How to read DDS Sequence data in C++.

Below is the sample structure and C++ code i am using to read DDS Sequence Data.

Example IDL Structure Definition:

struct struct1{
enum1 enum_value;
float value;
};
enum enum1
{
ee1=1,
ee2=2,
ee3=3
};
struct num{
sequence<struct1,3> seq1;
};

 

Actual Values Received from DDS:(Example)
 num
 seq1
 enum_value xs:byte    bv: 1  // Value: 1
 value xs:float    bv: 30  // Value: 30

 seq1
 enum_value xs:byte    bv: 2  // Value: 2
 value  xs:float    bv: 35  // Value: 35

 seq1
 enum_value xs:byte    bv: 3  // Value: 3
 value  xs:float    bv: 40  // Value: 40

Code i used to read the DDS Sequence DATA:

struct1 * struct1Buffer = instance.num.struct1.get_contiguous_buffer();
printf("Enum: %d, Value:%f", struct1Buffer->enum_value,struct1Buffer->value);

After reading using get_contiguous_buffer, when i print the values, it always prints the 1st sequence data in the buffer.

OUTPUT:
struct1->enum_value  : 1
struct1->value       : 30

How do i read the next sequences for enum_value 2 and 3. With get_contiguous_buffer() always points to 1st sequence. Is there any other methods to read the further sequences?

Hi Balaramesh,

Have you checked out the Sequence support API?

You can access the different members with a loop. You can get the length of the sequence via the  FooSeq_get_length() method. Then you can access each of the objects via the  FooSeq_get() and  FooSeq_get_reference() methods.

I would use the buffer accessors (e.g. FooSeq_get_configuous_buffer) carefully, or avoid it if possible.

Thanks,

Juanlu
