Public Functions

Follower(std::string memory_segment_, double async_frequency, bool sync_on_start = false)

Tools for setting a process to run alternatively asynchronously (i.e.

at own desired frequency) or synchronously to another process managed by a Leader using the same memory_segment id. At startup, the follower will init to async mode, and will switch to synchronous if the function set_sync of the leader is called. Note that as follower needs to be started before its leader, and can survive several leaders. param[in] memory_segment segment id of the shared memory shared between the leader and the follower param[in] frequency the follower will run at when in async mode

~Follower()

void pulse()

Either sleep to matches the frequency (async mode) or uses internally wait/notify functions to alternate run with the leader (sync mode)
