DDSPSMC11_ — API corrections required to ManipulatorSelector and related functions

  • Key: DDSPSMC11_-6
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Mr. Alejandro Campos)
  • Summary:

    The free-standing functions read() and take() should not be templates.

    They are meant to be passed as function pointers to the streaming ManipulatorSelector API:

    dr >> read >> ... >> loaned_samples;
    

    This syntax is not possible with the current definition of read() and take(), because they require an explicit template argument.

    Proposed solution:
    Remove the template argument, but leave a dummy argument to avoid users passing in any no-argument function.

    DataReader.hpp
    -  template <typename SELECTOR>
    -  SELECTOR& read(SELECTOR& selector);
    +  OMG_DDS_API
    +  bool read(dds::sub::ReadModeDummyType);
    
    -  template <typename SELECTOR>
    -  SELECTOR& take(SELECTOR& selector);
    +  OMG_DDS_API
    +  bool take(dds::sub::ReadModeDummyType);
    
    TDataReader.hpp
    +class ReadModeDummyType {};
    
    …
    
    -  ManipulatorSelector
    -  operator >> (ManipulatorSelector& (manipulator)(ManipulatorSelector&));
    +        ManipulatorSelector&
    +        operator >>(bool(*manipulator)(ReadModeDummyType))
