Detailed Description

template<class... TArgs>
class kouta::base::callback::DeferredCallback< TArgs >

Deferred Callback implementation.

A deferred Callback wraps a callable that is invoked within the destination object's thread, assuming that said object implements a post() method which allows the Callback to deferr the call to its event loop. This is the case for the Component based architecture of this library.

Because calling a deferred Callback posts an event to the destination's thread, arguments passed to the callback must be copied during the call, meaning that the following types of arguments should not be used (or used with much care to prevent invalid memory access or race conditions):

  • Raw pointers
  • Non-copyable objects
  • Objects referencing, but not owning, dynamic memory (e.g. std::span)

The lifetime of the object the Callback points to must be guaranteed to surpass that of the Callback itself.

Template Parameters
TArgsCallable arguments.

template<class... TArgs>
template<class TClass >
kouta::base::callback::DeferredCallback< TArgs >::DeferredCallback ( TClass *  object,
void(TClass::*)(TArgs...)  method 
)
inline

Callback constructor from a bound method.

This constructor initializes the internal callable with a pointer to the specified bound method. The developer must guarantee the lifetime of the object to prevent invalid memory access.

object must implement a post() method to which the invokation can be passed to defer execution.

Template Parameters
TClassObject type.
Parameters
[in]objectPointer to the object whose method is going to be called.
[in]methodPointer to the method that is going to be called. The arguments of the Callback must match those of this method.

◆ DeferredCallback() [4/4]

template<class... TArgs>
template<class TClass >
kouta::base::callback::DeferredCallback< TArgs >::DeferredCallback ( TClass *  object,
DeferredCallback< TArgs >::Callable &&  callable 
)
inline

Callback constructor from a callable.

This constructor initializes the intenal callable to the one specified in callable , so that it is invoked from within the context of the provided object , which must implement a post() method to which the invokation can be passed to defer execution.

The developer must guarantee the lifetime of the object to rpevent invalid memory access.

Template Parameters
TClassObject type.
Parameters
[in]objectPointer to the object whose method is going to be called.
[in]callableCallable to store. For instance, this could be a lambda or anything convertible to std::function.
