Class Timer

To use this class, you need to put #define _pthread before your #include "ovo.h"
And also, use g++ yourCode.cpp -std=c++14 -pthread to compile

---

Timer.setTimeout()

This can let your function be executed after certain time.

Params:

• auto function Your function. Lambda Expression is allowed!
• int delay Time to delay in milliseconds.

Example

#include <iostream>

#define _pthread

#include "ovo.h"

using namespace std;

void display(){
    cout << "Hey.. After 1s." << endl;
}

int main()
{
    ovo::Timer t = ovo::Timer();
    t.setTimeout(display, 1000); 

    while (1); //Keep the main thread never stop
    return 0;
}

This will get the following result. (Use Ctrl+C to interrupt)

Hey.. After 1s.

---

Timer.setInterval()

This can let your function be executed repetitively with certain time.

Params:

• auto function Your function. Lambda Expression is allowed!
• int delay Time for every interval in milliseconds.

Example

#include <iostream>

#define _pthread

#include "ovo.h"

using namespace std;

void display(){
    cout << "Hey.. " << endl;
}

int main()
{
    ovo::Timer t = ovo::Timer();
    t.setInterval(display, 1000); 

    while (1); //Keep the main thread never stop
    return 0;
}

This will get the following result. (Use Ctrl+C to interrupt)

Hey..
Hey..
Hey..
.

---

Timer.stop()

This can be used to stop a Timer.

Example

#include <iostream>

#define _pthread

#include "ovo.h"

using namespace std;

void display(){
    cout << "Hey.. " << endl;
}

int main()
{
    ovo::Timer t = ovo::Timer();
    t.setInterval(display, 1000);

    t.setTimeout([&]() {
        cout << "Hey.. After 5.6s. I will stop the timer!" << endl;
        t.stop();
    }, 5600); 

    while (1); //Keep the main thread never stop
    return 0;
}

This will get the following result. (Use Ctrl+C to interrupt)

Hey..
Hey..
Hey..
Hey..
Hey..
Hey.. After 5.6s. I will stop the timer
