Constructor & Destructor Documentation

orcaice::Application::Application	(	orcaice::Component &	component,
		Ice::SignalPolicy	policy = Ice::HandleSignals
	)

Will start the component when main is called.

The flag installCtrlCHandler determines whether the Ctl-C handler is installed. By default it is and the handler destroys the communicator. This triggers component shutdown, if and only if the application is blocked in waitForCommunicatorShutdown(), i.e. if Communicator::start() returns control to application. Most console components should do that.

GUI components implemented in Qt are a notable exception. A Qt app::exec() called in Communicator::start() does not return. For such components set installCtrlCHandler=false and remember to call Communicator::destroy() or Communicator::shutdown() before returning from Component::start().
