The parameterized type * is the event observer class, or (C++) interface. * * To use this mechanism, derive your event source class from CEventSource * parameterized by the observer class(es) or interface(es). Add a specific observer object * to the list of observers by calling the AddObserver function. The observer object class * should derive from CObserverBase. * * When the source wishes to call a particular notification method in the * observer class, use ScFireEvent template method. * specify observer's method as a 1st parameter. for instance: CMyObserver::MyEvent * [optionaly] specify parameters to event as 2nd and following parameters to ScFireEvent * * All event observer notification methods MUST return SC's. * * You can not have other method with the same name as event on observer - it won't compile. * * When sources/observers are deleted, the connection between them is broken automatically. * There is no support as yet to manually break a connection, although such a method can * be easily added to either the source or observer (make sure both sides of the connection * are broken. * * See the test code at the end of the file as an example. ************************************************************************/ // a #define to make it easy to implement only some observer methods. #define DEFAULT_OBSERVER_METHOD SC sc; return sc; #include "cpputil.h" /*+-------------------------------------------------------------------------* * class CObserverBase * * * PURPOSE: * *+-------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ class CObserverBase; /*+-------------------------------------------------------------------------* * class CEventSourceBase * * * PURPOSE: provides general Event Source interface * *+-------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ class CEventSourceBase { public: virtual ~CEventSourceBase() {} virtual void UnadviseSource(CObserverBase &observer) =0; }; /*+-------------------------------------------------------------------------* * class _CEventSource * * * PURPOSE: implements connection between event source and observer * * NOTE: This class IS NOT intended for external use - use CEventSource instead * *+-------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ template class _CEventSource : public CEventSourceBase { private: typedef CObserver * POBSERVER; typedef _CEventSource ThisClass; // no std::set, or std::map please // those cannot be shared by several DLL's // see KB article Q172/3/96 // since some items may be gone and some new added during the operation, // std::list is the best choice, since it does not reallocate on insert // but that is not enough - see CListIntegrityProtector class below struct ObserverData { POBSERVER pObject; // pointer to the object bool bDeleted; // true means entry remove pending, pObject not valid }; typedef std::list< ObserverData > CObserverList; CObserverList m_observerList; // count of active locks. // when value is 0, it is safe to remove deleted items from the list. int m_nStackDepth; // removes deleted items from the list void CleanupDeleted(); protected: typedef typename CObserverList::iterator iterator; /***************************************************************************\ * * CLASS: CListIntegrityProtector * * PURPOSE: locks the list in the owning class from item deletion. * thus assures the list is safe to iterate, the client just * needs to skip deleted entries. * Destructor will release the lock, an in case this is the last * lock - will perforn the cleanup. * * this technique is needed, since objects get deleted and created * during the events, so the observer list is changed, which * invalidated the iterators.
