Member Function Documentation

InstanceHandle_t DDS::DynamicDataWriter::register_instance ( DynamicData^ instance_data )

Informs RTI Connext that the application will be modifying a particular instance.

This operation is only useful for keyed data types. Using it for non-keyed types causes no effect and returns DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL. The operation takes as a parameter an instance (of which only the key value is examined) and returns a handle that can be used in successive write() or dispose() operations.

The operation gives RTI Connext an opportunity to pre-configure itself to improve performance.

The use of this operation by an application is optional even for keyed types. If an instance has not been pre-registered, the application can use the special value DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL as the DDS::InstanceHandle_t paramater to the write or dispose operation and RTI Connext will auto-register the instance.

For best performance, the operation should be invoked prior to calling any operation that modifies the instance, such as DDS::TypedDataWriter::write, DDS::TypedDataWriter::write_w_timestamp, DDS::TypedDataWriter::dispose and DDS::TypedDataWriter::dispose_w_timestamp and the handle used in conjunction with the data for those calls.

When this operation is used, RTI Connext will automatically supply the value of the source_timestamp that is used.

This operation may fail and return DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL if DDS::ResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_instances limit has been exceeded.

The operation is idempotent. If it is called for an already registered instance, it just returns the already allocated handle. This may be used to lookup and retrieve the handle allocated to a given instance.

This operation can only be called after DDS::DataWriter has been enabled. Otherwise, DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL will be returned.

Parameters

instance_data <<in>> The instance that should be registered. Of this instance, only the fields that represent the key are examined by the function. Cannot be NULL..

Returns: For keyed data type, a handle that can be used in the calls that take a DDS::InstanceHandle_t, such as write, dispose, unregister_instance, or return DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL on failure. If the instance_data is of a data type that has no keys, this function always return DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL.

InstanceHandle_t DDS::DynamicDataWriter::register_instance_w_timestamp	(	DynamicData^	instance_data,
		DDS::Time_t%	source_timestamp
	)

Performs the same functions as register_instance except that the application provides the value for the source_timestamp.

The provided source_timestamp potentially affects the relative order in which readers observe events from multiple writers. Refer to DESTINATION_ORDER QoS policy for details.

This operation may fail and return DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL if DDS::ResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_instances limit has been exceeded.

This operation can only be called after DDS::DataWriter has been enabled. Otherwise, DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL will be returned.

Parameters

instance_data	<<in>> The instance that should be registered. Of this instance, only the fields that represent the key are examined by the function. Cannot be NULL.
source_timestamp	<<in>> The timestamp value must be greater than or equal to the timestamp value used in the last writer operation (used in a register, unregister, dispose, or write, with either the automatically supplied timestamp or the application provided timestamp). This timestamp may potentially affect the order in which readers observe events from multiple writers. Cannot be NULL.

Returns: For keyed data type, return a handle that can be used in the calls that take a DDS::InstanceHandle_t, such as write, dispose, unregister_instance, or return DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL on failure. If the instance_data is of a data type that has no keys, this function always return DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL.

See Also: DDS::TypedDataWriter::unregister_instance, DDS::TypedDataWriter::get_key_value

void DDS::DynamicDataWriter::unregister_instance	(	DynamicData^	instance_data,
		DDS::InstanceHandle_t%	handle
	)

Reverses the action of DDS::TypedDataWriter::register_instance.

This operation is useful only for keyed data types. Using it for non-keyed types causes no effect and reports no error. The operation takes as a parameter an instance (of which only the key value is examined) and a handle.

This operation should only be called on an instance that is currently registered. This includes instances that have been auto-registered by calling operations such as write or dispose as described in DDS::TypedDataWriter::register_instance. Otherwise, this operation may fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter.

This only need be called just once per instance, regardless of how many times register_instance was called for that instance.

When this operation is used, RTI Connext will automatically supply the value of the source_timestamp that is used.

This operation informs RTI Connext that the DDS::DataWriter is no longer going to provide any information about the instance. This operation also indicates that RTI Connext can locally remove all information regarding that instance. The application should not attempt to use the handle previously allocated to that instance after calling DDS::TypedDataWriter::unregister_instance().

The special value DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL can be used for the parameter handle. This indicates that the identity of the instance should be automatically deduced from the instance_data (by means of the key).

If handle is any value other than DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL, then it must correspond to an instance that has been registered. If there is no correspondence, the operation will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter.

RTI Connext will not detect the error when the handle is any value other than DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL, corresponds to an instance that has been registered, but does not correspond to the instance deduced from the instance_data (by means of the key). RTI Connext will treat as if the unregister_instance() operation is for the instance as indicated by the handle.

If after a DDS::TypedDataWriter::unregister_instance, the application wants to modify (DDS::TypedDataWriter::write or DDS::TypedDataWriter::dispose) an instance, it has to register it again, or else use the special handle value DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL.

This operation does not indicate that the instance is deleted (that is the purpose of DDS::TypedDataWriter::dispose). The operation DDS::TypedDataWriter::unregister_instance just indicates that the DDS::DataWriter no longer has anything to say about the instance. DDS::DataReader entities that are reading the instance may receive a sample with DDS::InstanceStateKind::NOT_ALIVE_NO_WRITERS_INSTANCE_STATE for the instance, unless there are other DDS::DataWriter objects writing that same instance.

This operation can affect the ownership of the data instance (see OWNERSHIP). If the DDS::DataWriter was the exclusive owner of the instance, then calling unregister_instance() will relinquish that ownership.

If DDS::ReliabilityQosPolicy::kind is set to ::DDS::ReliabilityQosPolicyKind::RELIABLE_RELIABILITY_QOS and the unregistration would overflow the resource limits of this writer or of a reader, this operation may block for up to DDS::ReliabilityQosPolicy::max_blocking_time; if this writer is still unable to unregister after that period, this method will fail with DDS::Retcode_Timeout.

Parameters

instance_data <<in>> The instance that should be unregistered. If Foo has a key and instance_handle is DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL, only the fields that represent the key are examined by the function. Otherwise, instance_data is not used. If instance_data is used, it must represent an instance that has been registerd. Otherwise, this method may fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter . If Foo has a key, instance_data can be NULL only if handle is not DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL. Otherwise, this method will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter.

handle <<in>> represents the instance to be unregistered. If Foo has a key and handle is DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL, handle is not used and instance is deduced from instance_data. If Foo has no key, handle is not used. If handle is used, it must represent an instance that has been registered. Otherwise, this method may fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter. This method will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter if handle is NULL. If Foo has a key, handle cannot be DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL if instance_data is NULL. Otherwise, this method will report the error DDS::Retcode_BadParameter.

Exceptions

One	of the Standard Return Codes, DDS::Retcode_Timeout or DDS::Retcode_NotEnabled

See Also: DDS::TypedDataWriter::register_instance; DDS::TypedDataWriter::unregister_instance_w_timestamp; DDS::TypedDataWriter::get_key_value; RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REGISTRATION, LIVELINESS and OWNERSHIP

void DDS::DynamicDataWriter::unregister_instance_w_timestamp	(	DynamicData^	instance_data,
		DDS::InstanceHandle_t%	handle,
		DDS::Time_t%	source_timestamp
	)

Performs the same function as DDS::TypedDataWriter::unregister_instance except that it also provides the value for the source_timestamp.

The provided source_timestamp potentially affects the relative order in which readers observe events from multiple writers. Refer to DESTINATION_ORDER QoS policy for details.

The constraints on the values of the handle parameter and the corresponding error behavior are the same specified for the DDS::TypedDataWriter::unregister_instance operation.

This operation may block and may time out (DDS::Retcode_Timeout) under the same circumtances described for the unregister_instance operation.

Parameters

instance_data	<<in>> The instance that should be unregistered. If Foo has a key and `instance_handle` is DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL, only the fields that represent the key are examined by the function. Otherwise, `instance_data` is not used. If `instance_data` is used, it must represent an instance that has been registerd. Otherwise, this method may fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter. If Foo has a key, `instance_data` can be NULL only if `handle` is not DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL. Otherwise, this method will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter.
handle	<<in>> represents the `instance` to be unregistered. If Foo has a key and `handle` is DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL, `handle` is not used and `instance` is deduced from `instance_data`. If Foo has no key, `handle` is not used. If `handle` is used, it must represent an instance that has been registered. Otherwise, this method may fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter. This method will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter if `handle` is NULL. If Foo has a key, `handle` cannot be DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL if `instance_data` is NULL. Otherwise, this method will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter.
source_timestamp	<<in>> The timestamp value must be greater than or equal to the timestamp value used in the last writer operation (used in a register, unregister, dispose, or write, with either the automatically supplied timestamp or the application provided timestamp). This timestamp may potentially affect the order in which readers observe events from multiple writers. Cannot be NULL.

Exceptions

One	of the Standard Return Codes, DDS::Retcode_Timeout or DDS::Retcode_NotEnabled.

See Also: DDS::TypedDataWriter::register_instance; DDS::TypedDataWriter::unregister_instance; DDS::TypedDataWriter::get_key_value

void DDS::DynamicDataWriter::write	(	DynamicData^	instance_data,
		DDS::InstanceHandle_t%	handle
	)

Modifies the value of a data instance.

When this operation is used, RTI Connext will automatically supply the value of the source_timestamp that is made available to DDS::DataReader objects by means of the source_timestamp attribute inside the DDS::SampleInfo. (Refer to DDS::SampleInfo and DESTINATION_ORDER QoS policy for details).

As a side effect, this operation asserts liveliness on the DDS::DataWriter itself, the DDS::Publisher and the DDS::DomainParticipant.

Note that the special value DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL can be used for the parameter handle. This indicates the identity of the instance should be automatically deduced from the instance_data (by means of the key).

If handle is any value other than DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL, then it must correspond to an instance that has been registered. If there is no correspondence, the operation will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter.

RTI Connext will not detect the error when the handle is any value other than DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL, corresponds to an instance that has been registered, but does not correspond to the instance deduced from the instance_data (by means of the key). RTI Connext will treat as if the write() operation is for the instance as indicated by the handle.

This operation may block if the RELIABILITY kind is set to ::DDS::ReliabilityQosPolicyKind::RELIABLE_RELIABILITY_QOS and the modification would cause data to be lost or else cause one of the limits specified in the RESOURCE_LIMITS to be exceeded.

Specifically, this operation may block in the following situations (note that the list may not be exhaustive), even if its ::DDS::HistoryQosPolicyKind is ::DDS::HistoryQosPolicyKind::KEEP_LAST_HISTORY_QOS:

If (DDS::ResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_samples < DDS::ResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_instances * DDS::HistoryQosPolicy::depth), then in the situation where the max_samples resource limit is exhausted, RTI Connext is allowed to discard samples of some other instance, as long as at least one sample remains for such an instance. If it is still not possible to make space available to store the modification, the writer is allowed to block.
If (DDS::ResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_samples < DDS::ResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_instances), then the DDS::DataWriter may block regardless of the DDS::HistoryQosPolicy::depth.
If (DDS::RtpsReliableWriterProtocol_t::min_send_window_size < DDS::ResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_samples), then it is possible for the send_window_size limit to be reached before RTI Connext is allowed to discard samples, in which case the DDS::DataWriter will block.

This operation may also block when using ::DDS::ReliabilityQosPolicyKind::BEST_EFFORT_RELIABILITY_QOS and ::DDS::PublishModeQosPolicyKind::ASYNCHRONOUS_PUBLISH_MODE_QOS. In this case, the DDS::DataWriter will queue samples until they are sent by the asynchronous publishing thread. The number of samples that can be stored is determined by the DDS::HistoryQosPolicy. If the asynchronous thread does not send samples fast enough (e.g., when using a slow DDS::FlowController), the queue may fill up. In that case, subsequent write calls will block.

If this operation does block for any of the above reasons, the RELIABILITY max_blocking_time configures the maximum time the write operation may block (waiting for space to become available). If max_blocking_time elapses before the DDS::DataWriter is able to store the modification without exceeding the limits, the operation will time out (DDS::Retcode_Timeout).

If there are no instance resources left, this operation may fail with DDS::Retcode_OutOfResources. Calling DDS::TypedDataWriter::unregister_instance may help freeing up some resources.

This operation will fail with DDS::Retcode_PreconditionNotMet if the timestamp is less than the timestamp used in the last writer operation (register, unregister, dispose, or write, with either the automatically supplied timestamp or the application-provided timestamp).

Parameters

instance_data <<in>> The data to write.

This method will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter if instance_data is NULL.

Parameters

handle <<in>> Either the handle returned by a previous call to DDS::TypedDataWriter::register_instance, or else the special value DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL. If Foo has a key and handle is not DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL, handle must represent a registered instance of type Foo. Otherwise, this method may fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter. This method will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter if handle is NULL.

Exceptions

One	of the Standard Return Codes, DDS::Retcode_Timeout, DDS::Retcode_PreconditionNotMet, DDS::Retcode_OutOfResources, or DDS::Retcode_NotEnabled.

void DDS::DynamicDataWriter::write_w_timestamp	(	DynamicData^	instance_data,
		DDS::InstanceHandle_t%	handle,
		DDS::Time_t%	source_timestamp
	)

Performs the same function as DDS::TypedDataWriter::write except that it also provides the value for the source_timestamp.

Explicitly provides the timestamp that will be available to the DDS::DataReader objects by means of the source_timestamp attribute inside the DDS::SampleInfo. (Refer to DDS::SampleInfo and DESTINATION_ORDER QoS policy for details)

The constraints on the values of the handle parameter and the corresponding error behavior are the same specified for the DDS::TypedDataWriter::write operation.

This operation may block and time out (DDS::Retcode_Timeout) under the same circumtances described for DDS::TypedDataWriter::write.

If there are no instance resources left, this operation may fail with DDS::Retcode_OutOfResources. Calling DDS::TypedDataWriter::unregister_instance may help free up some resources.

This operation may fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter under the same circumstances described for the write operation.

Parameters

instance_data	<<in>> The data to write. This method will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter if `instance_data` is NULL.
handle	<<in>> Either the handle returned by a previous call to DDS::TypedDataWriter::register_instance, or else the special value DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL. If Foo has a key and `handle` is not DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL, `handle` must represent a registered instance of type Foo. Otherwise, this method may fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter. This method will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter if `handle` is NULL.
source_timestamp	<<in>> When using ::DDS::DestinationOrderQosPolicyKind::BY_SOURCE_TIMESTAMP_DESTINATIONORDER_QOS the timestamp value must be greater than or equal to the timestamp value used in the last writer operation (register, unregister, dispose, or write, with either the automatically supplied timestamp or the application-provided timestamp) However, if it is less than the timestamp of the previous operation but the difference is less than the DDS::DestinationOrderQosPolicy::source_timestamp_tolerance, the timestamp of the previous operation will be used as the source timestamp of this sample. Otherwise, if the difference is greater than DDS::DestinationOrderQosPolicy::source_timestamp_tolerance, the function will return DDS::Retcode_BadParameter.

Cannot be NULL.

Exceptions

One	of the Standard Return Codes, DDS::Retcode_Timeout, DDS::Retcode_OutOfResources, or DDS::Retcode_NotEnabled.

See Also: DDS::TypedDataWriter::write; DDS::DataReader; DESTINATION_ORDER

void DDS::DynamicDataWriter::dispose	(	DynamicData^	instance_data,
		DDS::InstanceHandle_t%	instance_handle
	)

Requests the middleware to delete the data.

This operation is useful only for keyed data types. Using it for non-keyed types has no effect and reports no error.

The actual deletion is postponed until there is no more use for that data in the whole system.

Applications are made aware of the deletion by means of operations on the DDS::DataReader objects that already knew that instance. DDS::DataReader objects that didn't know the instance will never see it.

This operation does not modify the value of the instance. The instance_data parameter is passed just for the purposes of identifying the instance.

When this operation is used, RTI Connext will automatically supply the value of the source_timestamp that is made available to DDS::DataReader objects by means of the source_timestamp attribute inside the DDS::SampleInfo.

The constraints on the values of the handle parameter and the corresponding error behavior are the same specified for the DDS::TypedDataWriter::unregister_instance operation.

The special value DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL can be used for the parameter instance_handle. This indicates the identity of the instance should be automatically deduced from the instance_data (by means of the key).

If handle is any value other than DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL, then it must correspond to an instance that has been registered. If there is no correspondence, the operation will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter.

RTI Connext will not detect the error when the handle is any value other than DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL, corresponds to an instance that has been registered, but does not correspond to the instance deduced from the instance_data (by means of the key). RTI Connext will treat as if the dispose() operation is for the instance as indicated by the handle.

This operation may block and time out (DDS::Retcode_Timeout) under the same circumtances described for DDS::TypedDataWriter::write().

If there are no instance resources left, this operation may fail with DDS::Retcode_OutOfResources. Calling DDS::TypedDataWriter::unregister_instance may help freeing up some resources.

Parameters

instance_data <<in>> The data to dispose. If Foo has a key and instance_handle is DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL, only the fields that represent the key are examined by the function. Otherwise, instance_data is not used. If Foo has a key, instance_data can be NULL only if instance_handle is not DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL. Otherwise, this method will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter.

instance_handle <<in>> Either the handle returned by a previous call to DDS::TypedDataWriter::register_instance, or else the special value DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL. If Foo has a key and instance_handle is DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL, instance_handle is not used and instance is deduced from instance_data. If Foo has no key, instance_handle is not used. If handle is used, it must represent a registered instance of type Foo. Otherwise, this method fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter. This method will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter if handle is NULL. If Foo has a key, instance_handle cannot be DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL if instance_data is NULL. Otherwise, this method will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter.

Exceptions

One	of the Standard Return Codes, DDS::Retcode_Timeout, DDS::Retcode_OutOfResources or DDS::Retcode_NotEnabled.

void DDS::DynamicDataWriter::dispose_w_timestamp	(	DynamicData^	instance_data,
		DDS::InstanceHandle_t%	instance_handle,
		DDS::Time_t%	source_timestamp
	)

Performs the same functions as dispose except that the application provides the value for the source_timestamp that is made available to DDS::DataReader objects by means of the source_timestamp attribute inside the DDS::SampleInfo.

The constraints on the values of the handle parameter and the corresponding error behavior are the same specified for the DDS::TypedDataWriter::dispose operation.

This operation may block and time out (DDS::Retcode_Timeout) under the same circumtances described for DDS::TypedDataWriter::write.

If there are no instance resources left, this operation may fail with DDS::Retcode_OutOfResources. Calling DDS::TypedDataWriter::unregister_instance may help freeing up some resources.

Parameters

instance_data	<<in>> The data to dispose. If Foo has a key and `instance_handle` is DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL, only the fields that represent the key are examined by the function. Otherwise, `instance_data` is not used. If Foo has a key, `instance_data` can be NULL only if `instance_handle` is not DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL. Otherwise, this method will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter.
instance_handle	<<in>> Either the handle returned by a previous call to DDS::TypedDataWriter::register_instance, or else the special value DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL. If Foo has a key and `instance_handle` is DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL, `instance_handle` is not used and `instance` is deduced from `instance_data`. If Foo has no key, `instance_handle` is not used. If `handle` is used, it must represent a registered instance of type Foo. Otherwise, this method may fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter This method will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter if `handle` is NULL. If Foo has a key, `instance_handle` cannot be DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL if `instance_data` is NULL. Otherwise, this method will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter.
source_timestamp	<<in>> The timestamp value must be greater than or equal to the timestamp value used in the last writer operation (used in a register, unregister, dispose, or write, with either the automatically supplied timestamp or the application provided timestamp). This timestamp may potentially affect the order in which readers observe events from multiple writers. This timestamp will be available to the DDS::DataReader objects by means of the `source_timestamp` attribute inside the DDS::SampleInfo. Cannot be NULL.

Exceptions

One	of the Standard Return Codes, DDS::Retcode_Timeout, DDS::Retcode_OutOfResources or DDS::Retcode_NotEnabled.

See Also: DDS::TypedDataWriter::dispose

void DDS::DynamicDataWriter::get_key_value	(	DynamicData^	key_holder,
		DDS::InstanceHandle_t%	handle
	)

Retrieve the instance key that corresponds to an instance handle.

Useful for keyed data types.

The operation will only fill the fields that form the key inside the key_holder instance. If Foo has no key, this method has no effect and exit with no error.

For keyed data types, this operation may fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter if the handle does not correspond to an existing data-object known to the DDS::DataWriter.

Parameters

key_holder	<<inout>> a user data type specific key holder, whose `key` fields are filled by this operation. If Foo has no key, this method has no effect. This method will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter if `key_holder` is NULL.
handle	<<in>> the `instance` whose key is to be retrieved. If Foo has a key, `handle` must represent a registered instance of type Foo. Otherwise, this method will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter. If Foo has a key and `handle` is DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL, this method will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter. This method will fail with DDS::Retcode_BadParameter if `handle` is NULL.

Exceptions

One	of the Standard Return Codes or DDS::Retcode_NotEnabled.

See Also: DDS::TypedDataReader::get_key_value

InstanceHandle_t DDS::DynamicDataWriter::lookup_instance ( DynamicData^ key_holder )

Retrieve the instance handle that corresponds to an instance key_holder.

Useful for keyed data types.

This operation takes as a parameter an instance and returns a handle that can be used in subsequent operations that accept an instance handle as an argument. The instance parameter is only used for the purpose of examining the fields that define the key. This operation does not register the instance in question. If the instance has not been previously registered, or if for any other reason RTI Connext is unable to provide an instance handle, RTI Connext will return the special value HANDLE_NIL.

Parameters

key_holder <<in>> a user data type specific key holder.

Returns: the instance handle associated with this instance. If Foo has no key, this method has no effect and returns DDS::InstanceHandle_t::HANDLE_NIL
