13.9 The Incident Service
The Incident service provides synchronization facilities to components in an Athena application.
Incidents are named software events that are generated by software components and that are delivered
to other components that have requested to be informed when that incident happens. The Athena
components that want to use this service need to implement the IIncidentListener interface,
which has only one method: handle(Incident&), and they need to add themselves as Listeners
to the IncidentSvc. The following code fragment works inside Algorithms.
class MyAlgorithm : public Algorithm, virtual public IIncidentListener {
...
};
MyAlgorithm::Initialize() {
IIncidentSvc* incsvc;
StatusCode sc = service("IncidentSvc", incsvc);
int priority = 100;
if( sc.isSuccess() ) {
incsvc->addListener( this, "BeginEvent", priority);
incsvc->addListener( this, "EndEvent");
}
}
MyAlgorithm::handle(Incident& inc) {
