Function Documentation

rmw_ret_t rmw_topic_endpoint_info_set_node_name(rmw_topic_endpoint_info_t *topic_endpoint_info, const char *node_name, rcutils_allocator_t *allocator)

Set the node name in the given topic endpoint info data structure.

This functions allocates memory and copies the value of the node_name argument to set the data structure node_name member.

Remark

This function sets the RMW error state on failure.

Thread-safety

Setting a member is a reentrant procedure, but:

  • Access to the topic endpoint info data structure is not synchronized. It is not safe to read or write the node_name member of the given topic_endpoint while setting it.

  • Access to C-style string arguments is read-only but it is not synchronized. Concurrent node_name reads are safe, but concurrent reads and writes are not.

  • The default allocators are thread-safe objects, but any custom allocator may not be. Check your allocator documentation for further reference.

Parameters:

  • topic_endpoint_info – [inout] Data structure to be populated.

  • node_name – [in] Node name to be set.

  • allocator – [in] Allocator to be used.

Pre:

Given node_name is a valid C-style string i.e. NULL terminated.

Returns:

RMW_RET_OK if successful, or

Returns:

RMW_RET_INVALID_ARGUMENT if topic_endpoint_info is NULL, or

Returns:

RMW_RET_INVALID_ARGUMENT if node_name is NULL, or

Returns:

RMW_RET_BAD_ALLOC if memory allocation fails, or

Returns:

RMW_RET_ERROR when an unspecified error occurs.
