Detailed Description

<<extension>> The Dynamic Data API provides a way to interact with arbitrarily complex data types at runtime without the need for code generation.

This API allows you to define new data types, modify existing data types, and interact reflectively with samples. To use it, you will take the following steps:

1. Obtain a DDS_TypeCode (see Type Code Support) that defines the type definition you want to use.
A DDS_TypeCode includes a type's kind (DDS_TCKind), name, and members (that is, fields). You can create your own DDS_TypeCode using the DDS_TypeCodeFactory class – see, for example, the DDS_TypeCodeFactory_create_struct_tc method. Alternatively, you can use a remote DDS_TypeCode that you discovered on the network (see Built-in Topics) or one generated by rtiddsgen (see the Code Generator User's Manual).

2. Wrap the DDS_TypeCode in a DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport object.
See the constructor DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_new. This object lets you connect the type definition to a DDS_DomainParticipant and manage data samples (of type DDS_DynamicData).

3. Register the DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport with one or more domain participants.
See DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_register_type. This action associates the data type with a logical name that you can use to create topics. (Starting with this step, working with a dynamically defined data type is almost exactly the same as working with a generated one.)

4. Create a DDS_Topic from the DDS_DomainParticipant.
Use the name under which you registered your data type – see DDS_DomainParticipant_create_topic. This DDS_Topic is what you will use to produce and consume data.

5. Create a DDS_DynamicDataWriter and/or DDS_DynamicDataReader.
These objects will produce and/or consume data (of type DDS_DynamicData) on the DDS_Topic. You can create these objects directly from the DDS_DomainParticipant – see DDS_DomainParticipant_create_datawriter and DDS_DomainParticipant_create_datareader – or by first creating intermediate DDS_Publisher and DDS_Subscriber objects – see DDS_DomainParticipant_create_publisher and DDS_DomainParticipant_create_subscriber.

6. Write and/or read the data of interest.

7. Tear down the objects described above.
You should delete them in the reverse order in which you created them. Note that unregistering your data type with the DDS_DomainParticipant is optional; all types are automatically unregistered when the DDS_DomainParticipant itself is deleted.

Macro Definition Documentation

DDS_DynamicDataProperty_t_INITIALIZER

#define DDS_DynamicDataProperty_t_INITIALIZER

Static initializer for DDS_DynamicDataProperty_t objects.

Use this initializer to ensure that new properties objects don't have uninitialized contents.

struct DDS_DynamicDataProperty_t props = DDS_DynamicDataProperty_t_INITIALIZER; 

See also

DDS_DynamicDataProperty_t

DDS_DYNAMIC_DATA_MEMBER_ID_UNSPECIFIED

#define DDS_DYNAMIC_DATA_MEMBER_ID_UNSPECIFIED

A sentinel value that indicates that no member ID is needed in order to perform some operation.

Most commonly, this constant will be used in "get" operations to indicate that a lookup should be performed based on a name, not on an ID.

See also

DDS_DynamicDataMemberId

DDS_DynamicDataTypeProperty_t_INITIALIZER

#define DDS_DynamicDataTypeProperty_t_INITIALIZER

Static initializer for DDS_DynamicDataTypeProperty_t objects.

Use this initializer to ensure that new properties objects don't have uninitialized contents.

Typedef Documentation

DDS_DynamicDataMemberId

typedef DDS_Long DDS_DynamicDataMemberId

An integer that uniquely identifies some member of a data type within that type.

The range of a member ID is the range of an unsigned short integer, except for the value 0, which is reserved.

DDS_DynamicData

DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport

typedef struct DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport

A factory for registering a dynamically defined type and creating DDS_DynamicData objects.

A DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport has three roles:

1. It associates a DDS_TypeCode with policies for managing objects of that type. See the constructor, DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_new.
2. It registers its type under logical names with a DDS_DomainParticipant. See DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_register_type.
3. It creates DDS_DynamicData samples pre-initialized with the type and properties of the type support itself. See DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_create_data.

Function Documentation

DDS_DynamicData_initialize()

DDS_Boolean DDS_DynamicData_initialize	(	DDS_DynamicData *	self,
		const DDS_TypeCode *	type,
		const struct DDS_DynamicDataProperty_t *	property
	)

Initialize a DDS_DynamicData object to a valid empty state.

Use the constructor, DDS_DynamicData_new, to allocate a new DDS_DynamicData object on the heap. Use this method to initialize a DDS_DynamicData object that is stored deeply, either within another object or on the stack.

When you're finished with the object, dispose of it with DDS_DynamicData_finalize.

struct DDS_DynamicData sample; 
 DDS_Boolean succeeded = DDS_DynamicData_initialize( 
     &sample, myType, myProperties); 
 /* Handle failure... */ 
 /* Do something... */ 
 DDS_DynamicData_finalize(&sample); 

MT Safety:

UNSAFE.

DDS_DynamicData_new

DDS_DynamicData_new()

DDS_DynamicData* DDS_DynamicData_new	(	const DDS_TypeCode *	type,
		const struct DDS_DynamicDataProperty_t *	property
	)

The constructor for new DDS_DynamicData objects.

This method returns a fully initialized object. It is not necessary to subsequently call DDS_DynamicData_initialize.

If initialization fails, this method returns NULL.

The type parameter may be NULL. In that case, this DDS_DynamicData must be bound with DDS_DynamicData_bind_type or DDS_DynamicData_bind_complex_member before it can be used.

If the DDS_TypeCode is not NULL, the newly constructed DDS_DynamicData object will retain a reference to it. It is not safe to delete the DDS_TypeCode until all samples that use it have themselves been deleted.

In most cases, it is not necessary to call this constructor explicitly. Instead, use DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_create_data, and the DDS_TypeCode and properties will be specified for you. Using the factory method also ensures that the memory management contract documented above is followed correctly, because the DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport object maintains the DDS_TypeCode used by the samples it creates.

However you create a DDS_DynamicData object, you must delete it when you are finished with it. If you choose to use this constructor, delete the object with the destructor: DDS_DynamicData_delete.

struct DDS_DynamicData* sample = DDS_DynamicData_new( 
     myType, myProperties); 
 /* Failure indicated by NULL return result. */ 
 /* Do something... */ 
 DDS_DynamicData_delete(sample); 

Parameters

type	<<in>> The type of which the new object will represent an object.
property	<<in>> Properties that configure the behavior of the new object. Most users can simply use DDS_DYNAMIC_DATA_PROPERTY_DEFAULT.

DDS_DynamicData_from_cdr_buffer()

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DynamicData_from_cdr_buffer	(	DDS_DynamicData *	self,
		const char *	buffer,
		unsigned int	length
	)

Deserializes a DynamicData object from a buffer of octets.

This function deserializes a DynamicData object from a CDR buffer of octets.

The content of the buffer generated by the function DDS_DynamicData_to_cdr_buffer can be provided to this function to get the DynamicData object back.

Parameters

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
buffer	<<in>>. Deserialization buffer.
length	<<in>>. Length of the serialized representation of the DynamicData object in the buffer.

Returns

One of the Standard Return Codes

Examples:

HelloWorldPlugin.c.

DDS_DynamicData_to_cdr_buffer_ex()

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DynamicData_to_cdr_buffer_ex	(	DDS_DynamicData *	self,
		char *	buffer,
		unsigned int *	length,
		DDS_DataRepresentationId_t	representation
	)

Serializes a DynamicData object into a buffer of octets.

This function serializes a DynamicData object into a buffer of octets using the input data representation. See DDS_DynamicData_to_cdr_buffer for details.

Parameters

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
buffer	<<out>>. Serialization buffer.
length	<<inout>>. Serialization buffer length.
representation	<<in>>. Representation used to serialize the data

DDS_DynamicData_to_cdr_buffer()

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DynamicData_to_cdr_buffer	(	DDS_DynamicData *	self,
		char *	buffer,
		unsigned int *	length
	)

Serializes a DynamicData object into a CDR buffer of octets.

This function serializes a DynamicData object into a buffer of octets, using CDR as the data representation. Calling this function is equivalent to calling DDS_DynamicData_to_cdr_buffer_ex with DDS_AUTO_DATA_REPRESENTATION as the representation.

The input buffer must be large enough to store the serialized representation of the DynamicData object. Otherwise, the function will return an error code.

To determine the minimum size of the input buffer, you must call this method with the buffer set to NULL.

Parameters

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
buffer	<<out>>. Serialization buffer.
length	<<inout>>. When the buffer is set to NULL, after the function executes, length will contain the required size for the serialization buffer. When buffer is not NULL, length must contain the size of the input buffer when the function is invoked. After the function executes, length will be updated to contain the actual size of the serialized content, which may be smaller than the size obtained when buffer is set to NULL.

Returns

One of the Standard Return Codes

DDS_DynamicData_to_string()

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DynamicData_to_string	(	DDS_DynamicData *	self,
		char *	str,
		DDS_UnsignedLong *	str_size,
		const struct DDS_PrintFormatProperty *	property
	)

Get a string representation of a DynamicData object.

This function takes a dynamic data sample and creates a string representation of the data.

The input character buffer must be big enough to store the string representation of the sample. Otherwise, the function will return an error.

To determine the minimum size of the input character buffer, the user must call this method with the buffer set to NULL.

If the size of the output string is longer than the size of an unsigned 32-bit integer, this operation will fail with DDS_RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES.

Parameters

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
str	<<out>>. Output string representing the dynamic data sample.
str_size	<<inout>>. When str is set to NULL, after the function executes, str_size will contain a buffer size big enough to hold the string representation of the data. When str is not NULL, str_size must contain the size of the input buffer when the function is invoked. If the size of the input buffer is too small, after the function executes, str_size will be updated to contain the required size of the string content and the function will return DDS_RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES.
property	<<in>>. Properties describing what the format of the output string should be. Cannot be ull.

Returns

One of the Standard Return Codes, DDS_RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES

DDS_DynamicData_get_info()

void DDS_DynamicData_get_info	(	const DDS_DynamicData *	self,

MT Safety:

UNSAFE.

Parameters

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
info_out	<<out>> The descriptor object whose contents will be overwritten by this operation.

DDS_DynamicData_bind_type()

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DynamicData_bind_type	(	DDS_DynamicData *	self,
		const DDS_TypeCode *	type
	)

If this DDS_DynamicData object is not yet associated with a data type, set that type now to the given DDS_TypeCode.

This advanced operation allows you to reuse a single DDS_DynamicData object with multiple data types.

struct DDS_DynamicData* myData = DDS_DynamicData_new(NULL, myProperties); 
 DDS_TypeCode* myType = ...; 
 DDS_DynamicData_bind_type(myData, myType); 
 /* Do something... */ 
 DDS_DynamicData_unbind_type(myData); 
 DDS_DynamicData_delete(myData); 

Note that the DDS_DynamicData object will retain a reference to the DDS_TypeCode object you provide. It is not safe to delete the DDS_TypeCode until after it is unbound.

MT Safety:

UNSAFE.

Parameters

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
type	<<in>> The type to associate with this DDS_DynamicData object.

Returns

One of the Standard Return Codes

See also

DDS_DynamicData_unbind_type

DDS_DynamicData_unbind_type()

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DynamicData_unbind_type

(

DDS_DynamicData *

self

)

Dissociate this DDS_DynamicData object from any particular data type.

This step is necessary before the object can be associated with a new data type.

This operation clears all members as a side effect.

MT Safety:

UNSAFE.

Returns

One of the Standard Return Codes

See also

DDS_DynamicData_bind_type

DDS_DynamicData_clear_all_members

DDS_DynamicData_bind_complex_member()

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DynamicData_bind_complex_member	(	DDS_DynamicData *	self,
		DDS_DynamicData *	value_out,
		const char *	member_name,
		DDS_DynamicDataMemberId	member_id
	)

Use another DDS_DynamicData object to provide access to a complex field of this DDS_DynamicData object.

For example, consider the following data types:

struct MyFieldType { 
     float theFloat; 
 }; 
 
 struct MyOuterType { 
     MyFieldType complexMember; 
 }; 

Suppose you have an instance of MyOuterType, and you would like to examine the contents of its member complexMember. To do this, you must bind another DDS_DynamicData object to that member. This operation will bind the type code of the member to the provided DDS_DynamicData object and perform additional initialization.

The following example demonstrates the usage pattern. Note that error handling has been omitted for brevity.

struct DDS_DynamicData* outer = ...; 
 float theFloatValue = 0; 
 struct DDS_DynamicData* toBeBound = DDS_DynamicData_new(NULL, myProperties); 
 DDS_DynamicData_bind_complex_member( 
     outer, 
     toBeBound, 
     "complexMember", 
     DDS_DYNAMIC_DATA_MEMBER_ID_UNSPECIFIED); 
 DDS_DynamicData_get_float( 
     toBeBound, 
     &theFloat, 
     "theFloat" 
     DDS_DYNAMIC_DATA_MEMBER_ID_UNSPECIFIED); 
 DDS_DynamicData_unbind_complex_member(outer, toBeBound); 

This operation is only permitted when the object toBeBound (named as in the example above) is not currently associated with any type, including already being bound to another member. You can see in the example that this object is created directly with the constructer and is not provided with a DDS_TypeCode.

Only a single member of a given DDS_DynamicData object may be bound at one time – however, members of members may be recursively bound to any depth. Furthermore, while the outer object has a bound member, it may only be modified through that bound member. That is, after calling this member, all "set" operations on the outer object will be disabled until DDS_DynamicData_unbind_complex_member has been called. Furthermore, any bound member must be unbound before a sample can be written or deleted.

This method is logically related to DDS_DynamicData_get_complex_member in that both allow you to examine the state of nested objects. They are different in an important way: this method provides a view into an outer object, such that any change made to the inner object will be reflected in the outer. But the DDS_DynamicData_get_complex_member operation copies the state of the nested object; changes to it will not be reflected in the source object.

Note that you can bind to a member of a sequence at an index that is past the current length of that sequence. In that case, this method behaves like a "set" method: it automatically lengthens the sequence (filling in default elements) to allow the bind to take place. See Getters and Setters.

MT Safety:

UNSAFE.

Parameters

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
value_out	<<out>> The object that you wish to bind to the field.
member_name	<<in>> The name of the member or NULL to look up the member by its ID.
member_id	<<in>> The ID of the member or DDS_DYNAMIC_DATA_MEMBER_ID_UNSPECIFIED to look up by name. See Member Names and IDs.

		DDS_DynamicData *	value
	)

Tear down the association created by a DDS_DynamicData_bind_complex_member operation, committing any changes to the outer object since then.

Some changes to the outer object will not be observable until after you have performed this operation.

• If the specified member is defined in the type but doesn't exist in this data sample, this function returns an object with DDS_DynamicDataMemberInfo::member_exists set to false.
• If the specified member is defined in the type and exists in this data sample, DDS_DynamicDataMemberInfo::member_exists is true.

When this sample represents a sequence and member_id is the 1-based element index:

• If member_id is greater than the sequence's maximum length, this function fails with DDS_RETCODE_NO_DATA.
• If member_id is greater than the sequence's current length but smaller than or equal to its maximum length, this function returns an object with DDS_DynamicDataMemberInfo::member_exists set to false.
• If member_id is smaller than or equal to the current length, DDS_DynamicDataMemberInfo::member_exists is true.

When this sample represents an array, this function either fails with with DDS_RETCODE_NO_DATA when the index is out of bounds or else returns an object with DDS_DynamicDataMemberInfo::member_exists set to true.

Parameters

Copy the state of the given DDS_DynamicData object into a member of this object.

The member may be of type kind DDS_TK_ARRAY, DDS_TK_SEQUENCE, DDS_TK_STRUCT, DDS_TK_VALUE, or DDS_TK_UNION. It may be specified by name or by ID.

Example: Copying Data

This method can be used with DDS_DynamicData_bind_complex_member to copy from one DDS_DynamicData object to another efficiently. Suppose the following data structure:

struct Bar { 
     short theShort; 
 }; 
 
 struct Foo { 
     Bar theBar; 
 }; 

Suppose we have two instances of Foo, foo_dst and foo_src, and we want to replace the contents of foo_dst.theBar with the contents of foo_src.theBar. The following example shows how to do this (error handling has been omitted for the sake of brevity).

struct DDS_DynamicData* foo_dst = ...; 
 struct DDS_DynamicData* foo_src = ...; 
 struct DDS_DynamicData* bar = DDS_DynamicData_new(NULL, myProperties); 
 /* Point to the source of the copy: */ 
 DDS_DynamicData_bind_complex_member( 
     foo_src, 
     bar, 
     "theBar", 
     DDS_DYNAMIC_DATA_MEMBER_ID_UNSPECIFIED); 
 /* Just one copy: */ 
 DDS_DynamicData_set_complex_member( 
     foo_dst, 
     "theBar", 
     DDS_DYNAMIC_DATA_MEMBER_ID_UNSPECIFIED, 
     bar); 
 /* Tear down: */ 
 DDS_DynamicData_unbind_complex_member(foo_src, bar); 
 free(bar);

DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_new()

struct DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport* DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_new	(	const DDS_TypeCode *	type,
		const struct DDS_DynamicDataTypeProperty_t *	props
	)

Construct a new DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport object.

This step is usually followed by type registration.

The DDS_TypeCode object that is passed to this constructor is cloned and stored internally; no pointer is retained to the object passed in. It is therefore safe to delete the DDS_TypeCode after this method returns.

Parameters

type	The DDS_TypeCode that describes the members of this type. The new object will contain a copy of this DDS_TypeCode; you may delete the argument after this constructor returns.
props	Policies that describe how to manage the memory and other properties of the data samples created by this factory. In most cases, the default values will be appropriate; see DDS_DYNAMIC_DATA_TYPE_PROPERTY_DEFAULT.

DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_register_type

DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_delete

Returns

One of the Standard Return Codes

DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_delete()

void DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_delete

(

struct DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport *

self

)

Delete a DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport object.

A DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport cannot be deleted while it is still in use. For each DDS_DomainParticipant with which the DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport is registered, either the type must be unregistered or the participant must be deleted.

DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_unregister_type

DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_new

DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_register_type()

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_register_type	(	struct DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport *	self,
		DDS_DomainParticipant *	participant,
		const char *	type_name
	)

Associate the DDS_TypeCode with the given DDS_DomainParticipant under the given logical name.

Once a type has been registered, it can be referenced by name when creating a topic. Statically and dynamically defined types behave the same way in this respect.

If the type cannot be registered, this function will fail with DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET or DDS_RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES.

DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_unregister_type

DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_unregister_type()

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_unregister_type	(	struct DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport *	self,
		DDS_DomainParticipant *	participant,
		const char *	type_name
	)

Remove the definition of this type from the DDS_DomainParticipant.

This operation is optional; all types are automatically unregistered when a DDS_DomainParticipant is deleted. Most application will not need to manually unregister types.

A type cannot be unregistered while it is still in use; that is, while any DDS_Topic is still referring to it.

If the type cannot be unregistered, this function will fail with DDS_RETCODE_ERROR or DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER.

DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_register_type

DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_get_type_name()

const char* DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_get_type_name

(

const struct DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport *

self

)

Get the default name of this type.

The DDS_TypeCode that is wrapped by this DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport includes a name; this operation returns that name.

This operation is useful when registering a type, because in most cases it is not necessary for the physical and logical names of the type to be different.

DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_register_type( 
     myTypeSupport, 
     myParticipant, 
     DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_get_type_name(myTypeSupport));

)

Get the DDS_TypeCode wrapped by this DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport.

DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_create_data()

DDS_DynamicData* DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_create_data

(

struct DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport *

self

)

Create a new DDS_DynamicData sample initialized with the DDS_TypeCode and properties of this DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport.

This method returns a fully initialized object. It is not necessary to subsequently call DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_initialize_data.

If initialization fails, this method returns NULL.

You must delete your DDS_DynamicData object when you are finished with it.

struct DDS_DynamicData* sample = DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_create_data( 
     myTypeSupport); 
 /* Failure indicated by NULL return result. */ 
 /* Do something... */ 
 DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_delete_data(myTypeSupport, sample);

DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_copy_data()

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_copy_data	(	const struct DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport *	self,
		DDS_DynamicData *	dest,
		const DDS_DynamicData *	source
	)

Deeply copy the given data samples.

DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_initialize_data()

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_initialize_data	(	const struct DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport *	self,
		DDS_DynamicData *	a_data
	)

Initialize a DDS_DynamicData object to a valid empty state.

Use DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_create_data to allocate a new DDS_DynamicData object on the heap. Use this method to initialize a DDS_DynamicData object that is stored deeply, either within another object or on the stack.

When you're finished with the object, dispose of it with DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_finalize_data.

struct DDS_DynamicData sample; 
 DDS_Boolean succeeded = DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_initialize_data( 
     myTypeSupport, &sample); 
 /* Handle failure... */ 
 /* Do something... */ 
 DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_finalize_data(myTypeSupport, &sample);

		DDS_DynamicData *	a_data
	)

Clean up the internal state of this object to get it ready for deallocation, but don't deallocate the pointer.

Use DDS_DynamicDataTypeSupport_delete_data to clean up a DDS_DynamicData object on the heap. Use this method to clean up a DDS_DynamicData object that is stored deeply, either within another object or on the stack.
