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 (so use new()). 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 124 of file TypeInfoRepository.cpp.

bool RTT::TypeInfoRepository::addType ( TypeInfoGenerator * tig )

Add a type by using a type info generator.

This class is responsible for installing the TypeInfo object, registering the name and installing the necessary factories.

Definition at line 138 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 172 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.
