Member Function Documentation

bool ChannelElementBase::addInput ( shared_ptr const & input )

protectedvirtualinherited

Sets the new input channel element of this element or adds a channel to the inputs list.

Parameters

input the previous element in chain.

Returns: true if the input was set or false if this element does not support multiple inputs and the input is already set.

Reimplemented in RTT::base::MultipleInputsChannelElementBase.

Definition at line 106 of file ChannelInterface.cpp.

bool ChannelElementBase::addOutput	(	shared_ptr const &	output,
		bool	mandatory = `true`
	)

protectedvirtualinherited

Sets the new output channel element of this element or adds a channel to the outputs list.

Parameters

output	the next element in chain.
mandatory	whether the added output is mandatory for a write to succeed

Returns: true if the output was set or false if this element does not support multiple outputs and the output is already set.

bool ChannelElementBase::channelReady	(	ChannelElementBase::shared_ptr const &	caller,
		ConnPolicy const &	policy,
		internal::ConnID *	conn_id = `0`
	)

virtualinherited

This is called on the output half of a new connection by the connection factory in order to notify the output side of the new connection and check if it is ready to receive data.

Each channel element has the responsibility to pass this notification on to the next, in the direction of the input. The ConnOutputEndPoint then calls back the inputReady() method in reverse direction to notify the output that the connection was successfully established.

Returns: false if a fatal connection failure was encountered and the channel needs to be destroyed.

void ChannelElementBase::clear ( )

virtualinherited

Clears any data stored by the channel.

It means that ChannelElement::read() will return false afterwards (provided that no new data has been written on the meantime of course)

By default, the channel element forwards the calls to its input

Reimplemented in RTT::base::MultipleInputsChannelElementBase, RTT::internal::SharedConnection< T >, RTT::internal::ChannelBufferElement< T >, and RTT::internal::ChannelDataElement< T >.

bool ChannelElementBase::connected ( )

virtualinherited

Returns true, if this channel element is connected on the input or output side.

bool ChannelElementBase::connectFrom ( ChannelElementBase::shared_ptr const & input )

virtualinherited

Connects a new input to this element.

Parameters

input the previous element in chain.

bool ChannelElementBase::connectTo	(	ChannelElementBase::shared_ptr const &	output,

virtualinherited

Connects a new output to this element.

Parameters

output	the next element in chain.
mandatory	whether the added output is mandatory for a write operation to succeed

void ChannelElementBase::disconnect ( bool forward )

virtualinherited

Performs a disconnection of this channel's endpoints.

If forward is true, then the disconnection is initiated by the input endpoint. Otherwise, it has been initiated by the output endpoint.

Definition at line 130 of file ChannelInterface.cpp.

References RTT::base::ChannelElementBase::getInput(), RTT::base::ChannelElementBase::getOutput(), RTT::base::ChannelElementBase::input, RTT::base::ChannelElementBase::output, RTT::base::ChannelElementBase::removeInput(), and RTT::base::ChannelElementBase::removeOutput().

virtual bool RTT::base::ChannelElementBase::disconnect	(	ChannelElementBase::shared_ptr const &	channel,
		bool	forward
	)

virtualinherited

Performs a disconnection of a single input or output endpoint.

If forward is true, then the disconnection is initiated by the input endpoint and channel must be a connected input. Otherwise, it has been initiated by the output endpoint and channel must be a connected output. The disconnect call is only forwarded to the opposite side of the channel element after the last input/output element on either side has been removed.

The ChannelElementBase implementation ignores the given channel and disconnects unconditinally.
