Detailed Description

Simple loop dectector for RoutingEvent.

The RoutingEventLoop can be roughly understood as a truncated histogram of the depth last (in the time meaning) greatest riped up elements.

The loop detector keep track of the depth TrackElement with the greatest processing count. TrackElement are just identified through the id of their associated AutoSegment. Each entry in the loop table contains:

• The id of the associated TrackSegment (Katabatic::AutoSegment).
• The count of times it has been processed
• The timestamp of the latest time it has been updated.

The table (implemented as vector<>) it kept sorted on the timestamp (decreasing). Whenever there is more than depth elements in the table, the oldest one are discarted (regardless of their count). Obviously, there are pathological cases into which a loop cannot be detected, but so far it has not happened so a more robust approach seems not necessary at this time.

Whenever the count of an element reaches countLimit, the looping flag is set. It will remains set unless the faulty element is manually removed.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

RoutingEventLoop()

RoutingEventLoop	(	size_t	depth = 10,
		int	countLimit = 20
	)

Construct a loop detector that handle depth differents segments and has a looping threshold of countLimit.

Member Function Documentation

isLooping()

bool isLooping ( ) const

inline

Returns: true if the loop threshold has been reached for at least one element.

getMaxCount()

int getMaxCount ( ) const

inline

The maximal count an element as reached so far.

Referenced by RoutingEvent::process().

getElements()

const std::vector< Element > & getElements ( ) const

inline

The complete table elements.

update()

void update

(

size_t

id

)

Update the loop, telling that element id has appreared one more time.

Referenced by RoutingEvent::process().

erase()

void erase

(

size_t

id

)

Remove the entry related to element id in the table. The state of the table is fully recomputed after the removal (looping flag & maximum count).

This method is used when a loop has been encountered, presumably on element id, and we want to continue. To avoid the loop detector yelling at each check, the associated TrackElement should be invalidated and it's reference removed from the table.
