virtual

DTOR.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool makVrv::DtTickableManager::addTickableObject ( DtTickable * ticObj )

virtual

Add a DtTickable object to this manager.

Parameters

[in] ticObj is a pointer to a tick-able object to add.

Return values

true	if the pointer was successfully added.
false	otherwise.

Note: Objects added to this manager are not destroyed at destruction time of this manager.

Exceptions

DtCorruptedState if called during tick-update. This call checks DtTickable::isThreadSafe() and places the tickable on the appropriate tickable list

Implements makVrv::DtTickableManagerInterface.

virtual bool makVrv::DtTickableManager::addTickableObjectToMainList ( DtTickable * ticObj )

virtual

Add a tickable to the main (not threaded) tickable list Even if a tickable is 'thread safe' we may choose to not place it on the threaded list (mainly because it may be a scene object updater at the head of a not thread safe updater chain).

This call checks DtTickable::isThreadSafe() and places the tickable on the appropriate tickable list. This method sets the tickable's tickableListState to DtTickable::TickableOnMainList

Implements makVrv::DtTickableManagerInterface.

virtual bool makVrv::DtTickableManager::addTickableObjectToThreadSafeList ( DtTickable * ticObj )

virtual

Add a tickable to the threaded tickable list.

This method checks the tickable's isThreadSafe() method and will not add the tickable to the list if not thread-safe

Implements makVrv::DtTickableManagerInterface.

virtual void makVrv::DtTickableManager::removeTickableObject ( DtTickable * ticObj )

virtual

Remove a DtTickable object from this manager.

Parameters

[in] ticObj is a pointer to a tick-able object to remove.

Exceptions

DtCorruptedState if called during tick-update. Note: This form is kept for back compatibility. It is inefficient because it needs to check both tickable lists for the tickable to remove. The preferred method is to check the tickable for which list it's on (DtTickable::tickableListState()) and then explicitly remove it from the correct list

Implements makVrv::DtTickableManagerInterface.

virtual void makVrv::DtTickableManager::removeTickableObjectFromMainList ( DtTickable * ticObj )

virtual

Remove a tickable from this manager's main (unthreaded) tickable list.

This method sets the tickable's tickableListState to DtTickable::TickableNotOnList

Implements makVrv::DtTickableManagerInterface.

virtual void makVrv::DtTickableManager::removeTickableObjectFromThreadSafeList ( DtTickable * ticObj )

virtual

Remove a tickable from this manager's thread-safe tickable list.

This method sets the tickable's tickableListState to DtTickable::TickableNotOnList

Implements makVrv::DtTickableManagerInterface.

virtual void makVrv::DtTickableManager::tick ( DtTime tNow = 0.0 )

virtual

Function to update each tick-able object.

Each tick-able object on the main (not threaded) list receives a call to its update() function if its needsUpdate() function returns true. If the myUseMultithreadUpdate is false, tickables on the the thread-safe list are treated the same way. But if the flag is true, a parallel_for is used to call the tickable's updateIfNeeded() method (which currently just combines the call to needsUpdate() and update().

Parameters

[in] tNow is a time-stamp to pass to each object.

Note: The order objects are updated is not guaranteed; but the objects on the multithreaded list will be updated before the tickables on the main list.

Implements makVrv::DtTickableManagerInterface.

virtual bool makVrv::DtTickableManager::inTick ( )

virtual

brief returns if the tick manager is currently updating

Implements makVrv::DtTickableManagerInterface.

virtual int makVrv::DtTickableManager::numTickables ( )

virtual

brief how many tickables there are total

Implements makVrv::DtTickableManagerInterface.

virtual int makVrv::DtTickableManager::numMultithreadedTickables ( )

virtual

brief how many tickables there are, having been filtered by the modelset vector

Implements makVrv::DtTickableManagerInterface.

virtual int makVrv::DtTickableManager::numTickedLastFrame ( )

virtual

brief how many tickables were ticked last frame

Implements makVrv::DtTickableManagerInterface.

virtual double makVrv::DtTickableManager::timeSpentThisFrame ( )

virtual

brief how long the last update took in seconds

Implements makVrv::DtTickableManagerInterface.

virtual void makVrv::DtTickableManager::setUseAdaptiveTickRate ( bool value )

virtual

brief should objects attempt to call setUpdatePeriod on themselves with reasonable values.

Implements makVrv::DtTickableManagerInterface.

virtual bool makVrv::DtTickableManager::useAdaptiveTickRate ( )

virtual

brief are objects calling setUpdatePeriod on themselves when they are updated.

Implements makVrv::DtTickableManagerInterface.

virtual void makVrv::DtTickableManager::resetAdaptiveTickrate ( )

virtual

brief resets the tickables back to an update period of 1 frame

Implements makVrv::DtTickableManagerInterface.

virtual void makVrv::DtTickableManager::setUseMultithreadUpdate ( bool useIt )

virtual

Set the flag that determines whether tickables on the threadsafe list are updated in a parallel_for.

Implements makVrv::DtTickableManagerInterface.

virtual bool makVrv::DtTickableManager::useMultithreadUpdate ( ) const

virtual

Get the flag that determines whether tickables on the threadsafe list are updated in a parallel_for.

Implements makVrv::DtTickableManagerInterface.

bool makVrv::DtTickableManager::addTickableObject	(	TickableList &	array,
		DtTickable *	ticObj
	)

protected

adds tickable to the array if it is not already in the list
