Use Modern C++ Types Correctly

Submitted by alexc on Tue, 08/18/2020 - 14:26

To use the Modern C++ Connext DDS API correctly you need to understand its type system. Most types in the API belong into two categories:

- Value types

- Reference types

Value types have deep-copy semantics, while Reference types behave like shared pointers.

Make sure to read the Conventions section in the Modern C++ API Reference for more information.

FYI, the Conventions link above, which is set to the following:

appears to be broken
