Detailed Description

Critical section locking class.

FastMutexLock allows the locking of variables which are accessed through different threads. This header file also defines SimpleFastMutexLock which is not a subclass of Object. The API is identical to that of MutexLock, and the behavior is identical as well, except on Windows 9x/NT platforms. The only difference on these platforms is that MutexLock is more flexible, in that it works across processes as well as across threads, but also costs more, in that it evokes a 600-cycle x86 ring transition. The FastMutexLock provides a higher-performance equivalent (on Windows) but won't work across processes. Since it is unclear how, in itk, an object at the itk level can be shared across processes in the first place, one should use FastMutexLock unless one has a very good reason to use MutexLock. If higher-performance equivalents for non-Windows platforms (Irix, SunOS, etc) are discovered, they should replace the implementations in this class

typedef SmartPointer<const Self> itk::FastMutexLock::ConstPointer

Reimplemented from itk::Object.

Definition at line 58 of file itkFastMutexLock.h.

typedef int itk::LightObject::InternalReferenceCountType [protected, inherited]

Define the type of the reference count according to the target. This allows the use of atomic operations

Member Function Documentation

unsigned long itk::Object::AddObserver	(	const EventObject &	event,
		Command *
	)			const `[inherited]`

unsigned long itk::Object::AddObserver	(	const EventObject &	event,
		Command *
	)			`[inherited]`

Allow people to add/remove/invoke observers (callbacks) to any ITK object. This is an implementation of the subject/observer design pattern. An observer is added by specifying an event to respond to and an itk::Command to execute. It returns an unsigned long tag which can be used later to remove the event or retrieve the command. The memory for the Command becomes the responsibility of this object, so don't pass the same instance of a command to two different objects

static void itk::LightObject::BreakOnError ( ) [static, inherited]

This method is called when itkExceptionMacro executes. It allows the debugger to break on error.

virtual LightObject::Pointer itk::Object::CreateAnother ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Create an object from an instance, potentially deferring to a factory. This method allows you to create an instance of an object that is exactly the same type as the referring object. This is useful in cases where an object has been cast back to a base class.

Reimplemented from itk::LightObject.

virtual void itk::Object::DebugOff ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Turn debugging output off.

virtual void itk::Object::DebugOn ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Turn debugging output on.

virtual void itk::LightObject::Delete ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Delete an itk object. This method should always be used to delete an object when the new operator was used to create it. Using the C delete method will not work with reference counting.

Command* itk::Object::GetCommand ( unsigned long tag ) [inherited]

Get the command associated with the given tag. NOTE: This returns a pointer to a Command, but it is safe to asign this to a Command::Pointer. Since Command inherits from LightObject, at this point in the code, only a pointer or a reference to the Command can be used.

bool itk::Object::GetDebug ( ) const [inherited]

Get the value of the debug flag.

static bool itk::Object::GetGlobalWarningDisplay ( ) [static, inherited]

const MetaDataDictionary& itk::Object::GetMetaDataDictionary ( void ) const [inherited]

Returns:: A constant reference to this objects MetaDataDictionary.

MetaDataDictionary& itk::Object::GetMetaDataDictionary ( void ) [inherited]

Returns:: A reference to this objects MetaDataDictionary.

Warning:: This reference may be changed.

virtual unsigned long itk::Object::GetMTime ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Return this objects modified time.

Referenced by itk::SpatialObject< ::itk::GetMeshDimension< TMesh >::PointDimension >::GetObjectMTime().

virtual const char* itk::FastMutexLock::GetNameOfClass ( ) const [virtual]

Run-time type information.

Reimplemented from itk::Object.

virtual int itk::LightObject::GetReferenceCount ( ) const [inline, virtual, inherited]

Gets the reference count on this object.

Definition at line 106 of file itkLightObject.h.

static void itk::Object::GlobalWarningDisplayOff ( ) [inline, static, inherited]

Definition at line 100 of file itkObject.h.

References itk::Object::SetGlobalWarningDisplay().

static void itk::Object::GlobalWarningDisplayOn ( ) [inline, static, inherited]

Definition at line 98 of file itkObject.h.

References itk::Object::SetGlobalWarningDisplay().

bool itk::Object::HasObserver ( const EventObject & event ) const [inherited]

Return true if an observer is registered for this event.

void itk::Object::InvokeEvent ( const EventObject & ) const [inherited]

Call Execute on all the Commands observing this event id. The actions triggered by this call doesn't modify this object.

void itk::Object::InvokeEvent ( const EventObject & ) [inherited]

Call Execute on all the Commands observing this event id.

void itk::FastMutexLock::Lock ( void ) [inline]

Lock the itkFastMutexLock.

Definition at line 85 of file itkFastMutexLock.h.

References itk::SimpleFastMutexLock::Lock(), and m_SimpleFastMutexLock.

virtual void itk::Object::Modified ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Update the modification time for this object. Many filters rely on the modification time to determine if they need to recompute their data.

static Pointer itk::FastMutexLock::New ( ) [static]

Method for creation.

Reimplemented from itk::Object.

void itk::LightObject::Print	(	std::ostream &	os,
		Indent	indent = `0`
	)			const `[inherited]`

Cause the object to print itself out.

void itk::FastMutexLock::PrintSelf	(	std::ostream &	os,

	)			const `[protected, virtual]`

Methods invoked by Print() to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from itk::Object.
