## Detailed Description

Base class for <ACE_Message_Queue>, which is the central queueing facility for messages in the ACE framework.

For all the <ACE_Time_Value> pointer parameters the caller will block until action is possible if <timeout> == 0. Otherwise, it will wait until the absolute time specified in *<timeout> elapses.

## Member Enumeration Documentation

  DEFAULT_HWM | Default high watermark (16 K).
  DEFAULT_LWM | Default low watermark (same as high water mark).

## Member Function Documentation

virtual int ACE_Message_Queue_Base::activate | ( | void |  | ) | `[pure virtual]`

| Reactivate the queue so that threads can enqueue and dequeue messages again. Returns WAS_INACTIVE if queue was inactive before the call and WAS_ACTIVE if queue was active before the call. Reimplemented in ACE_Message_Queue, ACE_Message_Queue< ACE_SYNCH >, ACE_Message_Queue< ACE_SYNCH_USE >, and ACE_Message_Queue< ACE_MT_SYNCH >.

virtual int ACE_Message_Queue_Base::close | ( | void |  | ) | `[pure virtual]`

| Close down the message queue and release all resources. Reimplemented in ACE_Message_Queue, ACE_Message_Queue< ACE_SYNCH >, ACE_Message_Queue< ACE_SYNCH_USE >, and ACE_Message_Queue< ACE_MT_SYNCH >.

virtual int ACE_Message_Queue_Base::deactivate | ( | void |  | ) | `[pure virtual]`

| Deactivate the queue and wakeup all threads waiting on the queue so they can continue. No messages are removed from the queue, however. Any other operations called until the queue is activated again will immediately return -1 with <errno> == ESHUTDOWN. Returns WAS_INACTIVE if queue was inactive before the call and WAS_ACTIVE if queue was active before the call. Reimplemented in ACE_Message_Queue, ACE_Message_Queue< ACE_SYNCH >, ACE_Message_Queue< ACE_SYNCH_USE >, and ACE_Message_Queue< ACE_MT_SYNCH >.

| Dequeue and return the <ACE_Message_Block *> at the head of the queue. Returns number of items in queue if the call succeeds or -1 otherwise. These calls return -1 when queue is closed, deactivated (in which case <errno> == <ESHUTDOWN>), when a signal occurs (in which case <errno> == <EINTR>, or if the time specified in timeout elapses (in which case <errno> == <EWOULDBLOCK>).

Reimplemented in ACE_Message_Queue, ACE_Dynamic_Message_Queue, ACE_Message_Queue< ACE_SYNCH >, ACE_Message_Queue< ACE_SYNCH_USE >, and ACE_Message_Queue< ACE_MT_SYNCH >.

|  | ACE_Time_Value * | timeout = 0
| ) | `[pure virtual]`

| Retrieve the first <ACE_Message_Block> without removing it. Note that <timeout> uses <{absolute}> time rather than <{relative}> time. If the <timeout> elapses without receiving a message -1 is returned and <errno> is set to <EWOULDBLOCK>. If the queue is deactivated -1 is returned and <errno> is set to <ESHUTDOWN>.
