Member Function Documentation

bool RTT::TypeInfoRepository::addType ( TypeInfo * ti )

Add a type to the Orocos type repository.

Parameters:

ti	A type info object that becomes owned by the TypeInfoRepository. It's name must be unique.

Returns:: false if ti was already added or if ti->getTypeName() already exists in this repository.

Definition at line 121 of file TypeInfoRepository.cpp.

bool RTT::TypeInfoRepository::aliasType	(	const std::string &	alias,
		TypeInfo *	source = `0`
	)

Alias a type in the Orocos type repository with a new type info object.

If alias has an existing type info object, it is deleted.

Parameters:

alias	The alias for source, i.e. when requesting the alias, the type info of source is returned.
source	The type info that represents 'orig' and 'alias'. Note that this is not the same as using addType() above, you still need source to be added with addType().

Definition at line 140 of file TypeInfoRepository.cpp.

std::vector< std::string > RTT::TypeInfoRepository::getTypes ( ) const

List all types registered with their original type name.

See getDottedTypes for the typenames written in the 'package.type' notation.

Definition at line 153 of file TypeInfoRepository.cpp.

TypeInfo * RTT::TypeInfoRepository::type ( const std::string & name ) const

Retrieve a type with a given name.

Parameters:

name	The type name as specified by the TypeInfo object, or it's dotted equivalent.
