The duration of time is 7 // specified at construction time. The Watchdog may be used many times by 8 // simply calling Arm() (to start timing) and Disarm() (to reset the timer). 9 // The Watchdog is typically used under a debugger, where the stack traces on 10 // other threads can be examined if/when the Watchdog alarms. 11 12 // Some watchdogs will be enabled or disabled via command line switches. To 13 // facilitate such code, an "enabled" argument for the constuctor can be used 14 // to permanently disable the watchdog. Disabled watchdogs don't even spawn 15 // a second thread, and their methods call (Arm() and Disarm()) return very 16 // quickly. 17 18 #ifndef BASE_THREADING_WATCHDOG_H_ 19 #define BASE_THREADING_WATCHDOG_H_ 20 #pragma once 21 22 #include <string> 23 24 #include "base/base_api.h" 25 #include "base/synchronization/condition_variable.h" 26 #include "base/synchronization/lock.h" 27 #include "base/threading/platform_thread.h" 28 #include "base/time.h" 29 30 namespace base { 31 32 class BASE_API Watchdog { 33 public: 34 // Constructor specifies how long the Watchdog will wait before alarming. 35 Watchdog(const TimeDelta& duration, 36 const std::string& thread_watched_name, 37 bool enabled); 38 virtual ~Watchdog(); 39 40 // Start timing, and alarm when time expires (unless we're disarm()ed.) 41 void Arm(); // Arm starting now. 42 void ArmSomeTimeDeltaAgo(const TimeDelta& time_delta); 43 void ArmAtStartTime(const TimeTicks start_time); 44 45 // Reset time, and do not set off the alarm. 46 void Disarm(); 47 48 // Alarm is called if the time expires after an Arm() without someone calling 49 // Disarm().
