACCEPTOR_2 >, and ACE_Svc_Handler< ACE_PEER_STREAM_2, ACE_SYNCH_USE >.

int ACE_Event_Handler::handle_signal ( int  signum,
siginfo_t = 0,
ucontext_t = 0 
) [virtual]

Called when object is signaled by OS (either via UNIX signals or when a Win32 object becomes signaled).

Reimplemented in ACE_Strategy_Acceptor< SVC_HANDLER, >, ACE_Event_Handler_T< T >, ACE_Process_Manager, ACE_Service_Manager, ACE_Shared_Memory_Pool, ACE_Sig_Adapter, ACE_Test_and_Set< ACE_LOCK, TYPE >, and ACE_Async_Timer_Queue_Adapter< TQ >.

int ACE_Event_Handler::resume_handler ( void   )  [virtual]

Called to figure out whether the handler needs to resumed by the reactor or the application can take care of it. The default value of 0 would be returned which would allow the reactor to take care of resumption of the handler. The application can return a value more than zero and decide to resume the handler themseleves.

Note:
This method is only useful for the ACE_TP_Reactor. Sad that we have to have this method in a class that is supposed to be used across different components in ACE.

Reimplemented in ACE_NonBlocking_Connect_Handler< SVC_HANDLER >.

int ACE_Event_Handler::handle_qos ( ACE_HANDLE  = ACE_INVALID_HANDLE  )  [virtual]

int ACE_Event_Handler::handle_group_qos ( ACE_HANDLE  = ACE_INVALID_HANDLE  )  [virtual]

void ACE_Event_Handler::reactor ( ACE_Reactor reactor  )  [virtual]

Set the event demultiplexors.

Reimplemented in ACE_Connector< SVC_HANDLER, >, and ACE_Connector< SVC_HANDLER, ACE_PEER_CONNECTOR_2 >.

ACE_Reactor * ACE_Event_Handler::reactor ( void   )  const [virtual]

Get the event demultiplexors.

Reimplemented in ACE_Connector< SVC_HANDLER, >, and ACE_Connector< SVC_HANDLER, ACE_PEER_CONNECTOR_2 >.

ACE_Reactor_Timer_Interface * ACE_Event_Handler::reactor_timer_interface ( void   )  const [virtual]

Get only the reactor's timer related interface.

ACE_THR_FUNC_RETURN ACE_Event_Handler::read_adapter ( void *  event_handler  )  [static]

Used to read from non-socket ACE_HANDLEs in our own thread to work around Win32 limitations that don't allow us to <select> on non-sockets (such as ACE_STDIN). This is commonly used in situations where the Reactor is used to demultiplex read events on ACE_STDIN on UNIX. Note that event_handler must be a subclass of ACE_Event_Handler. If the <get_handle> method of this event handler returns <ACE_INVALID_HANDLE> we default to reading from ACE_STDIN.

int ACE_Event_Handler::register_stdin_handler ( ACE_Event_Handler eh,
ACE_Reactor reactor,
ACE_Thread_Manager thr_mgr,
int  flags = THR_DETACHED 
) [static]

Abstracts away from the differences between Win32 and ACE with respect to reading from ACE_STDIN, which is non-<select>'able on Win32.

int ACE_Event_Handler::remove_stdin_handler ( ACE_Reactor reactor,
ACE_Thread_Manager thr_mgr 
) [static]

Performs the inverse of the <register_stdin_handler> method.

ACE_Event_Handler::Reference_Count ACE_Event_Handler::add_reference ( void   )  [virtual]

Increment reference count on the handler.

This method is called when the handler is registered with the Reactor and when the Reactor makes an upcall on the handler. Reference count is 1 when the handler is created.

Returns:
Current reference count.

ACE_Event_Handler::Reference_Count ACE_Event_Handler::remove_reference ( void   )  [virtual]

Decrement reference count on the handler.

This method is called when the handler is removed from the Reactor and when an upcall made on the handler by the Reactor completes. Handler is deleted when the reference count reaches 0.

Returns:
Current reference count.
