class ModelLoadRequest

Detailed Description

A convenient class for loading models from disk, in bam or egg format (or any of a number of other formats implemented by a LoaderFileType, such as ptloader).

This class supports synchronous as well as asynchronous loading. In asynchronous loading, the model is loaded in the background by a thread, and an event will be generated when the model is available. If threading is not available, the asynchronous loading interface may be used, but it loads synchronously.

void Loader::load_async ( AsyncTask request) [inline]

Begins an asynchronous load request.

To use this call, first create a new ModelLoadRequest object with the filename you wish to load, and then add that object to the Loader with load_async. This function will return immediately, and the model will be loaded in the background.

To determine when the model has completely loaded, you may poll request->is_ready() from time to time, or set the done_event on the request object and listen for that event. When the model is ready, you may retrieve it via request->get_model().

Definition at line 216 of file loader.I.

References AsyncTask::set_task_chain().

void ReferenceCount::local_object ( ) [inline, inherited]

This function should be called, once, immediately after creating a new instance of some ReferenceCount-derived object on the stack.

This allows the object to be passed to functions that will increment and decrement the object's reference count temporarily, and it will prevent the object from being deleted (inappropriately), when the reference count returns to zero. It actually achieves this by setting a large positive value in the reference count field.

Definition at line 276 of file referenceCount.I.

Referenced by PGTop::cull_callback(), BoundingSphere::extend_by_hexahedron(), AsyncTaskManager::find_task(), AsyncTaskManager::find_tasks(), and AsyncTaskManager::find_tasks_matching().

void Loader::output ( ostream &  out) const [virtual]

Outputs the Namable.

This function simply writes the name to the output stream; most Namable derivatives will probably redefine this.

Reimplemented from Namable.

Definition at line 109 of file loader.cxx.

void ReferenceCount::ref ( ) const [inline, inherited]

Explicitly increments the reference count.

User code should avoid using ref() and unref() directly, which can result in missed reference counts. Instead, let a PointerTo object manage the reference counting automatically.

This function is const, even though it changes the object, because generally fiddling with an object's reference count isn't considered part of fiddling with the object. An object might be const in other ways, but we still need to accurately count the number of references to it.

bool Loader::remove ( AsyncTask task) [inline]

Removes a pending asynchronous load request.

Returns true if successful, false otherwise.

Definition at line 177 of file loader.I.

void Loader::set_task_chain ( const string &  task_chain) [inline]

Specifies the task chain that is used for asynchronous loads.

The default is the initial name of the Loader object.

Definition at line 142 of file loader.I.

void Loader::set_task_manager ( AsyncTaskManager task_manager) [inline]

Specifies the task manager that is used for asynchronous loads.

The default is the global task manager.

Definition at line 119 of file loader.I.

void Loader::stop_threads ( ) [inline]

Stop any threads used for asynchronous loads.

Definition at line 163 of file loader.I.

bool ReferenceCount::test_ref_count_integrity ( ) const [inline, inherited]
bool ReferenceCount::test_ref_count_nonzero ( ) const [inline, inherited]

Does some easy checks to make sure that the reference count isn't zero, or completely bogus.

Returns true if ok, false otherwise.

Definition at line 252 of file referenceCount.I.

References ReferenceCount::do_test_ref_count_nonzero().

Referenced by CopyOnWritePointer::test_ref_count_nonzero().

bool ReferenceCount::unref ( ) const [inline, virtual, inherited]

Explicitly decrements the reference count.

Note that the object will not be implicitly deleted by unref() simply because the reference count drops to zero. (Having a member function delete itself is problematic.) However, see the helper function unref_delete().

User code should avoid using ref() and unref() directly, which can result in missed reference counts. Instead, let a PointerTo object manage the reference counting automatically.

This function is const, even though it changes the object, because generally fiddling with an object's reference count isn't considered part of fiddling with the object. An object might be const in other ways, but we still need to accurately count the number of references to it.

The return value is true if the new reference count is nonzero, false if it is zero.

void ReferenceCount::weak_ref ( WeakPointerToVoid ptv) [inline, inherited]

Adds the indicated PointerToVoid as a weak reference to this object.

Definition at line 321 of file referenceCount.I.

References WeakReferenceList::add_reference(), and ReferenceCount::get_weak_list().

void ReferenceCount::weak_unref ( WeakPointerToVoid ptv) [inline, inherited]

Removes the indicated PointerToVoid as a weak reference to this object.

It must have previously been added via a call to weak_ref().
