The * timeline starts running from beat 0 at the initial tempo when * constructed. The timeline always advances at a speed defined by * its current tempo, even if transport is stopped. Synchronizing to the * transport start/stop state of Link is optional for every peer. * The transport start/stop state is only shared with other peers when * start/stop synchronization is enabled. * * A Link instance is initially disabled after construction, which * means that it will not communicate on the network. Once enabled, * a Link instance initiates network communication in an effort to * discover other peers. When peers are discovered, they immediately * become part of a shared Link session. * * Each method of the Link type documents its thread-safety and * realtime-safety properties. When a method is marked thread-safe, * it means it is safe to call from multiple threads * concurrently. When a method is marked realtime-safe, it means that * it does not block and is appropriate for use in the thread that * performs audio IO. * * Link provides one session state capture/commit method pair for use * in the audio thread and one for all other application contexts. In * general, modifying the session state should be done in the audio * thread for the most accurate timing results. The ability to modify * the session state from application threads should only be used in * cases where an application's audio thread is not actively running * or if it doesn't generate audio at all. Modifying the Link session * state from both the audio thread and an application thread * concurrently is not advised and will potentially lead to unexpected * behavior. */ class Link { public: using Clock = link::platform::Clock; class SessionState; /*! @brief Construct with an initial tempo. */ Link(double bpm); /*! @brief Link instances cannot be copied or moved */ Link(const Link&) = delete; Link& operator=(const Link&) = delete; Link(Link&&) = delete; Link& operator=(Link&&) = delete; /*! @brief Is Link currently enabled? * Thread-safe: yes * Realtime-safe: yes */ bool isEnabled() const; /*! @brief Enable/disable Link. * Thread-safe: yes * Realtime-safe: no */ void enable(bool bEnable); /*! @brief: Is start/stop synchronization enabled? * Thread-safe: yes * Realtime-safe: no */ bool isStartStopSyncEnabled() const; /*! @brief: Enable start/stop synchronization. * Thread-safe: yes * Realtime-safe: no */ void enableStartStopSync(bool bEnable); /*! @brief How many peers are currently connected in a Link session? * Thread-safe: yes * Realtime-safe: yes */ std::size_t numPeers() const; /*! @brief Register a callback to be notified when the number of * peers in the Link session changes. * Thread-safe: yes * Realtime-safe: no * * @discussion The callback is invoked on a Link-managed thread. * * @param callback The callback signature is: * void (std::size_t numPeers) */ template void setNumPeersCallback(Callback callback); /*! @brief Register a callback to be notified when the session * tempo changes. * Thread-safe: yes * Realtime-safe: no * * @discussion The callback is invoked on a Link-managed thread. * * @param callback The callback signature is: void (double bpm) */ template void setTempoCallback(Callback callback); /*! brief: Register a callback to be notified when the state of * start/stop isPlaying changes. * Thread-safe: yes * Realtime-safe: no * * @discussion The callback is invoked on a Link-managed thread. * * @param callback The callback signature is: * void (bool isPlaying) */ template void setStartStopCallback(Callback callback); /*! @brief The clock used by Link. * Thread-safe: yes * Realtime-safe: yes * * @discussion The Clock type is a platform-dependent * representation of the system clock.
