Detailed Description

Guarded interface to Bell objects used by user applications.

Implements the system call interface for class Bell. All methods provided by this class are wrappers for the respective method from the base class, which provide additional synchronization by using the class Guarded.

Member Function Documentation

residual()

unsigned int GuardedBell::residual ( )

inline

Returns the residual waiting time.

Will use Bellringer::residual().

Returns

Time in milliseconds until the bell rings

Optional

Implement Method

Note

This method is equal to the correspondent method in base class Bell, with the only difference that the call will be protected by a Guarded object.

Optional

Implement method

set()

void GuardedBell::set ( unsigned int ms )

inline

Set the bell's waiting time.

This method can be used to set the desired waiting time.

Parameters

ms	Time in milliseconds; will be passed to Bellringer::job()

Optional

Implement Method

Note

This method is equal to the correspondent method in base class Bell, with the only difference that the call will be protected by a Guarded object.

sleep() [1/2]

void GuardedBell::sleep ( )

inline

Sleep until the bell rings.

The bell needs to be configured via Bell::set() prior to calling this method and should not have rung already. (see Bell::residual()).

Optional

Implement Method

Note

This method is equal to the correspondent method in base class Bell, with the only difference that the call will be protected by a Guarded object.

sleep() [2/2]

static void GuardedBell::sleep ( unsigned int ms )

inlinestatic

Sleep until the bell rings.

The bell needs to be configured via Bell::set() prior to calling this method and should not have rung already. (see Bell::residual()).

Optional

Implement Method

Note

This method is equal to the correspondent method in base class Bell, with the only difference that the call will be protected by a Guarded object.
