Detailed Description

Kinds of communication status.

Entity:
DDS_Entity
QoS:
QoS Policies
Listener:
DDS_Listener Each concrete DDS_Entity is associated with a set of Status objects whose value represents the communication status of that entity. Each status value can be accessed with a corresponding function on the DDS_Entity. RTI Connext Micro supports a subset of these statuses. When these status values change, the proper DDS_Listener objects are invoked to asynchronously inform the application. An application is notified of communication status by means of the DDS_Listener mechanism. The statuses may be classified into:
  • read communication statuses: i.e., those that are related to arrival of data, namely DDS_DATA_ON_READERS_STATUS and DDS_DATA_AVAILABLE_STATUS.
  • plain communication statuses: i.e., all the others. Read communication statuses are treated slightly differently than the others because they don't change independently. In other words, at least two changes will appear at the same time ( DDS_DATA_ON_READERS_STATUS and DDS_DATA_AVAILABLE_STATUS) and even several of the last kind may be part of the set. This 'grouping' has to be communicated to the application. For each plain communication status, there is a corresponding structure to hold the status value. These values contain the information related to the change of status, as well as information related to the statuses themselves (e.g., contains cumulative counts).

Changes in Status

Associated with each one of an DDS_Entity's communication status is a logical StatusChangedFlag. This flag indicates whether that particular communication status has changed since the last time the status was read by the application. The way the status changes is slightly different for the Plain Communication Status and the Read Communication status.

Changes in plain communication status

For the plain communication status, the StatusChangedFlag flag is initially set to FALSE. It becomes TRUE whenever the plain communication status changes and it is reset to DDS_BOOLEAN_FALSE each time the application accesses the plain communication status via the proper get_<plain communication status>() operation on the DDS_Entity. The communication status is also reset to FALSE whenever the associated listener operation is called as the listener implicitly accesses the status which is passed as a parameter to the operation. The fact that the status is reset prior to calling the listener means that if the application calls the get_<plain communication status> from inside the listener it will see the status already reset. An exception to this rule is when the associated listener is the 'nil' listener. The 'nil' listener is treated as a NOOP and the act of calling the 'nil' listener does not reset the communication status.

Changes in read communication status

For the read communication status, the StatusChangedFlag flag is initially set to FALSE. The StatusChangedFlag becomes TRUE when either a data-sample arrives or else the DDS_ViewStateKind, DDS_SampleStateKind, or DDS_InstanceStateKind of any existing sample changes for any reason other than a call to DDS_DataReader_read_next_sample, or DDS_DataReader_take_next_sample. Specifically any of the following events will cause the StatusChangedFlag to become TRUE:

Depending on the kind of StatusChangedFlag, the flag transitions to FALSE again as follows:

Macro Definition Documentation

#define DDS_STATUS_MASK_NONE

No bits are set.

#define DDS_STATUS_MASK_ALL

All bits are set.


Typedef Documentation

A bit-mask (list) of concrete status types, i.e. DDS_StatusKind[].

The bit-mask is an efficient and compact representation of a fixed-length list of DDS_StatusKind values. Bits in the mask correspond to different statuses. You can choose which changes in status will trigger a callback by setting the corresponding status bits in this bit-mask and installing callbacks for each of those statuses. The bits that are true indicate that the listener will be called back for changes in the corresponding status. For example:

datareader->set_listener(listener, mask);

or

datareader = subscriber->create_datareader(topic,
listener, mask);

Enumeration Type Documentation

Type for status kinds.

Each concrete DDS_Entity is associated with a set of *Status objects whose values represent the communication status of that DDS_Entity. The communication statuses whose changes can be communicated to the application depend on the DDS_Entity. Each status value can be accessed with a corresponding function on the DDS_Entity. The changes on these status values cause activation of the corresponding trigger invocation of the proper DDS_Listener objects to asynchronously inform the application.
