Detailed Description

\inmodule QtCore

The QDeadlineTimer class marks a deadline in the future.

Since: 5.8

\reentrant

\compares strong

The QDeadlineTimer class is usually used to calculate future deadlines and verify whether the deadline has expired. QDeadlineTimer can also be used for deadlines without expiration ("forever"). It forms a counterpart to QElapsedTimer, which calculates how much time has elapsed since QElapsedTimer::start() was called.

QDeadlineTimer provides a more convenient API compared to QElapsedTimer::hasExpired().

The typical use-case for the class is to create a QDeadlineTimer before the operation in question is started, and then use remainingTime() or hasExpired() to determine whether to continue trying the operation. QDeadlineTimer objects can be passed to functions being called to execute this operation so they know how long to still operate.

    void executeOperation(int msecs)
    {
        QDeadlineTimer deadline(msecs);
        do {
            if (readFromDevice(deadline.remainingTime()))
                break;
            waitForReadyRead(deadline);
        } while (!deadline.hasExpired());
    }

Many QDeadlineTimer functions deal with time out values, which all are measured in milliseconds. There are two special values, the same as many other Qt functions named {waitFor} or similar:

\list

0: no time left, expired
-1: infinite time left, timer never expires \endlist

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QDeadlineTimer() [1/6]

QDeadlineTimer::QDeadlineTimer ( )

constexprdefaultnoexcept

◆ QDeadlineTimer() [2/6]

QDeadlineTimer::QDeadlineTimer ( Qt::TimerType timerType )

inlineexplicitconstexprnoexcept

Constructs an expired QDeadlineTimer object.

For this object, remainingTime() will return 0. If timerType is not set, then the object will use the \l{Qt::CoarseTimer}{coarse} \l{QDeadlineTimer#Timer types}{timer type}.

The timer type timerType may be ignored, since the timer is already expired. Similarly, for optimization purposes, this function will not attempt to obtain the current time and will use a value known to be in the past. Therefore, deadline() may return an unexpected value and this object cannot be used in calculation of how long it is overdue. If that functionality is required, use QDeadlineTimer::current().

See also: hasExpired(), remainingTime(), Qt::TimerType, current()

◆ QDeadlineTimer() [3/6]

QDeadlineTimer::QDeadlineTimer	(	ForeverConstant	,
		Qt::TimerType	timerType = Qt::CoarseTimer )

inlineconstexprnoexcept

QDeadlineTimer objects created with ForeverConstant never expire.

For such objects, remainingTime() will return -1, deadline() will return the maximum value, and isForever() will return true.

The timer type timerType may be ignored, since the timer will never expire.

See also: ForeverConstant, hasExpired(), isForever(), remainingTime(), timerType()

Definition at line 31 of file qdeadlinetimer.h.

◆ QDeadlineTimer() [4/6]

QDeadlineTimer::QDeadlineTimer	(	qint64	msecs,
		Qt::TimerType	type = Qt::CoarseTimer )

explicitnoexcept

Constructs a QDeadlineTimer object with an expiry time of msecs msecs from the moment of the creation of this object, if msecs is positive.

If msecs is zero, this QDeadlineTimer will be marked as expired, causing remainingTime() to return zero and deadline() to return an indeterminate time point in the past. If msecs is negative, the timer will be set to never expire, causing remainingTime() to return -1 and deadline() to return the maximum value.

The QDeadlineTimer object will be constructed with the specified timer type.

For optimization purposes, if msecs is zero, this function may skip obtaining the current time and may instead use a value known to be in the past. If that happens, deadline() may return an unexpected value and this object cannot be used in calculation of how long it is overdue. If that functionality is required, use QDeadlineTimer::current() and add time to it.

Note: Prior to Qt 6.6, the only value that caused the timer to never expire was -1.

◆ QDeadlineTimer() [5/6]

template<class Clock, class Duration = typename Clock::duration>

QDeadlineTimer::QDeadlineTimer	(	std::chrono::time_point< Clock, Duration >	deadline,
		Qt::TimerType	type = Qt::CoarseTimer )

inline

Constructs a QDeadlineTimer object with a deadline at deadline time point, converting from the clock source {Clock} to Qt's internal clock source (see QElapsedTimer::clockType()).

If deadline is in the past, this QDeadlineTimer object is set to expired, whereas if deadline is equal to {Duration::max()}, then this object is set to never expire.

The QDeadlineTimer object will be constructed with the specified timer type.

See also: hasExpired(), isForever(), remainingTime(), setDeadline()

Definition at line 74 of file qdeadlinetimer.h.

◆ QDeadlineTimer() [6/6]

template<class Rep, class Period>

QDeadlineTimer::QDeadlineTimer	(	std::chrono::duration< Rep, Period >	remaining,
		Qt::TimerType	type = Qt::CoarseTimer )

inline

Constructs a QDeadlineTimer object with a remaining time of remaining.

If remaining is zero or negative, this QDeadlineTimer object will be mark as expired, whereas if remaining is equal to {duration::max()}, the object will be set to never expire.

The QDeadlineTimer object will be constructed with the specified timer type.

This constructor can be used with C++14's user-defined literals for time, such as in:

using namespace std::chrono_literals;

QDeadlineTimer deadline(250ms);

For optimization purposes, if remaining is zero or negative, this function may skip obtaining the current time and may instead use a value known to be in the past. If that happens, deadline() may return an unexpected value and this object cannot be used in calculation of how long it is overdue. If that functionality is required, use QDeadlineTimer::current() and add time to it.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addNSecs()

QDeadlineTimer QDeadlineTimer::addNSecs	(	QDeadlineTimer	dt,
		qint64	nsecs )

staticnoexcept

Returns a QDeadlineTimer object whose deadline is extended from dt's deadline by nsecs nanoseconds.

If dt was set to never expire, this function returns a QDeadlineTimer that will not expire either.

Note: if dt was created as expired, its deadline is indeterminate and adding an amount of time may or may not cause it to become unexpired.

Definition at line 565 of file qdeadlinetimer.cpp.

◆ current()

QDeadlineTimer QDeadlineTimer::current ( Qt::TimerType timerType = Qt::CoarseTimer )

staticnoexcept

Returns a QDeadlineTimer that is expired but is guaranteed to contain the current time.

Objects created by this function can participate in the calculation of how long a timer is overdue, using the deadline() function.

The QDeadlineTimer object will be constructed with the specified timerType.

Definition at line 583 of file qdeadlinetimer.cpp.

◆ deadline() [1/2]

template<class Clock, class Duration>

std::chrono::time_point< Clock, Duration > QDeadlineTimer::deadline ( ) const

Definition at line 150 of file qdeadlinetimer.h.

◆ deadline() [2/2]

qint64 QDeadlineTimer::deadline ( ) const

noexcept

Returns the absolute time point for the deadline stored in QDeadlineTimer object, calculated in milliseconds relative to the reference clock, the same as QElapsedTimer::msecsSinceReference().

The value will be in the past if this QDeadlineTimer has expired.

If this QDeadlineTimer never expires, this function returns {std::numeric_limits<qint64>::max()}.

This function can be used to calculate the amount of time a timer is overdue, by subtracting QDeadlineTimer::current() or QElapsedTimer::msecsSinceReference(), as in the following example:

    qint64 realTimeLeft = deadline.deadline();
    if (realTimeLeft != (std::numeric_limits<qint64>::max)()) {
        realTimeLeft -= QDeadlineTimer::current().deadline();
        // or:
        //QElapsedTimer timer;
        //timer.start();
        //realTimeLeft -= timer.msecsSinceReference();
    }

Note: Timers that were created as expired have an indetermine time point in the past as their deadline, so the above calculation may not work.

See also: remainingTime(), deadlineNSecs(), setDeadline()

Definition at line 475 of file qdeadlinetimer.cpp.

◆ deadlineNSecs()

qint64 QDeadlineTimer::deadlineNSecs ( ) const

noexcept

Returns the absolute time point for the deadline stored in QDeadlineTimer object, calculated in nanoseconds relative to the reference clock, the same as QElapsedTimer::msecsSinceReference().

The value will be in the past if this QDeadlineTimer has expired.

If this QDeadlineTimer never expires or the number of nanoseconds until the deadline can't be accommodated in the return type, this function returns {std::numeric_limits<qint64>::max()}.

This function can be used to calculate the amount of time a timer is overdue, by subtracting QDeadlineTimer::current(), as in the following example:

    qint64 realTimeLeft = deadline.deadlineNSecs();
    if (realTimeLeft != std::numeric_limits<qint64>::max())
        realTimeLeft -= QDeadlineTimer::current().deadlineNSecs();

Note: Timers that were created as expired have an indetermine time point in the past as their deadline, so the above calculation may not work.

See also: remainingTime(), deadlineNSecs()

Definition at line 507 of file qdeadlinetimer.cpp.

◆ hasExpired()

bool QDeadlineTimer::hasExpired ( ) const

noexcept

Returns true if this QDeadlineTimer object has expired, false if there remains time left.

For objects that have expired, remainingTime() will return zero and deadline() will return a time point in the past.

QDeadlineTimer objects created with the \l {ForeverConstant} never expire and this function always returns false for them.

See also: isForever(), remainingTime()

Definition at line 363 of file qdeadlinetimer.cpp.

◆ isForever()

bool QDeadlineTimer::isForever ( ) const

inlineconstexprnoexcept

Returns true if this QDeadlineTimer object never expires, false otherwise.

For timers that never expire, remainingTime() always returns -1 and deadline() returns the maximum value.

See also: ForeverConstant, hasExpired(), remainingTime()

Definition at line 38 of file qdeadlinetimer.h.

◆ operator+=()

QDeadlineTimer & QDeadlineTimer::operator+= ( qint64 msecs )

inline

Extends this QDeadlineTimer object by msecs milliseconds and returns itself.

If this object is set to never expire, this function does nothing.

To add times of precision greater than 1 millisecond, use addNSecs().

Definition at line 68 of file qdeadlinetimer.h.

◆ operator-=()

QDeadlineTimer & QDeadlineTimer::operator-= ( qint64 msecs )

inline

Shortens this QDeadlineTimer object by msecs milliseconds and returns itself.

If this object is set to never expire, this function does nothing.

To subtract times of precision greater than 1 millisecond, use addNSecs().

Definition at line 70 of file qdeadlinetimer.h.

◆ operator=() [1/2]

template<class Rep, class Period>

QDeadlineTimer & QDeadlineTimer::operator= ( std::chrono::duration< Rep, Period > remaining )

inline

Sets this deadline timer to the remaining time.

Definition at line 94 of file qdeadlinetimer.h.

◆ operator=() [2/2]

template<class Clock, class Duration = typename Clock::duration>

QDeadlineTimer & QDeadlineTimer::operator= ( std::chrono::time_point< Clock, Duration > deadline_ )

inline

Assigns deadline_ to this deadline timer.

Definition at line 78 of file qdeadlinetimer.h.

◆ remainingTime()

qint64 QDeadlineTimer::remainingTime ( ) const

noexcept

Returns the remaining time in this QDeadlineTimer object in milliseconds.

If the timer has already expired, this function will return zero and it is not possible to obtain the amount of time overdue with this function (to do that, see deadline()). If the timer was set to never expire, this function returns -1.

This function is suitable for use in Qt APIs that take a millisecond timeout, such as the many \l QIODevice waitFor functions or the timed lock functions in \l QMutex, \l QWaitCondition, \l QSemaphore, or \l QReadWriteLock. For example:

mutex.tryLock(deadline.remainingTime());

Definition at line 107 of file qdeadlinetimer.h.

◆ remainingTimeNSecs()

qint64 QDeadlineTimer::remainingTimeNSecs ( ) const

noexcept

Returns the remaining time in this QDeadlineTimer object in nanoseconds.

If the timer has already expired, this function will return zero and it is not possible to obtain the amount of time overdue with this function. If the timer was set to never expire, this function returns -1.

◆ setDeadline() [1/2]

void QDeadlineTimer::setDeadline	(	qint64	msecs,
		Qt::TimerType	timerType = Qt::CoarseTimer )

noexcept

Sets the deadline for this QDeadlineTimer object to be the msecs absolute time point, counted in milliseconds since the reference clock (the same as QElapsedTimer::msecsSinceReference()), and the timer type to timerType.

If the value is in the past, this QDeadlineTimer will be marked as expired.

If msecs is {std::numeric_limits<qint64>::max()} or the deadline is beyond a representable point in the future, this QDeadlineTimer will be set to never expire.

◆ setDeadline() [2/2]

template<class Clock, class Duration>

void QDeadlineTimer::setDeadline	(	std::chrono::time_point< Clock, Duration >	deadline,
		Qt::TimerType	type = Qt::CoarseTimer )

Sets this QDeadlineTimer to the deadline marked by deadline time point, converting from the clock source {Clock} to Qt's internal clock source (see QElapsedTimer::clockType()).

If deadline is in the past, this QDeadlineTimer object is set to expired, whereas if deadline is equal to {Duration::max()}, then this object is set to never expire.

The timer type for this QDeadlineTimer object will be set to the specified type.

		Qt::TimerType	timerType = Qt::CoarseTimer )

noexcept

Sets the deadline for this QDeadlineTimer object to be secs seconds and nsecs nanoseconds since the reference clock epoch (the same as QElapsedTimer::msecsSinceReference()), and the timer type to timerType.

If the value is in the past, this QDeadlineTimer will be marked as expired.

If secs or nsecs is {std::numeric_limits<qint64>::max()}, this QDeadlineTimer will be set to never expire. If nsecs is more than 1 billion nanoseconds (1 second), then secs will be adjusted accordingly.

See also: setDeadline(), deadline(), deadlineNSecs(), setRemainingTime()

Definition at line 551 of file qdeadlinetimer.cpp.

◆ setPreciseRemainingTime()

void QDeadlineTimer::setPreciseRemainingTime	(	qint64	secs,
		qint64	nsecs = 0,
		Qt::TimerType	timerType = Qt::CoarseTimer )

noexcept

Sets the remaining time for this QDeadlineTimer object to secs seconds plus nsecs nanoseconds from now, if secs has a positive value.

If secs is negative, this QDeadlineTimer will be set it to never expire (this behavior does not apply to nsecs). If both parameters are zero, this QDeadlineTimer will be marked as expired.

For optimization purposes, if both secs and nsecs are zero, this function may skip obtaining the current time and may instead use a value known to be in the past. If that happens, deadline() may return an unexpected value and this object cannot be used in calculation of how long it is overdue. If that functionality is required, use QDeadlineTimer::current() and add time to it.

The timer type for this QDeadlineTimer object will be set to the specified timerType.

Note: Prior to Qt 6.6, the only condition that caused the timer to never expire was when secs was -1.

◆ setRemainingTime() [1/2]

void QDeadlineTimer::setRemainingTime	(	qint64	msecs,
		Qt::TimerType	timerType = Qt::CoarseTimer )

noexcept

Sets the remaining time for this QDeadlineTimer object to msecs milliseconds from now, if msecs has a positive value.

If msecs is zero, this QDeadlineTimer object will be marked as expired, whereas a negative value will set it to never expire.

For optimization purposes, if msecs is zero, this function may skip obtaining the current time and may instead use a value known to be in the past. If that happens, deadline() may return an unexpected value and this object cannot be used in calculation of how long it is overdue.

inline

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Sets the remaining time for this QDeadlineTimer object to remaining. If remaining is zero or negative, this QDeadlineTimer object will be mark as expired, whereas if remaining is equal to {duration::max()}, the object will be set to never expire.

The timer type for this QDeadlineTimer object will be set to the specified type.

This function can be used with C++14's user-defined literals for time, such as in:

using namespace std::chrono_literals;

deadline.setRemainingTime(250ms);

Note: Qt detects the necessary C++14 compiler support by way of the feature test recommendations from \l{https://isocpp.org/std/standing-documents/sd-6-sg10-feature-test-recommendations} {C++ Committee's Standing Document 6}.

◆ setTimerType()

void QDeadlineTimer::setTimerType ( Qt::TimerType timerType )

Changes the timer type for this object to timerType.

The behavior for each possible value of timerType is operating-system dependent. Qt::PreciseTimer will use the most precise timer that Qt can find, with resolution of 1 millisecond or better, whereas QDeadlineTimer will try to use a more coarse timer for Qt::CoarseTimer and Qt::VeryCoarseTimer.
