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().

◆ 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.

◆ 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.

template< class Clock, class Duration > QDeadlineTimer::QDeadlineTimer	(	std::chrono::time_point< Clock, Duration >	deadline,

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.

template<class Rep , class Period >

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.

◆ 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.

◆ operator+ [3/4]

QDeadlineTimer QDeadlineTimer::operator+	(	qint64	msecs,
		QDeadlineTimer	dt )

friend

Returns a QDeadlineTimer object whose deadline is msecs later than the deadline stored in dt.

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

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

Returns a QDeadlineTimer object whose deadline is msecs before the deadline stored in dt.

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

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