class SIMPLE_PERIODIC_JOB
Summary
Pseudo periodic job. The timing is not exact : the time between two executions may be longer than the given period depending on the time needed to execute ready tasks. There is no try to recover the time lost each time.

set_work (t: FUNCTION[TUPLE, BOOLEAN], tr: PROCEDURE[TUPLE], prio: INTEGER_32, seconds: REAL_64)
effective procedure
{ANY}
t has to return True while continue
require ensure
done: BOOLEAN
writable attribute
done returns True when the job is finished.
Then the job may be restart(ed) if it needs to run again.
continue
effective procedure
Continue to do the job.
The work to do has to be small work and non blocking, it will continue on next call.
require
  • not done
restart
effective procedure
Configure the job like in its initial state.
Example: when some window dialog appears a second time, all jobs from this window are restarted.

prepare (events: EVENTS_SET)
effective procedure
Use events to describe condition that make this job ready to continue.
events describe the conditions to be satisfied before running this job for one more step.
require
  • events /= Void
  • not events.queryable
  • not done
is_ready (events: EVENTS_SET): BOOLEAN
effective function
Check if this job is ready to continue his work.
events describe the events which occurred.
require
  • events /= Void
  • events.queryable
  • not done
priority: INTEGER_32
writable attribute
never change a job's priority after inserting it in loop_item.
Priority should only be set at creation time.
