Detailed Description

[DEPRECATED]
Asynchronous interface to the correlator.

A per-plugin instance of this class can be obtained by calling AP_Context::getCorrelator(). Methods of this class may be invoked from background threads.

Deprecated:: This class has been deprecated.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual AP_CorrelatorInterface::~AP_CorrelatorInterface ( )

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Destructor

Member Function Documentation

virtual void AP_CorrelatorInterface::pluginNowBlocking ( ) const

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Called by the plugin when it performs a potentially blocking operation.

A no-op if the plugin doesn't also declare itself as non-blocking via the AP_PLUGIN_GET_CAPABILITIES_FUNCTION_NAME. Potentially blocking operations include sendEventTo.

This form should be called if there is no AP_Context object supplied, such as in a destructor. It should only be called on the thread calling into the plugin from the correlator.

virtual void AP_CorrelatorInterface::sendEvent ( const char * event )

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Send an event to the correlator

Parameters

event the event to send. The event is represented as a string using the format described in the manual. See AP_EventWriter.h for utility code to help build valid event strings.

virtual void AP_CorrelatorInterface::sendEventTo	(	const char *	event,
		AP_uint64	targetContext,
		AP_uint64	sourceContext
	)

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Send an event to a specific context in the correlator

Parameters

event	the event to send. The event is represented as a string using the format described in the manual. See AP_EventWriter.h for utility code to help build valid event strings.
targetContext	the target context.
sourceContext	the source context. Must be as returned from AP_Context.getContextId(), or 0 if called from a plugin thread.

Deprecated:

 This function is deprecated in favour of calling sendEventTo that takes a const AP_Context&.

In particular, you may not call this function from a plugin event handler and must pass in an AP_Context& to avoid deadlocks.

virtual void AP_CorrelatorInterface::sendEventTo	(	const char *	event,
		AP_uint64	targetContext,
		const AP_Context &	source
	)

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Send an event to a specific context in the correlator

Parameters

event	the event to send. The event is represented as a string using the format described in the manual. See AP_EventWriter.h for utility code to help build valid event strings.
targetContext	the target context.
source	the source context or handler. Must be the AP_Context passed to your function, or AP_Context::NoContext() if called from a plugin thread.

virtual void AP_CorrelatorInterface::sendEventTo	(	const char *	event,
		const char *	targetChannel,
		const AP_Context &	source
	)

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Send an event to a specific channel in/out of the correlator

Parameters

event	the event to send. The event is represented as a string using the format described in the manual. See AP_EventWriter.h for utility code to help build valid event strings.
targetChannel	the target channel name.
source	the source context or handler. Must be the AP_Context passed to your function, or AP_Context::NoContext() if called from a plugin thread.

void AP_CorrelatorInterface::subscribe	(	const AP_EventHandlerInterface::ptr_t &	handler,
		std::initializer_list< const char * >	channels
	)

inline

Deprecated:: Subscribe an event handler to a list of channels.

If this event handler is already subscribed to one or more channels, then the channels you specify in this call are added to that subscription (quashing duplicates). Otherwise a new subscription is created for the new channels.

This method uses smart pointers for reference counting and an initializer list (C++11) so should be called like this:

correlator->subscribe(AP_EventHandlerInterface::ptr_t(new MyHandlerType()), { "channel one", "channel two" });

Parameters

handler	The event handler to subscribe.
channels	A list of the channels to subscribe to.

template<typename ITER >

void AP_CorrelatorInterface::subscribe	(	const AP_EventHandlerInterface::ptr_t &	handler,
		const ITER &	start,
		const ITER &	end
	)

inline

Deprecated:: Subscribe an event handler to a list of channels.

If this event handler is already subscribed to one or more channels, then the channels you specify in this call are added to that subscription (quashing duplicates). Otherwise a new subscription is created for the new channels.

This method uses smart pointers for reference counting and an iterator pair, so should be called like this:

correlator->subscribe(AP_EventHandlerInterface::ptr_t(new MyHandlerType()), channels.begin(), channels.end());

or (with an array of char*s):

correlator->subscribe(AP_EventHandlerInterface::ptr_t(new MyHandlerType()), channels+0, channels+n);

equivalent to: for (auto it = start; it != end; ++it) { subscribe(my_handle, *it); }

The iterators must dereference to something which can be cast to a const char*

Parameters

handler	The event handler to subscribe.
start	The iterator to start from
end	The iterator to end at

template<typename T >

void AP_CorrelatorInterface::subscribe	(	const AP_EventHandlerInterface::ptr_t &	handler,
		const T &	channel

void AP_CorrelatorInterface::unsubscribe	(	const AP_EventHandlerInterface::ptr_t &	handler,
		std::initializer_list< const char * >	channels
	)

inline

Deprecated:: Unsubscribe an event handler from a list of channels.

If this results in the handler being subscribed to no channels, then removes that subscription entirely (which may result in deleting the handler if it has no other references).

This method uses smart pointers for reference counting and an initializer list (C++11) so should be called like this:

correlator->unsubscribe(my_handler, { "channel one", "channel two" });

Parameters

handler	The event handler to unsubscribe.
channels	A list of the channels to unsubscribe from.

template<typename ITER >

		const ITER &	start,

Deprecated:: Unsubscribe an event handler from a list of channels.

If this results in the handler being subscribed to no channels, then removes that subscription entirely (which may result in deleting the handler if it has no other references).

correlator->unsubscribe(my_handler, channels.begin(), channels.end());

Parameters

handler	The event handler to unsubscribe.
start	The iterator to start from

inline

Deprecated:: Unsubscribe an event handler from a channel.

If this results in the handler being subscribed to no channels, then removes that subscription entirely (which may result in deleting the handler if it has no other references).

This method uses smart pointers for reference counting.

Parameters

handler	The event handler to unsubscribe.
channel	The channel to unsubscribe from (must be castable to a char*)

virtual void AP_CorrelatorInterface::unsubscribe ( const AP_EventHandlerInterface::ptr_t & handler )

pure virtual

Deprecated:: Unsubscribe an event handler from all channels.

This may result in deleting the handler if it has no other references.

Parameters

handler The event handler to unsubscribe.
