Member Function Documentation

void ComponentLoader::addFactory ( std::string const &  name,
ComponentLoaderSignature  factory 
)

Adds a factory to the component factory map.

Definition at line 823 of file ComponentLoader.cpp.

std::string ComponentLoader::getComponentPath ( ) const

Returns the current Component path list. Defaults to the value of RTT_COMPONENT_PATH, when the RTT was started for the current process.

Returns:
A colon separated list of paths or the empty string if not set.

Definition at line 716 of file ComponentLoader.cpp.

Returns the factory singleton which creates all types of components for the ComponentLoader.

Definition at line 818 of file ComponentLoader.cpp.

bool ComponentLoader::import ( std::string const &  path_list)

Imports any Component library found in each path in path_list in the current process.

Parameters:
path_listA colon or semi-colon seperated list of paths to look for Components. May be the empty string.
Returns:
true if all paths were valid and contained components. If at least one path did not exist or did not contain any components or plugins, returns false.

Definition at line 292 of file ComponentLoader.cpp.

bool ComponentLoader::import ( std::string const &  name,
std::string const &  path_list 
)

Imports a package found in each path in path_list in the current process.

Parameters:
nameThe name of the (package) directory to import
path_listA colon or semi-colon seperated list of paths to look for Components. May be the empty string. In that case, the default component search path is used.

Definition at line 393 of file ComponentLoader.cpp.

bool ComponentLoader::importInstalledPackage ( std::string const &  package,
std::string const &  path_list 
) [private]

Returns true if package is a subdir of the RTT_COMPONENT_PATH

Definition at line 429 of file ComponentLoader.cpp.

boost::shared_ptr< ComponentLoader > ComponentLoader::Instance ( ) [static]

Create the instance of the ComponentLoader. It will keep track of the loaded libraries for this process.

Returns:
A singleton.

Definition at line 280 of file ComponentLoader.cpp.

bool ComponentLoader::isCompatibleComponent ( std::string const &  filepath) [private]

Internal helper function that validate if a component is compatible with the current target. Currently, there's a validation only on the win32 platform to avoid mixing debug/release runtime libraries.

Parameters:
filepathFull path of component to validate (with extension).
Returns:
true if the component is compatible

Definition at line 788 of file ComponentLoader.cpp.

bool ComponentLoader::isImported ( std::string  type_name)

Checks if a given Component type, filename or package name has been imported. This function accepts full filenames ('libthe_Component.so.1.99.0'), short names ('the_Component'), the name provided by the Component Factory ('App::Component'), or a package name ('myrobot')

Parameters:
type_namename of a file, package directory or the Component type.
Returns:
true if so.

Definition at line 563 of file ComponentLoader.cpp.

std::vector< std::string > ComponentLoader::listComponents ( ) const

Lists all Component created by loadComponent().

Returns:
A list of Component names

Definition at line 780 of file ComponentLoader.cpp.

std::vector< std::string > ComponentLoader::listComponentTypes ( ) const

Lists all Component types discovered by the ComponentLoader.

Returns:
A list of Component type names

Definition at line 707 of file ComponentLoader.cpp.

RTT::TaskContext * ComponentLoader::loadComponent ( std::string const &  name,
std::string const &  type 
)

Creates a new component an earlier discovered component type.

Parameters:
nameThe name of the to be created Component
typeThe type of component to be created.
Returns:
null on error or a new component.

Definition at line 729 of file ComponentLoader.cpp.

bool ComponentLoader::loadInProcess ( std::string  filename,
std::string  shortname,
bool  log_error 
) [private]

Internal function that does all library loading.

Parameters:
filenameThe path+filename to open
shortnameThe short name of this file
log_errorLog errors to users. Set to false in case you are poking files to see if they can be loaded.
Returns:
true if a new library was loaded or if this library was already loaded.

Definition at line 620 of file ComponentLoader.cpp.

bool ComponentLoader::loadLibrary ( std::string const &  path)

Loads a library as component library.

Parameters:
pathan absolute or relative path to a library. Relative paths are interpreted with regard to the plugin path.

Definition at line 513 of file ComponentLoader.cpp.

void ComponentLoader::Release ( ) [static]

Release the ComponentLoader, erasing all knowledge of loaded libraries. No libraries will be unloaded from the process.

Definition at line 286 of file ComponentLoader.cpp.

bool ComponentLoader::reloadInProcess ( std::string  filename,
std::string  shortname 
) [private]

Internal function that does try to reload a previously loaded library by first dl_close'ing the library.

Parameters:
filenameThe path+filename to open
shortnameThe short name of this file
Returns:
true if this library was reloaded.

Definition at line 577 of file ComponentLoader.cpp.

bool ComponentLoader::reloadLibrary ( std::string const &  filepath)

Reloads a component library.

Parameters:
filepathan absolute path to a library.

Definition at line 499 of file ComponentLoader.cpp.

void ComponentLoader::setComponentPath ( std::string const &  newpath)

Sets the Component path list. This is typically done by RTT startup code with the contents of the RTT_COMPONENT_PATH variable.

Parameters:
newpathThe new paths to look for Components.

Definition at line 724 of file ComponentLoader.cpp.

Destroys an earlier created component.

Parameters:
tcThe TaskContext to be destroyed. tc may no longer be used after this function returns true.
Returns:
false if tc was not loaded by this ComponentLoader.

Definition at line 765 of file ComponentLoader.cpp.
