Detailed Description

Manages an advertisement on a specific topic.

A Publisher should always be created through a call to NodeHandle::advertise(), or copied from one that was. Once all copies of a specific Publisher go out of scope, any subscriber status callbacks associated with that handle will stop being called. Once all Publishers for a given topic go out of scope the topic will be unadvertised.

Member Function Documentation

uint32_t ros::Publisher::getNumSubscribers

(

)

const

Returns the number of subscribers that are currently connected to this Publisher.

Definition at line 122 of file publisher.cpp.

std::string ros::Publisher::getTopic

(

)

const

Returns the topic that this Publisher will publish on.

Definition at line 112 of file publisher.cpp.

void ros::Publisher::incrementSequence ( ) const

private

Definition at line 95 of file publisher.cpp.

bool ros::Publisher::isLatched

(

)

const

Returns whether or not this topic is latched.

Definition at line 132 of file publisher.cpp.

Definition at line 148 of file publisher.h.

bool ros::Publisher::operator!= ( const Publisher &  rhs ) const

inline

Definition at line 160 of file publisher.h.

bool ros::Publisher::operator< ( const Publisher &  rhs ) const

Definition at line 150 of file publisher.h.

bool ros::Publisher::operator== ( const Publisher &  rhs ) const

inline

Definition at line 155 of file publisher.h.

template<typename M >

void ros::Publisher::publish ( const boost::shared_ptr< M > &  message ) const

inline

Publish a message on the topic associated with this Publisher.

This version of publish will allow fast intra-process message-passing in the future, so you may not mutate the message after it has been passed in here (since it will be passed directly into a callback function)

Definition at line 63 of file publisher.h.

template<typename M >

void ros::Publisher::publish ( const M &  message ) const

inline

Publish a message on the topic associated with this Publisher.

Definition at line 95 of file publisher.h.

void ros::Publisher::publish ( const boost::function< SerializedMessage(void)> &  serfunc, SerializedMessage &  m  ) const

private

Definition at line 78 of file publisher.cpp.

void ros::Publisher::shutdown

(

)

Shutdown the advertisement associated with this Publisher.

This method usually does not need to be explicitly called, as automatic shutdown happens when all copies of this Publisher go out of scope

This method overrides the automatic reference counted unadvertise, and does so immediately.

Note

Note that if multiple advertisements were made through NodeHandle::advertise(), this will only remove the one associated with this Publisher
