Detailed Description

<<extension>> Extensions to dds::domain

Function Documentation

find_participant_by_name()

dds::domain::DomainParticipant rti::domain::find_participant_by_name

(

const std::string &

participant_name

)

<<extension>> Locates an existing dds::domain::DomainParticipant by name.

Note

#include <rti/domain/find.hpp> This function is in the rti::domain namespace

If no such DomainParticipant exists, the operation will return dds::core::null.

find_participants() [1/2]

template<typename ParticipantFwdIterator >

uint32_t rti::domain::find_participants	(	ParticipantFwdIterator	begin,
		uint32_t	max_size
	)

<<extension>> Retrieves all the participants created by the application up to a maximum number

Note

#include <rti/domain/find.hpp> This function is in the rti::domain namespace

If no such DomainParticipant exists, the operation will return dds::core::null.

Template Parameters

ParticipantFwdIterator

A forward iterator whose value type is dds::domain::DomainParticipant

Parameters

begin	The iterator where to begin adding DomainParticipants.
max_size	The maximum number of elements to add

Returns

The number of elements added

find_participants() [2/2]

template<typename ParticipantFwdIterator >

uint32_t rti::domain::find_participants

(

ParticipantFwdIterator

begin

)

<<extension>> Retrieves all the participants created by the application

Note

#include <rti/domain/find.hpp> This function is in the rti::domain namespace

(Note: this function is in the rti::domain namespace)

Template Parameters

ParticipantFwdIterator

A forward iterator whose value type is dds::domain::DomainParticipant

Parameters

begin

The iterator where to begin adding DomainParticipants.

Returns

The number of elements added

find_type()

const dds::core::xtypes::DynamicType & rti::domain::find_type	(	const dds::domain::DomainParticipant &	participant,
		const std::string &	type_name
	)

<<extension>> Retrieves a type registered with this participant

#include <rti/domain/find.hpp>

Every data type used in a DomainParticipant has a registered type name, which in most cases is the same as the type's name (the name used to define the type), but it can be different.

Types are registered by the creation of a dds::topic::Topic, whose constructors optionally receive a registered type name different from the type's name.

Types can also be registered when parsing an XML configuration and calling dds::core::QosProvider::create_participant_from_config().

Parameters

participant	The DomainParticipant where the type is registered
type_name	The name used to register the type in this participant

Returns

If type_name exists in this participant, this function returns the DynamicType describing the type. It can be cast down to dds::core::xtypes::StructType or dds::core::xtypes::UnionType, depending on whether the type is a struct or a union.

Exceptions

dds::core::Error

If the type doesn't exist or the operation fails for any other reason

Example:

dds::domain::DomainParticipant participant(0);
dds::topic::Topic<Foo> topic1(participant, "Foo Topic"); // registered as "Foo"
dds::topic::Topic<Foo> topic2(participant, "MyFoo Topic", "MyFoo"); // registered as "MyFoo"

const auto& type1 = rti::domain::find_type(participant, "Foo");
const auto& type2 = rti::domain::find_type(participant, "MyFoo");

std::cout << type1 << std::endl;
std::cout << type2 << std::endl;
assert(type1 == type2); // Same type registered with different names

// Cast to StructType to access more information about the type
const auto& type1_struct = 
        static_cast<const dds::core::xtypes::StructType&>(type1);
std::cout << type1_struct.member(0).name() << std::endl;

register_type() [1/2]

void rti::domain::register_type	(	dds::domain::DomainParticipant &	participant,
		const std::string &	name,
		const dds::core::xtypes::DynamicType &	type,
		const rti::core::xtypes::DynamicDataTypeSerializationProperty &	serialization_property = rti::core::xtypes::DynamicDataTypeSerializationProperty::DEFAULT
	)

<<extension>> Registers a DynamicType with specific serialization properties

Typically you don't need to call this function, since this topic constructor takes care of that automatically. You do need to call this function before creating the topic if you want to change the default data-serialization property.

Calling this function also allows to change the registered name of the type, which by default is type.name().

Parameters

participant	The participant where to register this type
name	The name to use to register this type
type	The type definition
serialization_property	The data-serialization property

register_type() [2/2]

template<typename T >

void rti::domain::register_type

(

const std::string &

registered_type_name = dds::topic::topic_type_name<T>::value()

)

<<extension>> Registers a User-Generated Type with RTI Connext. This function is used along with XML Application Creation.

When using XML Application creation, you must use this function to register any user-generated types with RTI Connext before creating your system.

Typically you don't need to call this function, since the topic constructor takes care of that automatically.

Template Parameters

T	The user-generated type that is being registered

Parameters

registered_type_name

The name to use when registering the type. This is the name that will be used in your XML configuration file to refer to the type.
