Description

CStageInitInfo is the class object which is passed to your stage BeginStage() function. It is through this class object that you instruct the CStageManager as to the success or failure of you stages’ initialisation process; by setting the m_bReturnCode member variable to a value of true or false, respectively.

Definition

The following class definition is an edited version; it details only those members which are accessible and of use to you. In addition; any examples that may be shown are only intended as a demonstration of how certain functions might be used, they do not represent best practice nor do they take into account the scope and de-allocation of class objects.

class CStageInitInfo
{
 // Access to the CStageManager that created me.
 CStageManager *Manager( void )
 
 // Stage initialisation return code.
 bool m_bReturnCode;
};
 

Member variables

●	bool m_bReturnCode [in] is the return code to be set by your stage BeginStage() function.

Member functions

 
CStageInitInfo::Manager( void )
 

●

Purpose

Use Manager() to access the CStageManager that created your stage.

The function is used in combination with the m_bReturnCode member in order to inform the CStageManager of the status of your stage initialisation phase.

●

Parameters

●

void

●

Returns

●	CStageManager * A pointer to the CStageManager that launched your stage.

Usage

The following example shows the BeginStage() function, which is the entry point of your stage.

CStageManager calls BeginStage() with a CStageInitInfo class object; you instantiate your stage, call your Initialise() function to parse your stage command argument and allocate the resources that your stage requires and through the m_bReturnCode member you report back to CStageManager its success or failure. CStageManager then reports back to you whether you should proceed or terminate immediately.

DWORD BeginStage( CStageInitInfo *a_pInfo )

{

AFX_MANAGE_STATE( AfxGetStaticModuleState() );

// Instantiate the CStage class object.

CLookup lookup( a_pInfo );

// Perform initialisation phase processing.

 a_pInfo->m_bReturnCode = lookup.Initialise();
 // Inform the manager of the initialisation phase result and if
 // this or any other stage has reported an error, then terminate processing.

if( !a_pInfo->Manager()->SetStatus( a_pInfo ) )

return( _RC_FAIL_ );

// Otherwise; proceed to our runtime phase.

return( lookup.Go() );

}
