Member Function Documentation

static vtkThreadMessager* vtkThreadMessager::New

(

)

[static]

Create an object with Debug turned off, modified time initialized to zero, and reference counting on.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

static int vtkThreadMessager::IsTypeOf

(

const char *

name

)

[static]

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

virtual int vtkThreadMessager::IsA

(

const char *

name

)

[virtual]

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

static vtkThreadMessager* vtkThreadMessager::SafeDownCast

(

vtkObjectBase *

o

)

[static]

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

virtual vtkObjectBase* vtkThreadMessager::NewInstanceInternal

(

)

const [protected, virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

vtkThreadMessager* vtkThreadMessager::NewInstance

(

)

const

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

void vtkThreadMessager::PrintSelf	(	ostream &	os,
		vtkIndent	indent
	)		[virtual]

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

void vtkThreadMessager::WaitForMessage

(

)

Wait (block, non-busy) until another thread sends a message.

void vtkThreadMessager::SendWakeMessage

(

)

Send a message to all threads who are waiting via WaitForMessage().

void vtkThreadMessager::EnableWaitForReceiver

(

)

pthreads only. If the wait is enabled, the thread who is to call WaitForMessage() will block until a receiver thread is ready to receive.

void vtkThreadMessager::DisableWaitForReceiver

(

)

pthreads only. If the wait is enabled, the thread who is to call WaitForMessage() will block until a receiver thread is ready to receive.

void vtkThreadMessager::WaitForReceiver

(

)

pthreads only. If wait is enable, this will block until one thread is ready to receive a message.
