Setting up a DataReader

Managing instances

Set up a DataReader to access received data

Accessing Received Data

Reading data samples

You can read data samples from a DataReader by receiving a loan, inspecting the samples and then returning the loan, or you can directly copy them.

Selecting what samples to read

The functions read() and take() select all samples in the DataReader queue. The function select() allows specifying different criteria about the data to read. A equivalent API, using the streaming >> operator is available too.

Reading samples using coherent access

If a Subscriber's PresentationQosPolicy access_scope is GROUP and ordered_access is true, the application can access the samples in order across DataWriters of the same group (Publisher with access_scope GROUP). The queue is ordered/sorted per topic across all instances belonging to DataWriters (or DataReaders) within the same Publisher (or Subscriber).

Using untyped DataReaders

When you want to hold a reference to a DataReader and the type T doesn't matter, you can use the class dds::sub::AnyDataReader, which provides type-independent methods.
