Constructor Detail

PtolemyThread

public PtolemyThread()

Construct a new PtolemyThread object. This constructor has the same effect as PtolemyThread(null, null, generatedName), where generatedName is a newly generated name. Automatically generated names are of the form "Thread-"+n, where n is an integer.

PtolemyThread

public PtolemyThread(java.lang.Runnable target)

Construct a new PtolemyThread object. This constructor has the same effect as PtolemyThread(null, target, generatedName), where generatedName is a newly generated name. Automatically generated names are of the form "Thread-"+n, where n is an integer.

Parameters:

target - The object whose run method is called.

PtolemyThread

public PtolemyThread(java.lang.Runnable target,
                     java.lang.String name)

Construct a new PtolemyThread object. This constructor has the same effect as PtolemyThread(null, target, name)

Parameters:

target - The object whose run method is called.

name - The name of the new thread.

PtolemyThread

public PtolemyThread(java.lang.String name)

Construct a new PtolemyThread object. This constructor has the same effect as PtolemyThread(null, null, name)

Parameters:

name - The name of the new thread.

PtolemyThread

public PtolemyThread(java.lang.ThreadGroup group,
                     java.lang.Runnable target)

Construct a new PtolemyThread object. This constructor has the same effect as PtolemyThread(group, target, generatedName), where generatedName is a newly generated name. Automatically generated names are of the form "Thread-"+n, where n is an integer.

Parameters:

group - The thread group

target - The object whose run method is called.

PtolemyThread

public PtolemyThread(java.lang.ThreadGroup group,
                     java.lang.Runnable target,
                     java.lang.String name)

Construct a new PtolemyThread object so that it has target as its run object, has the specified name as its name, and belongs to the thread group referred to by group.

Parameters:

group - The thread group.

target - The object whose run method is called.

name - The name of the new thread.

Throws:

java.lang.SecurityException - If the superclass constructor throws it.

PtolemyThread

public PtolemyThread(java.lang.ThreadGroup group,
                     java.lang.String name)

Construct a new PtolemyThread object. This constructor has the same effect as PtolemyThread(group, null, name).

Parameters:

group - The thread group.

name - The name of the new thread.

Method Detail

addDebugListener

public void addDebugListener(DebugListener listener)

Append a listener to the current set of debug listeners. If the listener is already in the set, do not add it again.

Specified by:

addDebugListener in interface Debuggable

Parameters:

listener - The listener to which to send debug messages.

Since:

Ptolemy II 2.3

See Also:

removeDebugListener(DebugListener)

removeDebugListener

public void removeDebugListener(DebugListener listener)

Unregister a debug listener. If the specified listener has not been previously registered, then do nothing.

Specified by:

removeDebugListener in interface Debuggable

Parameters:

listener - The listener to remove from the list of listeners to which debug messages are sent.

Since:

Ptolemy II 2.3

See Also:

addDebugListener(DebugListener)

_debug

protected final void _debug(DebugEvent event)

Send a debug event to all debug listeners that have registered.

Parameters:

event - The event.

Since:

Ptolemy II 2.3

_debug

protected final void _debug(java.lang.String message)

Send a debug message to all debug listeners that have registered. By convention, messages should not include a newline at the end. The newline will be added by the listener, if appropriate. Note that using this method could be fairly expensive if the message is constructed from parts, and that this expense will be incurred regardless of whether there are actually any debug listeners. Thus, you should avoid, if possible, constructing the message from parts.

Parameters:

message - The message.

Since:

Ptolemy II 2.3
