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.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify void   
 

Constructor.


Member Function Documentation

int ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::close void    [virtual]
 

Reimplemented from 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.

Reimplemented from ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_Dev_Poll_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.

Reimplemented from ACE_Reactor_Notify.

void ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::dump void    const [virtual]
 

Dump the state of an object.

Reimplemented from 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.

Reimplemented from 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.

Reimplemented from ACE_Reactor_Notify.

void ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::max_notify_iterations int    iterations [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.

Reimplemented from ACE_Reactor_Notify.

ssize_t 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 wakeups 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 blocking 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).

Reimplemented from 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.

Reimplemented from ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::open ACE_Reactor_Impl   r,
ACE_Timer_Queue   timer_queue = 0,
int    disable_notify_pipe = 0
[virtual]
 

Reimplemented from ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::purge_pending_notifications ACE_Event_Handler   eh = 0,
ACE_Reactor_Mask    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.

Reimplemented from ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_Dev_Poll_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.

Reimplemented from 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.
