bool ChannelElementBase::addInput ( shared_ptr const &  input)
protectedvirtualinherited

Sets the new input channel element of this element or adds a channel to the inputs list.

Parameters
inputthe previous element in chain.
Returns
true if the input was set or false if this element does not support multiple inputs and the input is already set.

Reimplemented in RTT::base::MultipleInputsChannelElementBase.

bool ChannelElementBase::addOutput ( shared_ptr const &  output,
bool  mandatory = true 
)
protectedvirtualinherited

Sets the new output channel element of this element or adds a channel to the outputs list.

Parameters
outputthe next element in chain.
mandatorywhether the added output is mandatory for a write to succeed
Returns
true if the output was set or false if this element does not support multiple outputs and the output is already set.

bool ChannelElementBase::channelReady ( ChannelElementBase::shared_ptr const &  caller,
ConnPolicy const &  policy,
internal::ConnID conn_id = 0 
)
virtualinherited

This is called on the output half of a new connection by the connection factory in order to notify the output side of the new connection and check if it is ready to receive data.

Each channel element has the responsibility to pass this notification on to the next, in the direction of the input. The ConnOutputEndPoint then calls back the inputReady() method in reverse direction to notify the output that the connection was successfully established.

Returns
false if a fatal connection failure was encountered and the channel needs to be destroyed.

void ChannelElementBase::clear ( )
virtualinherited

Clears any data stored by the channel.

It means that ChannelElement::read() will return false afterwards (provided that no new data has been written on the meantime of course)

By default, the channel element forwards the calls to its input

template<typename T>
virtual WriteStatus RTT::base::ChannelElement< T >::data_sample ( param_t  sample,
bool  reset = true 
)
inlinevirtual

Provides a data sample to initialize this connection.

This is used before the first write() in order to inform this connection of the size of the data. As such enough storage space can be allocated before the actual writing begins.

Returns
false if an error occured that requires the channel to be invalidated.

void ChannelElementBase::disconnect ( bool  forward)
virtualinherited
virtual bool RTT::base::ChannelElementBase::disconnect ( ChannelElementBase::shared_ptr const &  channel,
bool  forward 
)
virtualinherited

Performs a disconnection of a single input or output endpoint.

If forward is true, then the disconnection is initiated by the input endpoint and channel must be a connected input. Otherwise, it has been initiated by the output endpoint and channel must be a connected output. The disconnect call is only forwarded to the opposite side of the channel element after the last input/output element on either side has been removed.

The ChannelElementBase implementation ignores the given channel and disconnects unconditinally.

Reimplemented in RTT::base::MultipleInputsMultipleOutputsChannelElementBase, RTT::base::MultipleOutputsChannelElementBase, RTT::base::MultipleInputsChannelElementBase, RTT::corba::RemoteChannelElement< T >, RTT::internal::ConnOutputEndpoint< T >, and RTT::internal::ConnInputEndpoint< T >.

const ConnPolicy * ChannelElementBase::getConnPolicy ( ) const
virtualinherited

Get a pointer to the connection policy used to build this channel element, if available.

This method will be overwritten for data and buffer elements.

Returns
null if there is no ConnPolicy associated with this element, a pointer to an instance of ConnPolicy otherwise.
