namespace time_series

Functions

void clear_memory(std::string segment_id)

Wipe out the corresponding shared memory.

Useful if no instances of MultiprocessTimeSeries cleared the memory on destruction. Reusing the segment id of a non-wiped shared memory may result in the newly created instance to hang.

template<typename T = int>
class MultiprocessTimeSeries : public internal::TimeSeriesBase<internal::MultiProcesses, int>

Multiprocess Time Series.

Several instances hosted by different processes, if pointing to the same shared memory segment (as specified by the segment_id), may read/write from the same underlying time series.

Public Functions

inline MultiprocessTimeSeries(std::string segment_id, size_t max_length, bool leader = true, Index start_timeindex = 0)

create a new instance pointing to the specified shared memory segment

Deprecated:

uses the factory functions create_leader or create_follower

Parameters
  • segment_id – the id of the segment to point to

  • max_length – max number of elements in the time series

  • leader – if true, the shared memory segment will initialize the shared time series, and wiped the related shared memory on destruction. Instantiating a first MultiprocessTimeSeries with leader set to false will result in undefined behavior. When the leader instance is destroyed, other instances are pointing to the shared segment may crash or hang.

inline MultiprocessTimeSeries(MultiprocessTimeSeries<T> &&other) noexcept
inline std::string get_raw(const Index &timeindex)

similar to the random access operator, but does not deserialized the accessed element.

If the element is of a fundamental type (or an array of), an std::logic_error is thrown.

Public Static Functions

static inline size_t get_max_length(const std::string &segment_id)

returns the max length used by a leading MultiprocessTimeSeries of the corresponding segment_id

static inline Index get_start_timeindex(const std::string &segment_id)

returns the start index used by a leading MultiprocessTimeSeries of the corresponding segment_id

static inline MultiprocessTimeSeries<T> create_leader(const std::string &segment_id, size_t max_length, Index start_timeindex = 0)

returns a leader instance of MultiprocessTimeSeries<T>

Parameters
  • segment_id – the id of the segment to point to

  • max_length – max number of elements in the time series

static inline std::shared_ptr<MultiprocessTimeSeries<T>> create_leader_ptr(const std::string &segment_id, size_t max_length, Index start_timeindex = 0)

same as create_leader but returning a shared_ptr.

static inline MultiprocessTimeSeries<T> create_follower(const std::string &segment_id)

returns a follower instance of MultiprocessTimeSeries<T>.

An follower instance should be created only if a leader instance has been created first. A std::runtime_error will be thrown otherwise.

Parameters

segment_id – the id of the segment to point to

static inline std::shared_ptr<MultiprocessTimeSeries<T>> create_follower_ptr(const std::string &segment_id)

same as create_follower but returning a shared_ptr.

Protected Functions

inline void read_indexes() const
inline void write_indexes()

Protected Attributes

mutable shared_memory::array<Index> indexes_

Protected Static Functions

static inline void get_max_length_and_start_index_from_leader(const std::string &segment_id, size_t *max_length, Index *start_timeindex)

Load length and start index from leader.

Assumes that a leader time series is already running and providing this information in the shared memory.

Parameters
  • segment_id[in] The id of the segment to point to.

  • max_length[out] The max. length of the time series.

  • start_timeindex[out]

Throws

std::runtime_error – If the data cannot be read from the specified shared memory segment.
