Description

Implementation building blocks for time modification and propagation.

The time::Control element allows to impose modifications to a connected time value entity and at the same time publish the changes to registered listeners. Due to the various flavours of actual time value entities, this is a complex undertaking, which is implemented here based on policies and template metaprogramming. This header/include defines two building blocks:

• the actual Mutator to apply the changes to the target entity
• a Propagator to register listeners and forward the changes.

implementation technique

The Mutator uses functor objects to encapsulate the actual modification operations. When attaching to a target time entity to be manipulated, these functor objects will be configured by binding them to the appropriate implementation function. And picking this actual implementation is done through a time::mutation::Policy element, using the concrete time entity types as template parameter. Thus, the actual implementation to be used is determined by the compiler, through the template specialisations contained in control-policy.hpp

Note

the header control-policy.hpp with the template specialisations is included way down, after the class definitions. This is done so for sake of readability
