Well, to define a timer I used instructions:
http://www.cubinlab.ee.unimelb.edu.au/~jrid/Docs/Manuel-NS2/node105.html
like this:
class MyTimer : public TimerHandler {
public:
MyTimer(MyAgentClass *a) : TimerHandler() { a_ = a; }
virtual double expire(Event *e);
protected:
MyAgentClass *a_;
};
Then define expire:
MyTimer::expire(Event *e)
{
// do the work
// return TIMER_HANDLED; // =\> do not reschedule timer
// return delay; // =\> reschedule timer after delay
}
However, I want to change some variables of my Agent from inside my timer,
and whenever I change them, this changes do not take effect outside the
timer. For example, suppose I have a boolean variable called
beTentativeHead in my agent, and before entering the timer::expire, it was
false.
If I try to set it true from inside timer::expire with :
a_->beTentativeHead=true, it will remain true inside timer::expire, but if
I try to access this variable inside my Agent, its value remains as the
old false.
Any idea of how should I proceed to solve this? I tried using a double
pointer to my agent, even though I thought it was not necessary, and it
did not work very well, anyway.
Thanks in advance,
