=head1 NAME
IPC::Run::Timer -- Timer channels for IPC::Run.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use IPC::Run qw( run timer timeout );
## or IPC::Run::Timer ( timer timeout );
## or IPC::Run::Timer ( :all );
## A non-fatal timer:
$t = timer( 5 ); # or...
$t = IO::Run::Timer->new( 5 );
run $t, ...;
## A timeout (which is a timer that dies on expiry):
$t = timeout( 5 ); # or...
$t = IO::Run::Timer->new( 5, exception => "harness timed out" );
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This class and module allows timers and timeouts to be created for use
by IPC::Run. A timer simply expires when it's time is up. A timeout
is a timer that throws an exception when it expires.
Timeouts are usually a bit simpler to use than timers: they throw an
exception on expiration so you don't need to check them:
## Give @cmd 10 seconds to get started, then 5 seconds to respond
my $t = timeout( 10 );
$h = start(
\@cmd, \$in, \$out,
$t,
);
pump $h until $out =~ /prompt/;
$in = "some stimulus";
$out = '';
$t->time( 5 )
pump $h until $out =~ /expected response/;
You do need to check timers:
## Give @cmd 10 seconds to get started, then 5 seconds to respond
my $t = timer( 10 );
$h = start(
\@cmd, \$in, \$out,
$t,
);
pump $h until $t->is_expired || $out =~ /prompt/;
$in = "some stimulus";
$out = '';
$t->time( 5 )
pump $h until $out =~ /expected response/ || $t->is_expired;
Timers and timeouts that are reset get started by start() and
pump(). Timers change state only in pump(). Since run() and
finish() both call pump(), they act like pump() with respect to
timers.
Timers and timeouts have three states: reset, running, and expired.
Setting the timeout value resets the timer, as does calling
the reset() method. The start() method starts (or restarts) a
timer with the most recently set time value, no matter what state
it's in.
=head2 Time values
All time values are in seconds. Times may be any kind of perl number,
e.g. as integer or floating point seconds, optionally preceded by
punctuation-separated days, hours, and minutes.
Examples:
1 1 second
1.1 1.1 seconds
60 60 seconds
1:0 1 minute
1:1 1 minute, 1 second
1:90 2 minutes, 30 seconds
1:2:3:4.5 1 day, 2 hours, 3 minutes, 4.5 seconds
'inf' the infinity perl special number (the timer never finishes)
Absolute date/time strings are *not* accepted: year, month and
day-of-month parsing is not available (patches welcome :-).
=head2 Interval fudging
When calculating an end time from a start time and an interval, IPC::Run::Timer
instances add a little fudge factor. This is to ensure that no time will
expire before the interval is up.
First a little background. Time is sampled in discrete increments. We'll
call the
exact moment that the reported time increments from one interval to the
next a tick, and the interval between ticks as the time period. Here's
a diagram of three ticks and the periods between them:
-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-...
^ ^ ^
|<--- period 0 ---->|<--- period 1 ---->|
| | |
tick 0 tick 1 tick 2
To see why the fudge factor is necessary, consider what would happen
when a timer with an interval of 1 second is started right at the end of
period 0:
-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-...
^ ^ ^ ^
| | | |
| | | |
tick 0 |tick 1 tick 2
|
start $t
Assuming that check() is called many times per period, then the timer
is likely to expire just after tick 1, since the time reported will have
lept from the value '0' to the value '1':
-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-...
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
| | | | |
| | | | |
tick 0 |tick 1| tick 2
| |
start $t |
|
check $t
Adding a fudge of '1' in this example means that the timer is guaranteed
not to expire before tick 2.
The fudge is not added to an interval of '0'.
This means that intervals guarantee a minimum interval. Given that
the process running perl may be suspended for some period of time, or that
it gets busy doing something time-consuming, there are no other guarantees on
how long it will take a timer to expire.
=head1 SUBCLASSING
INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: Due to the awkwardness introduced by ripping
pseudohashes out of Perl, this class I<no longer> uses the fields
pragma.

=item timer
A constructor function (not method) of IPC::Run::Timer instances:
$t = timer( 5 );
$t = timer( 5, name => 'stall timer', debug => 1 );
$t = timer;
$t->interval( 5 );
run ..., $t;
run ..., $t = timer( 5 );
This convenience function is a shortened spelling of
IPC::Run::Timer->new( ... );
. It returns a timer in the reset state with a given interval.
If an exception is provided, it will be thrown when the timer notices that
it has expired (in check()). The name is for debugging usage, if you plan on
having multiple timers around. If no name is provided, a name like "timer #1"
will be provided.

A constructor function (not method) of IPC::Run::Timer instances:

A This convenience function is a shortened spelling of

exception when it expires.
Takes the same parameters as L</timer>, any exception passed in overrides

=item check
check $t;
check $t, $now;
$t->check;
Checks to see if a timer has expired since the last check. Has no effect
on non-running timers. This will throw an exception if one is defined.
IPC::Run::pump() calls this routine for any timers in the harness.
You may pass in a version of now, which is useful in case you have
it lying around or you want to check several timers with a consistent
concept of the current time.
Returns the time left before end_time or 0 if end_time is no longer
in the future or the timer is not running
(unless, of course, check() expire()s the timer and this
results in an exception being thrown).
Returns undef if the timer is not running on entry, 0 if check() expires it,
and the time left if it's left running.

Sets/gets the current setting of the debugging flag for this timer. This
has no effect if debugging is not enabled for the current harness.

}
=item end_time
$et = $t->end_time;
$et = end_time $t;
$t->end_time( time + 10 );
Returns the time when this timer will or did expire. Even if this time is
in the past, the timer may not be expired, since check() may not have been
called yet.
Note that this end_time is not start_time($t) + interval($t), since some
small extra amount of time is added to make sure that the timer does not
expire before interval() elapses. If this were not so, then
Changing end_time() while a timer is running will set the expiration time.
Changing it while it is expired has no affect, since reset()ing a timer always
clears the end_time().

}
=item exception
$x = $t->exception;
$t->exception( $x );
$t->exception( undef );
Sets/gets the exception to throw, if any. 'undef' means that no
exception will be thrown. Exception does not need to be a scalar: you
may ask that references be thrown.

Sets the interval. Sets the end time based on the start_time() and the
interval (and a little fudge) if the timer is running.
=cut

expire $t;

Sets the state to expired (undef).
Will throw an exception if one
is defined and the timer was not already expired. You can expire a
reset timer without starting it.

=item start
start $t;

start $t, $interval;
start $t, $interval, $now;
Starts or restarts a timer. This always sets the start_time. It sets the
end_time based on the interval if the timer is running or if no end time
has been set.
You may pass an optional interval or current time value.
Not passing a defined interval causes the previous interval setting to be
re-used unless the timer is reset and an end_time has been set
(an exception is thrown if no interval has been set).
Not passing a defined current time value causes the current time to be used.
Passing a current time value is useful if you happen to have a time value
lying around or if you want to make sure that several timers are started
with the same concept of start time. You might even need to lie to an
IPC::Run::Timer, occasionally.

Get/Set the current state. Only use this if you really need to transfer the
