As the names // suggest, OneShotTimer calls you back once after a time delay expires. // RepeatingTimer on the other hand calls you back periodically with the // prescribed time interval. // // OneShotTimer and RepeatingTimer both cancel the timer when they go out of // scope, which makes it easy to ensure that you do not get called when your // object has gone out of scope. Just instantiate a OneShotTimer or // RepeatingTimer as a member variable of the class for which you wish to // receive timer events. // // Sample RepeatingTimer usage: // // class MyClass { // public: // void StartDoingStuff() { // timer_.Start(TimeDelta::FromSeconds(1), this, &MyClass::DoStuff); // } // void StopDoingStuff() { // timer_.Stop(); // } // private: // void DoStuff() { // // This method is called every second to do stuff. // ... // } // base::RepeatingTimer<MyClass> timer_; // }; // // Both OneShotTimer and RepeatingTimer also support a Reset method, which // allows you to easily defer the timer event until the timer delay passes once // again. So, in the above example, if 0.5 seconds have already passed, // calling Reset on timer_ would postpone DoStuff by another 1 second. In // other words, Reset is shorthand for calling Stop and then Start again with // the same arguments. #ifndef BASE_TIMER_H_ #define BASE_TIMER_H_ #pragma once // IMPORTANT: If you change timer code, make sure that all tests (including // disabled ones) from timer_unittests.cc pass locally.
