Detailed Description

template<class Stamper = DefaultTimeStamper>
class TimeStampedEvent< Stamper >

A simple basic event class that provides a time stamp for creation of the event. This class must be subclassed into a specific event (it can only be instantiated via a derived class since the constructor and destructor are protected), where data relevant to the event is stored.

The time stamp is the number of seconds since the first TimeStampedEvent was instantiated. This strategy ensures that the reference is always well defined and independent of compiler etc, is a relatively small number, and can be repeated.

Member Function Documentation

template<class Stamper = DefaultTimeStamper> const Stamper::DataType& TimeStampedEvent< Stamper >::getTimeStamp (    )  const [inline]

Get creation time of this event. This is given as the number of seconds (or fraction thereof) since the first instantiation of a TimeStampedEvent object. Returns: seconds since first TimeStampedEvent object created Definition at line 128 of file TimeStampedEvent.hh. Referenced by TimeStampedEvent<>::operator<().
