Detailed Description

The Handle holds the information, and allows manipulation, of a connection between a internal::Signal Handler function and the Signal itself.

It is returned by the connect() and setup() methods of Signal and can be used to (dis)connect a handler function from the signal. Handle objects may be assigned to each other and will always point to the same connection. If the last Handle object is destroyed, and is not connected, the connection is destroyed. Thus the resource management (deallocation) is handled by Orocos itself.

To inspect if the Handle points to a valid, existing connection, one can use :

     Handle handle;
     // ...
     if ( !handle ) {
        // not valid !
     }

Member Function Documentation

(Re-)Connect the slot with the signal.

Return values:
truethe slot is connected.
falseno valid signal or slot in this Handle

Definition at line 65 of file Handle.cpp.

bool RTT::Handle::connected ( ) const

Inspect if this Handle represents a connected signal and slot.

Returns:
true if a connection is present.

Definition at line 79 of file Handle.cpp.

Disconnect the slot from the signal.

Return values:
truethe slot is disconnected.
falseno valid signal or slot in this Handle

Definition at line 72 of file Handle.cpp.

RTT::Handle::operator bool ( ) const

Inspect if this Handle is pointing to a valid (existing) connection.

Returns:
false if no connection is associated with this Handle.

Definition at line 83 of file Handle.cpp.

bool RTT::Handle::ready ( ) const

Inspect if this handle is pointing to valid (existing) connection(s).

Returns:
false if no connection(s) is associated with this handle.

Definition at line 87 of file Handle.cpp.
