Member Function Documentation

template<class T >

bool RTT::ConfigurationInterface::addAttribute	(	const std::string &	name,
		T &	attr
	)

inline

Adds a variable of any type as read/write attribute to the configuration interface. An Alias is created which causes contents of the attr variable always to be in sync with the contents of the attribute object in the interface.

Parameters

name	The name of this attribute
attr	The variable that will be aliased.

Definition at line 101 of file ConfigurationInterface.hpp.

template<class T >

Attribute<T>& RTT::ConfigurationInterface::addAttribute	(	const std::string &	name,
		Attribute< T > &	attr
	)

inline

Adds an existing attribute object to the configuration interface.

Parameters

name	The name of this attribute. attr will be initialized with this name.
attr	The attribute to add

Returns: the Attribute object by reference, which you can further query or use.

Postcondition: attr.ready() == true

Definition at line 115 of file ConfigurationInterface.hpp.

bool RTT::ConfigurationInterface::addAttribute ( base::AttributeBase & a )

inline

Add an base::AttributeBase which remains owned by the user. This is a low-level function that can be used if you already created an Attribute object that does not belong yet to a service.

Parameters

a	remains owned by the user, and becomes served by the repository.

Definition at line 204 of file ConfigurationInterface.hpp.

template<class T >

bool RTT::ConfigurationInterface::addConstant	(	const std::string &	name,
		const T &	cnst
	)

inline

Adds a variable of any type as read-only attribute to the configuration interface. An Alias is created which causes contents of the attribute always to be in sync with the contents of cnst, but it can only be read through the interface.

Parameters

name	The name of this attribute
cnst	The variable that will be aliased.

Definition at line 135 of file ConfigurationInterface.hpp.

template<class T >

Constant<T>& RTT::ConfigurationInterface::addConstant	(	const std::string &	name,
		Constant< T > &	cnst
	)

inline

Adds an existing constant object to the configuration interface.

Parameters

name	The name of this constant. cnst will be initialized with this name.
cnst	The constant to add. If cnst has not been initialized, it will be initialized to T(). You can change it later-on using the Constant's API.

Returns: the Constant object by reference, which you can further query or use.

Postcondition: cnst.ready() == true

Definition at line 150 of file ConfigurationInterface.hpp.

bool RTT::ConfigurationInterface::addConstant ( base::AttributeBase & c )

inline

Add a Constant with a given value.

See also: getConstant

Definition at line 232 of file ConfigurationInterface.hpp.

template<class T >

Property<T>& RTT::ConfigurationInterface::addProperty	(	const std::string &	name,
		T &	prop
	)

inline

Adds a variable of any type as a property to the configuration interface. A Property is created which causes contents of the property always to be in sync with the contents of prop.

Parameters

name	The name of this property
prop	The variable that will be aliased.

Returns: the Property object by reference, which you can further query or document.

Definition at line 171 of file ConfigurationInterface.hpp.

template<class T >

Property<T>& RTT::ConfigurationInterface::addProperty	(	const std::string &	name,
		Property< T > &	prop
	)

inline

Adds an existing property object to the configuration interface.

Parameters

name	The name of this property. prop will be initialized with this name.
prop	The property to add

Returns: the Property object by reference, which you can further query or document.

Postcondition: prop.ready() == true

Definition at line 184 of file ConfigurationInterface.hpp.

bool RTT::ConfigurationInterface::addProperty ( base::PropertyBase & pb )

Add an base::PropertyBase as a property.

Returns: false if a property with the same name already exists.

See also: removeProperty

Definition at line 90 of file ConfigurationInterface.cpp.

bool RTT::ConfigurationInterface::chkPtr	(	const std::string &	where,
		const std::string &	name,
		const void *	ptr
	)

protected

Definition at line 156 of file ConfigurationInterface.cpp.

void RTT::ConfigurationInterface::clear ( )

Erases the whole repository.

Definition at line 70 of file ConfigurationInterface.cpp.

ConfigurationInterface * RTT::ConfigurationInterface::copy	(	std::map< const base::DataSourceBase , base::DataSourceBase > &	repl,
		bool	instantiate
	)		const

Return a new copy of this repository with the copy operation semantics.

Parameters

instantiate set to true if you want a copy which will upon any future copy return the same DataSources, thus 'fixating' or 'instantiating' the DataSources.

See also: base::ActionInterface

Note: this does not copy the properties() within this repository.

Definition at line 60 of file ConfigurationInterface.cpp.

base::AttributeBase* RTT::ConfigurationInterface::getAttribute ( const std::string & name ) const

inline

Definition at line 218 of file ConfigurationInterface.hpp.

std::vector< std::string > RTT::ConfigurationInterface::getAttributeNames ( ) const

Return the names of all attributes in this repository.

Definition at line 138 of file ConfigurationInterface.cpp.

base::AttributeBase* RTT::ConfigurationInterface::getConstant ( const std::string & name ) const

inline

Definition at line 245 of file ConfigurationInterface.hpp.

base::PropertyBase* RTT::ConfigurationInterface::getProperty ( const std::string & name ) const

inline

Get a Property with name name.

Parameters

name	The name of the property to search for.

Returns: The PropertyBase with this name, zero if it does not exist.

Definition at line 275 of file ConfigurationInterface.hpp.

AttributeBase * RTT::ConfigurationInterface::getValue ( const std::string & name ) const

Definition at line 111 of file ConfigurationInterface.cpp.

AttributeObjects const& RTT::ConfigurationInterface::getValues ( ) const

Adds these attributes to this repository.

Definition at line 145 of file ConfigurationInterface.cpp.

Return a bag of all properties.

Definition at line 150 of file ConfigurationInterface.cpp.

void RTT::ConfigurationInterface::removeAttribute ( const std::string & name )

Remove an attribute from the repository.

Definition at line 96 of file ConfigurationInterface.cpp.

bool RTT::ConfigurationInterface::removeProperty ( base::PropertyBase & p )

Remove a previously added Property and associated attribute.

Returns: false if no such property exists.

Definition at line 129 of file ConfigurationInterface.cpp.

bool RTT::ConfigurationInterface::removeValue ( const std::string & name )

Delete a value added with setValue from the repository.

Definition at line 100 of file ConfigurationInterface.cpp.

bool RTT::ConfigurationInterface::setValue ( base::AttributeBase * ab )

Transfer the ownership of an attribute to the repository.

Parameters

ab	The attribute which becomes owned by this repository.

Returns: false if an Attribute with the same name already present.
