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.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Cancel()

void ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::Cancel ( const EventId id)
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
[in]idthe event to cancel

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 209 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

References m_simulator.

◆ Destroy()

void ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::Destroy ( )
virtual

Execute the events scheduled with ScheduleDestroy().

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 95 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

References m_simulator.

◆ DoDispose()

void ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::DoDispose ( void  )
protectedvirtual

Destructor implementation.

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

Subclasses are expected to implement their real destruction code in an overridden 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 77 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

References ns3::Object::DoDispose(), and m_simulator.

+ Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ GetContext()

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

Get the current simulation context.

The simulation context is the ns-3 notion of a Logical Process. Events in a single context should only modify state associated with that context. Events for objects in other contexts should be scheduled with ScheduleWithContext() to track the context switches. In other words, events in different contexts should be mutually thread safe, by not modify overlapping model state.

In circumstances where the context can't be determined, such as during object initialization, the enum value NO_CONTEXT should be used.

Returns
The current simulation context

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 227 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

References m_simulator.

◆ GetDelayLeft()

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

Get the remaining time until this event will execute.

Parameters
[in]idThe 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 197 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

References m_simulator.

◆ GetEventCount()

uint64_t ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::GetEventCount ( void  ) const
virtual

Get the number of events executed.

Returns
The total number of events executed.

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 233 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

References m_simulator.

◆ GetMaximumSimulationTime()

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

Get the maximum representable simulation time.

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 221 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

References m_simulator.

◆ GetSim()

Ptr<SimulatorImpl> ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::GetSim ( )
private

Get the simulator implementation.

Returns
a pointer to the simulator implementation

◆ GetSystemId()

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

Get the system id of this simulator.

The system id is the identifier for this simulator instance in a distributed simulation. For MPI this is the MPI rank.

Returns
The system id for this simulator.

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 108 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

References m_simulator.

◆ GetTypeId()

TypeId ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::GetTypeId ( void  )
static

◆ IsExpired()

bool ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::IsExpired ( const EventId id) const
virtual

Check if an event has already run or been cancelled.

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
[in]idThe event to test for expiration.
Returns
true if the event has expired, false otherwise.

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 215 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

References m_simulator.

◆ IsFinished()

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

Check if the simulation should finish.

Reasons to finish are because there are no more events lefts to be scheduled, or if simulation time has already reached the "stop time" (see Simulator::Stop()).

Returns
true if no more events or stop time reached.

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 114 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

References m_simulator.

◆ NotifyConstructionCompleted()

void ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::NotifyConstructionCompleted ( void  )
protectedvirtual

Notifier called once the ObjectBase is fully constructed.

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 88 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

References ns3::ObjectFactory::Create(), m_simulator, and m_simulatorImplFactory.

+ Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ Now()

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

Return the current simulation virtual time.

Returns
The current virtual time.

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 191 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

References m_simulator.

◆ Remove()

void ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::Remove ( const EventId id)
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
[in]idThe event to remove from the list of scheduled events.

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 203 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

References m_simulator.

◆ Run()

void ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::Run ( void  )
virtual

Run the simulation.

The simulation will run until one of:

  • No events are present anymore
  • The user called Simulator::Stop
  • The user called Simulator::Stop with a 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 120 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

◆ RunRealSimulator()

Time const &  delay,
EventImpl event

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

Set the Scheduler to be used to manage the event list.

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

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

References m_simulator.

◆ Stop() [1/2]

void ns3::VisualSimulatorImpl::Stop ( Time const &  delay)
virtual

Schedule the time delay until the Simulator should stop.

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
[in]delayThe stop time, relative to the current time.

Implements ns3::SimulatorImpl.

Definition at line 158 of file visual-simulator-impl.cc.

References m_simulator.

◆ Stop() [2/2]
