Typedef Documentation

typedef struct DDS_DataWriterImpl DDS_DataWriter

<<interface>> <<cert>> Allows an application to set the value of the data to be published under a given DDS_Topic.

QoS:

DDS_DataWriterQos

Status:

DDS_LIVELINESS_LOST_STATUS, DDS_LivelinessLostStatus;
DDS_OFFERED_DEADLINE_MISSED_STATUS, DDS_OfferedDeadlineMissedStatus;
DDS_OFFERED_INCOMPATIBLE_QOS_STATUS, DDS_OfferedIncompatibleQosStatus;
DDS_PUBLICATION_MATCHED_STATUS, DDS_PublicationMatchedStatus;

Listener:

DDS_DataWriterListener

A DDS_DataWriter is attached to exactly one DDS_Publisher, that acts as a factory for it.

A DDS_DataWriter is bound to exactly one DDS_Topic and therefore to exactly one data type. The DDS_Topic must exist prior to the DDS_DataWriter's creation.

DDS_DataWriter is an abstract class. It must be specialized for each particular application data-type. The additional methods or functions that must be defined in the auto-generated class for a hypothetical application type Foo are specified in the example type DDS_DataWriter.

The following operations may be called even if the DDS_DataWriter is not enabled. Other operations will fail with DDS_RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED if called on a disabled DDS_DataWriter:

• The base-class operations DDS_Entity_enable ,DDS_DataWriter_get_qos ,DDS_DataWriter_get_listener ,and idref_DataWriter_set_qos,DDS_DataWriter_set_listener
• DDS_DataWriter_get_liveliness_lost_status DDS_DataWriter_get_offered_deadline_missed_status DDS_DataWriter_get_offered_incompatible_qos_status DDS_DataWriter_get_publication_matched_status

Several DDS_DataWriter may operate in different threads. If they share the same DDS_Publisher, the middleware guarantees that its operations are thread-safe.

Function Documentation

FooDataWriter* FooDataWriter_narrow

(

DDS_DataWriter *

writer

)

Narrow the given DDS_DataWriter pointer to a FooDataWriter pointer.

Check if the given writer is of type FooDataWriter.

Parameters:

writer	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
writer	<<in>> Base-class DDS_DataWriter to be converted to the auto-generated class FooDataWriter that extends DDS_DataWriter.

Returns:

FooDataWriter if writer is of type Foo. Return NULL otherwise.

DDS_DataWriter* FooDataWriter_as_datawriter

(

FooDataWriter *

writer

)

Widen the given FooDataWriter pointer to a DDS_DataWriter pointer.

Parameters:

writer	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
writer	<<in>> auto-generated FooDataWriter to be converted to the Base-class DDS_DataWriter.

Returns:

DDS_DataWriter.

DDS_InstanceHandle_t FooDataWriter_register_instance	(	FooDataWriter *	self,
		const void *	instance_data
	)

Informs RTI Connext DDS Micro that the application will be modifying a particular instance.

This operation is only useful for keyed data types. Using it for non-keyed types causes no effect and returns DDS_HANDLE_NIL. The operation takes as a parameter an instance (of which only the key value is examined) and returns a handle that can be used in successive write() or dispose() operations.

The operation gives RTI Connext DDS Micro an opportunity to pre-configure itself to improve performance.

The use of this operation by an application is optional even for keyed types. If an instance has not been pre-registered, the application can use the special value DDS_HANDLE_NIL as the DDS_InstanceHandle_t paramater to the write or dispose operation and RTI Connext DDS Micro will auto-register the instance.

For best performance, the operation should be invoked prior to calling any operation that modifies the instance, such as FooDataWriter_write, FooDataWriter_write_w_timestamp, FooDataWriter_dispose and FooDataWriter_dispose_w_timestamp and the handle used in conjunction with the data for those calls.

When this operation is used, RTI Connext DDS Micro will automatically supply the value of the source_timestamp that is used.

This operation may fail and return DDS_HANDLE_NIL if DDS_ResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_instances limit has been exceeded.

The operation is idempotent. If it is called for an already registered instance, it just returns the already allocated handle. This may be used to lookup and retrieve the handle allocated to a given instance.

This operation can only be called after DDS_DataWriter has been enabled. Otherwise, DDS_HANDLE_NIL will be returned.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
instance_data	<<in>> The instance that should be registered. Of this instance, only the fields that represent the key are examined by the function. Cannot be NULL. .

Returns:

For keyed data type, a handle that can be used in the calls that take a DDS_InstanceHandle_t, such as write, dispose, unregister_instance, or return DDS_HANDLE_NIL on failure. If the instance_data is of a data type that has no keys, this function always return DDS_HANDLE_NIL.

See also:

FooDataWriter_unregister_instance

DDS_InstanceHandle_t FooDataWriter_register_instance_w_timestamp	(	FooDataWriter *	self,
		const void *	instance_data,
		const struct DDS_Time_t *	source_timestamp
	)

Performs the same functions as register_instance except that the application provides the value for the source_timestamp.

The provided source_timestamp potentially affects the relative order in which readers observe events from multiple writers.

This operation may fail and return DDS_HANDLE_NIL if DDS_ResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_instances limit has been exceeded.

This operation can only be called after DDS_DataWriter has been enabled. Otherwise, DDS_HANDLE_NIL will be returned.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
instance_data	<<in>> The instance that should be registered. Of this instance, only the fields that represent the key are examined by the function. Cannot be NULL.
source_timestamp	<<in>> The timestamp value must be greater than or equal to the timestamp value used in the last writer operation (used in a register, unregister, dispose, or write, with either the automatically supplied timestamp or the application provided timestamp). This timestamp may potentially affect the order in which readers observe events from multiple writers. Cannot be NULL.

Returns:

For keyed data type, return a handle that can be used in the calls that take a DDS_InstanceHandle_t, such as write, dispose, unregister_instance, or return DDS_HANDLE_NIL on failure. If the instance_data is of a data type that has no keys, this function always return DDS_HANDLE_NIL.

See also:

FooDataWriter_unregister_instance

DDS_ReturnCode_t FooDataWriter_unregister_instance	(	FooDataWriter *	self,
		const void *	instance_data,
		const DDS_InstanceHandle_t *	handle
	)

Reverses the action of FooDataWriter_register_instance.

This operation is useful only for keyed data types. Using it for non-keyed types causes no effect and reports no error. The operation takes as a parameter an instance (of which only the key value is examined) and a handle.

This operation should only be called on an instance that is currently registered. This includes instances that have been auto-registered by calling operations such as write or dispose as described in FooDataWriter_register_instance. Otherwise, this operation may fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER.

This only need be called just once per instance, regardless of how many times register_instance was called for that instance.

When this operation is used, RTI Connext DDS Micro will automatically supply the value of the source_timestamp that is used.

This operation informs RTI Connext DDS Micro that the DDS_DataWriter is no longer going to provide any information about the instance. This operation also indicates that RTI Connext DDS Micro can locally remove all information regarding that instance. The application should not attempt to use the handle previously allocated to that instance after calling FooDataWriter_unregister_instance().

The special value DDS_HANDLE_NIL can be used for the parameter handle. This indicates that the identity of the instance should be automatically deduced from the instance_data (by means of the key).

If handle is any value other than DDS_HANDLE_NIL, then it must correspond to an instance that has been registered. If there is no correspondence, the operation will fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER.

RTI Connext DDS Micro will not detect the error when the handle is any value other than DDS_HANDLE_NIL, corresponds to an instance that has been registered, but does not correspond to the instance deduced from the instance_data (by means of the key). RTI Connext DDS Micro will treat as if the unregister_instance() operation is for the instance as indicated by the handle.

If after a FooDataWriter_unregister_instance, the application wants to modify (FooDataWriter_write or FooDataWriter_dispose) an instance, it has to register it again, or else use the special handle value DDS_HANDLE_NIL.

This operation does not indicate that the instance is deleted (that is the purpose of FooDataWriter_dispose). The operation FooDataWriter_unregister_instance just indicates that the DDS_DataWriter no longer has anything to say about the instance. DDS_DataReader entities that are reading the instance may receive a sample with DDS_NOT_ALIVE_NO_WRITERS_INSTANCE_STATE for the instance, unless there are other DDS_DataWriter objects writing that same instance.

This operation can affect the ownership of the data instance (see OWNERSHIP). If the DDS_DataWriter was the exclusive owner of the instance, then calling unregister_instance() will relinquish that ownership.

If DDS_ReliabilityQosPolicy::kind is set to DDS_RELIABLE_RELIABILITY_QOS and the unregistration would overflow the resource limits of this writer or of a reader, this operation may block for up to DDS_ReliabilityQosPolicy::max_blocking_time; if this writer is still unable to unregister after that period, this function will fail with DDS_RETCODE_TIMEOUT.

Parameters:

instance_data	<<in>> The instance that should be unregistered. If Foo has a key and instance_handle is DDS_HANDLE_NIL, only the fields that represent the key are examined by the function. Otherwise, instance_data is not used. If instance_data is used, it must represent an instance that has been registerd. Otherwise, this function may fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER . If Foo has a key, instance_data can be NULL only if handle is not DDS_HANDLE_NIL. Otherwise, this function will fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER.
handle	<<in>> represents the instance to be unregistered. If Foo has a key and handle is DDS_HANDLE_NIL, handle is not used and instance is deduced from instance_data. If Foo has no key, handle is not used. If handle is used, it must represent an instance that has been registered. Otherwise, this function may fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER. This function will fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER if handle is NULL. If Foo has a key, handle cannot be DDS_HANDLE_NIL if instance_data is NULL. Otherwise, this function will report the error DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER.
self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.

Returns:

One of the Standard Return Codes, DDS_RETCODE_TIMEOUT or DDS_RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED

See also:

FooDataWriter_register_instance

FooDataWriter_unregister_instance_w_timestamp

DDS_ReturnCode_t FooDataWriter_unregister_instance_w_timestamp	(	FooDataWriter *	self,
		const void *	instance_data,
		const DDS_InstanceHandle_t *	handle,
		const struct DDS_Time_t *	source_timestamp
	)

Performs the same function as FooDataWriter_unregister_instance except that it also provides the value for the source_timestamp.

The provided source_timestamp potentially affects the relative order in which readers observe events from multiple writers.

The constraints on the values of the handle parameter and the corresponding error behavior are the same specified for the FooDataWriter_unregister_instance operation.

This operation may block and may time out (DDS_RETCODE_TIMEOUT) under the same circumtances described for the unregister_instance operation.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
instance_data	<<in>> The instance that should be unregistered. If Foo has a key and instance_handle is DDS_HANDLE_NIL, only the fields that represent the key are examined by the function. Otherwise, instance_data is not used. If instance_data is used, it must represent an instance that has been registerd. Otherwise, this function may fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER. If Foo has a key, instance_data can be NULL only if handle is not DDS_HANDLE_NIL. Otherwise, this function will fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER.
handle	<<in>> represents the instance to be unregistered. If Foo has a key and handle is DDS_HANDLE_NIL, handle is not used and instance is deduced from instance_data. If Foo has no key, handle is not used. If handle is used, it must represent an instance that has been registered. Otherwise, this function may fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER. This function will fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER if handle is NULL. If Foo has a key, handle cannot be DDS_HANDLE_NIL if instance_data is NULL. Otherwise, this function will fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER.
source_timestamp	<<in>> The timestamp value must be greater than or equal to the timestamp value used in the last writer operation (used in a register, unregister, dispose, or write, with either the automatically supplied timestamp or the application provided timestamp). This timestamp may potentially affect the order in which readers observe events from multiple writers. Cannot be NULL.

Returns:

One of the Standard Return Codes, DDS_RETCODE_TIMEOUT or DDS_RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED.

See also:

FooDataWriter_register_instance

FooDataWriter_unregister_instance

DDS_ReturnCode_t FooDataWriter_dispose	(	FooDataWriter *	self,
		const void *	instance_data,
		const DDS_InstanceHandle_t *	handle
	)

Requests the middleware to delete the data.

This operation is useful only for keyed data types. Using it for non-keyed types has no effect and reports no error.

The actual deletion is postponed until there is no more use for that data in the whole system.

Applications are made aware of the deletion by means of operations on the DDS_DataReader objects that already knew that instance. DDS_DataReader objects that didn't know the instance will never see it.

This operation does not modify the value of the instance. The instance_data parameter is passed just for the purposes of identifying the instance.

When this operation is used, RTI Connext DDS Micro will automatically supply the value of the source_timestamp that is made available to DDS_DataReader objects by means of the source_timestamp attribute inside the DDS_SampleInfo.

The constraints on the values of the handle parameter and the corresponding error behavior are the same specified for the FooDataWriter_unregister_instance operation.

The special value DDS_HANDLE_NIL can be used for the parameter instance_handle. This indicates the identity of the instance should be automatically deduced from the instance_data (by means of the key).

If handle is any value other than DDS_HANDLE_NIL, then it must correspond to an instance that has been registered. If there is no correspondence, the operation will fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER.

RTI Connext DDS Micro will not detect the error when the handle is any value other than DDS_HANDLE_NIL, corresponds to an instance that has been registered, but does not correspond to the instance deduced from the instance_data (by means of the key). RTI Connext DDS Micro will treat as if the dispose() operation is for the instance as indicated by the handle.

This operation may block and time out (DDS_RETCODE_TIMEOUT) under the same circumtances described for FooDataWriter_write().

If there are no instance resources left, this operation may fail with DDS_RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES. Calling FooDataWriter_unregister_instance may help freeing up some resources.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
instance_data	<<in>> The data to dispose. If Foo has a key and instance_handle is DDS_HANDLE_NIL, only the fields that represent the key are examined by the function. Otherwise, instance_data is not used. If Foo has a key, instance_data can be NULL only if instance_handle is not DDS_HANDLE_NIL. Otherwise, this function will fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER.
handle	<<in>> Either the handle returned by a previous call to FooDataWriter_register_instance, or else the special value DDS_HANDLE_NIL. If Foo has a key and instance_handle is DDS_HANDLE_NIL, instance_handle is not used and instance is deduced from instance_data. If Foo has no key, instance_handle is not used. If handle is used, it must represent a registered instance of type Foo. Otherwise, this function fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER. This function will fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER if handle is NULL. If Foo has a key, instance_handle cannot be DDS_HANDLE_NIL if instance_data is NULL. Otherwise, this function will fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER.

Returns:

One of the Standard Return Codes, DDS_RETCODE_TIMEOUT, DDS_RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES or DDS_RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED.

DDS_ReturnCode_t FooDataWriter_dispose_w_timestamp	(	FooDataWriter *	self,
		const void *	instance_data,
		const DDS_InstanceHandle_t *	handle,
		const struct DDS_Time_t *	source_timestamp
	)

Performs the same functions as dispose except that the application provides the value for the source_timestamp that is made available to DDS_DataReader objects by means of the source_timestamp attribute inside the DDS_SampleInfo.

The constraints on the values of the handle parameter and the corresponding error behavior are the same specified for the FooDataWriter_dispose operation.

This operation may block and time out (DDS_RETCODE_TIMEOUT) under the same circumtances described for FooDataWriter_write.

If there are no instance resources left, this operation may fail with DDS_RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES. Calling FooDataWriter_unregister_instance may help freeing up some resources.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
instance_data	<<in>> The data to dispose. If Foo has a key and instance_handle is DDS_HANDLE_NIL, only the fields that represent the key are examined by the function. Otherwise, instance_data is not used. If Foo has a key, instance_data can be NULL only if instance_handle is not DDS_HANDLE_NIL. Otherwise, this function will fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER.
handle	<<in>> Either the handle returned by a previous call to FooDataWriter_register_instance, or else the special value DDS_HANDLE_NIL. If Foo has a key and instance_handle is DDS_HANDLE_NIL, instance_handle is not used and instance is deduced from instance_data. If Foo has no key, instance_handle is not used. If handle is used, it must represent a registered instance of type Foo. Otherwise, this function may fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER This function will fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER if handle is NULL. If Foo has a key, instance_handle cannot be DDS_HANDLE_NIL if instance_data is NULL. Otherwise, this function will fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER.
source_timestamp	<<in>> The timestamp value must be greater than or equal to the timestamp value used in the last writer operation (used in a register, unregister, dispose, or write, with either the automatically supplied timestamp or the application provided timestamp). This timestamp may potentially affect the order in which readers observe events from multiple writers. This timestamp will be available to the DDS_DataReader objects by means of the source_timestamp attribute inside the DDS_SampleInfo. Cannot be NULL.

Returns:

One of the Standard Return Codes, DDS_RETCODE_TIMEOUT, DDS_RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES or DDS_RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED.

FooDataWriter_dispose

DDS_ReturnCode_t FooDataWriter_write	(	FooDataWriter *	self,
		const void *	instance_data,
		const DDS_InstanceHandle_t *	handle
	)

Modifies the value of a data instance.

When this operation is used, RTI Connext DDS Micro will automatically supply the value of the source_timestamp that is made available to DDS_DataReader objects by means of the source_timestamp attribute inside the DDS_SampleInfo. (Refer to DDS_SampleInfo details).

As a side effect, this operation asserts liveliness on the DDS_DataWriter itself, the DDS_Publisher and the DDS_DomainParticipant.

Note that the special value DDS_HANDLE_NIL can be used for the parameter handle. This indicates the identity of the instance should be automatically deduced from the instance_data (by means of the key).

If handle is any value other than DDS_HANDLE_NIL, then it must correspond to an instance that has been registered. If there is no correspondence, the operation will fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER.

RTI Connext DDS Micro will not detect the error when the handle is any value other than DDS_HANDLE_NIL, corresponds to an instance that has been registered, but does not correspond to the instance deduced from the instance_data (by means of the key). RTI Connext DDS Micro will treat as if the write() operation is for the instance as indicated by the handle.

This operation may block if the RELIABILITY kind is set to DDS_RELIABLE_RELIABILITY_QOS and the modification would cause data to be lost or else cause one of the limits specified in the RESOURCE_LIMITS to be exceeded.

Specifically, this operation may block in the following situations (note that the list may not be exhaustive), even if its DDS_HistoryQosPolicyKind is DDS_KEEP_LAST_HISTORY_QOS:

• If (DDS_ResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_samples < DDS_ResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_instances * DDS_HistoryQosPolicy::depth), then in the situation where the max_samples resource limit is exhausted, RTI Connext DDS Micro is allowed to discard samples of some other instance, as long as at least one sample remains for such an instance. If it is still not possible to make space available to store the modification, the writer is allowed to block.
• If (DDS_ResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_samples < DDS_ResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_instances), then the DataWriter may block regardless of the DDS_HistoryQosPolicy::depth.

If this operation does block for any of the above reasons, the RELIABILITY max_blocking_time configures the maximum time the write operation may block (waiting for space to become available). If max_blocking_time elapses before the DDS_DataWriter is able to store the modification without exceeding the limits, the operation will time out (DDS_RETCODE_TIMEOUT).

If there are no instance resources left, this operation may fail with DDS_RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES. Calling FooDataWriter_unregister_instance may help freeing up some resources.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
instance_data	<<in>> The data to write. This function will fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER if instance_data is NULL.
handle	<<in>> Either the handle returned by a previous call to FooDataWriter_register_instance, or else the special value DDS_HANDLE_NIL. If Foo has a key and handle is not DDS_HANDLE_NIL, handle must represent a registered instance of type Foo. Otherwise, this function may fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER. This function will fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER if handle is NULL.

Returns:

One of the Standard Return Codes, DDS_RETCODE_TIMEOUT, DDS_RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES or DDS_RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED.

		const void *	instance_data,
		const DDS_InstanceHandle_t *	handle,
		const struct DDS_Time_t *	source_timestamp
	)

Performs the same function as FooDataWriter_write except that it also provides the value for the source_timestamp.

Explicitly provides the timestamp that will be available to the DDS_DataReader objects by means of the source_timestamp attribute inside the DDS_SampleInfo. (Refer to DDS_SampleInfo details)

The constraints on the values of the handle parameter and the corresponding error behavior are the same specified for the FooDataWriter_write operation.

This operation may block and time out (DDS_RETCODE_TIMEOUT) under the same circumtances described for FooDataWriter_write.

If there are no instance resources left, this operation may fail with DDS_RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES. Calling FooDataWriter_unregister_instance may help free up some resources.

This operation may fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER under the same circumstances described for the write operation.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
instance_data	<<in>> The data to write. This function will fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER if instance_data is NULL.
handle	<<in>> Either the handle returned by a previous call to FooDataWriter_register_instance, or else the special value DDS_HANDLE_NIL. If Foo has a key and handle is not DDS_HANDLE_NIL, handle must represent a registered instance of type Foo. Otherwise, this function may fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER. This function will fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER if handle is NULL.
source_timestamp	<<in>> The timestamp value must be greater than or equal to the timestamp value used in the last writer operation (used in a register, unregister, dispose, or write, with either the automatically supplied timestamp or the application provided timestamp). This timestamp may potentially affect the order in which readers observe events from multiple writers. This timestamp will be available to the DDS_DataReader objects by means of the source_timestamp attribute inside the DDS_SampleInfo. Cannot be NULL.

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DataWriterQos_initialize

(

struct DDS_DataWriterQos *

self

)

Initializer for new QoS instances.

New DDS_DataWriterQos instances on heap should be initialized with this function before they are passed to any function. This step ensures that those contained QoS policies that use dynamic memory are properly initialized. This function does not allocate memory.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.

Returns:

One of the Standard Return Codes

See also:

DDS_DataWriterQos_finalize

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DataWriterQos_copy	(	struct DDS_DataWriterQos *	self,
		const struct DDS_DataWriterQos *	source
	)

Copy the contents of the given QoS into this QoS.

DDS_DataWriterQos instances can use dynamic memory because of the sequences contained in some QoS policies. A shallow copy by assignment is therefore unsafe. This function performs a deep-copy, allocating memory if necessary.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
source	<<in>> The DDS_DataWriterQos to copy from.

Returns:

One of the Standard Return Codes

See also:

DDS_DataWriterQos_INITIALIZER

DDS_DataWriterQos_initialize

DDS_DataWriterQos_finalize

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DataWriterQos_finalize

(

struct DDS_DataWriterQos *

self

)

Free any dynamic memory allocated by the policies in this DDS_DataWriterQos.

Some QoS policies may use dynamic memory (regardless of whether the QoS itself is in dynamic memory). This function frees that memory but otherwise leaves this QoS unchanged. It should be called on all instances before they are freed (or, in the case of stack-based instances, before they go out of scope).

This function does not leave this object in an invalid state. It is permissable to clear a QoS and then subsequently allocate new dynamic memory in one or more of its QoS policies.

Note that if this QoS instance is stored in heap memory, calling this function will not call free() on it; the user is responsible for explicitly freeing any heap-based QoS instance after calling this function.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.

Returns:

One of the Standard Return Codes

DDS_Entity* DDS_DataWriter_as_entity

(

DDS_DataWriter *

)

<<cert>> Access a DDS_DataWriter's supertype instance.

Parameters:

dataWriter

<<in>> Cannot be NULL.

Returns:

The DDS_Entity that is supertype instance of the datawriter.

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DataWriter_assert_liveliness

(

DDS_DataWriter *

self

)

<<cert>> This operation manually asserts the liveliness of this DDS_DataWriter.

This is used in combination with the LIVELINESS policy to indicate to RTI Connext DDS Micro that the DDS_DataWriter remains active.

You only need to use this operation if the LIVELINESS setting is DDS_MANUAL_BY_TOPIC_LIVELINESS_QOS. Otherwise, it has no effect.

Note: writing data via the FooDataWriter_write or FooDataWriter_write_w_timestamp operation asserts liveliness on the DDS_DataWriter itself, and its DDS_DomainParticipant. Consequently the use of assert_liveliness() is only needed if the application is not writing data regularly.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.

Returns:

One of the Standard Return Codes or DDS_RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED

See also:

DDS_LivelinessQosPolicy

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DataWriter_get_matched_subscriptions	(	DDS_DataWriter *	self,
		struct DDS_InstanceHandleSeq *	subscription_handles
	)

Retrieve the list of subscriptions currently "associated" with this DDS_DataWriter.

Matched subscriptions include all those in the same domain that have a matching DDS_Topic, compatible QoS and common partition .

The handles returned in the subscription_handles list are the ones that are used by the DDS implementation to locally identify the corresponding matched DDS_DataReader entities. These handles match the ones that appear in the DDS_SampleInfo::instance_handle field of the DDS_SampleInfo when reading the DDS_SUBSCRIPTION_TOPIC_NAME builtin topic.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
subscription_handles	<<inout>>.

Handles of all the matched subscriptions.

The sequence will be grown if the sequence has ownership and the system has the corresponding resources. Use a sequence without ownership to avoid dynamic memory allocation. If the sequence is too small to store all the matches and the system can not resize the sequence, this function will fail with DDS_RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES.

The maximum number of matches possible is configured with DDS_DomainParticipantResourceLimitsQosPolicy. You can use a zero-maximum sequence without ownership to quickly check whether there are any matches without allocating any memory. Cannot be NULL. .

Returns:

One of the Standard Return Codes, or DDS_RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES if the sequence is too small and the system can not resize it, or DDS_RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_DataWriter_get_matched_subscription_data	(	DDS_DataWriter *	self,
		struct DDS_SubscriptionBuiltinTopicData *	subscription_data,
		const DDS_InstanceHandle_t *	subscription_handle
	)

This operation retrieves the information on a subscription that is currently "associated" with the DDS_DataWriter.

The subscription_handle must correspond to a subscription currently associated with the DDS_DataWriter. Otherwise, the operation will fail and fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER. Use DDS_DataWriter_get_matched_subscriptions to find the subscriptions that are currently matched with the DDS_DataWriter.

Parameters:

self	<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
subscription_data	<<inout>>. The information to be filled in on the associated subscription. Cannot be NULL.
subscription_handle	<<in>>. Handle to a specific subscription associated with the DDS_DataReader. Cannot be NULL. . Must correspond to a subscription currently associated with the DDS_DataWriter.

Returns:

One of the Standard Return Codes, or DDS_RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED
