Detailed Description

Interupt monitor for long computations.

An MComputation allows long computations to check for user interrupts. It is very simple to use. Create a new MComputation object and call the beginComputation method at the beginning of the computation and call the endComputation method when you finish. Then, during the computation, use the isInterruptRequested method to check if the user has requested that the computation terminate.

Example: (of a simple traversal)

    MComputation computation;
    computation.beginComputation();
    for (int i= 1; i<1000; i++) {
        Computation();  // Some expensive operation
        if  (computation.isInterruptRequested()) break ;
    }
    computation.endComputation();
Examples:

animInfoCmd.cpp.

#include <MComputation.h>

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Constructor for MComputation.

Instantiate an MComputation before entering a long computation that should be interruptible.


Member Function Documentation

void beginComputation ( )

Mark the beginning of a long computation.

The application will begin looking for user interupts.

Examples:
animInfoCmd.cpp.
bool isInterruptRequested ( )

Query whether a user-interrupt has occurred.

Returns:
true if an interrupt has occurred
Examples:
animInfoCmd.cpp.
void endComputation ( )

Mark the ending of a long computation.

The application will stop looking for user interupts.

Examples:
animInfoCmd.cpp.
const char * className ( ) [static]

Returns the name of this class.

Returns:
Name of this class.
