Description

Test:: CommandInstanceManager is responsible for providing individual clone copies from a basic command definition, to be bound with actual arguments and finally handed over to the SteamDispatcher for invocation.

◆ verify_simpleUsage()

void verify_simpleUsage ( )

inlineprivate

Test:

demonstrate the transparent instance generation (»fire and forget«)

when just specifying a global commandID and arguments, an anonymous instance will be created on-the-fly, bound and dispatched, without leaving any traces in the global or local registry
when dispatching a global commandID, where the corresponding prototype entry is already fully bound and ready for execution, likewise an anonymous clone copy is created and dispatched.

Remarks: these simplified use cases cover a large fraction of all usages, and most notably, the internal registry embedded within the CommandInstanceManager won't be used at all.

◆ verify_instanceIdentity()

void verify_instanceIdentity ( )

inlineprivate

Test:: relation of command, instanceID and concrete instance The CommandInstanceManager provides the notion of a current instance, which can then be used to bind arguments.

When done, it will be dispatched, and then go through the SteamDispatcher's CommandQueue (in this test, we use just a dummy Fixture, which only enqueues the dispatched commands.

The following notions need to be kept apart

a command is the operation definition. It is registered with a commandID.
the instance ID is a decorated commandID and serves to keep different usage contexts of the same command (prototype) apart. For each instanceID there is at any given time maximally one concrete instance "opened"
the concrete command instance is what can be bound and executed. It retains it's own identity, even after being handed over for dispatch. Consequently, a given instance can sit in the dispatcher queue to await invocation, while the next instance for the same instance ID is already opened in the CommandInstanceManager for binding arguments.

◆ verify_duplicates()

void verify_duplicates ( )

inlineprivate

Test:: there can be only one active "opened" instance The CommandInstanceManager opens (creates) a new instance by cloning from the prototype.

Unless this instance is dispatched, it does not allow to open a further instance (for the same instanceID). But of course it allows to open a different instance from the same prototype, but with a different invocationID and hence a different instanceID
