Detailed Description

Defines actors, their identification, and lifecycle management.

Includes `qb::Actor`, `qb::ActorId`, `qb::ServiceActor`, and related concepts for creating and managing concurrent entities.

Typedef Documentation

actor

using qb::actor = Actor

Alias for the Actor class.

Provided for naming consistency with other lowercase aliases in the framework

service_actor

template<typename Tag>

using qb::service_actor = ServiceActor<Tag>

Alias for the ServiceActor template class.

Provided for naming consistency with other lowercase aliases in the framework

Template Parameters

Tag	A unique struct Tag to identify the service type

Function Documentation

actor_factory_forward()

template<typename T>

auto qb::actor_factory_forward ( T && val )

inline

Utility function for forwarding and transforming arguments to actor factory.

This function properly forwards arguments to the actor factory, handling special cases:

• String literals are converted to std::string
• Reference wrappers are preserved as-is
• Other types are forwarded with their original value categories

Template Parameters

T	The type of the argument to forward

Parameters

val	The value to forward

Returns

The transformed and properly forwarded value

operator<<()

std::ostream & qb::operator<<	(	std::ostream &	os,
		qb::Actor const &	actor )

Stream output operator for Actor objects.

Formats and outputs actor information to a stream

Parameters

os	Output stream to write to
actor	The Actor object to format and output

Returns

Reference to the output stream

CoreIdBitSet() [1/2]

qb::CoreIdBitSet::CoreIdBitSet ( const qb::unordered_set< CoreId > & coreIds )

inlineexplicit

Constructor from a set of core IDs.

Parameters

coreIds

Set of core IDs to include

CoreIdBitSet() [2/2]

qb::CoreIdBitSet::CoreIdBitSet ( std::initializer_list< CoreId > ids )

inline

Constructor from an initializer list.

Parameters

ids	List of core IDs to include

BroadcastId()

qb::BroadcastId::BroadcastId ( uint32_t const core_id )

inlineexplicitnoexcept

Constructor for BroadcastId.

Parameters

core_id

The core ID to broadcast to.
