  +--org.eidola.kernel.Compiler

All Implemented Interfaces:

EventListener

public class Compiler

extends Object

implements EventListener

An EventListener which compiles containers as they broadcast CompileRequired events. Engine creates one of these and attaches a queue and a group of threads.

The compilation process runs as follows:

• An container broadcasts a CompileRequired event.
• Compiler picks up the event, and calls Container.compile().
• Container.compile() creates a new Compilation, and calls Container.Compilation.run().
• If the container is modified while Container.compile() is running, it throws CompileAbortedException.
• If the compilation isn't aborted, a CompileCompleted event goes out, and subsequent calls to Container.getCompilation() return the newly compeleted Compilation.
