Unlike a future, though, + * LLPounceable freely allows reading the held value. (If the held + * type T does not have a distinguished "empty" value, consider using + * LLPounceable<boost::optional<T>>.) + * + * LLPounceable::callWhenReady() is this template's claim to fame. It + * allows its caller to "pounce" on the held value as soon as it + * becomes non-empty. Call callWhenReady() with any C++ callable + * accepting T. If the held value is already non-empty, callWhenReady() + * will immediately call the callable with the held value. If the held + * value is empty, though, callWhenReady() will enqueue the callable + * for later. As soon as LLPounceable is assigned a non-empty held + * value, it will flush the queue of deferred callables. + * + * Consider a global LLMessageSystem* gMessageSystem. Message system + * initialization happens at a very specific point during viewer + * initialization. Other subsystems want to register callbacks on the + * LLMessageSystem instance as soon as it's initialized, but their own + * initialization may precede that. If we define gMessageSystem to be + * an LLPounceable<LLMessageSystem*>, a subsystem can use + * callWhenReady() to either register immediately (if gMessageSystem + * is already up and runnning) or register as soon as gMessageSystem + * is set with a new, initialized instance. + * + * $LicenseInfo:firstyear=2015&license=viewerlgpl$ + * Copyright (c) 2015, Linden Research, Inc. + * $/LicenseInfo$ + */ + +#if ! defined(LL_LLPOUNCEABLE_H) +#define LL_LLPOUNCEABLE_H + +#include "llsingleton.h" +#include <boost/noncopyable.hpp> +#include <boost/call_traits.hpp> +#include <boost/type_traits/remove_pointer.hpp> +#include <boost/utility/value_init.hpp> +#include <boost/unordered_map.hpp> +#include <boost/signals2/signal.hpp> + +// Forward declare the user template, since we want to be able to point to it +// in some of its implementation classes. +template <typename T, class TAG> +class LLPounceable; + +template <typename T, typename TAG> +struct LLPounceableTraits +{ + // Our "queue" is a signal object with correct signature. + typedef boost::signals2::signal<void (typename boost::call_traits<T>::param_type)> signal_t; + // Call callWhenReady() with any callable accepting T. + typedef typename signal_t::slot_type func_t; + // owner pointer type + typedef LLPounceable<T, TAG>* owner_ptr; +}; + +// Tag types distinguish the two different implementations of LLPounceable's +// queue. +struct LLPounceableQueue {}; +struct LLPounceableStatic {}; + +// generic LLPounceableQueueImpl deliberately omitted: only the above tags are +// legal +template <typename T, class TAG> +class LLPounceableQueueImpl; + +// The implementation selected by LLPounceableStatic uses an LLSingleton +// because we can't count on a data member queue being initialized at the time +// we start getting callWhenReady() calls.
