Detailed Description

Actor environment including scheduler, registry, and optional components such as a middleman.

Examples
dancing_kirby.cpp, dining_philosophers.cpp, and hello_world.cpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ actor_system()

caf::actor_system::actor_system ( actor_system_config cfg)
explicit
Warning
The system stores a reference to cfg, which means the config object must outlive the actor system.

Member Function Documentation

◆ assignable() [1/2]

bool caf::actor_system::assignable ( const mpi xs,
const mpi ys 
) const

Returns whether actor handles described by xs can be assigned to actor handles described by ys.

Attention
This feature is experimental.

◆ assignable() [2/2]

template<class T >
bool caf::actor_system::assignable ( const std::set< std::string > &  xs) const

Returns whether actor handles described by xs can be assigned to actor handles of type T.

Attention
This feature is experimental.

◆ middleman()

io::middleman & caf::actor_system::middleman ( )

Returns the middleman instance from the I/O module.

Exceptions
`std::logic_error`if module is not loaded.

◆ monitor()

void caf::actor_system::monitor ( const node_id node,
const actor_addr observer 
)

Send a node_down_msg to observer if this system loses connection to node.

Note
Calling this function n times causes the system to send node_down_msg n times to the observer. In order to not receive the messages, the observer must call demonitor n times.

◆ network_manager()

net::middleman & caf::actor_system::network_manager ( )

Returns the network manager (middleman) instance.

Exceptions
`std::logic_error`if module is not loaded.

◆ openssl_manager()

openssl::manager & caf::actor_system::openssl_manager ( ) const

Returns the manager instance from the OpenSSL module.

Exceptions
`std::logic_error`if module is not loaded.

◆ spawn() [1/3]

template<class Handle , class E = std::enable_if_t<is_handle_v<Handle>>>
expected< Handle > caf::actor_system::spawn ( const std::string &  name,
message  args,
execution_unit ctx = nullptr,
bool  check_interface = true,
const mpi expected_ifs = nullptr 
)

Returns a new actor with run-time type name, constructed with the arguments stored in args.

Attention
This feature is experimental.

◆ spawn() [2/3]

template<spawn_options Os = no_spawn_options, class F , class... Ts>
infer_handle_from_fun_t< F > caf::actor_system::spawn ( fun,
Ts &&...  xs 
)

Returns a new functor-based actor.

The first argument must be the functor, the remainder of xs... is used to invoke the functor. The behavior of spawn can be modified by setting Os, e.g., to opt-out of the cooperative scheduling.

◆ spawn() [3/3]

template<class C , spawn_options Os = no_spawn_options, class... Ts>
infer_handle_from_class_t< C > caf::actor_system::spawn ( Ts &&...  xs)

Returns a new actor of type C using xs... as constructor arguments.

The behavior of spawn can be modified by setting Os, e.g., to opt-out of the cooperative scheduling.

Parameters
xsConstructor arguments for C.
Examples
hello_world.cpp.

◆ spawn_class()

template<class C , spawn_options Os, class... Ts>
infer_handle_from_class_t< C > caf::actor_system::spawn_class ( actor_config cfg,
Ts &&...  xs 
)

Called by spawn when used to create a class-based actor to apply automatic conversions to xs before spawning the actor.

Should not be called by users of the library directly.

Parameters
cfgTo-be-filled config for the actor.
xsConstructor arguments for C.
