Detailed Description

template<class T>
class RTT::DataObjectPriorityGet< T >

A DataObject which allows only the high priority thread to Get(), and both low and high priorities to Set().

A class which provides locked/protected access to one typed element of data, where the locking is optimised for Low priority thread writes and High priority thread reads. The Get() operation is always non blocking.

Warning:: This DataObject can only be used in a two thread with distinct static priority model

     * The following Truth table applies when a Low Priority thread is
     * preempted by a High Priority thread :
     *
     *   L\H | Set | Get |
     *   Set | NA  | Ok  |
     *   Get | Blk | Ok  |
     *
     * legend : L : Low Priority thread
     *          H : High Priority thread
     *          Blk: Blocks High Priority thread (bad!)
     *          NA : Not allowed !
     *

If only one thread accesses the DataObject simultaneously (e.g. single threaded systems), then the Get() and Set() methods will never block.

Invariant:: The Set() context has a strictly lower priority than the Get() context.; Get() never blocks.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class T >

RTT::DataObjectPriorityGet< T >::DataObjectPriorityGet	(	const std::string &	_name,
		const T &	initial_value = `T()`
	)			`[inline]`

Construct a DataObjectPriorityGet by name.

Parameters:

Member Function Documentation

template<class T >

DataObjectPriorityGet<DataType>* RTT::DataObjectPriorityGet< T >::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::AssignableDataSource< T >.

Definition at line 442 of file DataObjectInterfaces.hpp.

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

Compose the contents of this object from another datasource.

See also:: TypeInfo

template<class T >

DataObjectPriorityGet<DataType>* RTT::DataObjectPriorityGet< T >::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::AssignableDataSource< T >.

Definition at line 446 of file DataObjectInterfaces.hpp.

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.

template<>

RTT_API bool RTT::DataSource< bool >::evaluate ( ) const [inline, 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.

template<typename T >

bool RTT::DataSource< T >::evaluate ( ) const [inline, 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.

template<class T >

const std::string& RTT::DataObjectPriorityGet< T >::getName ( void ) const [inline, virtual]

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

Reimplemented in RTT::Corba::ExpressionProxy.

template<class T>

virtual AssignableDataSource<DataType>::const_reference_t RTT::DataObjectInterface< T >::rvalue ( ) const [inline, virtual, inherited]

Get a const reference (or null) to the value of this DataSource.

Getting a reference to an internal data structure is not thread-safe. DataSources which wish to protect their data from concurrent access may return the null reference with this method. All calls to rvalue() must first check whether they do not return null.

Implements RTT::AssignableDataSource< T >.

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.

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 :)
