Detailed Description

A replacement simulator that starts the visualizer.

To use this class, run any ns-3 simulation with the command-line argument –SimulatorImplementationType=ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl. This causes the visualizer (PyViz) to start automatically.

Doxygen introspection did not find any typical Config paths.

Attributes

• SimulatorImplFactory: Factory for the underlying simulator implementation used by the visualizer.
  • Set with class: ObjectFactoryValue
  • Underlying type: ObjectFactory
  • Initial value: ns3::DefaultSimulatorImpl[]
  • Flags: construct write read

No TraceSources are defined for this type.

Member Function Documentation

void ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::Cancel ( const EventId &  ev )

virtual

Set the cancel bit on this event: the event's associated function will not be invoked when it expires. This method has the same visible effect as the ns3::Simulator::Remove method but its algorithmic complexity is much lower: it has O(1) complexity. This method has the exact same semantics as ns3::EventId::Cancel. Note that it is not possible to cancel events which were scheduled for the "destroy" time. Doing so will result in a program error (crash).

Parameters

ev	the event to cancel

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 196 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

void ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::Destroy ( )

virtual

This method is typically invoked at the end of a simulation to avoid false-positive reports by a leak checker. After this method has been invoked, it is actually possible to restart a new simulation with a set of calls to Simulator::Run, Simulator::Schedule and Simulator::ScheduleWithContext.

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 88 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

void ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::DoDispose ( void  )

protectedvirtual

This method is called by Object::Dispose or by the object's destructor, whichever comes first.

Subclasses are expected to implement their real destruction code in an overriden version of this method and chain up to their parent's implementation once they are done. i.e., for simplicity, the destructor of every subclass should be empty and its content should be moved to the associated DoDispose method.

It is safe to call GetObject from within this method.

Reimplemented from ns3::Object.

Definition at line 70 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

References ns3::Object::DoDispose().

uint32_t ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::GetContext ( void  ) const

virtual

Returns

the current simulation context

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 214 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

Time ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::GetDelayLeft ( const EventId &  id ) const

virtual

Parameters

id	the event id to analyse

Returns

the delay left until the input event id expires. if the event is not running, this method returns zero.

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 184 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

Time ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::GetMaximumSimulationTime ( void  ) const

virtual

Returns

the maximum simulation time at which an event can be scheduled.

The returned value will always be bigger than or equal to Simulator::Now.

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 208 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

uint32_t ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::GetSystemId ( void  ) const

virtual

Returns

the system id for this simulator; used for MPI or other distributed simulations

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 101 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

bool ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::IsExpired ( const EventId &  ev ) const

virtual

This method has O(1) complexity. Note that it is not possible to test for the expiration of events which were scheduled for the "destroy" time. Doing so will result in a program error (crash). An event is said to "expire" when it starts being scheduled which means that if the code executed by the event calls this function, it will get true.

Parameters

ev	the event to test for expiration

Returns

true if the event has expired, false otherwise.

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 202 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

bool ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::IsFinished ( void  ) const

virtual

If there are no more events lefts to be scheduled, or if simulation time has already reached the "stop time" (see Simulator::Stop()), return true. Return false otherwise.

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 107 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

void ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::NotifyConstructionCompleted ( void  )

protectedvirtual

This method is invoked once all member attributes have been initialized. Subclasses can override this method to be notified of this event but if they do this, they must chain up to their parent's NotifyConstructionCompleted method.

Reimplemented from ns3::ObjectBase.

Definition at line 81 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

References ns3::ObjectFactory::Create().

Time ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::Now ( void  ) const

virtual

Return the "current simulation time".

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 178 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

void ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::Remove ( const EventId &  ev )

virtual

Remove an event from the event list. This method has the same visible effect as the ns3::EventId::Cancel method but its algorithmic complexity is much higher: it has often O(log(n)) complexity, sometimes O(n), sometimes worse. Note that it is not possible to remove events which were scheduled for the "destroy" time. Doing so will result in a program error (crash).

Parameters

ev	the event to remove from the list of scheduled events.

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 190 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

void ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::Run ( void  )

virtual

Run the simulation until one of:

• no events are present anymore
• the user called Simulator::Stop
• the user called Simulator::Stop with stop time and the expiration time of the next event to be processed is greater than or equal to the stop time.

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 113 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

EventId ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::Schedule ( Time const &  time, EventImpl *  event  )

virtual

Parameters

time	delay until the event expires
event	the event to schedule

Returns

a unique identifier for the newly-scheduled event.

This method will be typically used by language bindings to delegate events to their own subclass of the EventImpl base class.

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 154 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

EventId ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::ScheduleDestroy ( EventImpl *  event )

virtual

Parameters

event

the event to schedule

Returns

a unique identifier for the newly-scheduled event.

This method will be typically used by language bindings to delegate events to their own subclass of the EventImpl base class.

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 172 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

EventId ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::ScheduleNow ( EventImpl *  event )

virtual

Parameters

event

the event to schedule

Returns

a unique identifier for the newly-scheduled event.

This method will be typically used by language bindings to delegate events to their own subclass of the EventImpl base class.

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 166 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

void ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::ScheduleWithContext ( uint32_t  context, Time const &  time, EventImpl *  event  )

virtual

Parameters

time	delay until the event expires
context	event context
event	the event to schedule

Returns

a unique identifier for the newly-scheduled event.

This method will be typically used by language bindings to delegate events to their own subclass of the EventImpl base class.

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 160 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

void ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::SetScheduler ( ObjectFactory  schedulerFactory )

virtual

Parameters

schedulerFactory

a new event scheduler factory

The event scheduler can be set at any time: the events scheduled in the previous scheduler will be transfered to the new scheduler before we start to use it.

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 94 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

void ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::Stop ( void  )

virtual

If an event invokes this method, it will be the last event scheduled by the Simulator::Run method before returning to the caller.

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 139 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

void ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::Stop ( Time const &  time )

virtual

Force the Simulator::Run method to return to the caller when the expiration time of the next event to be processed is greater than or equal to the stop time. The stop time is relative to the current simulation time.

Parameters

time	the stop time, relative to the current time.

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.
