Detailed Description

The base class for all internal data representations.

The internal::DataSource is an object containing Data of any type. It's interface is designed for dynamic build-up and destruction of these objects and allowing Commands, Properties etc to use them as 'storage' devices which have the dual copy() /clone() semantics (which is heavily used by the Orocos type and scripting Infrastructure).

internal::DataSource's are reference counted and must be allocated on the heap. Use DataSourceBase::shared_ptr or internal::DataSource<T>::shared_ptr to deal with cleanup of allocated DataSources. You are not allowed to delete a DataSource. If you must have the pointer of a internal::DataSource, use the .get() method of the shared_ptr class.

Once a newly created internal::DataSource is assigned to a shared_ptr, it will be deleted when that pointer goes out of scope and is not shared by other shared_ptr objects.

Member Function Documentation

virtual DataSourceBase* RTT::base::DataSourceBase::clone ( ) const
pure virtual

Return a shallow clone of this DataSource. This method returns a duplicate of this instance which re-uses the DataSources this internal::DataSource holds reference to. The clone() function is thus a non-deep copy.

virtual DataSourceBase* RTT::base::DataSourceBase::copy ( std::map< const DataSourceBase *, DataSourceBase * > &  alreadyCloned) const
pure virtual

Create a deep copy of this internal::DataSource, unless it is already cloned. Places the association (parent, clone) in alreadyCloned. If the internal::DataSource is non-copyable (for example it represents the Property of a Task ), this may be returned.

void RTT::DataSourceBase::deref ( ) const

Decrease the reference count by one and delete this on zero.

Definition at line 81 of file DataSource.cpp.

virtual bool RTT::base::DataSourceBase::evaluate ( ) const
pure virtual

Force an evaluation of the DataSourceBase.

Returns
true on successful evaluation.

DataSourceBase::shared_ptr RTT::DataSourceBase::getMember ( const std::string &  member_name)
virtual

Get a (const) reference data source to a member of the structure of this data source. You must call getMember() in turn on the returned member to access sub-members.

Parameters
member_nameThe name of the member to get access to.
Returns
null if the member does not exist, this if member_name.empty(), and a reference data source to the member otherwise.

Definition at line 124 of file DataSource.cpp.

DataSourceBase::shared_ptr RTT::DataSourceBase::getMember ( DataSourceBase::shared_ptr  member_id,
DataSourceBase::shared_ptr  offset 
)
virtual

Same as above, but with run-time lookup of the member to use. Also takes an optional offset argument which can be used to offset the member in memory. This is necessary when using sequences of sequences. DataSources which are a sequence/offset member themselves must override this function to let the returned member take the offset into account.

Definition at line 130 of file DataSource.cpp.

vector< string > RTT::DataSourceBase::getMemberNames ( ) const
virtual

Returns the names of all members of the structure contained in this data source, or an empty list if none. If this data source is a sequence, it will not return the allowed index numbers.

Definition at line 134 of file DataSource.cpp.

DataSourceBase::shared_ptr RTT::DataSourceBase::getParent ( )
virtual

Returns the top level data source that contains the full data structure this data source refers to. Defaults to returning this.

In case the internal::DataSource returns a 'reference' type, call this method to notify it that the data was updated in the course of an invocation of get().

Member Data Documentation

os::AtomicInt RTT::base::DataSourceBase::refcount
mutableprotected

We keep the refcount ourselves. We aren't using boost::shared_ptr, because boost::intrusive_ptr is better, exactly because it can be used with refcounts that are stored in the class itself. Advantages are that the shared_ptr's for derived classes use the same refcount, which is of course very much desired, and that refcounting happens in an efficient way, which is also nice :)
