Detailed Description

Generic server API.

This interface is notably used by the generic TerminationAlgorithm to keep handling requests of any server until termination is detected.

Since termination is determined by "step", an odd or even Epoch is used to describe the current state of the server, so that messages sent in an odd period can't be received in an even period and vice versa.

the handleIncomingRequests() method is also extensively used to prevent deadlock situations.

Member Function Documentation

setEpoch()

virtual void fpmas::synchro::hard::api::Server::setEpoch ( Epoch  epoch )

pure virtual

Sets the current Epoch of the server.

Parameters

epoch

current Epoch

Implemented in fpmas::synchro::hard::MutexServer< T >, fpmas::synchro::hard::hard_link::LinkServer< T >, fpmas::synchro::hard::VoidServer, and fpmas::synchro::hard::ServerPackBase.

getEpoch()

virtual Epoch fpmas::synchro::hard::api::Server::getEpoch ( ) const

pure virtual

Gets the current Epoch of the server.

Returns

current epoch

Implemented in fpmas::synchro::hard::hard_link::LinkServer< T >, fpmas::synchro::hard::MutexServer< T >, fpmas::synchro::hard::VoidServer, and fpmas::synchro::hard::ServerPackBase.

handleIncomingRequests()

virtual void fpmas::synchro::hard::api::Server::handleIncomingRequests ( )

pure virtual

Performs the full reception cycle associated to this server.

If at least one request supposed to be handled by this server is pending, the server must handle at least one of those request to ensure progress and avoid deadlock situations.

Implemented in fpmas::synchro::hard::hard_link::LinkServer< T >, fpmas::synchro::hard::MutexServer< T >, fpmas::synchro::hard::VoidServer, and fpmas::synchro::hard::ServerPackBase.
