Member Function Documentation

void TTYStream::allocate ( void )

protectedinherited

Used to allocate the buffer space needed for iostream operations.

This is based on MAX_INPUT.

virtual int Serial::aRead	(	char *	Data,
		const int	Length
	)

protectedvirtualinherited

Reads from serial device.

Parameters

Data	Point to character buffer to receive data. Buffers MUST be at least Length + 1 bytes in size.
Length	Number of bytes to read.

virtual int Serial::aWrite	(	const char *	Data,
		const int	Length
	)

protectedvirtualinherited

Writes to serial device.

Parameters

Data	Point to character buffer containing data to write. Buffers MUST
Length	Number of bytes to write.

void Serial::close ( void )

protectedinherited

Closes the serial device.

void Thread::clrParent ( void )

inlineprotectedinherited

clear parent thread relationship.

Definition at line 1295 of file thread.h.

int Thread::detach ( Semaphore * start = 0 )

inherited

Start a new thread as "detached".

This is an alternative start() method that resolves some issues with later glibc implimentations which incorrectly impliment self-detach.

Returns: error code if execution fails.

Parameters

start optional starting semaphore to alternately use.

void Serial::endSerial ( void )

protectedinherited

Used as the default destructor for ending serial I/O services.

It will restore the port to it's original state.

void TTYStream::endStream ( void )

protectedinherited

Used to terminate the buffer space and clean up the tty connection.

This function is called by the destructor.

static Cancel Thread::enterCancel ( void )

staticinherited

This is used to help build wrapper functions in libraries around system calls that should behave as cancellation points but don't.

Returns: saved cancel type.

Error Serial::error	(	Error	error,
		char *	errstr = `NULL`
	)

protectedinherited

This service is used to throw all serial errors which usually occur during the serial constructor.

Parameters

error	defined serial error id.
errstr	string or message to optionally pass.

void Serial::error ( char * err )

inlineprotectedinherited

This service is used to thow application defined serial errors where the application specific error code is a string.

Parameters

err	string or message to pass.

Definition at line 209 of file serial.h.

void Thread::exit ( void )

protectedinherited

Used to properly exit from a Thread derived run() or initial() method.

Terminates execution of the current thread and calls the derived classes final() method.

static void Thread::exitCancel ( Cancel cancel )

staticinherited

This is used to restore a cancel block.

Parameters

cancel type that was saved.

virtual void Thread::final ( void )

protectedvirtualinherited

A thread that is self terminating, either by invoking exit() or leaving it's run(), will have this method called.

It can be used to self delete the current object assuming the object was created with new on the heap rather than stack local, hence one may often see final defined as "delete this" in a derived thread class. A final method, while running, cannot be terminated or cancelled by another thread. Final is called for all cancellation type (even immediate).

You can safe delete thread ("delete this") class on final, but you should exit ASAP (or do not try to call CommonC++ methods...)

Note: A thread cannot delete its own context or join itself. To make a thread that is a self running object that self-deletes, one has to detach the thread by using detach() instead of start().

See Also: exit; run

Reimplemented in ThreadQueue.

void Serial::flushInput ( void )

protectedinherited

Used to flush the input waiting queue.

void Serial::flushOutput ( void )

protectedinherited

Used to flush any pending output data.

static Thread* Thread::get ( void )

staticinherited

int Serial::getBufferSize ( void )

inlineinherited

Get the "buffer" size for buffered operations.

This can be used when setting packet or line read modes to determine how many bytes to wait for in a given read call.

Returns: number of bytes used for buffering.

Definition at line 387 of file serial.h.

Cancel Thread::getCancel ( void )

inlineinherited

Used to retrieve the cancellation mode in effect for the selected thread.

Returns: cancellation mode constant.

Definition at line 1419 of file thread.h.

Error Serial::getErrorNumber ( void )

inlineinherited

Often used by a "catch" to fetch the last error of a thrown serial.

Returns: error numbr of last Error.

Definition at line 368 of file serial.h.

char* Serial::getErrorString ( void )

inlineinherited

Often used by a "catch" to fetch the user set error string of a thrown serial.

Returns: string for error message.

Definition at line 377 of file serial.h.

static Throw Thread::getException ( void )

staticinherited

Get exception mode of the current thread.

Returns: exception mode.

virtual void* Thread::getExtended ( void )

protectedvirtualinherited

Since getParent() and getThread() only refer to an object of the Thread "base" type, this virtual method can be replaced in a derived class with something that returns data specific to the derived class that can still be accessed through the pointer returned by getParent() and getThread().

Returns: pointer to derived class specific data.

cctid_t Thread::getId ( void ) const

inherited

Get system thread numeric identifier.

Returns: numeric identifier of this thread.

const char* Thread::getName ( void ) const

inlineinherited

Get the name string for this thread, to use in debug messages.

Returns: debug name.

Definition at line 1463 of file thread.h.

Thread* Thread::getParent ( void )

inlineinherited

Returns: a Thread *, or "(Thread *)this" if no parent.

Definition at line 1397 of file thread.h.

void Serial::initConfig ( void )

protectedinherited

Used to initialize a newly opened serial file handle.

You should set serial properties and DTR manually before first use.

virtual void Thread::initial ( void )

protectedvirtualinherited

The initial method is called by a newly created thread when it starts execution.

This method is ran with deferred cancellation disabled by default. The Initial method is given a separate handler so that it can create temporary objects on it's own stack frame, rather than having objects created on run() that are only needed by startup and yet continue to consume stack space.

See Also: run; final

Reimplemented in TCPSession, and UnixSession.

void TTYStream::interactive ( bool flag )

inherited

Set tty mode to buffered or "interactive".

When interactive, all streamed I/O is directly sent to the serial port immediately.

Parameters

flag	bool set to true to make interactive.

bool Thread::isDetached ( void ) const

inherited

Check if this thread is detached.

Returns: true if the thread is detached.

bool TTYStream::isPending	(	Pending	pend,
		timeout_t	timeout = `TIMEOUT_INF`
	)

virtualinherited

Get the status of pending operations.

This can be used to examine if input or output is waiting, or if an error has occured on the serial device. If read buffer contains data then input is ready and if write buffer contains data it is first flushed then checked.

Returns: true if ready, false if timeout.

Parameters

pend	ready check to perform.
timeout	in milliseconds.

Reimplemented from Serial.

bool Thread::isRunning ( void ) const

inherited

Verifies if the thread is still running or has already been terminated but not yet deleted.

void Thread::join ( void )

inherited

Blocking call which unlocks when thread terminates.

virtual void Thread::notify ( Thread * )

protectedvirtualinherited

When a thread terminates, it now sends a notification message to the parent thread which created it.

The actual use of this notification is left to be defined in a derived class.

Parameters

-	the thread that has terminated.

void Serial::open ( const char * fname )

protectedinherited

Opens the serial device.

Parameters

fname Pathname of device to open

int TTYStream::overflow ( int ch )

void Serial::restore ( void )

protectedinherited

Restore serial device to the original settings at time of open.

void Thread::resume ( void )

inherited

Resumes execution of the selected thread.

virtual void Thread::run ( void )

protectedpure virtualinherited

All threads execute by deriving the Run method of Thread.

This method is called after Initial to begin normal operation of the thread. If the method terminates, then the thread will also terminate after notifying it's parent and calling it's Final() method.

See Also: Initial

Implemented in SerialService, SingleThreadRTPSession< RTPDataChannel, RTCPChannel, ServiceQueue >, SocketService, ThreadQueue, and SingleRTPSessionPool.

void Serial::sendBreak ( void )

inherited

Send the "break" signal.

void Thread::setCancel ( Cancel mode )

protectedinherited

Error Serial::setCharBits ( int bits )

inherited

Set character size.

Returns: 0 on success.

Parameters

bits	character size to use (usually 7 or 8).

void Serial::setError ( bool enable )

inlineprotectedinherited

This method is used to turn the error handler on or off for "throwing" execptions by manipulating the thrown flag.

Parameters

enable true to enable handler.

Definition at line 219 of file serial.h.

inherited

Set flow control.

Returns: 0 on success.

Parameters

flow	control mode.

int Serial::setLineInput	(	char	newline = `13`,
		char	nl1 = `0`
	)

protectedinherited

Set "line buffering" read mode and specifies the newline character to be used in seperating line records.

isPending can then be used to wait for an entire line of input.

Parameters

newline	newline character.
nl1	EOL2 control character.

Returns: size of conical input buffer.

void Thread::setName ( const char * text )

protectedinherited

Set the name of the current thread.

If the name is passed as NULL, then the default name is set (usually object pointer).

Parameters

text	name to use.

int Serial::setPacketInput	(	int	size,
		unsigned char	btimer = `0`
	)

protectedinherited

Set packet read mode and "size" of packet read buffer.

This sets VMIN to x. VTIM is normally set to "0" so that "isPending()" can wait for an entire packet rather than just the first byte.

Returns: actual buffer size set.

Parameters

size	of packet read request.
btimer	optional inter-byte data packet timeout.

Error Serial::setParity ( Parity parity )

inherited

Set parity mode.

Returns: 0 on success.

Parameters

parity mode.

inlineinherited

Set the timeout control.

Parameters

to	timeout to use.

Definition at line 499 of file serial.h.

static void Thread::sleep ( timeout_t msec )

staticinherited

A thread-safe sleep call.

On most Posix systems, "sleep()" is implimented with SIGALRM making it unusable from multipe threads. Pthread libraries often define an alternate "sleep" handler such as usleep(), nanosleep(), or nap(), that is thread safe, and also offers a higher timer resolution.

Parameters

msec	timeout in milliseconds.

int Thread::start ( Semaphore * start = 0 )

inherited

When a new thread is created, it does not begin immediate execution.

This is because the derived class virtual tables are not properly loaded at the time the C++ object is created within the constructor itself, at least in some compiler/system combinations. The thread can either be told to wait for an external semaphore, or it can be started directly after the constructor completes by calling the start() method.

Returns: error code if execution fails.

Parameters

start optional starting semaphore to alternately use.

void Thread::suspend ( void )

inherited

Suspends execution of the selected thread.

Pthreads do not normally support suspendable threads, so the behavior is simulated with signals. On systems such as Linux that define threads as processes, SIGSTOP and SIGCONT may be used.

int TTYStream::sync ( void )

inherited

Flushes the stream input and out buffers, writes pending output.

Returns: 0 on success.

void Thread::sync ( void )

protectedinherited

Used to wait for a join or cancel, in place of explicit exit.

void Thread::terminate ( void )

protectedinherited

Used by another thread to terminate the current thread.

Termination actually occurs based on the current setCancel() mode. When the current thread does terminate, control is returned to the requesting thread. terminate() should always be called at the start of any destructor of a class derived from Thread to assure the remaining part of the destructor is called without the thread still executing.

bool Thread::testCancel ( void )

protectedinherited

test a cancellation point for deferred thread cancellation.

void Serial::toggleDTR ( timeout_t millisec )

inherited

Set the DTR mode off momentarily.

Parameters

millisec number of milliseconds.

int TTYStream::uflow ( void )

protectedinherited

This streambuf method is used for doing unbuffered reads through the establish tty serial port when in interactive mode.

Also this method will handle proper use of buffers if not in interative mode.

Returns: char from tty serial port, EOF also possible.

int TTYStream::underflow ( void )

protectedinherited

This streambuf method is used to load the input buffer through the established tty serial port.

Returns: char from get buffer, EOF also possible.

void Serial::waitOutput ( void )

protectedinherited

Used to wait until all output has been sent.

static void Thread::yield ( void )

staticinherited

Yields the current thread's CPU time slice to allow another thread to begin immediate execution.
