Detailed Description

template<class T>
class RTT::internal::ListLockFree< T >

A simple lock-free list implementation to append or erase data of type T.

If T is a value type, no memory allocation is done during appending or erasing. The maximum number of threads which can access this object is defined by MAX_THREADS.

Parameters
TThe value type to be stored in the list. If T is a type that does memory allocation or deallocation in copy-constructor or destructor, certain functions of this list will not be real-time. Example : ListLockFree is a list which holds values of type A.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class T>
RTT::internal::ListLockFree< T >::ListLockFree ( unsigned int  lsize,
unsigned int  threads = ORONUM_OS_MAX_THREADS 
)
inline

Create a lock-free list wich can store lsize elements.

Parameters
lsizethe capacity of the list.
threadsthe number of threads which may concurrently read or write this buffer. Defaults to ORONUM_OS_MAX_THREADS, but you may lower this number in case not all threads will read this buffer. A lower number will consume less memory. '

Member Function Documentation

template<class T>
bool RTT::internal::ListLockFree< T >::append ( value_t  item)
inline

Append a single value to the list.

This function calls the copy-constructor of item and may call the destructor of item

Parameters
itemthe value to write
Returns
false if the list is full.
Note
This function is only real-time if the destructor or copy-constructor of of T is real-time.

template<class T>
size_t RTT::internal::ListLockFree< T >::append ( const std::vector< T > &  items)
inline

Append a sequence of values to the list.

Parameters
itemsthe values to append.
Returns
the number of values written (may be less than d.size())
Note
This function is only real-time if the destructor and copy-constructor of of T is real-time.

Definition at line 401 of file ListLockFree.hpp.

template<class T>
template<class Function >
void RTT::internal::ListLockFree< T >::apply ( Function  func)
inline

Apply a function to the elements of the whole list.

Parameters
funcThe function to apply.
Note
Always real-time.

Definition at line 524 of file ListLockFree.hpp.

template<class T>
template<class Function >
void RTT::internal::ListLockFree< T >::apply_and_blank ( Function  func,
value_t  blank 
)
inline

Apply a function to the non-blanked elements of the list.

If during an apply_and_blank, the erase_and_blank function is called, that element will not be subject to func if not yet processed. You must not call this function concurrently from multiple threads.

Parameters
funcThe function to apply.
blankThe 'blank' item. Each item of this list will be compared to this item using operator==(), if it matches, it is considered blank, and func is not applied.

erase_and_blank
Deprecated:
This complicated function is nowhere used.
Note
This function is only real-time if the destructor and copy-constructor of of T is real-time.

Definition at line 552 of file ListLockFree.hpp.

template<class T>
value_t RTT::internal::ListLockFree< T >::back ( ) const
inline

Returns the last element of the list.

Definition at line 385 of file ListLockFree.hpp.

template<class T>
size_t RTT::internal::ListLockFree< T >::capacity ( ) const
inline

Returns the maximum number of elements this list can hold.

Note
Always real-time.

Definition at line 178 of file ListLockFree.hpp.

template<class T>
void RTT::internal::ListLockFree< T >::clear ( )
inline

Clears all elements in the list.

Postcondition
this->empty() == true
Note
This function is not real-time if the destructor of of T is not real-time.

Definition at line 316 of file ListLockFree.hpp.

template<class T>
template<typename Pred >
bool RTT::internal::ListLockFree< T >::delete_if ( Pred  pred)
inline

Erase a value from the list.

Parameters
functioneach elements for which pred returns true are removed
Returns
true if at least one element has been removed
Note
This function is only real-time if the destructor and copy-constructor of of T is real-time.

Definition at line 480 of file ListLockFree.hpp.

template<class T>
bool RTT::internal::ListLockFree< T >::empty ( ) const
inline

Returns true if this list is empty.

Note
Always real-time.

template<class T>
bool RTT::internal::ListLockFree< T >::erase ( value_t  item)
inline

Erase a value from the list.

Parameters
itemis to be erased from the list.
Returns
true if found and erased.
Note
This function is only real-time if the destructor and copy-constructor of of T is real-time.

Definition at line 438 of file ListLockFree.hpp.

template<class T>
bool RTT::internal::ListLockFree< T >::erase_and_blank ( value_t  item,
value_t  blank 
)
inline

Erase an element from the list and blank it if possible.

If during an apply_and_blank, the erase_and_blank function is called, that element will not be subject to func if not yet processed. You may call this function concurrently from multiple threads.

Warning
It is possible that item is being processed within apply_and_blank. In that case the 'blank' operation has no effect.
Parameters
itemThe item to erase from the list.
blankThe 'blank' item to use to blank item from the list.

Find an item in the list such that func( item ) == true.

Parameters
blankThe value to return if not found.
Returns
The item that matches func(item) or blank if none matches.
Note
This function is only real-time if the copy-constructor of of T is real-time.

template<class T>
value_t RTT::internal::ListLockFree< T >::front ( ) const

template<class T>
void RTT::internal::ListLockFree< T >::grow ( size_t  items = 1)
inline

Grow the capacity to contain at least n additional items.

This method tries to avoid too much re-allocations, by growing a bit more than required every N invocations and growing nothing in between.

Parameters
itemsThe number of items to at least additionally reserve.
Note
Almost never real-time.

Definition at line 224 of file ListLockFree.hpp.

template<class T>
void RTT::internal::ListLockFree< T >::reserve ( size_t  lsize)
inline

Reserve a capacity for this list.

If you wish to invoke this method concurrently, guard it with a mutex. The other methods may be invoked concurrently with this method.

Parameters
lsizethe minimal number of items this list will be able to hold. Will not drop below the current capacity() and this method will do nothing if lsize < this->capacity(). @ Not real-time if lsize <= this->capacity().

template<class T>
void RTT::internal::ListLockFree< T >::shrink ( size_t  items = 1)
inline

Shrink the capacity with at most n items.

This method does not actually free memory, it just prevents a (number of) subsequent grow() invocations to allocate more memory.

Parameters
itemsThe number of items to at most remove from the capacity.
Note
Always real-time.

Definition at line 238 of file ListLockFree.hpp.

template<class T>
size_t RTT::internal::ListLockFree< T >::size ( ) const
inline

Returns the current number of elements in this list.

Note
