Package org.jcsp.lang

Class AltingChannelInputWrapper<T>

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ChannelInput<T>, Poisonable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    FilteredAltingChannelInput, NetAltingChannelInput, NetAltingChannelInput

    public class AltingChannelInputWrapper<T>
    extends AltingChannelInput<T>
    Deprecated.
    There is no longer any need to use this class, after the 1.1 class reorganisation. Note that usually you do not need the absolute guarantee that this class provides - you can usually just cast the channel to an AltingChannelInput, which prevents you from accidentally writing to the channel. This class mainly exists for use by some of the org.jcsp.net classes, where the absolute guarantee that you cannot write to it is important.
    This class wraps an ALTable channel so that only the reading part is available to the caller. Writes are impossible unless you subclass this (and use getChannel()) or keep a reference to the original channel.

        public void poison​(int strength)
        Deprecated.
        Description copied from interface: Poisonable
        This injects poison into the channel. If the channel was not explicitly constructed to be poisonable or if the strength of poison is not greater than the channel immunity level, the poison will have no effect.
        Parameters:
        strength - the strength of the poison (must be >= 0).
