Detailed Description

template<typename specific_event>
class ILLIXR::switchboard::writer< specific_event >

A handle which can publish events to a topic.

Member Function Documentation

allocate()

template<typename specific_event >

template<class... Args>

ptr<specific_event> ILLIXR::switchboard::writer< specific_event >::allocate ( Args &&...  args )

inline

Like new/malloc but more efficient for this specific case.

There is an optimization available which has not yet been implemented: switchboard can reuse memory from old events, like a slab allocator. Suppose module A publishes data for module B. B's deallocation through the destructor, and A's allocation through this method completes the cycle in a double-buffer (AKA swap-chain).

put()

template<typename specific_event >

void ILLIXR::switchboard::writer< specific_event >::put ( ptr< specific_event > &&  this_specific_event )

inline

Publish ev to this topic.
