Detailed Description

This class provides the basic tools to create channels that represent connections between two ports.

The ports and type transports use these functions to setup connections. The interface may change as the needs of these 'users' change.

template<typename T >
static base::ChannelElementBase::shared_ptr RTT::internal::ConnFactory::buildBufferedChannelInput ( OutputPort< T > &  port,
ConnID conn_id,
ConnPolicy const &  policy,
base::ChannelElementBase::shared_ptr  output_channel 
) [inline, static]

Extended version of buildChannelInput that also installs a buffer after the channel input endpoint, according to a policy.

Parameters:
portThe output port to which the connection will be added by client code.
conn_idA unique connection id which identifies this connection
policyThe policy dictating which kind of buffer must be installed. The transport and other parameters are ignored.
output_channelOptional. If present, the buffer will be connected to this element.

template<typename T >
static base::ChannelElementBase::shared_ptr RTT::internal::ConnFactory::buildBufferedChannelOutput ( InputPort< T > &  port,
ConnID conn_id,
ConnPolicy const &  policy,
T const &  initial_value = T() 
) [inline, static]

Extended version of buildChannelOutput that also installs a buffer before the channel output endpoint, according to a policy.

Parameters:
portThe input port to which the connection is added.
conn_idA unique connection id which identifies this connection
policyThe policy dictating which kind of buffer must be installed. The transport and other parameters are ignored.
initial_valueThe value to use to initialize the connection's storage buffer.

Definition at line 255 of file ConnFactory.hpp.

Creates the input endpoint (starting point) of a communication channel and adds it to an OutputPort.

Parameters:
portThe output port to connect the channel's input end to.
Returns:
The created endpoint.
template<typename T >
static base::ChannelElementBase::shared_ptr RTT::internal::ConnFactory::buildChannelInput ( OutputPort< T > &  port,
ConnID conn_id,
base::ChannelElementBase::shared_ptr  output_channel 
) [inline, static]

During the process of building a connection between two ports, this method builds the input half (starting from the OutputPort).

The output_channel argument is the connection element that has been returned by buildChannelOutput.

buildChannelOutput

Definition at line 199 of file ConnFactory.hpp.

Creates the output endpoint of a communication channel and adds it to an InputPort.

Parameters:
portThe input port to connect the channel's output end to.
Returns:
The created endpoint.
template<typename T >
static base::ChannelElementBase::shared_ptr RTT::internal::ConnFactory::buildChannelOutput ( InputPort< T > &  port,
ConnID conn_id 
) [inline, static]

During the process of building a connection between two ports, this method builds the output part of the channel, that is the half that is connected to the input port. The returned value is the connection element that should be connected to the end of the input-half.

See also:
buildChannelInput

Definition at line 238 of file ConnFactory.hpp.

Creates single data or buffered storage for this type.

Parameters:
policyDescribes the kind of storage requested by the user
Returns:
a storage element.
template<typename T >
static base::ChannelElementBase* RTT::internal::ConnFactory::buildDataStorage ( ConnPolicy const &  policy,
const T &  initial_value = T() 
) [inline, static]

This method creates the connection element that will store data inside the connection, based on the given policy

Todo:

: shouldn't this belong in the template type info ? This allows the type lib to choose which locked/lockfree algorithms are implemented and leaves out 4x code generation for each alternative in each compilation unit. Contra: needs T in typelib.

: since setDataSample, initial_value is no longer needed.

template<typename T >
static bool RTT::internal::ConnFactory::createConnection ( OutputPort< T > &  output_port,
base::InputPortInterface input_port,
ConnPolicy const &  policy 
) [inline, static]

Creates a connection from a local output_port to a local or remote input_port. This function contains all logic to decide on how connections must be created to local or remote input ports.

In order to set up out-of-band communication between input_port and output_port, use a different transport number in the policy parameter than the transport of the input port.

Definition at line 274 of file ConnFactory.hpp.

template<class T >
static base::ChannelElementBase::shared_ptr RTT::internal::ConnFactory::createOutOfBandConnection ( OutputPort< T > &  output_port,
InputPort< T > &  input_port,
ConnPolicy const &  policy 
) [inline, static, protected]

This code is for setting up an in-process out-of-band connection. This means that both input and output port are present in the same process. This function is used when the policy dictates a transport protocol, but both ports are local.

Returns:
a channel element chain with a channel output endpoint, but no channel input endpoint.

template<class T >
static bool RTT::internal::ConnFactory::createStream ( OutputPort< T > &  output_port,
ConnPolicy const &  policy 
) [inline, static]

Creates, attaches and checks an outbound stream to an Output port.

Parameters:
output_portThe port to connect the stream to.
policyThe policy dictating which transport to use.
Returns:
true if the stream could be created and connected to output_port.

Definition at line 327 of file ConnFactory.hpp.

template<class T >
static bool RTT::internal::ConnFactory::createStream ( InputPort< T > &  input_port,
ConnPolicy const &  policy 
) [inline, static]

Creates, attaches and checks an inbound stream to an Input port.

Parameters:
input_portThe port to connect the stream to.
policyThe policy dictating which transport to use.
Returns:
true if the stream could be created and connected to input_port.
