This base class implements the IReferenceClockinterface.

The CBaseReferenceClockclass provides a full implementation of IReferenceClock. It uses CCritSeclocking support and CAMSchedulescheduler support.

Each advisecall defines a point in time when the caller wants to be notified. A periodic adviseis a regular series of such events.

A list of these advise requests is maintained by the reference clock. The clock calculates the delay until the first requested advise, and signals an event at the due time.

Clients are not advised through callbacks. One-shot clients have an event set, while periodic clients have a semaphore released for each event notification.

A semaphore allows a client to know exactly how many events were triggered, because multiple time periods might elapse before the client code executes.

During class construction, a worker thread is created. This thread executes a series of Win32 WaitForSingleObjectcalls, waking up when a command is given to the thread or the next wake-up point is reached.

The wake-up points are determined by clients making advise calls.

Protected Data Members

Member Description

m_pSchedule

Pointer to the CAMScheduleobject associated with this CBaseReferenceClockobject.

Member Functions

Member function Description

CBaseReferenceClock

Constructs a CBaseReferenceClockobject.

GetSchedule

Returns the CAMSchedulepointer stored in the m_pScheduledata member.

SetTimeDelta

Adjusts the values returned from CBaseReferenceClock::GetPrivateTimeby the amount specified in this member function.

TriggerThread

Triggers the advise thread's event.

If you override CBaseReferenceClock::GetPrivateTime, reuse or abandon this method.

Implemented IReferenceClock Methods

Method Description

AdvisePeriodic

Requests an asynchronous periodic notification that a time has elapsed.

AdviseTime

Requests an asynchronous notification that a time has elapsed.

GetTime

Returns a reference time.

Unadvise

Removes a previously established advise link.

Overrideable Member Functions

Member function Description

GetPrivateTime

Gets the current time from the real clock.

To implement your own clock, override this member function.
