The IO Callback + interface consists of the three methods \c actOn(), \c + registerWatcher() and \c unregisterWatcher(). The event + interface consists of the three methods \c nextTrustItemEvent(), + \c nextKeyEvent() and \c operationDoneEvent(). + + \sect General Usage + + \c EventLoopInteractor is designed to be used as a + singleton. However, in order to make any use of it, you have to + subclass it and reimplement it's pure virtual methods (see + below). We suggest you keep the constructor protected and + provide a static \c instance() method that returns the single + instance. Alternatively, you can create an instance on the + stack, e.g. in \c main(). + + If you want \c EventLoopInteractor to manage a particular \c + Context, just call \c manage() on the \c Context. OTOH, if you + want to disable IO callbacks for a \c Context, use \c unmanage(). + + \sect IO Callback Interface + + One part of this interface is represented by \c + registerWatcher() and \c unregisterWatcher(), both of which are + pure virtual. \c registerWatcher() should do anything necessary + to hook up watching of file descriptor \c fd for reading (\c dir + = \c Read) or writing (\c dir = Write) to the event loop you use + and return a tag identifying that particular watching process + uniquely. This could be the index into an array of objects you + use for that purpose or the address of such an object. E.g. in + Qt, you'd essentially just create a new \c QSocketNotifier: + + \verbatim + void * registerWatcher( int fd, Direction dir ) { + return new QSocketNotifier( fd, dir == Read ? QSocketNotifier::Read : QSocketNotifier::Write ); + // misses connecting to the activated() signal... + } + \endverbatim + + which uses the address of the created object as unique tag. The + tag returned by \c registerWatcher is stored by \c + EventLoopInteractor and passed as argument to \c + unregisterWatcher(). So, in the picture above, you'd implement \c + unregisterWatcher() like this: + + \verbatim + void unregisterWatcher( void * tag ) { + delete static_cast<QSocketNotifier*>( tag ); + } + \endverbatim + + The other part of the IO callback interface is \c actOn(), which + you should call if you receive notification from your event loop + about activity on file descriptor \c fd in direction \c dir. In + the picture above, you'd call this from the slot connected to + the socket notifier's \c activated() signal. + + \note \c registerWatcher() as well as \c unregisterWatcher() may + be called from within \c actOn(), so be careful with + e.g. locking in threaded environments and keep in mind that the + object you used to find the \c fd and \c dir fo the \c actOn() + call might be deleted when \c actOn() returns! + + \sect Event Handler Interface + +*/ +class GPGMEPP_EXPORT EventLoopInteractor +{ +protected: + EventLoopInteractor(); +public: + virtual ~EventLoopInteractor(); + + static EventLoopInteractor *instance() + { + return mSelf; + } + + void manage(Context *context); + void unmanage(Context *context); + + enum Direction { Read, Write }; +protected: + // + // IO Notification Interface + // + + /** Call this if your event loop detected activity on file + descriptor fd, with direction dir */ + void actOn(int fd, Direction dir); + + virtual void *registerWatcher(int fd, Direction dir, bool &ok) = 0; + virtual void unregisterWatcher(void *tag) = 0; + + // + // Event Handler Interface + // + + virtual void operationStartEvent(Context *context) = 0; + virtual void nextTrustItemEvent(Context *context, const TrustItem &item) = 0; + virtual void nextKeyEvent(Context *context, const Key &key) = 0; + virtual void operationDoneEvent(Context *context, const Error &e) = 0; + +private: + class Private; + friend class Private; + Private *const d; + static EventLoopInteractor *mSelf; +}; + +} + +#endif // __GPGMEPP_EVENTLOOPINTERACTOR_H__ |
