Enqueue and dequeue methods
The enqueue and dequeue methods accept a timeout value passed as an ACE_Time_Value *. In all cases, if the timeout pointer is 0, the caller will block until action is possible. If the timeout pointer is non-zero, the call will wait (if needed, subject to water mark settings) until the absolute time specified in the referenced ACE_Time_Value object is reached. If the time is reached before the desired action is possible, the method will return -1 with errno set to `EWOULDBLOCK`. Regardless of the timeout setting, however, these methods will also fail and return -1 when the queue is closed, deactivated, pulsed, or when a signal occurs. See C++NPv2 Section 6.2 and APG Section 12.3 for a fuller treatment of ACE_Message_Queue, enqueueing, dequeueing, and how these operations are affected by queue state transitions.

Detailed Description

template<ACE_SYNCH_DECL>
class ACE_Message_Queue<>

A message queueing facility with parameterized synchronization capability. ACE_Message_Queue is modeled after the queueing facilities in System V STREAMs.

ACE_Message_Queue is the primary queueing facility for messages in the ACE framework. It's one template argument parameterizes the queue's synchronization. The argument specifies a synchronization strategy. The two main strategies available for ACE_SYNCH_DECL are:

ACE_MT_SYNCH: all operations are thread-safe
ACE_NULL_SYNCH: no synchronization and no locking overhead

All data passing through ACE_Message_Queue is in the form of ACE_Message_Block objects.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<ACE_SYNCH_DECL >

ACE_Message_Queue<>::ACE_Message_Queue ( size_t hwm = ACE_Message_Queue_Base::DEFAULT_HWM,

size_t lwm = ACE_Message_Queue_Base::DEFAULT_LWM,

ACE_Notification_Strategy * ns = 0

)

Initialize an ACE_Message_Queue.

Parameters:

hwm High water mark. Determines how many bytes can be stored in a queue before it's considered full. Supplier threads must block until the queue is no longer full.

lwm Low water mark. Determines how many bytes must be in the queue before supplier threads are allowed to enqueue additional data. By default, the hwm equals lwm, which means that suppliers will be able to enqueue new messages as soon as a consumer removes any message from the queue. Making the low water mark smaller than the high water mark forces consumers to drain more messages from the queue before suppliers can enqueue new messages, which can minimize the "silly window syndrome."

ns Notification strategy. Pointer to an object conforming to the ACE_Notification_Strategy interface. If set, the object's notify(void) method will be called each time data is added to this ACE_Message_Queue.

virtual int ACE_Message_Queue<>::peek_dequeue_head ( ACE_Message_Block *& first_item,

ACE_Time_Value * timeout = 0

) [virtual]

Retrieve a pointer to the first ACE_Message_Block in the queue without removing it.

Note:
Because the block whose pointer is returned is still on the queue, another thread may dequeue the referenced block at any time, including before the calling thread examines the peeked-at block. Be very careful with this method in multithreaded queueing situations.

Parameters:

first_item Reference to an ACE_Message_Block * that will point to the first block on the queue. The block remains on the queue until this or another thread dequeues it.

timeout The absolute time the caller will wait until for a block to be queued.

Return values:

>0 The number of ACE_Message_Blocks on the queue.

-1 On failure. errno holds the reason. Common errno values are:

EWOULDBLOCK: the timeout elapsed
ESHUTDOWN: the queue was deactivated or pulsed

Implements ACE_Message_Queue_Base.
Reimplemented in ACE_Dynamic_Message_Queue<>.

virtual int ACE_Message_Queue<>::pulse ( void ) [virtual]

Pulse the queue to wake up any waiting threads. Changes the queue state to PULSED; future enqueue/dequeue operations proceed as in ACTIVATED state.

Returns:
The queue's state before this call.

Implements ACE_Message_Queue_Base.
