The design of the }π{ timer system is adapted from the following magazine article: }π{ }π{ Jones S., A High-Performance Lightweight Timer Package, Tech }π{ Specialist, Vol. 2, No. 1, Jan 1991, pp 17-27. }π{ }π{ Most of Jones' design has been copied, although this implementation is }π{ in Turbo Pascal rather than MASM. By default, this unit provides 10 }π{ timers, although this can be increased by increasing the value of }π{ MAX_TIMER and re-compiling. }π{ }π{ Timers are referenced by "handles" i.e. small integers. These are }π{ actually indexes into the timer array. To obtain a handle one must }π{ ALLOCATE a timer. The Allocate function also requires the address of }π{ a routine to execute when the timer expires as well as a user context }π{ variable. The timer function must be compiled as a FAR routine. The }π{ user context variable is a 16 bit word of data that can be used for any}π{ application specific purpose. It is passed to the timer routine when }π{ the timer expires. This is useful if a common timer routine is used }π{ for multiple timers. It allows the common timer routine to determine }π{ which timer expired and take appropriate action. }π{ }π{ Once a timer is allocated, it must be STARTED. The StartTimer }π{ procedure requires the timer handle and a timer running time. The }π{ timer running timer is passed as a RELATIVE number of MILLISECONDS i.e.}π{ the number of milliseconds from now when the timer should expire. }π{ }π{ A timer can be stopped before it expires with StopTimer which just }π{ requires the timer handle. There is the possibility that the StopTimer}π{ routine could be interrupted by a clock tick and the expiration routine}π{ could run before the StopTimer procedure actually stops the timer. }π{ It's up to you to guard against this. }π{ }π{ Finally, an allocated timer can be deallocated with DeallocateTimer }π{========================================================================}ππINTERFACEππusesπ Dos;ππtypeπ UserProc = procedure(context : word);πππfunction AllocateTimer(UserContext : word; UserRtn : UserProc) : integer;πprocedure StartTimer(handle : integer; rel_timeout : longint);πprocedure StopTimer(handle : integer);πprocedure DeallocateTimer(handle : integer);ππ{========================================================================}π{ IMPLEMENTATION SECTION }π{========================================================================}ππIMPLEMENTATIONππconstπ MAX_TIMER = 10; {Total number of timers}π MILLISECS_PER_TICK = 55; {clock tick interval}π TIMER_ALLOCATED = 1; {bits in the timer flags word}π TIMER_RUNNING = 2;ππtypeπ timer_rec = record {Timer descriptor record}π timeout : longint; {Timeout.
