Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class RTT::internal::DataSource< T >

DataSource is a base class representing a generic way to read data of type T.

See also:: base::DataSourceBase for shared_ptr use.

Parameters:

T	The type of data returned.

Definition at line 94 of file DataSource.hpp.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename T>

virtual DataSource<T>* RTT::internal::DataSource< T >::clone ( ) const [pure virtual]

Return a shallow clone of this DataSource.

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

Implements RTT::base::DataSourceBase.

template<typename T>

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

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

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

Implements RTT::base::DataSourceBase.

Referenced by RTT::scripting::ConditionBoolDataSource::copy(), RTT::scripting::ConditionDSDuration::copy(), RTT::scripting::CommandDataSourceBool::copy(), RTT::scripting::TryCommandResult::copy(), RTT::internal::ArrayPartDataSource< T >::copy(), RTT::scripting::EvalCommand::copy(), RTT::scripting::EvalCommandResult::copy(), RTT::internal::BinaryDataSource< function >::copy(), and RTT::internal::UnaryDataSource< function >::copy().

template<typename T >

bool RTT::internal::DataSource< T >::evaluate ( ) const [virtual]

Force an evaluation of the DataSourceBase.

Returns:: true on successful evaluation.

Implements RTT::base::DataSourceBase.

Reimplemented in RTT::internal::ActionAliasAssignableDataSource< T >, RTT::internal::ActionAliasDataSource< T >, RTT::internal::AliasDataSource< T >, RTT::internal::FusedMCallDataSource< Signature >, RTT::internal::FusedFunctorDataSource< Signature, Enable >, RTT::internal::InputPortSource< T >, and RTT::internal::DataObjectDataSource< T >.

DataSourceBase::shared_ptr RTT::DataSourceBase::getMember ( const std::string & member_name ) [virtual, inherited]

Get a (const) reference data source to a member of the structure of this data source.

You must call getMember() in turn on the returned member to access sub-members.

Parameters:

member_name The name of the member to get access to.

Returns:: null if the member does not exist, this if member_name.empty(), and a reference data source to the member otherwise.

Definition at line 124 of file DataSource.cpp.

References RTT::types::TypeInfo::getMember(), and RTT::base::DataSourceBase::getTypeInfo().

DataSourceBase::shared_ptr RTT::DataSourceBase::getMember	(	DataSourceBase::shared_ptr	member_id,
		DataSourceBase::shared_ptr	offset
	)		`[virtual, inherited]`

Same as above, but with run-time lookup of the member to use.

Also takes an optional offset argument which can be used to offset the member in memory. This is necessary when using sequences of sequences. DataSources which are a sequence/offset member themselves must override this function to let the returned member take the offset into account.

Definition at line 130 of file DataSource.cpp.

References RTT::types::TypeInfo::getMember(), and RTT::base::DataSourceBase::getTypeInfo().

vector< string > RTT::DataSourceBase::getMemberNames ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Returns the names of all members of the structure contained in this data source, or an empty list if none.

If this data source is a sequence, it will not return the allowed index numbers.

Definition at line 134 of file DataSource.cpp.

References RTT::types::TypeInfo::getMemberNames(), and RTT::base::DataSourceBase::getTypeInfo().

DataSourceBase::shared_ptr RTT::DataSourceBase::getParent ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Returns the top level data source that contains the full data structure this data source refers to.

Defaults to returning this.

Definition at line 138 of file DataSource.cpp.

template<>

void const * RTT::internal::DataSource< void >::getRawConstPointer ( ) [inline, virtual]

Returns a const pointer to the sample contained in this data source, if there is any.

Returns 0 otherwise

Reimplemented from RTT::base::DataSourceBase.

Definition at line 59 of file DataSource.inl.

void * RTT::DataSourceBase::getRawPointer ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Returns a pointer to the sample contained in this data source, if there is any, and if it is an lvalue.

Returns 0 otherwise

Definition at line 115 of file DataSource.cpp.

bool RTT::DataSourceBase::isAssignable ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Returns true if this object can be cast to an AssignableDataSource.

When this method returns true, all update functions below will return as well when valid input is given.

Definition at line 104 of file DataSource.cpp.

template<typename T>

virtual const_reference_t RTT::internal::DataSource< T >::rvalue ( ) const [pure virtual]

Get a const reference to the value of this DataSource.

You must call evaluate() prior to calling this function in order to get the most recent value of this attribute.

Note:: Getting a reference to an internal data structure is not thread-safe.

DataSourceBase::const_ptr RTT::DataSourceBase::stack_const_ptr ( const DataSourceBase * dsb ) [static, inherited]

Returns a const shared_ptr to a DataSourceBase living on the stack.

Make sure that the const_ptr does not outlive the stacked element.

Definition at line 98 of file DataSource.cpp.

bool RTT::DataSourceBase::update ( DataSourceBase * other ) [virtual, inherited]

Update the value of this internal::DataSource with the value of an other DataSource.

Update does a full update of the value, adding extra information if necessary.

Precondition:: this->isAssignable() == true

Returns:: false if the DataSources are of different type OR if the contents of this internal::DataSource can not be updated.

Definition at line 108 of file DataSource.cpp.

ActionInterface * RTT::DataSourceBase::updateAction ( DataSourceBase * other ) [virtual, inherited]

Generate a ActionInterface object which will update this internal::DataSource with the value of another internal::DataSource when execute()'ed.

Precondition:: this->isAssignable() == true

Returns:: zero if the internal::DataSource types do not match OR if the contents of this internal::DataSource can not be updated.

Definition at line 120 of file DataSource.cpp.

template<typename T>

virtual result_t RTT::internal::DataSource< T >::value ( ) const [pure virtual]

Return the result of the last evaluate() function.

You must call evaluate() prior to calling this function in order to get the most recent value of this attribute.

Stream the contents of this object.

Member Data Documentation

os::AtomicInt RTT::base::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 :)
