signals

A Signals and Slots implementation using C++11

Basic Usage:

#include<signals.hpp>

//create a signal of type double(std::vector<double> const&)
signals::signal_t<double(std::vector<double> const&)> sig;

//connect slots and get the slot ids
auto&& id = signals::connect(sig,[](std::vector<double> const& v){
    return std::accumulate(v.begin(),v.end(),0);
});
auto&& id2 = signals::connect(sig,[](std::vector<double> const& v){
    return std::accumulate(v.begin(),v.end(),1,std::multiplies<double>{});
});
//data to be emitted
std::vector<double> v = {1,2,3,4,5};

//call all slots with data v
auto&& em = signals::emit(sig,v);
//get result of emit
auto&& res = signals::result(em);
//print all
for(auto&& r: res){
    std::cout<<r<<std::endl;
}

Access a result from a specific slot:

//get the result of a specific slot by using its id
auto&& slot_id1_result = signals::result(id,em);
std::cout<<slot_id1_result<<std::endl;

Emit Asynchronously with a thread pool:

//a thread pool. see: thread_pool.hpp
thread_pool pool;
//call emit async using a thread pool
auto&& em2 = signals::emit(sig,pool,v);

//get results, when using pool this will wait on the futures provided by the pool for each emit
auto&& res2 = signals::result(em2);

//print
for(auto&& r: res2){
    std::cout<<r<<std::endl;
}
