libtcspc.BucketEvent¶

class libtcspc.BucketEvent(element_type)[source]¶

Bases: EventType

Event carrying a contiguous array of elements of another event type.

Emitted by sources and batching processors (for example, ReadBinaryStream, Batch, and Acquire) to transport bulk data through the graph with zero-copy semantics where possible.

Parameters:: element_type (EventType) – The event type of the elements stored in the bucket.

Notes

The corresponding C++ event is tcspc::bucket<T>, a movable handle to a contiguous storage region. Moving a bucket transfers ownership of the storage; copying allocates and copies the data.
