Kinds of communication status.
Each concrete DDSEntity is associated with a set of Status objects whose value represents the communication status of that entity. Each status value can be accessed with a corresponding method on the DDSEntity.
When these status values change, the corresponding DDSStatusCondition objects are activated and the proper DDSListener objects are invoked to asynchronously inform the application.
An application is notified of communication status by means of the DDSListener or the DDSWaitSet / DDSCondition mechanism. The two mechanisms may be combined in the application (e.g., using DDSWaitSet (s) / DDSCondition (s) to access the data and DDSListener (s) to be warned asynchronously of erroneous communication statuses).
It is likely that the application will choose one or the other mechanism for each particular communication status (not both). However, if both mechanisms are enabled, then the DDSListener mechanism is used first and then the DDSWaitSet objects are signalled.
The statuses may be classified into:
Read communication statuses are treated slightly differently than the others because they don't change independently. In other words, at least two changes will appear at the same time (DDS_DATA_ON_READERS_STATUS and DDS_DATA_AVAILABLE_STATUS) and even several of the last kind may be part of the set. This 'grouping' has to be communicated to the application.
For each plain communication status, there is a corresponding structure to hold the status value. These values contain the information related to the change of status, as well as information related to the statuses themselves (e.g., contains cumulative counts).
Associated with each one of an DDSEntity's communication status is a logical StatusChangedFlag
. This flag indicates whether that particular communication status has changed since the last time the status was read by the application. The way the status changes is slightly different for the Plain Communication Status and the Read Communication status.
StatusChangedFlag
indicates if status has changedFor the plain communication status, the StatusChangedFlag
flag is initially set to FALSE. It becomes TRUE whenever the plain communication status changes and it is reset to DDS_BOOLEAN_FALSE each time the application accesses the plain communication status via the proper get_<plain communication status>()
operation on the DDSEntity.
The communication status is also reset to FALSE whenever the associated listener operation is called as the listener implicitly accesses the status which is passed as a parameter to the operation. The fact that the status is reset prior to calling the listener means that if the application calls the get_<plain communication status> from inside the listener it will see the status already reset.
An exception to this rule is when the associated listener is the 'nil' listener. The 'nil' listener is treated as a NOOP and the act of calling the 'nil' listener does not reset the communication status.
For example, the value of the StatusChangedFlag
associated with the DDS_REQUESTED_DEADLINE_MISSED_STATUS will become TRUE each time new deadline occurs (which increases DDS_RequestedDeadlineMissedStatus::total_count). The value changes to FALSE when the application accesses the status via the corresponding DDSDataReader::get_requested_deadline_missed_status method on the proper Entity
StatusChangedFlag
for plain communication statusFor the read communication status, the StatusChangedFlag
flag is initially set to FALSE. The StatusChangedFlag
becomes TRUE when either a data-sample arrives or else the DDS_ViewStateKind, DDS_SampleStateKind, or DDS_InstanceStateKind of any existing sample changes for any reason other than a call to FooDataReader::read, FooDataReader::take or their variants. Specifically any of the following events will cause the StatusChangedFlag
to become TRUE:
The arrival of new data.
A change in the DDS_InstanceStateKind of a contained instance. This can be caused by either:
Depending on the kind of StatusChangedFlag
, the flag transitions to FALSE again as follows:
StatusChangedFlag
becomes FALSE when either the corresponding listener operation (on_data_available) is called or the read or take operation (or their variants) is called on the associated DDSDataReader. StatusChangedFlag
becomes FALSE when any of the following events occurs: StatusChangedFlag

typedef DDS_UnsignedLong DDS_StatusMask |
A bit-mask (list) of concrete status types, i.e. DDS_StatusKind[].
The bit-mask is an efficient and compact representation of a fixed-length list of DDS_StatusKind values.
Bits in the mask correspond to different statuses. You can choose which changes in status will trigger a callback by setting the corresponding status bits in this bit-mask and installing callbacks for each of those statuses.
The bits that are true indicate that the listener will be called back for changes in the corresponding status.
For example:
or
enum DDS_StatusKind |
Type for status kinds.
Each concrete DDSEntity is associated with a set of *Status
objects whose values represent the communication status of that DDSEntity.
The communication statuses whose changes can be communicated to the application depend on the DDSEntity.
Each status value can be accessed with a corresponding method on the DDSEntity. The changes on these status values cause activation of the corresponding DDSStatusCondition objects and trigger invocation of the proper DDSListener objects to asynchronously inform the application. Note that not all statuses will activate the DDSStatusCondition or have a corresponding listener callback. Refer to the documentation of the individual statuses for that information.
Enumerator | |
---|---|
DDS_INCONSISTENT_TOPIC_STATUS | Another topic exists with the same name but different characteristics.
|
DDS_OFFERED_DEADLINE_MISSED_STATUS | The deadline that the DDSDataWriter has committed through its DDS_DeadlineQosPolicy was not respected for a specific instance.
|
DDS_REQUESTED_DEADLINE_MISSED_STATUS | The deadline that the DDSDataReader was expecting through its DDS_DeadlineQosPolicy was not respected for a specific instance.
|
DDS_OFFERED_INCOMPATIBLE_QOS_STATUS | A QosPolicy value was incompatible with what was requested.
|
DDS_REQUESTED_INCOMPATIBLE_QOS_STATUS | A QosPolicy value was incompatible with what is offered.
|
DDS_SAMPLE_LOST_STATUS | A sample has been lost (i.e., was never received).
|
DDS_SAMPLE_REJECTED_STATUS | A (received) sample has been rejected.
|
DDS_DATA_ON_READERS_STATUS | New data is available.
|
DDS_DATA_AVAILABLE_STATUS | One or more new data samples have been received.
|
DDS_LIVELINESS_LOST_STATUS | The liveliness that the DDSDataWriter has committed to through its DDS_LivelinessQosPolicy was not respected, thus DDSDataReader entities will consider the DDSDataWriter as no longer alive.
|
DDS_LIVELINESS_CHANGED_STATUS | The liveliness of one or more DDSDataWriter that were writing instances read through the DDSDataReader has changed. Some DDSDataWriter have become alive or not_alive.
|
DDS_PUBLICATION_MATCHED_STATUS | The DDSDataWriter has found DDSDataReader that matches the DDSTopic and has compatible QoS.
|
DDS_SUBSCRIPTION_MATCHED_STATUS | The DDSDataReader has found DDSDataWriter that matches the DDSTopic and has compatible QoS.
|
DDS_SERVICE_REQUEST_ACCEPTED_STATUS | <<extension>> A DDSDataWriter has been issued a DDS_ServiceRequest Enables a DDSDataWriter callback that is called when a DDS_ServiceRequest has been accepted and dispatched to the DataWriter.
|
DDS_DATA_WRITER_APPLICATION_ACKNOWLEDGMENT_STATUS | <<extension>> A DDSDataWriter has received an application-level acknowledgment for a sample Enables a DDSDataWriter callback that is called when an application-level acknowledgment from a DDSDataReader is received. The callback is called for each sample that is application-level acknowledged. Changes to this status do not trigger a DDSStatusCondition.
|
DDS_DATA_WRITER_INSTANCE_REPLACED_STATUS | <<extension>> A DDSDataWriter instance has been replaced Enables a DDSDataWriter callback that is called when an instance in the writer queue is replaced.
|
DDS_RELIABLE_WRITER_CACHE_CHANGED_STATUS | <<extension>> The number of unacknowledged samples in a reliable writer's cache has changed such that it has reached a pre-defined trigger point. This status is considered changed at the following times: the cache is empty (i.e. contains no unacknowledge samples), full (i.e. the sample count has reached the value specified in DDS_ResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_samples), or the number of samples has reached a high (see DDS_RtpsReliableWriterProtocol_t::high_watermark) or low (see DDS_RtpsReliableWriterProtocol_t::low_watermark) watermark.
|
DDS_RELIABLE_READER_ACTIVITY_CHANGED_STATUS | <<extension>> One or more reliable readers has become active or inactive. A reliable reader is considered active by a reliable writer with which it is matched if that reader acknowledges the samples it has been sent in a timely fashion. For the definition of "timely" in this case, see DDS_RtpsReliableWriterProtocol_t and DDS_ReliableReaderActivityChangedStatus. |
