Class: TPseudoTimeStampGenerator

Declaration: PseudoTimeStampGenerator.h

Taxonomy Categories:

Member Functions:

Interface Category:

API.

Inherits From:

None.

Inherited By:

None.

Purpose:

This class provides unique, ascending pseudo time stamps for objects in the local task. By updating object time stamps using TPseudoTimeStampGenerator, the time stamps are maintained relative to this single counter, and clients that depend on multiple objects only need to maintain one pseudo time stamp.

Instantiation:

Allocate on the heap or the stack.

Deriving Classes:

None.

Concurrency:

Multithread safe.

Resource Use:

No special requirements.

Other Considerations:

None.
