Detailed Description

This class is used to perform Resource operations in a background thread.

Remarks: All these requests are now queued via Root::getWorkQueue in order to share the thread pool amongst all background tasks. You should therefore refer to that class for configuring the behaviour of the threads themselves, this class merely provides an interface that is specific to resource loading around this common functionality.

: The general approach here is that on requesting a background resource process, your request is placed on a queue ready for the background thread to be picked up, and you will get a 'ticket' back, identifying the request. Your call will then return and your thread can proceed, knowing that at some point in the background the operation will be performed. In it's own thread, the resource operation will be performed, and once finished the ticket will be marked as complete. You can check the status of tickets by calling isProcessComplete() from your queueing thread.

◆ unload() [1/2]

virtual BackgroundProcessTicket Ogre::ResourceBackgroundQueue::unload	(	const String &	resType,

	)

virtual

Unload a single resource in the background.

See also: ResourceManager::unload

Parameters

resType	The type of the resource (from ResourceManager::getResourceType())
handle	Handle to the resource
listener	Optional callback interface, take note of warnings in the header and only use if you understand them.

◆ unloadResourceGroup()

virtual BackgroundProcessTicket Ogre::ResourceBackgroundQueue::unloadResourceGroup	(	const String &	name,
		Listener *	listener = `0`
	)

virtual

Unloads a resource group in the background.

See also: ResourceGroupManager::unloadResourceGroup

Parameters

name	The name of the resource group to load
listener	Optional callback interface, take note of warnings in the header and only use if you understand them.

Returns: Ticket identifying the request, use isProcessComplete() to determine if completed if not using listener

◆ prepare()

virtual BackgroundProcessTicket Ogre::ResourceBackgroundQueue::prepare	(	const String &	resType,
		const String &	name,
		const String &	group,
		bool	isManual = `false`,
		ManualResourceLoader *	loader = `0`,
		const NameValuePairList *	loadParams = `0`,
		Listener *	listener = `0`
	)

virtual

Prepare a single resource in the background.

See also: ResourceManager::prepare

Parameters

resType	The type of the resource (from ResourceManager::getResourceType())
name	The name of the Resource
group	The resource group to which this resource will belong
isManual	Is the resource to be manually loaded? If so, you should provide a value for the loader parameter
loader	The manual loader which is to perform the required actions when this resource is loaded; only applicable when you specify true for the previous parameter. NOTE: must be thread safe!!
loadParams	Optional pointer to a list of name/value pairs containing loading parameters for this type of resource. Remember that this must have a lifespan longer than the return of this call!
listener	Optional callback interface, take note of warnings in the header and only use if you understand them.

◆ load()

		const String &	name,
		const String &	group,
		bool	isManual = `false`,
		ManualResourceLoader *	loader = `0`,
		const NameValuePairList *	loadParams = `0`,
		Listener *	listener = `0`
	)

virtual

Load a single resource in the background.

See also: ResourceManager::load

Parameters

resType	The type of the resource (from ResourceManager::getResourceType())
name	The name of the Resource
group	The resource group to which this resource will belong
isManual	Is the resource to be manually loaded? If so, you should provide a value for the loader parameter
loader	The manual loader which is to perform the required actions when this resource is loaded; only applicable when you specify true for the previous parameter. NOTE: must be thread safe!!
loadParams	Optional pointer to a list of name/value pairs containing loading parameters for this type of resource. Remember that this must have a lifespan longer than the return of this call!
listener	Optional callback interface, take note of warnings in the header and only use if you understand them.

◆ isProcessComplete()

virtual bool Ogre::ResourceBackgroundQueue::isProcessComplete ( BackgroundProcessTicket ticket )

virtual

Returns whether a previously queued process has completed or not.

Remarks: This method of checking that a background process has completed is the 'polling' approach. Each queued method takes an optional listener parameter to allow you to register a callback instead, which is arguably more efficient.

Parameters

ticket The ticket which was returned when the process was queued

Returns: true if process has completed (or if the ticket is unrecognised), false otherwise

Note: Tickets are not stored once complete so do not accumulate over time. This is why a non-existent ticket will return 'true'.

◆ abortRequest()

void Ogre::ResourceBackgroundQueue::abortRequest ( BackgroundProcessTicket ticket )

Aborts background process.

◆ canHandleRequest()

bool Ogre::ResourceBackgroundQueue::canHandleRequest	(	const WorkQueue::Request *	req,
		const WorkQueue *	srcQ

◆ handleRequest()

WorkQueue::Response* Ogre::ResourceBackgroundQueue::handleRequest	(	const WorkQueue::Request *	req,
		const WorkQueue *	srcQ
	)

virtual

Implementation for WorkQueue::RequestHandler.

Implements Ogre::WorkQueue::RequestHandler.

◆ canHandleResponse()

bool Ogre::ResourceBackgroundQueue::canHandleResponse	(	const WorkQueue::Response *	res,
		const WorkQueue *	srcQ
	)

virtual

Implementation for WorkQueue::ResponseHandler.

◆ handleResponse()

void Ogre::ResourceBackgroundQueue::handleResponse	(	const WorkQueue::Response *	res,
		const WorkQueue *	srcQ
	)

virtual

Implementation for WorkQueue::ResponseHandler.
