template<class T >
size_type RTT::base::BufferLockFree< T >::capacity ( ) const [inline, virtual, inherited]

Returns the maximum number of items that can be stored in the buffer.

Returns:
maximum number of items.

template<class T >
void RTT::base::BufferLockFree< T >::clear ( ) [inline, virtual, inherited]

Clears all contents of this buffer.

template<class T >
virtual void RTT::base::BufferLockFree< T >::data_sample ( const T &  sample) [inline, virtual, inherited]

Initializes this buffer with a data sample, such that for dynamical allocated types T, the buffer can reserve place to hold these elements.

Postcondition:
Calling this function causes all data in the buffer to be lost and the size being reset to zero.

template<class T >
bool RTT::base::BufferLockFree< T >::empty ( ) const [inline, virtual, inherited]

Check if this buffer is empty.

Returns:
true if size() == 0

References RTT::internal::AtomicMWSRQueue< T >::isEmpty().

template<class T >
bool RTT::base::BufferLockFree< T >::full ( ) const [inline, virtual, inherited]

Check if this buffer is full.

Returns:
true if size() == capacity()

template<class T >
bool RTT::base::BufferLockFree< T >::Pop ( reference_t  item) [inline, virtual, inherited]

Read the oldest value from the buffer.

Parameters:
itemis to be set with a value from the buffer.
Returns:
true if something was read.

template<class T >
size_type RTT::base::BufferLockFree< T >::Pop ( std::vector< T > &  items) [inline, virtual, inherited]

Read the whole buffer.

Parameters:
itemsis to be filled with all values in the buffer, with items.begin() the oldest value.
Returns:
the number of items read.

template<class T >
value_t* RTT::base::BufferLockFree< T >::PopWithoutRelease ( ) [inline, virtual, inherited]

Returns a pointer to the first element in the buffer.

The pointer is only garanteed to stay valid until the next pop operation.

Note the pointer needs the be released by calling Release on the buffer.

Returns:
a pointer to a sample or Zero if buffer is empty

Implements RTT::base::BufferInterface< T >.

template<class T >
bool RTT::base::BufferLockFree< T >::Push ( param_t  item) [inline, virtual, inherited]

Write a single value to the buffer.

Parameters:
itemthe value to write
Returns:
false if the buffer is full.
