You'll need to be more specific. What exactly did you do, what did not
work, which error messages did you get, which version, platform...

Re: [Orocos-Dev] DataPorts templates
Hi,
I'm using the RTT and OCL-1.8.2 with RTAI/Linux.
I only want to make a DataPort with a long int type. I create a component with this type of DataPort and in the updateHook function, I set it with a value. Then, I use the deployer to start the system with this component and the ReporterFile. The ReporterFile is connected to my component to report that DataPort. But the reporter don't log this port. Using the TaskBrowser, I can see the DataPort in my component as:
Data Flow Ports:
W(C) unknown_t Count = (unknown_t)
If I try this, a error occurs:
In Task Sampler[R]. (Status of last Command : none )
(type 'ls' for context info) :Count.Set(1)
Got :Count.Set(1)
Wrong type of argument provided for argument number 1 in call of function "this.Set". Expected type unknown_t const&, got type int.
This is the code: count;
How I declare the port
WriteDataPort
How I initialize the port
count("Count",0),
How I add the port
this->ports()->addPort(&count);
How I write to port
void Sampler::updateHook()
{
long int a=4;
count.Set(a);
}

This means the 'long int' type is not known to the Orocos type system.
If int is not what you want, you need to add 'long int' yourself. As
described in http://www.orocos.org/stable/documentation/rtt/v1.8.x/doc-xml/orocos-too...
You'll also need to specify constructors and type conversions in order
to integrate it with the other types. For example, the scripting will
read '12' always as an int, so 'var long ml = 3' won't work
automatically. If you only want reporting + display using the
TaskBrowser, just add
In the constructor of a component you load early on.

IIRC xerces is optional? Isn't it possible to use an alternative,
though less capable, XML tool? The only error they got is that
"ERROR ... property int XXX not found in source" listed below.
64-bit ... I would think that some of us would already be there and
would already have hit problems?

It looked like this, yes, if my aging and overloaded brain is
remembering correctly ...

It is optional, but you'll need to write correct XML files then. the
alternative does not do validation, so the error is only detected
later on. At least, I think this is what bite you...

CORBA says short = 16 bit, long = 32 bit, long long = 64 bit. We only
'support' short and long and map both to 'int' which is 32 or 64 bit.
On the other hand, we write int as CORBA 'long' to disk, which is
wrong on 64bit systems.

I've been bitten by it, but simply made orogen forcefully reject XML
marshalling of anything that includes 64 bit types -- due to lack of
time/laziness of my part to add 64 bits to the Orocos type system.

No, it is right on all systems. "long" changes size between 32 and 64 bits
systems, not "int". I guess they did that so that all programs that were
assuming that int was 32bit would still work on 64 bits ...

On a similar note, why is it that "int" is not a known type to the
type/property system? And that "short" is known to the type/property
system, and can be converted to "int" properties transparently.
A colleague has just spent hours tracking down a bug, that simply
turned out to be an "int" property in the class but that needed to be
a "short" type in the XML property file. When they put "int" as a
property, the XML type reading system doesn't complain of the type but
complains that it can't find the property instead
{{{
5.725 [ ERROR ][refreshProperties] Could not find Property int XXX in
source.
5.725 [ ERROR ][refreshProperties] Could not find Property int YYY in
source.
}}}
I vaguely remember seeing commented out code for either "int" or "long
int" within the type/property system, and I'm curious what the cause
of the omission was.

Ok, I see. It seems that the current scripting layer does not support
long types, which are commented out in
StateMachineProcessor:144. Maybe Peter can comment on this.

This look ok. Maybe you can use "unsigned int" as a temporary
workaround?
