Member Function Documentation

◆ describe()

void seastar::program_options::option_group::describe ( options_descriptor descriptor) const
inherited

Describe the content of this option group to the visitor.

The content is visited in a depth-first manner:

  • First the option groups itself is visited with options_descriptor::visit_group_start(). If this returns false the entire content of the group, including all its subgroups and values are skipped and options_descriptor::visit_group_end() is called immediately. Otherwise visiting the content of the group proceeds.
  • All the values contained therein are visited. For each value the following happens:
    • First options_descriptor::visit_value_metadata() is called with generic metadata that all values have. If this return false the value is skipped, otherwise visiting the value proceeds.
    • Then the appropriate overload of options_descriptor::visit_value() is called, with a pointer to the default value of the respective value. The pointer is null if there is no default value.
    • For selection_value, options_descriptor::visit_selection_value() will be called instead of options_descriptor::visit_value(). After the value is visited, the option_group instance belonging to each candidate (if set) will be visited.
  • All the nested option_group instances in the current group are visited.
  • Finally options_descriptor::visit_group_end() is called.

◆ mutate()

void seastar::program_options::option_group::mutate ( options_mutator mutator)
inherited

Mutate the content of this option group by the visitor.

The visiting algorithm is identical to that of describe(), with the following differences:

  • options_mutator::visit_value() is allowed to mutate the value through the passed-in reference. It should return true if it did so and false otherwise.
  • When visiting a selection value, only the nested group belonging to the selected value is visited afterwards.

Member Data Documentation

◆ allow_cpus_in_remote_numa_nodes

program_options::value<bool> seastar::smp_options::allow_cpus_in_remote_numa_nodes

If some CPUs are found not to have any local NUMA nodes, allow assigning them to remote ones.

Note
Unused when seastar is compiled without HWLOC support.

◆ enable_glibc_exception_scaling_workaround

program_options::value<bool> seastar::smp_options::enable_glibc_exception_scaling_workaround

Enable workaround for glibc/gcc c++ exception scalablity problem.

Default: true.

Note
Unused when seastar is compiled without the exception scaling support.

◆ mbind

program_options::value<bool> seastar::smp_options::mbind

Enable mbind.

Default: true.

◆ memory_allocator

seastar::memory_allocator seastar::smp_options::memory_allocator = memory_allocator::seastar

Memory allocator to use.

The following options only have effect if the memory_allocator::seastar is used:

◆ num_io_groups

program_options::value<unsigned> seastar::smp_options::num_io_groups

Number of IO groups.

Each IO group will be responsible for a fraction of the IO requests. Defaults to the number of NUMA nodes

Note
Unused when seastar is compiled without HWLOC support.

◆ thread_affinity

program_options::value<bool> seastar::smp_options::thread_affinity

Pin threads to their cpus (disable for overprovisioning).

Default: true.
