[edit] Definition
INT get_id ( <INT processTypeID> )
Returns a ProcessID of a process of the specified ProcessType. On the next call of get_id() in the same process and in the same frame, the next process will be returned of the given type. After a frame statement, get_id() is reset and will return the first process of the given processType. When there are no more processes of a given type, which have not been returned, it will return 0.
get_id(0) returns processes of any type.
[edit] Parameters
INT processTypeID | - The processTypeID of the processType to get the processes' processIDs of. |
[edit] Returns
INT : The processID of a process of the given processType.
0 | - There are no more processes of the given processType, which have not been returned. |
>0 | - The processID of a process of the given processType. |
[edit] Example
Program example; Begin signaltype(type Monkey,s_kill); End /** * Empty process */ Process Monkey() Begin End /** * Signals every process of type 't' the signal 'signal'. */ Function int signaltype(int t, int signal) Begin while( (x=get_id(t)) ) // while there is an unprocessed process left and store that in 'x' signal(x,signal); // signal the process with processID 'x'. end End // Of course, the very observant of you already noticed that signaltype(my_type,my_signal) // does the same thing as the function signal(my_type,my_signal), but this is just to // illustrate the workings. /** * Signals every process the signal 'signal'. */ Function int signalall(int signal) Begin while( (x=get_id(0)) ) // while there is an unprocessed process left and store that in 'x' signal(x,signal); // signal the process with processID 'x'. end End // get_id(0) returns a process of any type. This is a possible implementation of a // function which signals all existing processes. Note that this can be dangerous to use, // as in some cases you might want one or two processes to stay alive.
Used in example: signal()
