bool RTT::Activity::breakLoop ( ) [virtual, inherited]
void RTT::base::ActivityInterface::disableRun ( RunnableInterface caller) [inline, protected, inherited]

This method is only meant for RunnableInterface (ie runner) in order to inform the ActivityInterface it should no longer be used.

run(0) can not be used in this case because it would recurse.

Definition at line 73 of file ActivityInterface.hpp.

Referenced by RTT::base::RunnableInterface::setActivity(), and RTT::base::RunnableInterface::~RunnableInterface().

bool RTT::Activity::execute ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Execute this activity such that it executes a step or loop of the RunnableInterface.

When you invoke execute() you intend to call the step() or loop() methods. Some activity implementations allow a user controlled execute, others ignore it, in which case execute() returns false.

Semantics: If execute() returns true, the activity has been executed exactly once during execute().

Return values:
trueWhen this->isActive() and the implementation allows external executes.
falseWhen !this->isActive() or the implementation does not allow external updating.
See also:
trigger() for use in callbacks which want execute() to be executed.

Implements RTT::base::ActivityInterface.

Definition at line 131 of file Activity.cpp.

void RTT::Activity::finalize ( ) [virtual, inherited]
See also:
base::RunnableInterface::finalize()

Reimplemented from RTT::os::Thread.

Reimplemented in RTT::corba::OrbRunner.

Definition at line 113 of file Activity.cpp.

References RTT::base::RunnableInterface::finalize().

unsigned RTT::Activity::getCpuAffinity ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Get the cpu affinity of this activity.

Returns:
The cpu affinity of this activity.

Implements RTT::base::ActivityInterface.

Definition at line 158 of file Activity.cpp.

Seconds RTT::Activity::getPeriod ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Get the periodicity of this activity in Seconds.

Returns:
The execution period of this activity (zero if !this->isPeriodic() ).

Implements RTT::base::ActivityInterface.

Definition at line 143 of file Activity.cpp.

nsecs RTT::os::Thread::getPeriodNS ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Get the periodicity in nanoseconds.

Return zero if non periodic.

Implements RTT::os::ThreadInterface.

Definition at line 583 of file Thread.cpp.

unsigned int RTT::os::Thread::getPid ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Returns the Process or Thread ID of this thread, as assigned by the Operating System.

This function tries to return the Thread ID, if the OS supports it, otherwise it returns the process ID. If that is not available either, zero is returned. On Linux systems for example, the Thread ID of the main thread is equal to the Process ID. The Thread ID of every newly created thread is different from the Process ID (and unique).

Implements RTT::os::ThreadInterface.

Definition at line 598 of file Thread.cpp.

References RTT::os::rtos_task_get_pid().

int RTT::os::Thread::getPriority ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

The priority of this Thread.

Returns:
The priority given upon construction of this thread or set with setPriority. The returned number has to be interpreted in the current OS scheduler.

int RTT::os::Thread::getScheduler ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Get the scheduler policy in which this thread runs.

Returns:
An OS-specific value which represents the used scheduler.

virtual RTOS_TASK* RTT::os::Thread::getTask ( ) [inline, virtual, inherited]

Get the RTOS_TASK pointer.

Note:
Using this function leads to non-portable code. It is here for users which wish to tweak OS specific thread settings.

bool RTT::Activity::initialize ( ) [virtual, inherited]
bool RTT::Activity::isActive ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Query if the activity is started.

This is less strict than isRunning(), it is true during initialize(), step() or loop() and finalize(). Use this method to check if an activity was start()ed.

Returns:
true if it is active, false otherwise

Implements RTT::base::ActivityInterface.

Definition at line 139 of file Activity.cpp.

Referenced by RTT::Activity::trigger().

bool RTT::Activity::isPeriodic ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Inspect if this activity is periodic.

If so, it will call RunnableInterface::step(). If the activity is not periodic, it will call RunnableInterface::loop().

Returns:
true if periodic.

Implements RTT::base::ActivityInterface.

Definition at line 154 of file Activity.cpp.

bool RTT::Activity::isRunning ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Query if the activity is initialized and executing.

This is more strict than isActive(), it is only true after initialize() is executed and before finalize() is executed. More-over, an Activity may decide to be temporarily not running (not executing code), waiting for a signal to proceed. If this->isActive() and !this->isRunning() then the Activity is in a waiting state.

Returns:
true if it is running, false otherwise

Implements RTT::base::ActivityInterface.

Reimplemented in RTT::extras::FileDescriptorActivity.

Definition at line 135 of file Activity.cpp.

void RTT::Activity::loop ( ) [virtual, inherited]
bool ActivityInterface::run ( RunnableInterface r) [virtual, inherited]

Run exclusively this RunnableInterface.

Precondition:
this->isRunning() == false
Parameters:
rThe RunnableInterface to run exclusively.
Returns:
true if succeeded, false otherwise

Definition at line 163 of file Activity.cpp.

bool RTT::Activity::setPeriod ( Seconds  s) [virtual, inherited]

Set the periodicity of this activity in Seconds.

Note that not all activity implementation support periods. A period of s == 0 indicates non periodic. A non supported setting returns false.

Returns:
true if it could be updated, false otherwise.

Implements RTT::base::ActivityInterface.

Definition at line 148 of file Activity.cpp.

bool RTT::os::Thread::setPriority ( int  priority) [virtual, inherited]

Set the priority of this Thread.

Parameters:
priorityThe priority given upon construction of this thread. It has to be interpreted in the current OS scheduler.

Definition at line 563 of file Thread.cpp.

References RTT::os::rtos_task_set_priority().

bool RTT::os::Thread::setScheduler ( int  sched_type) [virtual, inherited]

Change the scheduler policy in which this thread runs.

Parameters:
sched_typeAn OS-specific value which selects a scheduler. Orocos requires that these two values are available:
  • ORO_SCHED_RT: Hint the OS that this thread should be scheduled as a priority or real-time process.
  • ORO_SCHED_OTHER: Hint the OS that this thread should not be scheduled as a priority or real-time process.

Your OS can in addition provide other sched_type's which map more naturally to the schedulers present. If your OS does not make a distinction between real-time and other, both values may map to the same scheduler type.

Returns:
true if the change could be made.

This value is suggestive and may be altered or ignored by your operating system. Use zero to use the system's default.

Parameters:
ssizethe size of the stack in bytes

Definition at line 73 of file Thread.cpp.

void RTT::os::Thread::setWaitPeriodPolicy ( int  p) [virtual, inherited]

Set the wait policy of a periodic thread.

Parameters:

os::ThreadInterface * RTT::Activity::thread ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Returns a pointer to the thread which will run this activity.

Will not be null.

Implements RTT::base::ActivityInterface.

Definition at line 85 of file Activity.cpp.

bool RTT::Activity::trigger ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Trigger that work has to be done.

When you invoke trigger(), you intend to notify the mechanism that calls execute(), that execute() should be called. This allows a separation between actually executing code (execute()) and notifying that code must be executed (trigger()). A trigger may be ignored by the implementation, in which case trigger returns false.

Semantics: If trigger() returns true, the activity will be executed at least once from the moment trigger() is called.

Return values:
trueWhen this->isActive() and the implementation allows external triggers.
falseWhen !this->isActive() or the implementation does not allow external triggering.
