Class Simulator.Printer

java.lang.Object
  avrora.sim.Simulator.Printer

Enclosing class:

Simulator

public class Simulator.Printer

extends java.lang.Object

The Simulator.Printer class is a printer that is tied to a specific Simulator instance. Being tied to this instance, it will always report the node ID and time before printing anything. This simple mechanism allows the output to be much cleaner to track the output of multiple nodes at once.

Field Summary

boolean

enabled The enabled field is true when this printer is enabled.

Method Summary

void	println(java.lang.String s) The println() method prints the node ID, the time, and a message to the console, synchronizing with other threads so that output is not interleaved.

Method Detail

println

public void println(java.lang.String s)

The println() method prints the node ID, the time, and a message to the console, synchronizing with other threads so that output is not interleaved. This method SHOULD ONLY BE CALLED WHEN enabled IS TRUE! This is done to prevent performance bugs created by string construction inside printing (and debugging code).

Parameters:

s - the string to print
