A connection policy object describes how a given connection should behave. Various parameters are available:
the locking policy: LOCKED, LOCK_FREE or UNSYNC. This defines how locking is done in the connection. For now, only three policies are available. LOCKED uses mutexes, LOCK_FREE uses a lock free method and UNSYNC means there's no synchronisation at all (not thread safe). The latter should be used only when there is no contention (simultaneous write-read).
if, upon connection, the last value that has been written on the writer end should be written on the connection as well to initialize it. This flag has an effect only if the writer has keepsLastWrittenValue() set to true (see OutputPortInterface::keepLastWrittenValue()).
if the data is pushed or pulled on the connection. This has an effect only on multi-process communication. In the pushed case (the default), new data is actively pushed to the reader's process. In the pulled case, data must be requested by the reader.

RTT::ConnPolicy::ConnPolicy | ( | int | type = DATA , |
int | lock_policy = LOCK_FREE |
||
) | [explicit] |
The default policy is data driven, lock-free and local. It is unsafe to rely on these defaults. It is prefered to use the above buffer() and data() functions.

int RTT::ConnPolicy::data_size [mutable] |
Suggest the payload size of the data sent over this channel. Connections can use this value to optimize transmission or prepare the communication channel for real-time communication. This value might be overruled by the transport protocol if it can make a better guess. The interpretation of data_size is transport specific. It may be bytes, it may be something else. Leave this value set to zero, unless the transport documents otherwise.
Definition at line 174 of file ConnPolicy.hpp.
If true, one should initialize the connection's value with the last value written on the writer port. This is only possible if the writer port has the keepsLastWrittenValue() flag set (i.e. if it remembers what was the last written value).

std::string RTT::ConnPolicy::name_id [mutable] |
The name of this connection. May be used by transports to define a 'topic' or lookup name to connect two data streams. If you leave this empty (recommended), the protocol will choose an appropriate name itself. Only specify a name to work around name clashes or if the transport protocol documents to do so.

If true, then the sink will have to pull data. Otherwise, it is pushed from the source. In both cases, the reader side is notified that new data is available by base::ChannelElementBase::signal()
