TTask+

class

继承TNamed

Base class for recursive execution of tasks.

TTask is a base class that can be used to build a complex tree of Tasks. Each TTask derived class may contain other TTasks that can be executed recursively, such that a complex program can be dynamically built and executed by invoking the services of the top level Task or one of its subtasks.

Use the TTask::Add function to add a subtask to an existing TTask. To execute a TTask, one calls the ExecuteTask function. ExecuteTask will call recursively:

• the TTask::Exec function of the derived class

• TTask::ExecuteTasks to execute for each task the list of its subtasks.

If the top level task (see example below) is added to the list of Root browsable objects, the tree of tasks can be visualized by the Root browser. The browser can be used to start a task, set break points at the beginning of a task or when the task has completed. At a breakpoint, data structures generated by the execution up this point may be inspected asynchronously and then the execution can be resumed by selecting the “Continue” function of a task.

A Task may be active or inactive (controlled by TTask::SetActive). When a task is not active, its sub tasks are not executed.

A TTask tree may be made persistent, saving the status of all the tasks.
