Detailed Description

This class is used to represent the event namespace (tree).

Each node represents an event name (e.g., "crystalspace.input.mouse") and contains two data structures: a partial order graph representing subscribers to this event (including those who subscribed to parent event names) along with their ordering constraints, and a queue of subscribers representing a valid total order of that graph (used to speed up the common case).

Member Function Documentation

void csEventTree::Dispatch ( iEvent e  ) 

Send the provided event to all subscribers, using the normal return and Broadcast rules.

csEventTree* csEventTree::FindNode ( csEventID  name,
csEventQueue q 
)

Find a node with a given name in the event tree owned by q .

If no such node yet exists, create it (along with any necessary parent nodes, including the name root).

SubscriberIterator* csEventTree::GetIterator (  ) 

Return a csEventTree::SubscriberIterator for all subscribers to this event name (and to its parents).

void csEventTree::Notify (  ) 

Send the provided event to all subscribers, regardless of their return values.

bool csEventTree::Subscribe ( csHandlerID  ,
csEventID  ,
csEventQueue q 
)

Subscribe a given handler to a given event name subtree via a given event queue.

This is wrapped by csEventQueue::Subscribe which may be easier to use in some situations.

csEventQueue::Subscribe
void csEventTree::Unsubscribe ( csHandlerID  ,
csEventID  ,
csEventQueue q 
)

Unubscribe a given handler to a given event name subtree via a given event queue.

This is wrapped by csEventQueue::Unsubscribe which may be easier to use in some situations. Note that unsubscribing is reentrant (an event handler can unsubscribe itself) but NOT thread-safe (only event handlers in the same thread as the event queue can unsubscribe).
