so-5.4.0: A possibility to add a dispatcher after start of SObjectizer Environment

Since v.5.4.0 it is possible to add a new dispatcher to SObjectizer Environment after start of the Environment. New method so_5::rt::so_environment_t::add_dispatcher_if_not_exists() added for this purpose:

void my_agent::evt_long_request( const request & evt )
{
   // New child cooperation is necessary for handling the request.
   // An instance of dispatcher is required for the cooperation.
 
   // Create a dispatcher if it not exists.
   so_environment().add_dispatcher_if_not_exists(
         "long_request_handler_disp",
         []() { return so_5::disp::active_group::create_disp(); } );
 
   // Agents of child cooparation will be bound to that dispatcher.
   auto coop = so_environment().create_coop(
         "long_request_handler",
         so_5::disp::active_group::create_disp_binder(
               "long_request_handler_disp",
               "child_coop" ) );
   coop->set_parent_coop_name( so_coop_name() );
   ...
}

Note

There is a possibility to add new dispatcher at run-time but there is no possibility to remove it. This feature can be added in future versions of SObjectizer if there will be a necessity for it.
