Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class RTT::internal::ActionAliasDataSource< T >

A DataSource which is used to execute an action and then return the value of another DataSource.

Parameters:
TThe result data type of get().

Definition at line 516 of file DataSources.hpp.


Member Function Documentation

template<typename T >
virtual ActionAliasDataSource<T>* RTT::internal::ActionAliasDataSource< 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 internal::DataSource holds reference to. The clone() function is thus a non-deep copy.

Implements RTT::internal::DataSource< T >.

Definition at line 561 of file DataSources.hpp.

template<typename T >
virtual ActionAliasDataSource<T>* RTT::internal::ActionAliasDataSource< T >::copy ( std::map< const base::DataSourceBase *, base::DataSourceBase * > &  alreadyCloned) const [inline, virtual]

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

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

Implements RTT::internal::DataSource< T >.

Definition at line 564 of file DataSources.hpp.

References RTT::base::ActionInterface::copy().

template<typename T >
bool RTT::internal::ActionAliasDataSource< T >::evaluate ( ) const [inline, virtual]

Force an evaluation of the DataSourceBase.

Returns:
true on successful evaluation.

Reimplemented from RTT::internal::DataSource< T >.

Definition at line 530 of file DataSources.hpp.

References RTT::base::ActionInterface::execute(), RTT::base::ActionInterface::readArguments(), and RTT::base::ActionInterface::reset().

DataSourceBase::shared_ptr RTT::DataSourceBase::getMember ( const std::string &  member_name) [virtual, inherited]

Get a (const) reference data source to a member of the structure of this data source.

You must call getMember() in turn on the returned member to access sub-members.

Parameters:
member_nameThe name of the member to get access to.
Returns:
null if the member does not exist, this if member_name.empty(), and a reference data source to the member otherwise.

Definition at line 124 of file DataSource.cpp.

References RTT::types::TypeInfo::getMember(), and RTT::base::DataSourceBase::getTypeInfo().

Same as above, but with run-time lookup of the member to use.

Also takes an optional offset argument which can be used to offset the member in memory. This is necessary when using sequences of sequences. DataSources which are a sequence/offset member themselves must override this function to let the returned member take the offset into account.

Definition at line 130 of file DataSource.cpp.

References RTT::types::TypeInfo::getMember(), and RTT::base::DataSourceBase::getTypeInfo().

vector< string > RTT::DataSourceBase::getMemberNames ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Returns the names of all members of the structure contained in this data source, or an empty list if none.

If this data source is a sequence, it will not return the allowed index numbers.

Definition at line 134 of file DataSource.cpp.

References RTT::types::TypeInfo::getMemberNames(), and RTT::base::DataSourceBase::getTypeInfo().

Returns the top level data source that contains the full data structure this data source refers to.

Defaults to returning this.

Definition at line 138 of file DataSource.cpp.

template<>
void const * RTT::internal::DataSource< void >::getRawConstPointer ( ) [inline, virtual, inherited]

Returns a const pointer to the sample contained in this data source, if there is any.

Returns 0 otherwise

Reimplemented from RTT::base::DataSourceBase.

Definition at line 59 of file DataSource.inl.

void * RTT::DataSourceBase::getRawPointer ( ) [virtual, inherited]
bool RTT::DataSourceBase::isAssignable ( ) const [virtual, inherited]
template<typename T >
DataSource<T>::const_reference_t RTT::internal::ActionAliasDataSource< T >::rvalue ( ) const [inline, virtual]

Get a const reference to the value of this DataSource.

You must call evaluate() prior to calling this function in order to get the most recent value of this attribute.

Note:
Getting a reference to an internal data structure is not thread-safe.

Implements RTT::internal::DataSource< T >.

Definition at line 554 of file DataSources.hpp.

Returns a const shared_ptr to a DataSourceBase living on the stack.

Make sure that the const_ptr does not outlive the stacked element.

Definition at line 74 of file DataSource.cpp.

References RTT::base::DataSourceBase::ref().

Returns a shared ptr to a DataSourceBase living on the stack.

Make sure that the shared_ptr does not outlive the stacked element.

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

Get the contents of this object as a string.

bool RTT::DataSourceBase::update ( DataSourceBase other) [virtual, inherited]
template<typename T >
DataSource<T>::result_t RTT::internal::ActionAliasDataSource< T >::value ( ) const [inline, virtual]

Return the result of the last evaluate() function.

You must call evaluate() prior to calling this function in order to get the most recent value of this attribute.

Implements RTT::internal::DataSource< T >.

Definition at line 549 of file DataSources.hpp.

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

Stream the contents of this object.

Member Data Documentation

os::AtomicInt RTT::base::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 :)
