Detailed Description

Dispatch a CommandInterface to a CommandProcessor and track its status.

Definition at line 51 of file DispatchInterface.hpp.


Member Enumeration Documentation

The status progressions of a Dispatchable Command.

The order of these enums is important and should not be altered.

Enumerator:
Ready 

The command is not yet initialised.

Sent 

The command is ready for execution.

NotAccepted 

The command has been sent/dispatched to the CommandProcessor.

Accepted 

The command was not accepted by the CommandProcessor.

Executed 

The command was accepted by the CommandProcessor.

NotValid 

The command was executed by the CommandProcessor.

Valid 

The command's arguments were found to be invalid.

Done 

The command's arguments were valid.

Definition at line 65 of file DispatchInterface.hpp.


Member Function Documentation

virtual bool RTT::DispatchInterface::accepted (  )  const [pure virtual]

Returns true if the command was accepted when sent to the CommandProcessor.

A Command is accepted when the CommandProcessor was running and its queue was not full.

Implemented in RTT::CommandDispatch, RTT::CommandExecFunction, RTT::Corba::CommandProxy, and RTT::detail::DataSourceArgsCommand< CommandT, CommandF >.

virtual bool RTT::DispatchInterface::dispatch (  )  [pure virtual]

Dispatch a command.

If it is not accepted, fail, if it is accepted, return true

Implemented in RTT::CommandDispatch, RTT::CommandExecFunction, RTT::Corba::CommandProxy, and RTT::detail::DataSourceArgsCommand< CommandT, CommandF >.

virtual bool RTT::DispatchInterface::executed (  )  const [pure virtual]

Returns true if the command was executed by the CommandProcessor.

When executed() is true, you can check if it was found valid().

Implemented in RTT::CommandDispatch, RTT::CommandExecFunction, RTT::Corba::CommandProxy, and RTT::detail::DataSourceArgsCommand< CommandT, CommandF >.

virtual bool RTT::DispatchInterface::ready (  )  const [pure virtual]

The command's effect is done.

Returns true if the command is ready for dispatch. If ready() returns true, dispatch() can be safely called, otherwise, dispatch() will fail.

Implemented in RTT::CommandDispatch, RTT::CommandExecFunction, RTT::Corba::CommandProxy, and RTT::detail::DataSourceArgsCommand< CommandT, CommandF >.

virtual bool RTT::DispatchInterface::sent (  )  const [pure virtual]

Returns true if the command was sent to the CommandProcessor.

You can use this flag to check whether execute() was invoked.

Implemented in RTT::CommandDispatch, RTT::CommandExecFunction, RTT::Corba::CommandProxy, and RTT::detail::DataSourceArgsCommand< CommandT, CommandF >.

virtual bool RTT::DispatchInterface::valid (  )  const [pure virtual]

Returns true if the command was valid, i.e.

the command itself was executed and returned true.

Implemented in RTT::CommandDispatch, RTT::CommandExecFunction, RTT::Corba::CommandProxy, and RTT::detail::DataSourceArgsCommand< CommandT, CommandF >.
