	The name of this class.
static const uint32_t	magic_check_number
	a "magic" number, hashed out of the class definition, that will be used to check consistency of the sent objects across the dueca nodes.

Detailed Description

DataTimeSpec is a special bare-bones version of TimeSpec.

It is used for storage of the time specification with the data in channels. The advantage is that DataTimeSpec has no virtual functions and thus no virtual table pointer. This does not only make it smaller, but it also make the DataTimeSpec usable across a reflective/shared memory device where a virtual table pointer would be erroneous in all but one process.

Member Function Documentation

operator new()

static void * dueca::DataTimeSpec::operator new ( size_t size )

static

new operator "new", which places objects not on a heap, but in one of the memory arenas.

This to speed up memory management.

packDataDiff()

void dueca::DataTimeSpec::packDataDiff	(	::dueca::AmorphStore &	s,
		const DataTimeSpec &	ref ) const

packs the DataTimeSpec into amorphous storage.

only differences with a previous object are packed.
