Detailed Description

template<typename Request, typename Reply>
class dds::rpc::ClientEndpoint< Request, Reply >

<<reference-type>> Manages the DDS entities required to make remote function calls.

This class is always the base of a concrete client, such as rpc_example::RobotControlClient.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ClientEndpoint()

template<typename Request , typename Reply >

dds::rpc::ClientEndpoint< Request, Reply >::ClientEndpoint ( const ClientParams &  params )

inlineexplicit

Creates a new ClientEndpoint.

Member Function Documentation

close()

template<typename Request , typename Reply >

void dds::rpc::ClientEndpoint< Request, Reply >::close ( )

inline

Destroyes the underlying requester and other resources.

Any operation after close() throws dds::core::AlreadyClosedError

closed()

template<typename Request , typename Reply >

bool dds::rpc::ClientEndpoint< Request, Reply >::closed ( ) const

inline

Whether this instance has been closed already.

wait_for_service() [1/2]

template<typename Request , typename Reply >

void dds::rpc::ClientEndpoint< Request, Reply >::wait_for_service ( const dds::core::Duration &  maxWait )

inline

Waits for one or more services to be discovered.

Parameters

maxWait

The maximum time to wait, after which dds::core::TimeoutError is thrown.

wait_for_service() [2/2]

template<typename Request , typename Reply >

void dds::rpc::ClientEndpoint< Request, Reply >::wait_for_service ( )

inline

Waits for one or more services to be discovered for an unlimited period of time.

request_datawriter()

template<typename Request , typename Reply >

dds::pub::DataWriter<RequestType> dds::rpc::ClientEndpoint< Request, Reply >::request_datawriter ( ) const

inline

Accesses the underlying DataWriter that sends the requests (function calls)

Returns

The DataWriter

reply_datareader()

template<typename Request , typename Reply >

dds::sub::DataReader<ReplyType> dds::rpc::ClientEndpoint< Request, Reply >::reply_datareader ( ) const

inline

Accesses the underlying DataReader that receives the replies (return values from the function calls)

Returns

The DataReader
