| A type of signal that enforces a time dependency between other signals, making sure its inputs are up to date on access, using a incrementing time tick as reference. It works this way: for a given SignalTimeDependent S, the user manually adds dependent signals through the use of the addDependency function. On access (calling the signal S operator () or access(Time) function), if the dependent signals are not up-to-date, i.e. if their [last update] time is less than the current time, their value will be access ()'ed to bring them up-to-date. Thus, the value of dependent signals can be accessed quickly and repeatedly through the accessCopy () function. More...
