virtual void data_sample(const DataType &sample)=0
Provides a data sample to initialize this data object.
boost::shared_ptr< DataObjectInterface< T > > shared_ptr
Used for shared_ptr management.
virtual ~DataObjectInterface()
Destructor.
T DataType
The type of the data.
A DataObjectInterface implements multi-threaded read/write solutions.
DataObjectInterface()
Create a DataObject which is initially not reference counted.
virtual void Set(const DataType &push)=0
Set the data to a certain value.
Contains TaskContext, Activity, OperationCaller, Operation, Property, InputPort, OutputPort, Attribute.
