Detailed Description

Adds a target field to EventBase so listeners can resolve source ID conflict between different behaviors.

See EventRouter's class documentation for discussion of how to request and use timers.

Public Member Functions

 TimerEvent ()
 empty constructor, initializes target to NULL
 TimerEvent (EventListener *tgt, EventGeneratorID_t gid, unsigned int sid, EventTypeID_t tid, unsigned int dur=0)
 the full specification constructor, pass original requester tgt, generator gid (probably should always be EventBase::timerEGID), source sid, type tid (typically EventBase::statusETID), and duration dur
 TimerEvent (const TimerEvent &te)
 copy constructor, does a shallow copy (copies pointer value, doesn't try to clone target!)
TimerEventoperator= (const TimerEvent &te)
 assignment operator, does a shallow copy (copies pointer value, doesn't try to clone target!)
virtual EventBaseclone () const
 allows a copy to be made of an event, supporting polymorphism
virtual unsigned int getClassTypeID () const
 All subclasses should override this and return a unique ID for their class.
EventListenergetTarget () const
 returns target
void setTarget (EventListener *tgt)
 assigns tgt to target
std::string getDescription (bool showTypeSpecific=true, unsigned int verbosity=0) const
 generates a description of the event with variable verbosity
virtual unsigned int getBinSize () const
 should return the minimum size needed if using binary format (i.e. not XML)
virtual unsigned int loadBinaryBuffer (const char buf[], unsigned int len)
 load from binary format
virtual unsigned int saveBinaryBuffer (char buf[], unsigned int len) const
 save to binary format
virtual void loadXML (xmlNode *node)
 load from XML format
virtual void saveXML (xmlNode *node) const
 save to XML format

Protected Attributes

EventListenertarget
 indicates the listener for which the timer was created


Member Function Documentation

virtual EventBase* TimerEvent::clone (  )  const [inline, virtual]

allows a copy to be made of an event, supporting polymorphism

Must be overridden by all subclasses to allow this to happen

I would like to switch this over to the cloneable interface once the compiler gets updated out of the 3.3 branch... see Cloneable::clone() for a discussion of the issue and implementation notes.

Reimplemented from EventBase.

Definition at line 23 of file TimerEvent.h.

virtual unsigned int TimerEvent::getClassTypeID (  )  const [inline, virtual]

All subclasses should override this and return a unique ID for their class.

All IDs corresponding to all-capital letters are reserved for future framework expansion. (Thus, user subclasses should contain at least one lower-case letter.) This code can be used when serializing to allow quick identification of the class type by the receiver.

std::string TimerEvent::getDescription ( bool  showTypeSpecific = true,
unsigned int  verbosity = 0 
) const [virtual]

generates a description of the event with variable verbosity

Parameters:
showTypeSpecific should be read by subclasses to add additional information
verbosity can be one of the following values:
  • 0 - Basic: event_name \t generator_id \t source_id \t type_id
  • 1 - Numerics: event_name \t generator_id \t source_id \t type_id
  • 2 - Timing: event_name \t generator_id \t source_id \t type_id \t duration \t timestamp
  • 3 and above - Full: event_name \t generator_id \t source_id \t type_id \t duration \t timestamp \t magnitude if showTypeSpecific, additional fields will be added after the common fields listed above.

Reimplemented from EventBase.
