Record to describe an Activity, to happen within the Scheduler's control flow.

Note

Activity is a »POD with constructor«

• trivially copyable
• standard layout

Member Function Documentation

activate()

activity::Proc activate	(	Time	now,
		EXE &	executionCtx
	)

Core Operation: Activate and perform this Activity.

Template Parameters

EXE	concrete binding for the execution context

Parameters

now	current _»wall clock time« (time used for scheduling)

Remarks

this defines the Activity state machine and implements behaviour in dependency of the kind of Activity::Verb. Actual implementation defined effects in the Scheduler are abstracted as executionCtx:

• post : dispatch the given Activity with start time
• work : drop the GroomingToken and start processing
• done : record the end time of a media computation
• tick : regular maintenance hook

Returns

activity::Proc indication how to proceed with execution

• activity::PASS continue with regular processing of next
• activity::SKIP ignore the rest of the chain, look for new work
• activity::HALT serious problem, stop the Scheduler

Here is the caller graph for this function:

dispatch()

activity::Proc dispatch	(	Time	now,
		EXE &	executionCtx
	)

Entrance point for an activation, which has been dispatched indirectly through the dispatch and/or priority queue; typically this is achieved by invoking the post-λ on the executionCtx, or by activating a POST-Activity.

Control flow passing here has acquired the GroomingToken and can thus assume single threaded execution until WORKSTART.

Notably this entrance is used to implement gating to wait for prerequisites; when a notification is passed to a GATE-Activity, the embedded counter is decremented; after all prerequisites are „checked off“ this way, the Activity-chain behind the Gate is activated.

Parameters

now	the scheduler-time; assuming that a call through the post-λ will only be actually de-queued when scheduler-time equals the start time defined in the POST activity and passed through the post-λ as parameter.

Note

special twist for the NOTIFY-Activity: it is not activated itself, rather the #notify operation is invoked on its target argument; this is necessary since a notification passes control-flow outside the regular linear next-chain.
