Detailed Description

A simple timer for timeout and interval applications, using one dedicated service_runner thread per instance.

Discussion: It is contemplated to add an implementation using a unique singleton service_runner for multiple timer instances via event loops.

Member Typedef Documentation

Timer0_ref

typedef simple_timer& jau::simple_timer::Timer0_ref

Definition at line 54 of file simple_timer.hpp.

Timer_func

typedef function<fraction_i64(Timer0_ref)> jau::simple_timer::Timer_func

User defined timer function using custom granularity via fraction_i64.

Function gets invoked for each timer event, i.e. after reaching the duration set earlier.

Returns

duration in fractions of seconds for the next timer event or zero to end the timer thread.

Definition at line 64 of file simple_timer.hpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

simple_timer() [1/2]

simple_timer::simple_timer ( const std::string &  name, const fraction_i64 &  service_shutdown_timeout  )

noexcept

Constructs a new service.

Parameters

name	thread name of this service
service_shutdown_timeout	maximum duration in fractions of seconds to wait for service to stop at stop(), where fractions_i64::zero waits infinitely

Definition at line 61 of file simple_timer.cpp.

simple_timer() [2/2]

jau::simple_timer::simple_timer ( const simple_timer &  o )

delete

No copy constructor nor move constructor.

Parameters

o

Member Function Documentation

name()

const std::string & jau::simple_timer::name ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Return the given name of this timer.

Definition at line 92 of file simple_timer.hpp.

thread_id()

pthread_t jau::simple_timer::thread_id ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Return the thread-id of this timer's worker thread, zero if not running.

Definition at line 97 of file simple_timer.hpp.

is_running()

bool jau::simple_timer::is_running ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Returns true if timer is running.

Definition at line 102 of file simple_timer.hpp.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

shall_stop()

bool jau::simple_timer::shall_stop ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Returns true if timer shall stop.

This flag can be used by the Timer_func function to determine whether to skip lengthly tasks.

Definition at line 109 of file simple_timer.hpp.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

start()

bool simple_timer::start ( const fraction_i64 &  duration_, Timer_func  tofunc  )

noexcept

Start the timer with given user Timer_func function and initial duration.

Parameters

duration_	initial timer duration in fractions of seconds until next timer event
tofunc	user Timer_func to be called on next timer event

Returns

true if timer has been started, otherwise false implies timer is already running.

Definition at line 66 of file simple_timer.cpp.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

start_or_update()

void simple_timer::start_or_update ( const fraction_i64 &  duration_, Timer_func  tofunc  )

noexcept

Start or update the timer with given user Timer_func function and initial duration.

This is faster than calling stop() and start(), however, an already started timer user Timer_func will proceed.

Parameters

duration_	initial timer duration in fractions of seconds until next timer event
tofunc	user Timer_func to be called on next timer event

Definition at line 76 of file simple_timer.cpp.

stop()

bool jau::simple_timer::stop ( )

inlinenoexcept

Stop timer, see service_runner::stop()

Returns

true if timer has been stopped or false if timeout has been hit

Definition at line 136 of file simple_timer.hpp.
