Detailed Description

Simple class for background tasks that should be run periodically or once "after a while".

Usage:

CScheduler* s = new CScheduler();

Assuming a: void doSomething() { } s->scheduleFromNow(doSomething, std::chrono::milliseconds{11}); s->scheduleFromNow([=] { this->func(argument); }, std::chrono::milliseconds{3}); std::thread *t = new std::thread([?] { s->serviceQueue(); });

... then at program shutdown, make sure to call stop() to clean up the thread(s) running serviceQueue: s->stop(); t->join(); delete t; delete s; // Must be done after thread is interrupted/joined.

◆ getQueueInfo()

size_t CScheduler::getQueueInfo	(	std::chrono::steady_clock::time_point &	first,
		std::chrono::steady_clock::time_point &	last

Returns number of tasks waiting to be serviced, and first and last task times.

◆ MockForward()

void CScheduler::MockForward ( std::chrono::seconds delta_seconds )

Mock the scheduler to fast forward in time.

Iterates through items on taskQueue and reschedules them to be delta_seconds sooner.

Definition at line 83 of file scheduler.cpp.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ schedule()

void CScheduler::schedule	(	CScheduler::Function	f,
		std::chrono::steady_clock::time_point	t
	)

Call func at/after time t.

Definition at line 74 of file scheduler.cpp.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ scheduleEvery()

void CScheduler::scheduleEvery	(	CScheduler::Predicate	p,
		std::chrono::milliseconds	delta
	)

Repeat p until it return false.

First run is after delta has passed once.

The timing is not exact: Every time p is finished, it is rescheduled to run again after delta. If you need more accurate scheduling, don't use this method.
