Detailed Description

Interface for work executed once per game loop cycle.

Implementations must be non-blocking and must not allocate heap memory or perform I/O on the calling thread. Any async work (e.g. pushing data to a WebSocket) must be handed off to another thread via a lock-free channel.

Tasks are registered with GameLoop::addTask() before run() is called and are owned by the caller (the composition root). GameLoop holds non-owning pointers, so a task must outlive every call to run().

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

~CyclicTask()

virtual CyclicTask::~CyclicTask ( )

virtualdefault

Virtual destructor.

Member Function Documentation

execute()

virtual void CyclicTask::execute ( const CycleContext &  ctx )

pure virtual

Called once per cycle, after process data has been exchanged and device parameters updated.

Must return before the next cycle deadline. Blocking here stalls the entire RT loop.

Parameters

ctx	Per-cycle timing context (grid index + skipped count). Tasks that act only on the freshest state may ignore it.

Implemented in ProcessDataCyclicTask.
