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_WATCHDOG_H__ 19 #define BASE_WATCHDOG_H__ 20 21 #include <string> 22 23 #include "base/condition_variable.h" 24 #include "base/lock.h" 25 #include "base/logging.h" 26 #include "base/platform_thread.h" 27 #include "base/time.h" 28 29 class Watchdog { 30 public: 31 // Constructor specifies how long the Watchdog will wait before alarming. 32 Watchdog(const base::TimeDelta& duration, 33 const std::string& thread_watched_name, 34 bool enabled); 35 virtual ~Watchdog(); 36 37 // Start timing, and alarm when time expires (unless we're disarm()ed.) 38 void Arm(); // Arm starting now. 39 void ArmSomeTimeDeltaAgo(const base::TimeDelta& time_delta); 40 void ArmAtStartTime(const base::TimeTicks start_time); 41 42 // Reset time, and do not set off the alarm. 43 void Disarm(); 44 45 // Alarm is called if the time expires after an Arm() without someone calling 46 // Disarm().
