Deprecate posix timer - Githubissues

marthtz commented 3 years ago

Brief feature description

Deprecate posix timer from iceoryx code base.

Detailed information

Posix timer has several issues (concurrency, truncation) and is pretty heavy weight and a bit slow. As iceorxy needs to be very responsive the posix timer should be removed and replaced with a lightweight stopwatch.

This will also close #190 as it'll be obsolete.

Tasks

[x] create DeadlineTimer or similar and replace this part of the PosixTimer where applicable
[x] create an object that creates a thread and peridically executes a task
[ ] create a small wrapper around a posix::semaphore which can be used for concurrent::PeriodicTask
[x] replace the keep alive message from a std::chrono timestamp with a units::Duration from a timespec initialized with clock_gettime with CLOCK_REALTIME -> maybe better to use a different issue for this
