You should not expect a resolution in time better than 1ms. The actual resolution depends on the system the code is run on and may be worse than this. This is a SMALL object.

bool virt;

Virtual timer ?

bool timesUp;

IntT id;

DeadLineTimerC(bool useVirt = false)

Default constructor.

~DeadLineTimerC()

Destructor.

DeadLineTimerC(const DateC & timetoGo,bool useVirt = false)

Constructor for an absolute time.

DeadLineTimerC(RealT timetoGo,bool useVirt = false)

Constructor for a relative (to now) time.
Dead line will expire in 'timetoGo' seonds.

void Stop()

Stop timer.
This will set the timesUp flag, and free the deadline timer.

bool Reset(RealT time)

Reset timer with 'time' left before deadline.
Will return false if deadline setup failed, or if the time as expired before the setup is completed. Any time smaller than zero is treated as infinite. NB. There is currently a maximum number of 64 deadline timers that can be active at any time.

This isn't a trivial routine, it involves several system calles, and alot of mucking about. Avoid calling it excessively.

bool Reset(const DateC & time)

Set the deadline for 'time'
Will return false if deadline setup failed, or if the time as expired before the setup is completed. NB. There is currently a maximum number of 64 deadline timers that can be active at any time.

This isn't a trivial routine, it involves several system calles, and alot of mucking about. Avoid calling it excessively.

const bool & IsTimeUp() const

Has dead line been reached ?

bool IsRunning() const

Is timer still running ?

bool IsVirtual() const

Is virtual timer.

RealT Remaining() const

Get an estimate of the time remaining on deadline.
If dead line has expired 0 is returned.

bool WaitForIt() const

Wait for deadline to expire.
May return false if no deadline pending, which could happen if the timer expires before the call.
