HelloWorld_publisher.cxx

RTI Connext Publication Example

The publication example generated by rtiddsgen. The example has been modified slightly to update the sample value.

HelloWorld_publisher.cxx

/* HelloWorld_publisher.cxx
A publication of data of type HelloWorld
This file is derived from code automatically generated by the rtiddsgen
command:
rtiddsgen -language C++ -example <arch> HelloWorld.idl
Example publication of type HelloWorld automatically generated by
'rtiddsgen'. To test them follow these steps:
(1) Compile this file and the example subscription.
(2) Start the subscription on the same domain used for RTI Connext with the command
objs/<arch>/HelloWorld_subscriber <domain_id> <sample_count>
(3) Start the publication on the same domain used for RTI Connext with the command
objs/<arch>/HelloWorld_publisher <domain_id> <sample_count>
(4) [Optional] Specify the list of discovery initial peers and
multicast receive addresses via an environment variable or a file
(in the current working directory) called NDDS_DISCOVERY_PEERS.
You can run any number of publishers and subscribers programs, and can
add and remove them dynamically from the domain.
Example:
To run the example application on domain <domain_id>:
On Unix:
objs/<arch>/HelloWorld_publisher <domain_id>
objs/<arch>/HelloWorld_subscriber <domain_id>
On Windows:
objs<arch>\HelloWorld_publisher <domain_id>
objs<arch>\HelloWorld_subscriber <domain_id>
