Class event

Overview

Class event is the abstract base class for the engine’s event system.

Interface

Getters

• bool happens() const

  returns whether the event will happen or not.

• double time() const

  returns when the event will happen.

Public Methods

• virtual bool current() = 0

  returns whether the involved elements are in the correct version or not.

• virtual vool resolve() = 0

  executes the event with its dynamical consequences.

• virtual void each(engine * engine, void (engine :: *callback)(molecule &, const size_t &)) = 0

  given the working engine and a method of the engine that takes as argument a molecule & and a const size_t &, executes the given method to each molecule involved in the event.

• virtual void callback(dispatcher & dispatcher)

  given the engine’s main dispatcher, executes the dispatcher’s trigger for the event, which will execute the corrispondent requested reports, if any.

Service nested classes

wrapper

Subclass wrapper allows a proper wrapping for an event object so that the engine’s event system can properly allocate and compare the timings of the various events generated.

wrapper offers basic comparing operators and 2 casting operators.
