ZTIMERSET(3)

NAME
ztimerset - timer set

SYNOPSIS

//  This is a draft class, and may change without notice. It is disabled in
//  stable builds by default. If you use this in applications, please ask
//  for it to be pushed to stable state. Use --enable-drafts to enable.
#ifdef CZMQ_BUILD_DRAFT_API
// Callback function for timer event.
typedef void (ztimerset_fn) (
    int timer_id, void *arg);
//  *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***
//  Create new timer set.
CZMQ_EXPORT ztimerset_t *
    ztimerset_new (void);
//  *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***
//  Destroy a timer set
CZMQ_EXPORT void
    ztimerset_destroy (ztimerset_t **self_p);
//  *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***
//  Add a timer to the set. Returns timer id if OK, -1 on failure.
CZMQ_EXPORT int
    ztimerset_add (ztimerset_t *self, size_t interval, ztimerset_fn handler, void *arg);
//  *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***
//  Cancel a timer. Returns 0 if OK, -1 on failure.
CZMQ_EXPORT int
    ztimerset_cancel (ztimerset_t *self, int timer_id);
//  *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***
//  Set timer interval. Returns 0 if OK, -1 on failure.
//  This method is slow, canceling the timer and adding a new one yield better performance.
CZMQ_EXPORT int
    ztimerset_set_interval (ztimerset_t *self, int timer_id, size_t interval);
//  *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***
//  Reset timer to start interval counting from current time. Returns 0 if OK, -1 on failure.
//  This method is slow, canceling the timer and adding a new one yield better performance.
CZMQ_EXPORT int
    ztimerset_reset (ztimerset_t *self, int timer_id);
//  *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***
//  Return the time until the next interval.
//  Should be used as timeout parameter for the zpoller wait method.
//  The timeout is in msec.
CZMQ_EXPORT int
    ztimerset_timeout (ztimerset_t *self);
//  *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***
//  Invoke callback function of all timers which their interval has elapsed.
//  Should be call after zpoller wait method.
//  Returns 0 if OK, -1 on failure.
CZMQ_EXPORT int
    ztimerset_execute (ztimerset_t *self);
//  *** Draft method, for development use, may change without warning ***
//  Self test of this class.

DESCRIPTION

ztimerset - timer set

Please add @discuss section in ./../src/ztimerset.c.

EXAMPLE

From ztimerset_test method.

    //  Simple create/destroy test
    ztimerset_t *self = ztimerset_new ();
    assert (self);
    //  Adding timer
    bool timer_invoked = false;
    int timer_id = ztimerset_add (self, 100, handler, &timer_invoked);
    assert (timer_id != -1);
    int rc = ztimerset_execute (self);
    assert (rc == 0);
    assert (!timer_invoked);
    int timeout = ztimerset_timeout (self);
    assert (timeout > 0);
    zclock_sleep (timeout);
    rc = ztimerset_execute (self);
    assert (rc == 0);
    assert (timer_invoked);
    //  Cancel timer
    timeout = ztimerset_timeout (self);
    assert (timeout > 0);
    rc = ztimerset_cancel (self, timer_id);
    assert (rc == 0);
    timeout = ztimerset_timeout (self);
    assert(timeout == -1);
    //  Reset a timer
    timer_id = ztimerset_add (self, 100, handler, &timer_invoked);
    assert (timer_id != -1);
    timeout = ztimerset_timeout (self);
    assert (timeout > 0);
    zclock_sleep (timeout / 2);
    timeout = ztimerset_timeout (self);
    rc = ztimerset_reset(self, timer_id);
    assert (rc == 0);
    int timeout2 = ztimerset_timeout (self);
    assert (timeout2 > timeout);
    rc = ztimerset_cancel (self, timer_id);
    assert (rc == 0);
    //  Set interval
    timer_id = ztimerset_add (self, 100, handler, &timer_invoked);
    assert (timer_id != -1);
    timeout = ztimerset_timeout (self);
    rc = ztimerset_set_interval(self, timer_id, 200);
    timeout2 = ztimerset_timeout (self);
    assert (timeout2 > timeout);
    ztimerset_destroy (&self);
