Detailed Description

Thread driven by (realtime safe) signals.

Use this to perform some task in a separate thread you want to 'drive' from a realtime (or otherwise) thread.

Member Function Documentation

Realtime safe.

References Raul::Semaphore::post().

_whipped()

virtual void Raul::Slave::_whipped ( )

protectedpure virtual

Worker method.

This is called once from this thread every time whip() is called. Implementations likely want to put a single (non loop) chunk of code here, e.g. to process an event.
