[Xorp-users] My new XorpTimer not working in PIM

[swdickey at rockwellcollins.com]

Hi Hackers,

I am trying out some code inside the 
pim_mre_join_prune::recompute_is_prune_desired_*** methods.  After every 
set_pruned_state() call I want to set my new timer to fire every 30 
seconds or so.  This is the code I am using, its pretty much identical to 
the join_timer() which is why I'm confused that it doesn't work.

Pim_Mre_Join_Prune::recompute_is_prune_desired_****

TimeVal timeval = TimeVal(30,0);

...

set_pruned_state();

new_timer() =
        pim_node().eventloop().new_oneoff_after(
            timeval,
            callback(this, &PimMre::new_timer_timeout));


//Later on...
void
PimMre::new_timer_timeout()
{
        XLOG_TRACE(true, "New timer fired.");
}


PimMre.hh: 

XorpTimer&      new_timer() { return (_new_timer); } 
const XorpTimer& const_new_timer() const {
                return (_new_timer);
    }
 
    XorpTimer   _new_timer; 

          //function to be called
    void        new_timer_timeout();



This code will run and will set the timer (new_timer().scheduled == true) 
but the timer will never fire!  Interestingly, if I change the time to 5 
milliseconds (TimeVal timeval = TimeVal(0,5);) then the new_timer will 
fire.  I'm not sure if this is a timing issue or some memory is going out 
of scope and the 5 msec will fire the timer before the memory is 
overwritten.

Any ideas?  Thanks!
