scripting support std::vector<T>

RTT-dev

Hi,

i'm implementing scripting support for std::vector,

i already have two types of contructors and the index operator working:

templateList(size)
templateList(size,elem)
list[i]

giving me the following results for a stringList and a boolList:

(type 'ls' for context info) :stringList(3)
Got :stringList(3)
= [ , , ]

(type 'ls' for context info) :stringList(3,"test")
Got :stringList(3,"test")
= [ test ,test ,test ]

(type 'ls' for context info) :stringList(3,"test")[2]
Got :stringList(3,"test")[2]
= test

(type 'ls' for context info) :boolList(3)
Got :boolList(3)
= [ 0 ,0 ,0 ]

(type 'ls' for context info) :boolList(3,true)
Got :boolList(3,true)
= [ 1 ,1 ,1 ]

(type 'ls' for context info) :boolList(3,true)[2]
Got :boolList(3,true)[2]
= true

but i cannot get the constructor

templatList = [elem1,elem2,elem3] to work,

i checked the code for the RTT type array and adapted it. But i cannot
get it to compile, this is the code:

template
struct StdVectorBuilder
: public TypeBuilder
{
virtual DataSourceBase::shared_ptr build(const
std::vector& args) const {
if (args.size() == 0 )
return DataSourceBase::shared_ptr();
NArityDataSource >::shared_ptr vds =
new NArityDataSource >();
for(unsigned int i=0; i != args.size(); ++i) {
DataSource::shared_ptr dsd = AdaptDataSource()(
args[i] );
if (dsd)
vds->add( dsd );
else
return DataSourceBase::shared_ptr();
}
return vds;
}
};

and the compile error:

/home/rsmits/orocos/ocl-pma/ocl/VectorTemplateComposition.hpp: In member
function 'virtual boost::intrusive_ptr
RTT::StdVectorBuilder::build(const
std::vector,
std::allocator > >&) const':
/home/rsmits/orocos/ocl-pma/ocl/VectorTemplateComposition.hpp:198: error:
expected `;' before 'vds'
/home/rsmits/orocos/ocl-pma/ocl/VectorTemplateComposition.hpp:200:
error: expected `;' before 'dsd'

i think there is something wrong with this line 198:
NArityDataSource >::shared_ptr vds = new
NArityDataSource >();

but i have no idea what is wrong. Can anyone help me out?

Be sure to talk new syntax through on the mailinglist before you go to far
with your implementation... Are you registering 'stringList' below as a type
name ?

Since T is a template argument, the compiler does not know yet
what ::shared_ptr is: is it a variable or a type ? By default, the compiler
assumes it is a variable. In order to say that shared_ptr is a type, use:

typename NArityDataSource >::shared_ptr vds = new
NArityDataSource >();

The implementation is complete for as far as i know, std::vector
can now be used in scripting the same way as array (a
std::vector).

The needed types are now registered as List and have three kinds of
constructors: List(size), List(size,elem),
List(elem1,elem2,...,elemN) and a index operator List[i].

I tested all of it for a stringList and a boolList, if there are other
suggestions for the registered names, please let me know. All the code
is committed in the ocl-pma branch. Should i open a bug/project for
the patch or just send it to the mailinglist?

Thanks, it works like a sharm.

I suggest you open a bug report. You can submit the attachment at the same
page where you open the bug.

My only remark is that the naming doesn't feel 'consistent': we then have
array, boolList and stringList. Maybe 'bools' and 'strings' would be better ?

[Bug 513] New: [Project] Add scripting support for std::vector<T

Submitted by Ruben Smits on Thu, 2008-02-14 11:25.

For more infomation about this bug, visit
Summary: [Project] Add scripting support for std::vector
Product: OCL
Version: trunk
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: project
Priority: P2
Component: Other
AssignedTo: orocos-dev [..] ...
ReportedBy: ruben [dot] smits [..] ...
CC: orocos-dev [..] ...
Estimated Hours: 0.0

The patch contains two files:

VectorTemplateComposition.hpp: contains all templated code
ocltoolkit.cpp: contains the specific addition of the constructors and
operators for a specific type

Some remarks: The typename of a std::vector is "list" and always the same
for all kinds of T. The composition and decomposition works but all
PropertyBags get the same name ("list"). In contrast with the typenames in the
scripting support which all have (for now) List as typename. Maybe it
is desirable to have the same names for the properties and the scripting-types.
But i have not yet found a way how to do this.

The scripting support is automatically loaded if liborocos-ocl-common-
is linked with your application.

In the ocl-pma branch i added a dependency of liborocos-taskbrowser to
liborocos-ocl-common to make the scripting support available when using the
deployer executable. I do not know if this is desirable, but I think it is a
nice solution until the deployer can load RTT-plugins.

Can i commit this to trunk/ocl, or should i add the header
VectorTemplateComposition.hpp to rtt and only commit the rest on ocl?

the names for the types are: T-name+s -> doubles, bools, strings, etc.

I think the files already exist in the source

For me it is the same. I would suggest that the header is added to RTT. As long
as no support for a type is added this adds no object size, but the user can
easily add his own type using a header from RTT instead of OCL.

I looked at the object size of liborocos-ocl-common compiled with buildtype
OCL(=RTT) and came to the following object sized:

Adding no support: 17K
Only for bools: 377K
Only for strings: 406K
Only for doubles: 395K
Only for ints: 335K
All previous: 1.3M

So i guess we should only add support for doubles in RTT(which replaces the
current array), and leave the rest to the user or OCL

This patch is against files which were not attached yet to this bug report.

A question remains if this is for OCL or RTT... from a new user's point of
view, it is not clear why these types are in OCL and the other are in RTT.
What's the object size of this additional code ?

Ik ben zeker voorstander om die code in RTT toe te voegen ipv in OCL, want dan
kan ik die ook makkelijker in de kdltoolkit gebruiken. Liever vroeg dan laat
dus.

Enig idee hoe ik die object size kan bepalen?
