* (timers) failures made more verbose; reverted timer.block()s in ircbot.rb

[rbot] / lib / rbot / timer.rb

# changes:
#  1. Timer::Timer ---> Timer
#  2. timer id is now the object_id of the action
#  3. Timer resolution removed, we're always arbitrary precision now
#  4. I don't see any obvious races [not that i did see any in old impl, though]
#  5. We're tickless now, so no need to jerk start/stop
#  6. We should be pretty fast now, wrt old impl
#  7. reschedule/remove/block now accept nil as an action id (meaning "current")
#  8. repeatability is ignored for 0-period repeatable timers
#  9. configure() method superceeds reschedule() [the latter stays as compat]

require 'thread'
require 'monitor'

# Timer handler, manage multiple Action objects, calling them when required.
# When the Timer is constructed, a new Thread is created to manage timed
# delays and run Actions.
#
# XXX: there is no way to stop the timer currently. I'm keeping it this way
# to weed out old Timer implementation legacy in rbot code. -jsn.
