## Detailed Description

Unblock the <ace_wfmo_reactor> from its event loop, passing it an optional ACE_Event_Handler to dispatch.

This implementation is necessary for cases where the <ace_wfmo_reactor> is run in a multi-threaded program. In this case, we need to be able to unblock <waitformultipleobjects> when updates occur other than in the main <ace_wfmo_reactor> thread. To do this, we signal an auto-reset event the <ace_wfmo_reactor> is listening on. If an ACE_Event_Handler and <ace_reactor_mask> is passed to <notify>, the appropriate <handle_*> method is dispatched.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ACE_WFMO_Reactor_Notify::ACE_WFMO_Reactor_Notify | ( | size_t | max_notifies = `1024` | ) |

| Constructor.

## Member Function Documentation

int ACE_WFMO_Reactor_Notify::close | ( | void |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| No-op. Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_WFMO_Reactor_Notify::dispatch_notifications | ( | int & | number_of_active_handles,
|  | ACE_Handle_Set & | rd_mask
| ) | `[virtual]`

| No-op. Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_WFMO_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> Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

void ACE_WFMO_Reactor_Notify::dump | ( | void |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

| Dump the state of an object. Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

ACE_HANDLE ACE_WFMO_Reactor_Notify::get_handle | ( | void |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

| Returns a handle to the <ace_auto_event>. Reimplemented from ACE_Event_Handler.

int ACE_WFMO_Reactor_Notify::handle_signal | ( | int | signum,
|  | siginfo_t * | = `0`,
|  | ucontext_t * | = `0`
| ) | `[private, virtual]`

| Called when the notification event waited on by <ace_wfmo_reactor> is signaled. This dequeues all pending <ace_event_handlers> and dispatches them. Reimplemented from ACE_Event_Handler.

int ACE_WFMO_Reactor_Notify::is_dispatchable | ( | ACE_Notification_Buffer & | buffer | ) | `[virtual]`

| Verify whether the buffer has dispatchable info or not. Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_WFMO_Reactor_Notify::max_notify_iterations | ( | void |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Get the maximum number of times that the <ACE_WFMO_Reactor_Notify::handle_input> method will iterate and dispatch the <ace_event_handlers> that are passed in via the notify queue before breaking out of its <ACE_Message_Queue::dequeue> loop. Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

void ACE_WFMO_Reactor_Notify::max_notify_iterations | ( | int |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Set the maximum number of times that the <ACE_WFMO_Reactor_Notify::handle_input> method will iterate and dispatch the <ace_event_handlers> that are passed in via the notify queue before breaking out of its <ACE_Message_Queue::dequeue> 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. Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_WFMO_Reactor_Notify::notify | ( | ACE_Event_Handler * | event_handler = `0`,
|  | ACE_Reactor_Mask | mask = `ACE_Event_Handler::EXCEPT_MASK`,
|  | ACE_Time_Value * | timeout = `0`
| ) | `[virtual]`

| Special trick to unblock <waitformultipleobjects> when updates occur. All we do is enqueue <event_handler> and <mask> onto the ACE_Message_Queue and wakeup the <wfmo_reactor> by signaling its <ace_event> handle. The <ace_time_value> indicates how long to blocking trying to notify the <wfmo_reactor>. If <timeout> == 0, the caller will block until action is possible, else will wait until the relative time specified in <timeout> elapses). Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

ACE_HANDLE ACE_WFMO_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> Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_WFMO_Reactor_Notify::open | ( | ACE_Reactor_Impl * | wfmo_reactor,
|  | ACE_Timer_Queue * | timer_queue,
|  | int | disable_notify = `0`
| ) | `[virtual]`

| Initialization. <timer_queue> is stored to call <gettimeofday>. Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_WFMO_Reactor_Notify::purge_pending_notifications | ( | ACE_Event_Handler * | ,
|  | ACE_Reactor_Mask | = `ACE_Event_Handler::ALL_EVENTS_MASK`
| ) | `[virtual]`

| Purge any notifications pending in this reactor for the specified ACE_Event_Handler object. If <eh> == 0, all notifications for all handlers are removed (but not any notifications posted just to wake up the reactor itself). Returns the number of notifications purged. Returns -1 on error. Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_WFMO_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> Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

## Member Data Documentation

int ACE_WFMO_Reactor_Notify::max_notify_iterations_`[private]`

| Keeps track of the maximum number of times that the <ACE_WFMO_Reactor_Notify::handle_input> method will iterate and dispatch the <ace_event_handlers> that are passed in via the notify queue before breaking out of its <ACE_Message_Queue::dequeue> loop. By default, this is set to -1, which means "iterate until the queue is empty."

ACE_Message_Queue<ACE_MT_SYNCH> ACE_WFMO_Reactor_Notify::message_queue_`[private]`

| Message queue that keeps track of pending <ace_event_handlers>. This queue must be thread-safe because it can be called by multiple threads of control.

ACE_Timer_Queue* ACE_WFMO_Reactor_Notify::timer_queue_`[private]`

| Pointer to the wfmo_reactor's timer queue.

ACE_Auto_Event ACE_WFMO_Reactor_Notify::wakeup_one_thread_`[private]`

| An auto event is used so that we can <signal> it to wakeup one thread up (e.g., when the <notify> method is called).
