Detailed Description

A SimpleClient class for client objects that manage their own lifetime on the heap.

HeapClients are instantiated on the heap and should be deleted by calling their doDelete() method. The doDelete() implementation starts a zero-length timer which does "delete this" when it expires, so it is safe to call doDelete() from within event callbacks.

This class automatically starts connecting after construction using a zero-length timer, so there is no need to call the base class's connect() method.

When the event loop delivers an event callback to a HeapClient and the HeapClient throws a std::exception back up to the event loop the event loop calls the HeapClient again via onException() causing the HeapClient to self-destruct. As a result, the client code can just throw an exception to terminate the connection and delete itself.

Member Function Documentation

void GNet::HeapClient::doDelete ( const std::string &  reason)

Calls onDelete() and then does a delayed "delete this".

Definition at line 63 of file gheapclient.cpp.

void GNet::HeapClient::doDeleteForExit ( )

A destructor method that may be called at program termination when the normal doDelete() mechanism has become unusable.
