Detailed Description

template<typename function>
class RTT::BinaryDataSource< function >

A generic binary composite DataSource.

It takes a function object which is a model of the STL Adaptable Binary Function concept, and two DataSource's with result types matching the argument types of the given function. Its get() method then applies the function to the results of the get() methods of the two DataSource's given.

The parser system uses a hell of a lot of these for evaluating expressions, comparisons etc. I must say I think this is pretty cool ;) C++ rocks ! ;)

Member Function Documentation

template<typename function >
virtual BinaryDataSource<function>* RTT::BinaryDataSource< function >::clone (  )  const [inline, virtual]

Return a shallow clone of this DataSource.

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

Implements RTT::DataSource< function::result_type >.

Definition at line 377 of file DataSources.hpp.

References RTT::DataSource< T >::get().

bool RTT::DataSourceBase::composeType ( DataSourceBase::shared_ptr  source  )  [inherited]

Compose the contents of this object from another datasource.

See also:
TypeInfo
template<typename function >
virtual BinaryDataSource<function>* RTT::BinaryDataSource< function >::copy ( std::map< const DataSourceBase *, DataSourceBase * > &  alreadyCloned  )  const [inline, virtual]

Create a deep copy of this DataSource, unless it is already cloned.

Places the association (parent, clone) in alreadyCloned. If the DataSource is non-copyable (for example it represents the Property of a Task ), this may be returned.

Implements RTT::DataSource< function::result_type >.

Definition at line 382 of file DataSources.hpp.

References RTT::DataSource< T >::copy().

virtual void* RTT::DataSourceBase::createBlob ( int  protocol  )  [virtual, inherited]

Creates a transportable data object with the current value of this DataSource.

This does not trigger the evaluation() of this data source.

Returns:
a valid object or nill if this type is not supported.

Reimplemented in RTT::Corba::ExpressionProxy.

Referenced by RTT::Corba::CorbaDataObjectProxy< T >::Set().

bool RTT::DataSourceBase::decomposeType ( PropertyBag targetbag  )  [inherited]

Decompose the contents of this object into properties.

See also:
TypeInfo
virtual bool RTT::DataSource< function::result_type >::evaluate (  )  const [virtual, inherited]

Force an evaluation of the DataSourceBase.

Returns:
true on successful evaluation. If the DataSource itself contains a boolean, return that boolean.

Implements RTT::DataSourceBase.

virtual void* RTT::DataSourceBase::getBlob ( int  protocol  )  [virtual, inherited]

Creates a transportable data object with the current value of this DataSource.

This does trigger the evaluation() of this data source. Equivalent to this->evaluate(); this->createBlob();

Returns:
a valid object or nill if this type is not supported.

Reimplemented in RTT::Corba::ExpressionProxy.

virtual void* RTT::DataSourceBase::method ( int  protocol,
MethodC orig,
void *  arg 
) [virtual, inherited]

Create an object server which 'mirrors' this DataSource.

Returns:
The existing server if serverProtocol() == protocol, or a new method object reference otherwise.

Operations.idl

Reimplemented in RTT::Corba::ExpressionProxy.

virtual void* RTT::DataSourceBase::server ( int  protocol,
void *  arg 
) [virtual, inherited]
virtual int RTT::DataSourceBase::serverProtocol (  )  const [virtual, inherited]

Inspect if this DataSource is a proxy for a remote server object.

Returns:
0 if it is a local DataSource, or the protocol id if it is a proxy for a remove server.

Reimplemented in RTT::Corba::AnyDataSource, RTT::Corba::CORBAExpression< T >, RTT::Corba::CORBAExpression< void >, RTT::Corba::CORBAAssignableExpression< T >, and RTT::Corba::ExpressionProxy.

Referenced by RTT::AssignableDataSource< T >::narrow(), and RTT::DataSource< T >::narrow().

std::string RTT::DataSourceBase::toString (  )  [inherited]

Get the contents of this object as a string.

TypeInfo
virtual bool RTT::DataSourceBase::update ( DataSourceBase other  )  [virtual, inherited]
virtual bool RTT::DataSourceBase::updateBlob ( int  protocol,
const void *  data 
) [virtual, inherited]
virtual CommandInterface* RTT::DataSourceBase::updateCommand ( DataSourceBase other  )  [virtual, inherited]
virtual bool RTT::DataSourceBase::updatePart ( DataSourceBase part,
DataSourceBase other 
) [virtual, inherited]

Update part of the value of this DataSource with the value of an other DataSource.

Update does a partial update of the value, according to part, which is most likely an index or hash value of some type.

Returns:
false if the DataSources are of different type OR if the contents of this DataSource can not be partially updated.

Reimplemented in RTT::detail::AssignableDataSourceAdaptor< To const &, To >.

Referenced by RTT::detail::AssignableDataSourceAdaptor< To const &, To >::updatePart().

virtual CommandInterface* RTT::DataSourceBase::updatePartCommand ( DataSourceBase part,
DataSourceBase other 
) [virtual, inherited]

Generate a CommandInterface object which will partially update this DataSource with the value of another DataSource when execute()'ed.

part is an index or hash value of some type.

Returns:
zero if the DataSource types do not match OR if the contents of this DataSource can not be partially updated.

Reimplemented in RTT::Corba::CORBAAssignableExpression< T >, RTT::detail::AssignableDataSourceAdaptor< To const &, To >, and RTT::IndexedValueDataSource< T, Index, SetType, IPred, APred >.

Referenced by RTT::detail::AssignableDataSourceAdaptor< To const &, To >::updatePartCommand().

std::ostream& RTT::DataSourceBase::write ( std::ostream &  os  )  [inherited]

Stream the contents of this object.

OS::AtomicInt RTT::DataSourceBase::refcount [mutable, protected, inherited]

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 :)
