+/** \brief The Scheduler interface
- This class manages a single select() type event loop. A customer of this class may register
- any number of file descriptiors with this class and pass callback functions to be called on
- input, output or error. This functions are specified using boost::function objects (See <a
- href="http://www.boost.org/doc/html/function.html">Boost.Function</a>)
+ The %scheduler API is comprised of two parts:
- The Scheduler is based on a generic handle representation. The only information needed from
- a handle, is the intrinsic file descriptor. Any object for which the statement
- \code
- int fd = retrieve_filehandle(object);
- \endcode
- is valid and places the relevent file descriptor into fd can be used as a Handle type. There
- is an implementation of retrieve_filehandle(int) within the library to handle explicit file
- descrptors. The <a href="../../../Socket/doc/html/index.html">Socket library</a> provides an
- implementation of <tt>retrive_filehandle(FileHandle handle)</tt>. If you want to support
- some other handle type, just define an apropriate \c retrieve_filehandle function <em>in
- that types namespace</em>.
-
- It is important to note, that for every combination of file descriptor and event, only a \e
- single handler may be installed. Installing more handlers does not make sense. If you need
- to distribute data to serveral interested parties, you must take care of this yourself.

+
+ \section sched_objects Event classes
- Scheduler();
+ The Scheduler is based on the RAII principle: Every event is represented by a class
+ instance. The event is registered in the constructor and removed by the destructor of that
+ instance. This implementation automatically links the lifetime of an event with the lifetime of
+ the object resposible for it's creation.
- void do_add(int fd, SimpleCallback const & cb, int eventMask = EV_ALL);
- void do_remove(int fd, int eventMask = EV_ALL);
+ Every event registration is represented by an instance of an event specific class:
- /** \brief Descriptor event specification
- \internal */
- struct EventSpec
+ \li senf::scheduler::FdEvent for file descriptor events
+ \li senf::scheduler::TimerEvent for single-shot deadline timer events
+ \li senf::scheduler::SignalEvent for UNIX signal events
+ \li senf::scheduler::EventHook for a special event hook
+
+ These instance are owned and managed by the user of the scheduler \e not by the scheduler so the
+ RAII concept can be used.
+
+ \code
+ class SomeServer
+ {
+ SomeSocketHandle handle_;
+ senf::scheduler::FdEvent event_;
+
+ public:
+ SomeServer(SomeSocketHandle handle)
+ : handle_ (handle),
+ event_ ("SomeServer handler", senf::membind(&SomeServer::readData, this),
+ handle, senf::scheduler::FdEvent::EV_READ)
+ {}
+
+ void readData(int events)
{
- SimpleCallback cb_read;
- SimpleCallback cb_prio;
- SimpleCallback cb_write;
- SimpleCallback cb_hup;
- SimpleCallback cb_err;
-
- int epollMask() const;
- };
-
- /** \brief Timer event specification
- \internal */
- struct TimerSpec
+ // read data from handle_, check for eof and so on.
+ }
+ };
+ \endcode
+
+ The event is defined as a class member variable. When the event member is initialized in the
+ constructor, the event is automatically registered (except if the optional \a initiallyEnabled
+ flag argument is set to \c false). The Destructor will automatically remove the event from the
+ scheduler and ensure, that no dead code is called accidentally.
+
+ The process is the same for the other event types or when registering multiple events. For
+ detailed information on the constructor arguments and other features see the event class
+ documentation referenced below.
+
+
+ \section sched_handlers Specifying handlers
+
+ All handlers are specified as generic <a
+ href="http://www.boost.org/doc/html/function.html">Boost.Function</a> objects. This allows to
+ pass any callable as a handler. Depending on the type of handler, some additional arguments may
+ be passed to the handler by the %scheduler.
+
+ If you need to pass additional information to your handler, use <a
+ href="http://www.boost.org/libs/bind/bind.html">Boost.Bind</a>:
+ \code
+ // Handle callback function
+ void callback(UDPv4ClientSocketHandle handle, senf::Scheduler::EventId event) {..}
+ // Pass 'handle' as additional first argument to callback()
+ senf::scheduler::FdEvent event ("name", boost::bind(&callback, handle, _1),
+ handle, senf::scheduler::FdEvent::EV_READ);
+ // Timeout function
+ void timeout( int n) {..}
+ // Call timeout() handler with argument 'n'
+ senf::scheduler::TimerEvent timer ("name", boost::bind(&timeout, n),
+ senf::ClockService::now() + senf::ClockService::seconds(1));
+ \endcode
+
+ To use member-functions as callbacks, use either <a
+ href="http://www.boost.org/libs/bind/bind.html">Boost.Bind</a> or senf::membind()
+ \code
+ // e.g. in Foo::Foo() constructor:
+ Foo::Foo()
+ : handle_ (...),
+ readevent_ ("Foo read", senf::membind(&Foo::callback, this),
+ handle_, senf::scheduler::FdEvent::EV_READ)
+ { ... }
+ \endcode
+
+ The handler is identified by an arbitrary, user specified name. This name is used in error
+ messages to identify the failing handler.
+
+
+ \section sched_exec Executing the Scheduler
+
+ To enter the scheduler main-loop, call
+
+ \code
+ senf::scheduler::process();
+ \endcode
+
+ This call will only return in two cases:
+
+ \li When a handler calls senf::scheduler::terminate()
+ \li When there is no active file descriptor or timer event.
+
+ Additional <a href="#autotoc-7.">generic functions</a> provide information and %scheduler
+ parameters.
+
+ \section sched_container Event objects and container classes
+
+ As the event objects are \e not copyable, they cannot be placed into ordinary
+ containers. However, it is quite simple to use pointer containers to hold event instances:
+
+ \code
+ #include <boost/ptr_container/ptr_map.hpp>
+ #include <boost/bind.hpp>
+
+ class Foo
+ {
+ public:
+ void add(int fd)
{
- TimerSpec() : timeout(), cb() {}
- TimerSpec(unsigned long long timeout_, TimerCallback cb_)
- : timeout(timeout_), cb(cb_) {}
+ fdEvents.insert(
+ fd,
+ new senf::scheduler::FdEvent("foo", boost::bind(&callback, this, fd, _1), fd,
+ senf::scheduler::FdEvent::EV_READ) );
+ }
- bool operator< (TimerSpec const & other) const
- { return timeout > other.timeout; }
+ void callback(int fd, int events)
+ {
+ FdEvent & event (fdEvents_[fd]);
- unsigned long long timeout;
- TimerCallback cb;
- };
+ // ...
- typedef std::map<int,EventSpec> FdTable;
- typedef std::priority_queue<TimerSpec> TimerQueue;
+ if (complete)
+ fdEvents_.remove(fd)
+ }
- FdTable fdTable_;
- TimerQueue timerQueue_;
- int epollFd_;
- bool terminate_;
+ private:
+ boost::ptr_map<int, FdEvent> fdEvents_;
};
+ \endcode
+
+ The pointer container API is (almost) completely identical to the corresponding standard library
+ container API. The only difference is, that all elements added to the container \e must be
+ created via \c new and that the pointer containers themselves are \e not copyable (ok, they are,
+ if the elements are cloneable ...). See <a
+ href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/libs/ptr_container/doc/ptr_container.html">Boost.PointerContainer</a>
+ for the pointer container library reference.
+
+ \todo Fix the file support to use threads (?) fork (?) and a pipe so it works reliably even
+ over e.g. NFS.
