 * HISTORY
 

An EventConn.T represents a connection to another process through which events are to be distributed.\ttindex{EventConn.T}

INTERFACE EventConn;

IMPORT MsgRd, MsgWr, EventSpaceID, AtomList;

CONST Brand = "EventConn";

TYPE
  T = OBJECT
    space: EventSpaceID.T;
    wr: MsgWr.T := NIL;
    rd: MsgRd.T := NIL;
  METHODS
    problem(al: AtomList.T);
  END;
The problem method must be provided and is called when there is an exception raised on either the rd or wr objects. The user can then take some action, such as dropping the connection. The al argument is an atomList describing the problem, and will include the parameter to any exception that triggered the call to problem.

PROCEDURE Equal(k1, k2: T): BOOLEAN;

END EventConn.
