Member Function Documentation

void gr_top_block::dump ( )

Displays flattened flowgraph edges and block connectivity

virtual void gr_top_block::lock ( ) [virtual]

Lock a flowgraph in preparation for reconfiguration. When an equal number of calls to lock() and unlock() have occurred, the flowgraph will be reconfigured.

N.B. lock() and unlock() may not be called from a flowgraph thread (E.g., gr_block::work method) or deadlock will occur when reconfiguration happens.

Reimplemented from gr_hier_block2.

void gr_top_block::run ( )

The simple interface to running a flowgraph.

Calls start() then wait(). Used to run a flowgraph that will stop on its own, or when another thread will call stop().

void gr_top_block::start ( )

Start the contained flowgraph. Creates one or more threads to execute the flow graph. Returns to the caller once the threads are created. Calling start() on a top_block that is already started IS an error.

void gr_top_block::stop ( )

Stop the running flowgraph. Notifies each thread created by the scheduler to shutdown, then returns to caller. Calling stop() on a top_block that is already stopped IS NOT an error.

virtual void gr_top_block::unlock ( ) [virtual]

Unlock a flowgraph in preparation for reconfiguration. When an equal number of calls to lock() and unlock() have occurred, the flowgraph will be reconfigured.

N.B. lock() and unlock() may not be called from a flowgraph thread (E.g., gr_block::work method) or deadlock will occur when reconfiguration happens.

Reimplemented from gr_hier_block2.

void gr_top_block::wait ( )

Wait for a flowgraph to complete. Flowgraphs complete when either (1) all blocks indicate that they are done (typically only when using gr.file_source, or gr.head, or (2) after stop() has been called to request shutdown. Calling wait on a top_block that is not running IS NOT an error (wait returns w/o blocking).
