Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Event()

yarp::os::Event::Event

(

bool

autoResetAfterWait = true

)

Constructor.

Sets the initial value of the counter.

~Event()

yarp::os::Event::~Event ( )

virtual

Destructor.

Definition at line 79 of file Event.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

reset()

void yarp::os::Event::reset

(

)

Put the event in a reset state.

Definition at line 94 of file Event.cpp.

signal()

void yarp::os::Event::signal

(

)

Put the event in a signaled state.

A thread wait()ing for the event will wake up. If the event was created with autoResetAfterWait set, then at most one thread will wake up (and then automatically reset the event), otherwise all waiting threads will wake up.

Definition at line 89 of file Event.cpp.

wait()

void yarp::os::Event::wait

(

)

Wait for the event to be signaled.

If the event was created with autoResetAfterWait set, then after a wait the event will automatically be reset. That means that any other thread waiting for the same event will not be woken up by the signal that wakes up this call to wait().
