Detailed Description

An activity which is triggered by the availability of data on a set of file descriptors. step() (and hence the base::RunnableInterface's step() method) is called when data is available or when an error is encountered on the file descriptor.

To use it, one must add the file descriptors to watch in the task's configureHook()

FileDescriptorActivity* fd_activity = dynamic_cast<FileDescriptorActivity*>(getActivity().get()); if (fd_activity) { fd_activity->watch(device_fd); // optional, set a timeout in milliseconds fd_activity->setTimeout(1000); }

Then, updateHook() and -- when in ERROR state -- errorHook() will be called when one of these three events happen:

The different cases can be tested in updateHook() as follows:

FileDescriptorActivity* fd_activity = dynamic_cast<FileDescriptorActivity*>(getActivity().get()); if (fd_activity) { if (fd_activity->hasError()) { } else if (fd_activity->hasTimeout()) { } else { // If there is more than one FD, discriminate. Otherwise, // we don't need to use isUpdated if (fd_activity->isUpdated(device_fd)) { } else if (fd_activity->isUpdated(another_fd)) { } } }

bool RTT::extras::FileDescriptorActivity::hasError (  )  const

True if one of the file descriptors has a problem (for instance it has been closed)

This should only be used from within the base::RunnableInterface this activity is driving, i.e. in TaskContext::updateHook() or TaskContext::errorHook().

True if one of the file descriptors has a problem (for instance it has been closed)

Definition at line 149 of file FileDescriptorActivity.cpp.

bool RTT::extras::FileDescriptorActivity::hasTimeout (  )  const

True if the base::RunnableInterface has been triggered because of a timeout, instead of because of new data is available.

This should only be used from within the base::RunnableInterface this activity is driving, i.e. in TaskContext::updateHook() or TaskContext::errorHook().

bool FileDescriptorActivity::hasTimeout (  )  const

True if the base::RunnableInterface has been triggered because of a timeout, instead of because of new data is available.

Definition at line 151 of file FileDescriptorActivity.cpp.

bool RTT::extras::FileDescriptorActivity::isRunning (  )  const [virtual]

Query if the activity is initialized and executing. This is more strict than isActive(), it is only true after initialize() is executed and before finalize() is executed. More-over, an Activity may decide to be temporarily not running (not executing code), waiting for a signal to proceed. If this->isActive() and !this->isRunning() then the Activity is in a waiting state.

Returns:
true if it is running, false otherwise

Reimplemented from RTT::Activity.

close_on_stop if true, the FD will be closed automatically when the activity is stopped
void FileDescriptorActivity::watch ( int  fd  ) 

Sets the file descriptor the activity should be listening to.

  • close_on_stop { if true, the file descriptor will be closed by the activity when stop() is called. Otherwise, the file descriptor is left as-is.}
