Detailed Description

TW timer template header file, do not compile directly.

Instantiation of tw_timer_template.h generates named structures to implement specific timer wheel geometries. Choices include: number of timer wheels (currently, 1 or 2), number of slots per ring (a power of two), and the number of timers per "object handle".

Internally, user object/timer handles are 32-bit integers, so if one selects 16 timers/object (4 bits), the resulting timer wheel handle is limited to 2**28 objects.

Here are the specific settings required to generate a single 2048 slot wheel which supports 2 timers per object:

#define TW_TIMER_WHEELS 1
#define TW_SLOTS_PER_RING 2048
#define TW_RING_SHIFT 11
#define TW_RING_MASK (TW_SLOTS_PER_RING -1)
#define TW_TIMERS_PER_OBJECT 2
#define LOG2_TW_TIMERS_PER_OBJECT 1
#define TW_SUFFIX _2t_1w_2048sl

See tw_timer_2t_1w_2048sl.h for a complete example.

tw_timer_template.h is not intended to be #included directly. Client codes can include multiple timer geometry header files, although extreme caution would required to use the TW and TWT macros in such a case.

API usage example:

Initialize a two-timer, single 2048-slot wheel w/ a 1-second timer granularity:

tw_timer_wheel_init_2t_1w_2048sl (&tm->single_wheel,
                                 expired_timer_single_callback,
                                  1.0 / * timer interval * / );

Start a timer:

handle = tw_timer_start_2t_1w_2048sl (&tm->single_wheel, elt_index,
                                      [0 | 1] / * timer id * / ,
                                      expiration_time_in_u32_ticks);

Stop a timer:

tw_timer_stop_2t_1w_2048sl (&tm->single_wheel, handle);

Expired timer callback:

static void
expired_timer_single_callback (u32 * expired_timers)
{
    int i;
    u32 pool_index, timer_id;
    tw_timer_test_elt_t *e;
    tw_timer_test_main_t *tm = &tw_timer_test_main;

    for (i = 0; i < vec_len (expired_timers);
        {
        pool_index = expired_timers[i] & 0x7FFFFFFF;
        timer_id = expired_timers[i] >> 31;

        ASSERT (timer_id == 1);

        e = pool_elt_at_index (tm->test_elts, pool_index);

        if (e->expected_to_expire != tm->single_wheel.current_tick)
          {
            fformat (stdout, "[%d] expired at %d not %d\n",
                     e - tm->test_elts, tm->single_wheel.current_tick,
                     e->expected_to_expire);
          }
     pool_put (tm->test_elts, e);
     }
 }
