virtual void BALL::TimeStamp::clear

(

)

[virtual]

Clear method

const PreciseTime& BALL::TimeStamp::getTime

(

)

const

Return the time of last modification

Returns:

the time stamp

bool BALL::TimeStamp::isNewerThan

(

const TimeStamp &

stamp

)

const

Check the time stamp.

bool BALL::TimeStamp::isNewerThan

(

const PreciseTime &

time

)

const

Check the time stamp.

bool BALL::TimeStamp::isOlderThan

(

const TimeStamp &

stamp

)

const

Check the time stamp.

bool BALL::TimeStamp::isOlderThan

(

const PreciseTime &

time

)

const

Check the time stamp.

const PreciseTime& BALL::TimeStamp::operator=

(

const PreciseTime &

time

)

Assignment operator

bool BALL::TimeStamp::operator==

(

const TimeStamp &

stamp

)

const

Equality operator

bool BALL::TimeStamp::read

(

PersistenceManager &

pm

)

Persistent stream reading. This method reads the contents of a TimeStamp object from the persistent stream using the readPrimitive method of the PersistenceManager.

Parameters:

pm

the persistence manager

virtual void BALL::TimeStamp::stamp

(

const PreciseTime &

time = PreciseTime::ZERO

)

[virtual]

Update the time stamp. Store the value of time in the internal time stamp. If time is 0, use the current time (as given by PreciseTime::now ).

Parameters:

time

the new time stamp (default = PreciseTime::now )

void BALL::TimeStamp::write

(

PersistenceManager &

pm

)

const

Persistent stream writing. This method writes the contents of the TimeStamp objects to the persistent stream using the writePrimitive method of the PersistenceManager.

Parameters:

pm

the persistence manager
