## Member Function Documentation

template<class T>
void ACE_Future_Rep< T >::assign | ( | ACE_Future_Rep< T > *& | rep,
|  | ACE_Future_Rep< T > * | new_rep
| ) | `[static, private]`

| Decreases the rep's reference count and deletes rep if there are no more references to rep. Then assigns new_rep to rep. Precondition (rep != 0 && new_rep != 0)

template<class T>
ACE_Future_Rep< T > * ACE_Future_Rep< T >::attach | ( | ACE_Future_Rep< T > *& | rep | ) | `[static, private]`

| Increase the reference count and return argument. Uses the attribute "value_ready_mutex_" to synchronize reference count updating. Precondition (rep != 0).

template<class T>
int ACE_Future_Rep< T >::attach | ( | ACE_Future_Observer< T > * | observer,
|  | ACE_Future< T > & | caller
| ) | `[private]`

| Attaches the specified observer to a subject (i.e., the <ACE_Future_Rep>). The update method of the specified subject will be invoked with a copy of the written-to <ACE_Future> as input when the result gets set. Returns 0 if the observer is successfully attached, 1 if the observer is already attached, and -1 if failures occur.

template<class T>
ACE_Future_Rep< T > * ACE_Future_Rep< T >::create | ( | void |  | ) | `[static, private]`

| Create a ACE_Future_Rep<T> and initialize the reference count.

template<class T>
void ACE_Future_Rep< T >::detach | ( | ACE_Future_Rep< T > *& | rep | ) | `[static, private]`

| Decreases the reference count and deletes rep if there are no more references to rep. Precondition (rep != 0)

template<class T>
int ACE_Future_Rep< T >::detach | ( | ACE_Future_Observer< T > * | observer | ) | `[private]`

| Detaches the specified observer from a subject (i.e., the <ACE_Future_Rep>). The update method of the specified subject will not be invoked when the <ACE_Future_Rep>s result gets set. Returns 1 if the specified observer was actually attached to the subject prior to this call and 0 if was not. Returns 0 if the observer was successfully detached, and -1 if the observer was not attached in the first place.

template<class T>
void ACE_Future_Rep< T >::dump | ( | void |  | ) | const`[private]`

| Dump the state of an object.

template<class T>
int ACE_Future_Rep< T >::get | ( | T & | value,
|  | ACE_Time_Value * | tv
| ) | const`[private]`

| Wait up to <tv> time to get the <value>. Note that <tv> must be specified in absolute time rather than relative time.

template<class T>
ACE_Future_Rep< T > * ACE_Future_Rep< T >::internal_create | ( | void |  | ) | `[static, private]`

| Allocate a new ACE_Future_Rep<T> instance, returning NULL if it cannot be created.

template<class T>
ACE_Future_Rep< T >::operator T | ( |  | ) | `[private]`

| Type conversion. will block forever until the result is available. Note that this method is going away in a subsequent release since it doesn't distinguish between failure results and success results (exceptions should be used, but they aren't portable...). The <get> method should be used instead since it separates the error value from the result, and also permits timeouts.

template<class T>
int ACE_Future_Rep< T >::ready | ( | void |  | ) | const`[private]`

| Is result available?

template<class T>
int ACE_Future_Rep< T >::set | ( | const T & | r,
|  | ACE_Future< T > & | caller
| ) | `[private]`

| Set the result value. The specified <caller> represents the future that invoked this <set> method, which is used to notify the list of future observers. Returns 0 for success, -1 on error. This function only has an effect the first time it is called for the object. Subsequent calls return 0 (success) but have no effect.
