Detailed Description

Class of objects that are capable of handling interrupts.

All objects to be assigned in Plugbox must be derived from this class.

Each inheriting class must define the virtual method Gate::trigger().

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

~Gate()

virtual Gate::~Gate ( )

inlinevirtual

Destructor.

Classes with virtual methods should always have a virtual destructor (which can be empty as well). In StuBS this will calm the compiler, on other systems this will guarantee that delete will free the memory for objects of the derived classes correctly.

Member Function Documentation

trigger()

virtual void Gate::trigger ( )

pure virtual

Device-specific interrupt handler.

This method is executed immediately after the interrupt occurs (asynchronously). Since it is implemented as a pure virtual method, it must be implemented by each derived classes.

Implemented in Mouse, Keyboard, and Panic.
