Detailed Description

template<typename ElementBuilder>
class rti::flat::MutableSequenceBuilder< ElementBuilder >

Builds a sequence member of variable-size elements.

Template Parameters
ElementBuilderThe Builder type for the elements of the sequence

To build the elements use the ElementBuilder returned by build_next(). An empty sequence can be built by calling finish() without any call to build_next().

This class doesn't enforce the sequence bound set in IDL.

The following example uses a MutableSequenceBuilder to initialize a sequence member of MyFlatMutableBuilder with two elements:

auto seq_builder = builder.build_my_mutable_seq();
auto element_builder = seq_builder.build_next();
// ... build the first element
element_builder.finish();
element_builder = seq_builder.build_next();
// ... build the second element
element_builder.finish();
seq_builder.finish();
Represents the Builder for an arbitrary user-defined mutable type.
Definition: Builder.hpp:206
rti::flat::MutableSequenceBuilder< FlatMutableBarBuilder > build_my_mutable_seq()
Begins building a sequence member of mutable complex elements.
rti::flat::flat_type_traits< TopicType >::builder build_data(dds::pub::DataWriter< TopicType > &writer)
Begins building a new sample.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ Offset

template<typename ElementBuilder >
typedef SequenceOffset<typename ElementBuilder::Offset> rti::flat::MutableSequenceBuilder< ElementBuilder >::Offset

The related Offset type.

Member Function Documentation

◆ build_next()

template<typename ElementBuilder >
ElementBuilder rti::flat::MutableSequenceBuilder< ElementBuilder >::build_next ( )
inline

Begins building the next element.

Before calling build_next() to create a new element, the application must have called finish() on the previous element Builder.

◆ finish()

template<typename ElementBuilder >
Offset rti::flat::MutableSequenceBuilder< ElementBuilder >::finish ( )
inline

Finishes building the sequence.

Returns
An Offset to the member that has been built.
