Class TimeKey

java.lang.Object

cz.cuni.amis.pogamut.multi.utils.timekey.TimeKey

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable

public class TimeKey
extends Object
implements Comparable

the TimeKey class makes sure that for every integer time there is only one instance of the TimeKey object. The inner structure of active is implemented via a WeakHashMap. This means that if a process loses reference for the TimeKey object, it can be garbage collected.
