Detailed Description

template<typename D>
class nest::DataEvent< D >

Event for transmitting arbitrary data.

This event type may be used for transmitting arbitrary data between events, e.g., images or their FFTs. A lockptr to the data is transmitted. The date type is given as a template parameter.

Note
: Data is passed via a lockptr. The receiver should copy the data at once, otherwise it may be modified by the sender. I hope this scheme is thread-safe, as long as the receiver copies the data at once. HEP.
: This is a base class. Actual event types had to be derived, since operator() cannot be instantiated otherwise.
