Design pattern | Purpose | Implementation details | Use cases | Limitations |
---|---|---|---|---|
Functional Global Variable | Exchange information without using global variables | A shift register of a while loop is used to store the data and the while loop runs only one iteration in a 'non-reentrant' VI |
|
|
State machine[4] | Controlled execution that depends on past events | Case structure inside a while loop pass an enumerated variable to a shift register, representing the next state; complex state machines can be designed using the Statechart module |
|
|
Event-driven user interface | Lossless processing of user actions | GUI events are captured by an event structure queue, inside a while loop; the while loop is suspended by the event structure and resumes only when the desired events are captured |
|
|
Master-slave[5] | Run independent processes simultaneously | Several parallel while loops, out of which one functions as the 'master', controlling the 'slave' loops |
|
|
Producer-consumer[6] | Asynchronous of multithreaded execution of loops | A master loop controls the execution of two slave loops, that communicate using notifiers, queues and semaphores; ability) | ?? | 1995 |
