Detailed Description

<<value-type>> Represents and IDL union type

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ DiscriminatorType

typedef UnionMember::DiscriminatorType dds::core::xtypes::UnionType::DiscriminatorType

The type used to set and get discriminator (label) values.

Note that this is different from discriminator(), which represents the discriminator type as defined in IDL.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ UnionType() [1/4]

dds::core::xtypes::UnionType::UnionType ( const std::string &  the_name,
const DynamicTypeImpl &  discriminator_type 
)
inline

Creates an empty union.

Members can be added after creation.

Parameters
the_nameThe name of the type
discriminator_typeThe type of the discriminator

◆ UnionType() [2/4]

template<typename Container >
dds::core::xtypes::UnionType::UnionType ( const std::string &  the_name,
const DynamicTypeImpl &  discriminator_type,
const Container &  the_members 
)
inline

Creates a union with the members in a container.

Template Parameters
ContainerA container that provides the member functions begin() and end() to iterate over UnionMember elements.
Parameters
the_nameThe name of the type
discriminator_typeThe type of the discriminator, which can be a primitive type, an EnumType or an AliasType to any of these.
the_membersA container with the members for this union type

◆ UnionType() [3/4]

template<typename MemberIter >
dds::core::xtypes::UnionType::UnionType ( const std::string &  the_name,
const DynamicTypeImpl &  discriminator_type,
MemberIter  begin,
MemberIter  end 
)
inline

Creates a union with the members in an iterator range.

Template Parameters
MemberIterA forward iterator of UnionMember elements
Parameters
the_nameThe name of the type
discriminator_typeThe type of the discriminator
beginThe beginning of the range of UnionMembers
endThe end of the range of UnionMembers

◆ UnionType() [4/4]

dds::core::xtypes::UnionType::UnionType ( const std::string &  the_name,
const DynamicTypeImpl &  discriminator_type,
std::initializer_list< UnionMember the_members 
)
inline

Creates a union with the members in an initializer_list.

Parameters
the_nameThe name of the type
discriminator_typeThe type of the discriminator
the_membersAn ininitalizer_list of UnionMembers

Member Function Documentation

◆ discriminator()

const DynamicTypeImpl& dds::core::xtypes::UnionType::discriminator ( ) const

Gets the type of the discriminator.

◆ find_member_by_label()

MemberIndex dds::core::xtypes::UnionType::find_member_by_label ( DiscriminatorType  label) const

Gets the index of the member selected by a label.

The result of this function can be passed to member(uint32_t).

Returns
The index of the member selected by label or INVALID_INDEX if that label doesn't select any member

◆ find_member_by_id()

MemberIndex dds::core::xtypes::UnionType::find_member_by_id ( uint32_t  id) const

Gets the index of the member with a specific member ID.

The result of this function can be passed to member(uint32_t).

Returns
The index of the member that has this id or INVALID_INDEX if no member uses that id.

◆ add_member() [1/2]

UnionType& dds::core::xtypes::UnionType::add_member ( const UnionMember member)

Add a member to the end of this union.

◆ add_members() [1/3]

template<typename Container >
UnionType& dds::core::xtypes::UnionType::add_members ( const Container &  the_members)
inline

Adds all the members of a container at the end.

◆ add_members() [2/3]

UnionType& dds::core::xtypes::UnionType::add_members ( std::initializer_list< UnionMember the_members)
inline

Adds all the members of an initializer_list at the end.

◆ add_members() [3/3]

template<typename MemberIter >
UnionType& dds::core::xtypes::UnionType::add_members ( MemberIter  begin,
MemberIter  end 
)
inline

Adds all the members in an iterator range at the end.

◆ add_member() [2/2]

UnionType& dds::core::xtypes::UnionType::add_member ( UnionMember &&  the_member)
inline

Adds a member, moving it, at the end.
