SObjectizer v.5.5.4 TODOs

TODO

---

POSTPONED or DECLINED

Customization of reaction to cooperation deregistration

Something like Erlang/Akka supervisors. For example if a cooperation is deregistered in the case of unhandled exception it can be recreated.

Postponed until it will be required in some real project

Cooperation deregistration scheme change

Purpose: to allow creation of single-threaded Run-Time.

Postponed because there is no real need for single-threaded SObjectizer version.

Event queues implementation tuning

Postponed for the future version (because of lack of resources and time).

---

DONE

Tools for monitoring of SObjectizer internals

Like event queue sizes, event handling times, count of agents registered and so on.

Implemented in a simple form. See: [so-5.5 In-depth - Run-Time Monitoring]

Autoshutdown and removing of unused dispatchers

Implemented like private dispatcher. See: [so-5.5.4 Private dispatchers]

Message limits implementation

Implemented. See: [so-5.5.4 Message limits]

agent_context_t for agent's constructor simplification

A new class agent_context_t can be used for simplification writing agent's constructor for the cases where agent tuning options are present or absent. Instead of writing this:

class my_agent : public so_5::rt::agent_t
{
public :
  // When there are no tuning options:
  my_agent(
    // Environment to work in.
    so_5::rt::environment_t & env,
    // Some class-specific args.
    ... );

  // When there are some tuning options:
  my_agent(
    // Environment to work in.
    so_5::rt::environment_t & env,
    // Tuning options.
    const so_5::rt::agent_tuning_options_t & options,
    // Some class-specific args.
    ... );
  ...
};

it is possible to write like this:

class my_agent : public so_5::rt::agent_t
{
public :
  // Tuning options can be either specified or not.
  my_agent(
    // Environment to work in and optional tuning options.
    agent_context_t env,
    // Some class-specific args.
    ... );
  ...
};

It could used as this:

auto coop = env.create_coop( so_5::autoname );
coop->add_agent( new my_agent( env, ... ) );
coop->add_agent( new my_agent( env + create_agent_option(), ... ) );

Implemented. See: [so-5.5.4 Another constructor for agent_t with context_t parameter]
