Detailed Description

template<class T>
class RTT::DataObjectInterface< T >

A DataObjectInterface extends the AssignableDataSource with implementations of multi-threaded read/write solutions.

It is initially not reference counted, such that DataObjects may be created on the stack. Store a DataObject in a shared_ptr and use this->deref() to get a reference counted version. This dual policy was introduced to be consistent with the other buffer implementations.

See also:: DataObject

Parameters:

T

The DataType which can be Get() or Set() with this DataObject.

Definition at line 64 of file DataObjectInterfaces.hpp.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename T>

virtual AssignableDataSource<T>* RTT::AssignableDataSource< T >::clone ( ) const [pure virtual, inherited]

Return a shallow clone of this DataSource.

This method returns a duplicate of this instance which re-uses the DataSources this DataSource holds reference to. The clone() function is thus a non-deep copy.

Implements RTT::DataSource< T >.

Referenced by RTT::detail::AssignableDataSourceAdaptor< To const &, To >::clone(), and RTT::detail::AssignableDataSourceAdaptor< From, const From & >::clone().

bool RTT::DataSourceBase::composeType ( DataSourceBase::shared_ptr source ) [inherited]

Compose the contents of this object from another datasource.

See also:: TypeInfo

template<typename T>

virtual AssignableDataSource<T>* RTT::AssignableDataSource< T >::copy ( std::map< const DataSourceBase *, DataSourceBase * > & alreadyCloned ) const [pure virtual, inherited]

Create a deep copy of this DataSource, unless it is already cloned.

Places the association (parent, clone) in alreadyCloned. If the DataSource is non-copyable (for example it represents the Property of a Task ), this may be returned.

Implements RTT::DataSource< T >.

Referenced by RTT::detail::AssignableDataSourceAdaptor< To const &, To >::copy(), and RTT::detail::AssignableDataSourceAdaptor< From, const From & >::copy().

virtual void* RTT::DataSourceBase::createBlob ( int protocol ) [virtual, inherited]

Creates a transportable data object with the current value of this DataSource.

This does not trigger the evaluation() of this data source.

Returns:: a valid object or nill if this type is not supported.

Reimplemented in RTT::Corba::ExpressionProxy.

Referenced by RTT::Corba::CorbaDataObjectProxy< T >::Set().

bool RTT::DataSourceBase::decomposeType ( PropertyBag & targetbag ) [inherited]

Decompose the contents of this object into properties.

See also:: TypeInfo

template<>

RTT_API bool RTT::DataSource< bool >::evaluate ( ) const [inline, virtual, inherited]

Force an evaluation of the DataSourceBase.

Returns:: true on successful evaluation. If the DataSource itself contains a boolean, return that boolean.

Implements RTT::DataSourceBase.

template<typename T >

bool RTT::DataSource< T >::evaluate ( ) const [inline, virtual, inherited]

Force an evaluation of the DataSourceBase.

Returns:: true on successful evaluation. If the DataSource itself contains a boolean, return that boolean.

Implements RTT::DataSourceBase.

Reimplemented in RTT::detail::DataSourceAdaptor< From, To >, RTT::detail::DataSourceAdaptor< TFrom &, TFrom >, RTT::detail::DataSourceAdaptor< const TFrom &, const TFrom >, RTT::detail::DataSourceAdaptor< TFrom &, TFrom & >, RTT::detail::DataSourceAdaptor< TFrom, const TFrom & >, RTT::detail::DataSourceAdaptor< const TFrom, const TFrom & >, RTT::detail::AssignableDataSourceAdaptor< From, To >, RTT::detail::AssignableDataSourceAdaptor< From, const From & >, and RTT::detail::AssignableDataSourceAdaptor< To const &, To >.

Reimplemented in RTT::Corba::ExpressionProxy.

template<class T>

virtual const std::string& RTT::DataObjectInterface< T >::getName ( ) const [pure virtual]

template<class T>

virtual AssignableDataSource<DataType>::const_reference_t RTT::DataObjectInterface< T >::rvalue ( ) const [inline, virtual]

Get a const reference (or null) to the value of this DataSource.

Getting a reference to an internal data structure is not thread-safe. DataSources which wish to protect their data from concurrent access may return the null reference with this method. All calls to rvalue() must first check whether they do not return null.

Implements RTT::AssignableDataSource< T >.

OS::AtomicInt RTT::DataSourceBase::refcount [mutable, protected, inherited]

We keep the refcount ourselves.

We aren't using boost::shared_ptr, because boost::intrusive_ptr is better, exactly because it can be used with refcounts that are stored in the class itself. Advantages are that the shared_ptr's for derived classes use the same refcount, which is of course very much desired, and that refcounting happens in an efficient way, which is also nice :)
