propagator_block Class

Artigo
04/28/2015

The propagator_block class is an abstract base class for message blocks that are both a source and target. It combines the functionality of both the source_block and target_block classes.

template<
   class _TargetLinkRegistry,
   class _SourceLinkRegistry,
   class _MessageProcessorType = ordered_message_processor<typename _TargetLinkRegistry::type::type>
>
class propagator_block : public source_block<_TargetLinkRegistry, _MessageProcessorType>, public ITarget<typename _SourceLinkRegistry::type::source_type>;

Parameters

_TargetLinkRegistry
The link registry to be used for holding the target links.
_SourceLinkRegistry
The link registry to be used for holding the source links.
_MessageProcessorType
The processor type for message processing.

Members

Public Typedefs

Name	Description
source_iterator	The type of the iterator for the source_link_manager for this propagator_block.

Public Constructors

Name	Description
propagator_block::propagator_block Constructor	Constructs a propagator_block object.
propagator_block::~propagator_block Destructor	Destroys a propagator_block object.

Public Methods

Name	Description
propagator_block::propagate Method	Asynchronously passes a message from a source block to this target block.
propagator_block::send Method	Synchronously initiates a message to this block. Called by an ISource block. When this function completes, the message will already have propagated into the block.

Protected Methods

Name	Description
propagator_block::decline_incoming_messages Method	Indicates to the block that new messages should be declined.
propagator_block::initialize_source_and_target Method	Initializes the base object. Specifically, the message_processor object needs to be initialized.
propagator_block::link_source Method	Links a specified source block to this propagator_block object.
propagator_block::process_input_messages Method	Process input messages. This is only useful for propagator blocks, which derive from source_block (Overrides source_block::process_input_messages.)
propagator_block::propagate_message Method	When overridden in a derived class, this method asynchronously passes a message from an ISource block to this propagator_block object. It is invoked by the propagate method, when called by a source block.
propagator_block::register_filter Method	Registers a filter method that will be invoked on every received message.
propagator_block::remove_network_links Method	Removes all the source and target network links from this propagator_block object.
propagator_block::send_message Method	When overridden in a derived class, this method synchronously passes a message from an ISource block to this propagator_block object. It is invoked by the send method, when called by a source block.
propagator_block::unlink_source Method	Unlinks a specified source block from this propagator_block object.
propagator_block::unlink_sources Method	Unlinks all source blocks from this propagator_block object. (Overrides ITarget::unlink_sources.)

Remarks

To avoid multiple inheritance, the propagator_block class inherits from the source_block class and ITarget abstract class. Most of the functionality in the target_block class is replicated here.
