- FairMQ: add possibility to poll on multiple channels.
- FairMQ: include command channel when polling on blocking calls (for unblocking without termination).
- FairMQ: move signal handler inside of FairMQDevice class (call FairMQDevice::CatchSignals() in the main function).
- FairMQ: add 'bool CheckCurrentState(statename)' (instead of 'GetCurrentState() == statename' that cannot be thread safe).
- FairMQDevice: add 'InteractiveStateLoop()' method that can be used to change states from the command line.
- FairMQDevice: add automatic transition to IDLE state if Run() exits without an external event.
- FairMQDevice: implement device reset.
- FairMQDevice: use unordered_map for device channels.
- FairMQChannel: improve address validation for channels.
- FairMQChannel: add ExpectsAnotherPart() method to check if another msg part is expected (old approach still works).
- FairMQ: remove invalid transition from the run files.
- FairMQFileSink: disable ROOT termination signal handler.
- Tutorial3: spawn xterm windows from start scripts without overlapping for better visibility.
- FairMQ Examples: update protobuf test and move its files to a common directory.
- FairMQStateMachine: improve feedback on invalid transitions (more readable).
a) move the XML parser into the FairMQ/options/FairMQParser.h
b) add a routine in FairMQProgOption to check whether the necessary XML or JSON input files are there, and send an error message if not there
- Policy based devices:
a) rename GenericSampler to base_GenericSampler and use an alias template named GenericSampler
b) in base_GenericSampler, rename template parameter to simple variables <T,U,… > and use typedef for clarity
c) introduce an anonymous function container in the base_GenericSampler host class with a register task template member function and an Executetasks()
d) add two new template parameters in base_GenericSampler for the anonymous function container map. parameter is K for the key type (default=int) and L for the value type (default=std::function<void()>)
- Tutorial7:
a) use FairMQProgOption to configure devices in tutorial7
b) introduce several template functions helper in tutorial7 to reduce code redundancy
c) show examples in tutorial7 of task registration with callback and lambda expression for the sampler devices
d) separate the executable build of the tutorial7 data generator to remove the Roofit banner when executing the MQdevices
Organize sockets as a map of vectors of FairMQChannels.
Update FairMQStateMachine by removing SETTINGINPUT, SETTINGOUTPUT,
BIND and CONNECT states and by adding INITIALIZING_TASK, RESETTING_TASK
and RESETTING_DEVICE states. Run states functions in their own thread.
FairMQDevice: Rename property for socket rate logging to have common format (old name is still available for compatibility).
FairMQ: Avoid using std namespace in class headers (may require adding std namespace to some child devices).
FairMQ: A bit of code cleanup
FairMQConfigurable: Stop with an error if a property assignment failed due to incorrect key.
