## Public Methods

| Constructor.

## 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]`

| Implements 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. Implements 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. Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

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

| Dump the state of an object. Implements 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. Implements 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. Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

void ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::max_notify_iterations | ( | int |  | ) | `[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.

Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

ssize_t ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::notify | ( | ACE_Event_Handler * | = 0,
|  | ACE_Reactor_Mask | = ACE_Event_Handler::EXCEPT_MASK,
|  | ACE_Time_Value * | = 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).

Implements 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. Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

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

| Implements ACE_Reactor_Notify.

int ACE_Dev_Poll_Reactor_Notify::purge_pending_notifications | ( | ACE_Event_Handler * | = 0,
|  | ACE_Reactor_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. Implements 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. Implements 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.
