Detailed Description

The default, thread-less activity for any newly created TaskContext.

The presence of this activity object indicates that the TaskContext does not have its own active thread, but executes all asynchronous operations (such as commands and events) in the thread of the caller, so in fact synchronously. The SequentialActivity uses a os::Mutex lock to guard against concurrent executions and makes your TaskContext equally thread-safe as the other activity implementations.

This activity emulates the same behaviour as a NonPeriodicActivity, but without using a thread.

Reactions to execute():

Always returns false.

Reactions to trigger():

This causes step() to be executed.

bool RTT::extras::SequentialActivity::execute (  )  [virtual]

Execute this activity such that it executes a step or loop of the RunnableInterface. When you invoke execute() you intend to call the step() or loop() methods. Some activity implementations allow a user controlled execute, others ignore it, in which case execute() returns false.

Semantics: If execute() returns true, the activity has been executed exactly once during execute().

Return values:
true When this->isActive() and the implementation allows external executes.
false When !this->isActive() or the implementation does not allow external updating.
See also:
trigger() for use in callbacks which want execute() to be executed.

Implements RTT::base::ActivityInterface.

bool RTT::SequentialActivity::execute (  )  [virtual]

Execute this activity such that it executes a step or loop of the RunnableInterface. When you invoke execute() you intend to call the step() or loop() methods. Some activity implementations allow a user controlled execute, others ignore it, in which case execute() returns false.

Semantics: If execute() returns true, the activity has been executed exactly once during execute().

Return values:
true When this->isActive() and the implementation allows external executes.
false When !this->isActive() or the implementation does not allow external updating.

bool RTT::extras::SequentialActivity::isActive (  )  const [virtual]

Query if the activity is started. This is less strict than isRunning(), it is true during initialize(), step() or loop() and finalize(). Use this method to check if an activity was start()ed.

Returns:
true if it is active, false otherwise

Implements RTT::base::ActivityInterface.

bool RTT::SequentialActivity::isActive (  )  const [virtual]

Query if the activity is started. This is less strict than isRunning(), it is true during initialize(), step() or loop() and finalize(). Use this method to check if an activity was start()ed.

Returns:
true if it is active, false otherwise

Implements RTT::base::ActivityInterface.

Definition at line 138 of file SequentialActivity.cpp.

bool RTT::extras::SequentialActivity::isPeriodic (  )  const [virtual]

Inspect if this activity is periodic. If so, it will call RunnableInterface::step(). If the activity is not periodic, it will call RunnableInterface::loop().

Returns:
true if periodic.

Implements RTT::base::ActivityInterface.

bool RTT::SequentialActivity::isPeriodic (  )  const [virtual]

Inspect if this activity is periodic. If so, it will call RunnableInterface::step(). If the activity is not periodic, it will call RunnableInterface::loop().

Returns:
true if periodic.

Implements RTT::base::ActivityInterface.

Definition at line 133 of file SequentialActivity.cpp.

bool RTT::extras::SequentialActivity::isRunning (  )  const [virtual]

Query if the activity is initialized and executing. This is more strict than isActive(), it is only true after initialize() is executed and before finalize() is executed. More-over, an Activity may decide to be temporarily not running (not executing code), waiting for a signal to proceed. If this->isActive() and !this->isRunning() then the Activity is in a waiting state.

Returns:
true if it is running, false otherwise

Implements RTT::base::ActivityInterface.

More-over, an Activity may decide to be temporarily not running (not executing code), waiting for a signal to proceed. If this->isActive() and !this->isRunning() then the Activity is in a waiting state.

bool RTT::extras::SequentialActivity::setCpuAffinity ( unsigned  cpu  )  [virtual]

bool RTT::extras::SequentialActivity::setPeriod ( Seconds  s  )  [virtual]

Returns:
true if it could be updated, false otherwise.

Implements RTT::base::ActivityInterface.

bool RTT::SequentialActivity::setPeriod ( Seconds  s  )  [virtual]

Set the periodicity of this activity in Seconds. Note that not all activity implementation support periods. A period of s == 0 indicates non periodic. A non supported setting returns false.

Returns:
true if it could be updated, false otherwise.

Implements RTT::base::ActivityInterface.

Definition at line 60 of file SequentialActivity.cpp.

bool RTT::extras::SequentialActivity::start (  )  [virtual]

Start the activity. This will call RunnableInterface::initialize() and upon success, effectively start the activity, by running the RunnableInterface::step() or RunnableInterface::loop() in a thread.

See also:
isPeriodic()
Returns:
true if the activity is started, false otherwise

Implements RTT::base::ActivityInterface.

bool RTT::SequentialActivity::start (  )  [virtual]

bool RTT::extras::SequentialActivity::stop (  )  [virtual]

Stop the activity This will stop the activity by removing it from the 'run-queue' of a thread or call RunnableInterface::breakLoop(). If no errors occured, RunnableInterface::finalize() is called.

See also:
isPeriodic()
Returns:
true if the activity is stopped, false otherwise

Implements RTT::base::ActivityInterface.

bool RTT::SequentialActivity::stop (  )  [virtual]

Stop the activity This will stop the activity by removing it from the 'run-queue' of a thread or call RunnableInterface::breakLoop(). If no errors occured, RunnableInterface::finalize() is called.

true if the activity is stopped, false otherwise

os::ThreadInterface* RTT::extras::SequentialActivity::thread (  )  [virtual]

Returns a pointer to the thread which will run this activity. Will not be null.

Implements RTT::base::ActivityInterface.

os::ThreadInterface * RTT::SequentialActivity::thread (  )  [virtual]

Returns a pointer to the thread which will run this activity. Will not be null.

Implements RTT::base::ActivityInterface.

Definition at line 76 of file SequentialActivity.cpp.

bool RTT::extras::SequentialActivity::trigger (  )  [virtual]

Trigger that work has to be done. When you invoke trigger(), you intend to notify the mechanism that calls execute(), that execute() should be called. This allows a separation between actually executing code (execute()) and notifying that code must be executed (trigger()). A trigger may be ignored by the implementation, in which case trigger returns false.

Semantics: If trigger() returns true, the activity will be executed at least once from the moment trigger() is called.

Return values:
true When this->isActive() and the implementation allows external triggers.
false When !this->isActive() or the implementation does not allow external triggering.

Implements RTT::base::ActivityInterface.
