Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class TokenBucketJiffyParameters< T >

Helper class for token bucket rate limiter.

never

Pass this class as the parameter to TokenRateX. TokenBucketJiffyParameters measures ticks in units of jiffies. The template parameter is the type of tokens.

Member Typedef Documentation

token_type

template<typename T >

typedef T TokenBucketJiffyParameters< T >::token_type

The type of tokens. Always unsigned.

time_point_type

template<typename T >

typedef click_jiffies_t TokenBucketJiffyParameters< T >::time_point_type

The type of a time point. Always unsigned.

duration_type

template<typename T >

typedef click_jiffies_difference_t TokenBucketJiffyParameters< T >::duration_type

The type of a difference between time points. Always signed.

Member Function Documentation

now()

template<typename T >

static time_point_type TokenBucketJiffyParameters< T >::now ( )

inlinestatic

Return the current time point.

Note

TokenBucketJiffyParameters measures time points in jiffies.

time_monotonic_difference()

template<typename T >

static duration_type TokenBucketJiffyParameters< T >::time_monotonic_difference ( time_point_type  a, time_point_type  b  )

inlinestatic

Return b - a, assuming that b was measured after a.

Some time measurements can, in rare cases, appear to jump backwards, as timestamps do when the user changes the current time. If this happens, and b < a (even though b happened after a), time_monotonic_difference must return 0.

time_less()

template<typename T >

static bool TokenBucketJiffyParameters< T >::time_less ( time_point_type  a, time_point_type  b  )

inlinestatic

Return true if a happened before b.

frequency()

template<typename T >

static unsigned TokenBucketJiffyParameters< T >::frequency ( )

inlinestatic

Return the number of time points per period.

Here, this is the number of jiffies per second.

timestamp() [1/2]

template<typename T >

static Timestamp TokenBucketJiffyParameters< T >::timestamp ( time_point_type  x )

inlinestatic

Return the Timestamp representing a given time point.

timestamp() [2/2]

template<typename T >

static Timestamp TokenBucketJiffyParameters< T >::timestamp ( duration_type  x )

inlinestatic

Return the Timestamp representing a given tick count.
