ABSTRACT:
A computer process determines that processing by a resource manager of all previously sent event structures has been completed by sending a tag event structure after having sent the previously sent event structures and waiting for the tag event structure to be returned to the computer process by the resource manager. Since the resource manager processes all received event structures on a first-in-first-out basis, the tag event is only returned to the computer process once all previously sent event structures have been processed by the resource manager. The tag event structure is an event structure which is a custom event type and which includes data which identifies the tag event structure as such. Accordingly, the computer process recognizes the tag event structure as such when the tag event structure is received from the resource manager. A family of multiple events represent a complex action and simulation of other events is suppressed until simulation of each element event of the family of events is simulated. Simulation of a family of events is represented in a state and simulation of any event first checks the state to verify that simulation of no family of events is in progress. Such verification triggers simulation of the next event of the family of events. Simulation of the last event of the family of events changes the state to indicate that no family of events is currently being simulated. Since simulation of events other than those of the family of events is suppressed, event structures representing each event of the event family can be created individually as each event of the family of events is simulated. The use of tag events to synchronize processing of families of events enables effective synchronization of simulation of the events of the family.
