template<class T >

size_type RTT::base::BufferLocked< T >::capacity ( ) const [inline, virtual]

Returns the maximum number of items that can be stored in the buffer.

Returns:: maximum number of items.

Implements RTT::base::BufferBase.

Definition at line 156 of file BufferLocked.hpp.

template<class T >

void RTT::base::BufferLocked< T >::clear ( ) [inline, virtual]

Clears all contents of this buffer.

Implements RTT::base::BufferBase.

Definition at line 166 of file BufferLocked.hpp.

template<class T >

virtual void RTT::base::BufferLocked< T >::data_sample ( const T & sample ) [inline, virtual]

Initializes this buffer with a data sample, such that for dynamical allocated types T, the buffer can reserve place to hold these elements.

Postcondition:: Calling this function causes all data in the buffer to be lost and the size being reset to zero.

Implements RTT::base::BufferInterface< T >.

Definition at line 80 of file BufferLocked.hpp.

template<class T >

bool RTT::base::BufferLocked< T >::empty ( ) const [inline, virtual]

Check if this buffer is empty.

Returns:: true if size() == 0

Implements RTT::base::BufferBase.

Definition at line 171 of file BufferLocked.hpp.

template<class T >

bool RTT::base::BufferLocked< T >::full ( ) const [inline, virtual]

Check if this buffer is full.

Returns:: true if size() == capacity()

Implements RTT::base::BufferBase.

Definition at line 176 of file BufferLocked.hpp.

template<class T >

bool RTT::base::BufferLocked< T >::Pop ( reference_t item ) [inline, virtual]

Read the oldest value from the buffer.

Parameters:

item	is to be set with a value from the buffer.

Returns:: true if something was read.

Implements RTT::base::BufferInterface< T >.

Definition at line 112 of file BufferLocked.hpp.

template<class T >

size_type RTT::base::BufferLocked< T >::Pop ( std::vector< T > & items ) [inline, virtual]

Read the whole buffer.

Parameters:

items is to be filled with all values in the buffer, with items.begin() the oldest value.

Returns:: the number of items read.

Implements RTT::base::BufferInterface< T >.

Definition at line 123 of file BufferLocked.hpp.

template<class T >

value_t* RTT::base::BufferLocked< T >::PopWithoutRelease ( ) [inline, virtual]

Returns a pointer to the first element in the buffer.

The pointer is only garanteed to stay valid until the next pop operation.

Note the pointer needs the be released by calling Release on the buffer.

Returns:: a pointer to a sample or Zero if buffer is empty

Implements RTT::base::BufferInterface< T >.

Definition at line 135 of file BufferLocked.hpp.

template<class T >

bool RTT::base::BufferLocked< T >::Push ( param_t item ) [inline, virtual]

Write a single value to the buffer.

Parameters:

item	the value to write

Returns:: false if the buffer is full.

Implements RTT::base::BufferInterface< T >.

Definition at line 91 of file BufferLocked.hpp.

template<class T >

size_type RTT::base::BufferLocked< T >::Push ( const std::vector< T > & items ) [inline, virtual]

Write a sequence of values to the buffer.

Parameters:

items the values to write

Returns:: the number of values written (may be less than items.size())

Implements RTT::base::BufferInterface< T >.

Definition at line 101 of file BufferLocked.hpp.

template<class T >

void RTT::base::BufferLocked< T >::Release ( value_t * item ) [inline, virtual]

Releases the pointer.

Parameters:

item	pointer aquired using PopWithoutRelease()

Implements RTT::base::BufferInterface< T >.

Definition at line 149 of file BufferLocked.hpp.

template<class T >

size_type RTT::base::BufferLocked< T >::size ( ) const [inline, virtual]

Returns the actual number of items that are stored in the buffer.

Returns:: number of items.
