Member Function Documentation

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 PreciseTime &

time

)

const

Check the time stamp.

bool BALL::TimeStamp::isNewerThan

(

const TimeStamp &

stamp

)

const

Check the time stamp.

bool BALL::TimeStamp::isOlderThan

(

const PreciseTime &

time

)

const

Check the time stamp.

bool BALL::TimeStamp::isOlderThan

(

const TimeStamp &

stamp

)

const

Check the time stamp.

const PreciseTime& BALL::TimeStamp::operator=

const PreciseTime &

time

)

Assignment operator

bool BALL::TimeStamp::operator==

(

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

Member Data Documentation
