stxxl::request_interface Class Referenceabstract
I/O Primitives Layer

Detailed Description

Functional interface of a request.

Since all library I/O operations are asynchronous, one needs to keep track of their status: e.g. whether an I/O operation completed or not.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool stxxl::request_interface::add_waiter ( onoff_switch *  sw)
pure virtual

Implemented in stxxl::request_with_waiters.

virtual bool stxxl::request_interface::cancel ( )
pure virtual

Cancel a request.

The request is canceled unless already being processed. However, cancelation cannot be guaranteed. Canceled requests must still be waited for in order to ensure correct operation. If the request was canceled successfully, the completion handler will not be called.

Returns
true iff the request was canceled successfully

Implemented in stxxl::request_with_state.

virtual void stxxl::request_interface::completed ( )
protectedpure virtual

Implemented in stxxl::request, and stxxl::serving_request.

virtual void stxxl::request_interface::delete_waiter ( onoff_switch *  sw)
pure virtual

Implemented in stxxl::request_with_waiters.

virtual const char* stxxl::request_interface::io_type ( ) const
pure virtual

Identifies the type of I/O implementation.

Returns
pointer to null terminated string of characters, containing the name of I/O implementation

Implemented in stxxl::serving_request.

Referenced by stxxl::request::check_nref_failed().

virtual void stxxl::request_interface::notify_waiters ( )
protectedpure virtual

Implemented in stxxl::request_with_waiters.

Referenced by stxxl::request::completed().

virtual bool stxxl::request_interface::poll ( )
pure virtual

Polls the status of the request.

Returns
true if request is completed, otherwise false

Implemented in stxxl::request_with_state.

virtual std::ostream& stxxl::request_interface::print ( std::ostream &  out) const
pure virtual

Dumps properties of a request.

Implemented in stxxl::request.

virtual void stxxl::request_interface::serve ( )
pure virtual

Implemented in stxxl::serving_request.

Referenced by stxxl::fileperblock_file< base_file_type >::serve(), stxxl::request_queue_impl_1q::worker(), and stxxl::request_queue_impl_qwqr::worker().

virtual void stxxl::request_interface::wait ( bool  measure_time = true)
pure virtual

Suspends calling thread until completion of the request.

Implemented in stxxl::request_with_state.

examples/algo/sort_file.cpp.
