Detailed Description

<<interface>> <<generic>> User data type specific interface.

Defines the user data type specific interface generated for each application class.

The concrete user data type automatically generated by the implementation is an incarnation of this class.

Member Function Documentation

static DDS_ReturnCode_t FooTypeSupport::register_type ( DDSDomainParticipant participant,
const char *  type_name 
) [static]

Allows an application to communicate to RTI Connext the existence of a data type.

The generated implementation of the operation embeds all the knowledge that has to be communicated to the middleware in order to make it able to manage the contents of data of that type. This includes in particular the key definition that will allow RTI Connext to distinguish different instances of the same type.

The same DDSTypeSupport can be registered multiple times with a DDSDomainParticipant using the same or different values for the type_name. If register_type is called multiple times on the same DDSTypeSupport with the same DDSDomainParticipant and type_name, the second (and subsequent) registrations are ignored by the operation fails with DDS_RETCODE_OK.

Precondition:
Cannot use the same type_name to register two different DDSTypeSupport with the same DDSDomainParticipant, or else the operation will fail and DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET will be returned.
Parameters:
participant <<in>> the DDSDomainParticipant to register the data type Foo with. Cannot be NULL.
type_name <<in>> the type name under with the data type Foo is registered with the participant; this type name is used when creating a new DDSTopic. (See DDSDomainParticipant::create_topic.) The name may not be NULL or longer than 255 characters.
Returns:
One of the Standard Return Codes, DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET or DDS_RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES.
MT Safety:
UNSAFE on the FIRST call. It is not safe for two threads to simultaneously make the first call to register a type. Subsequent calls are thread safe.

DDSDomainParticipant::create_topic

static DDS_ReturnCode_t FooTypeSupport::unregister_type ( DDSDomainParticipant participant,
const char *  type_name 
) [static]

Allows an application to unregister a data type from RTI Connext. After calling unregister_type, no further communication using that type is possible.

The generated implementation of the operation removes all the information about a type from RTI Connext. No further communication using that type is possible.

Precondition:
A type with type_name is registered with the participant and all DDSTopic objects referencing the type have been destroyed. If the type is not registered with the participant, or if any DDSTopic is associated with the type, the operation will fail with DDS_RETCODE_ERROR.
Postcondition:
All information about the type is removed from RTI Connext. No further communication using this type is possible.
Parameters:
participant <<in>> the DDSDomainParticipant to unregister the data type Foo from. Cannot be NULL.
type_name <<in>> the type name under with the data type Foo is registered with the participant. The name should match a name that has been previously used to register a type with the participant. Cannot be NULL.
Returns:
One of the Standard Return Codes, DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER or DDS_RETCODE_ERROR
MT Safety:
SAFE.

Returns:
One of the Standard Return Codes
