Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Terminee()

Terminee::Terminee

(

const char *

name

)

Constructor.

Parameters

name	is the nickname to register on the name server.

Definition at line 70 of file Terminator.cpp.

~Terminee()

Terminee::~Terminee ( )

virtual

Destructor.

Definition at line 107 of file Terminator.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

isOk()

bool Terminee::isOk

(

)

const

Check whether the message mechanism is ok.

Returns

true if ok, false otherwise.

Definition at line 154 of file Terminator.cpp.

mustQuit()

bool Terminee::mustQuit

(

)

const

Call this method to see whether a quit message has been received.

Returns

true is a quit has been received, false otherwise.

Definition at line 148 of file Terminator.cpp.

onStop()

void Terminee::onStop ( )

overridevirtual

Call-back, called while halting the thread (before join).

This callback is executed by the same thread that calls stop(). It should not be called directly. Override this method to do the right thing for your particular Thread::run.

Reimplemented from yarp::os::Thread.

Definition at line 100 of file Terminator.cpp.

run()

void Terminee::run ( )

overridevirtual

Main body of the new thread.

Override this method to do what you want. After Thread::start is called, this method will start running in a separate thread. It is important that this method either keeps checking Thread::isStopping to see if it should stop, or you override the Thread::onStop method to interact with it in some way to shut the new thread down. There is no really reliable, portable way to stop a thread cleanly unless that thread cooperates.

Implements yarp::os::Thread.

Definition at line 122 of file Terminator.cpp.

waitQuit()

bool Terminee::waitQuit

(

)

const

Call this method to wait for a quit message.

Returns

true if a quit message has been received

Definition at line 142 of file Terminator.cpp.
