Detailed Description

Base class for all actor implementations.

Member Function Documentation

◆ attach()

virtual void caf::abstract_actor::attach ( attachable_ptr ptr)
pure virtual

Attaches ptr to this actor.

The actor will call ptr->detach(...) on exit, or immediately if it already finished execution.

Implemented in caf::monitorable_actor.

◆ attach_functor()

template<class F >
void caf::abstract_actor::attach_functor ( F f)

Convenience function that attaches the functor f to this actor.

The actor executes f() on exit or immediatley if it is not running.

◆ detach()

virtual size_t caf::abstract_actor::detach ( const attachable::token & what)
pure virtual

Detaches the first attached object that matches what.

Implemented in caf::monitorable_actor.

◆ enqueue() [1/2]

virtual void caf::abstract_actor::enqueue ( mailbox_element_ptr what,
execution_unit * host )
pure virtual

Enqueues a new message wrapped in a mailbox_element to the actor.

This enqueue variant allows to define forwarding chains.

Implemented in caf::actor_pool, caf::decorator::sequencer, caf::decorator::splitter, and caf::forwarding_actor_proxy.

◆ enqueue() [2/2]

void caf::abstract_actor::enqueue ( strong_actor_ptr sender,
message_id mid,
message content,
execution_unit * host )
overridevirtual

Enqueues a new message without forwarding stack to the channel.

Implements caf::abstract_channel.

◆ message_types()

virtual std::set< std::string > caf::abstract_actor::message_types ( ) const
virtual

Returns the set of accepted messages types as strings or an empty set if this actor is untyped.

Reimplemented in caf::decorator::sequencer, and caf::decorator::splitter.

◆ on_destroy()

virtual void caf::abstract_actor::on_destroy ( )
virtual

Cleans up any remaining state before the destructor is called.

This function makes sure it is safe to call virtual functions in sub classes before destroying the object, because calling virtual function in the destructor itself is not safe. Any override implementation is required to call super::destroy() at the end.

Reimplemented in caf::actor_pool.
