Detailed Description

template<class T>
class RTT::base::BufferLockFree< T >

A Lock-free buffer implementation to read and write data of type T in a FIFO way.

No memory allocation is done during read or write. One thread may read and any number of threads may write this buffer.

Parameters

T	The value type to be stored in the Buffer. Example : BufferLockFree is a buffer which holds values of type A.

Member Function Documentation

template<class T>

size_type RTT::base::BufferLockFree< T >::capacity ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns the maximum number of items that can be stored in the buffer.

Returns: maximum number of items.

template<class T>

virtual void RTT::base::BufferLockFree< T >::data_sample ( const T & sample )

inlinevirtual

Initializes this buffer with a data sample, such that for dynamical allocated types T, the buffer can reserve place to hold these elements.

Postcondition: Calling this function causes all data in the buffer to be lost and the size being reset to zero.

template<class T>

bool RTT::base::BufferLockFree< T >::Pop ( reference_t item )

inlinevirtual

Read the oldest value from the buffer.

Parameters

item	is to be set with a value from the buffer.

Returns: true if something was read.

inlinevirtual

Read the whole buffer.

Parameters

items is to be filled with all values in the buffer, with items.begin() the oldest value.

Returns: the number of items read.

value_t* RTT::base::BufferLockFree< T >::PopWithoutRelease ( )

inlinevirtual

Returns a pointer to the first element in the buffer.

The pointer is only garanteed to stay valid until the next pop operation.

Note the pointer needs the be released by calling Release on the buffer.

Returns: a pointer to a sample or Zero if buffer is empty
