Issues Descriptions

Rules for evaluating liveliness by DataReader need to be clarified

  • Key: DDS15-332
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Unity Foundation, NP ( Mr. Justin Wilson)
  • Summary:

    2.2.3 (p. 96) The DataReader requests that liveliness of
    the writers is maintained by the requested
    means and loss of liveliness is detected with
    delay not to exceed the lease_duration.
    The DataWriter commits to signalling its
    liveliness using the stated means at
    intervals not to exceed the lease_duration.

    Since both the DataReader and DataWriter have a lease duration, the reference to lease_duration is ambiguous.

    2.2.3.11 (p. 107) Changes in LIVELINESS must be detected by the Service with a time-granularity greater or equal to the lease_duration. This
    ensures that the value of the LivelinessChangedStatus is updated at least once during each lease_duration and the related
    Listeners and WaitSets are notified within a lease_duration from the time the LIVELINESS changed.

    Same problem, the reference to lease_duration could refer to the writer or the reader.

    Other sections not mentioning the lease_duration may have similar problems.

    The language around on_liveliness_changed implies that changes (listener, wait set) must be communicated at least once for every lease_duration of the DataReader.

    The spec should clarify three things:
    1. How often does the DataReader evaluate the liveliness of a DataWriter? Is this at a period of at most the DataReader's lease_duration or a period of at most the DataWriter's lease_duration?
    2. When the DataReader evaluates the liveliness of a DataWriter, which lease_duration should it use, the lease_duration of the DataReader or the lease_duration of the DataWriter?
    3. Are the rules for evaluating liveliness for the purpose of ownership the same as for listeners and waitsets? This question is particularly vexing because it can lead to inconsistency where ownership should be eventually consistent.

    To illustrate the problem, consider the following a system using exclusive ownership.

    • Writer 1 has a lease_duration of 1 second but only writes/asserts every 4 seconds. Ownership strength of 1.
    • Writer 2 has a lease_duration of 1 second but only writes/asserts every 4 seconds. Ownership strength of 2.
    • Reader 1 has a lease_duration of 2 seconds.
    • Reader 2 has a lease_duration of 4 seconds.

    Let events happen according to this sequence:

    Time Writer 1 Writer 2 Reader 1 Reader 2
    1. assert      
    2.     eval  
    3.   assert    
    4.     eval eval
    5. assert      
    6.     eval  
    7.   assert    
    8.     eval eval
    9. assert      
    10.     eval  

    If we assume that the readers evaluate liveliness at a period of their own lease_duration using their own lease_duration, then Reader 2 will always see Writer 2 as the owner while Reader 1 will toggle ownership between the writers. Thus, there is no eventual consistency of exclusive ownership.

    If we assume that the readers evaluate liveliness at a period of their own lease_duration using the lease_duration of the writer, then both readers will consistently toggle and never see a live writer.

    If we assume that the readers evaluate liveliness independently for each writer at the lease_duration of the writer, then the readers will see ownership toggling but periods where writers are alive.

    Ideally, liveliness would be objective and not subjective. That is, liveliness should be based on the behavior of the writer interpretted by its lease_duration. Different readers may observe different things leading to temporary inconsistency, but eventual consistency would be guaranteed.

    If the spec choose a subjective approach, then language should be added that warns the reader of the problem and the consequences like ownership not working as expected.

Changes related to key regeneration

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    Use of CryptoTransformKeyRevisionIntHolder alias in operation parameters

    The DDS Security Specification 1.2 defines the CryptoTransformKeyRevisionIntHolder type as:

    typedef int32 CryptoTransformKeyRevisionIntHolder;

    The SPIs should use this type consistently where appropriate.
    For example, activate_key_revision SPI uses CryptoTransformKeyRevisionIntHolder to type its key_revision parameter. However, the key_revision parameter of create_local_datawriter_crypto_tokens, create_local_datareader_crypto_tokens and create_local_datareader_crypto_tokens is an int32.

    This should be changed so all these operations use CryptoTransformKeyRevisionIntHolder

    Clarify section “9.8.10.2 Key Exchange with remote DataReader

    The description in page 182 should clarify that that the participant can call create_local_datawriter_crypto_tokens multiple times (to get a crypto token sequence for different revisions).

Make the format of annotation parameters more robust

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    When an annotation application definition has a simpgle paramater the application can omit the paramater name.

    When an annotation application specifies multiple parameters it is possible to commit the parameter name for the parameter named "value" ,

    This means that an annotation that was specified with a single parameter (not called value) which is then extended will need to be modified if a second paramater is added.

    Instead it would be more flexible to say that the first paramater can be unnamed regardless of the name.

Section 7.3.1.2.1.11 is unclear

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Object Computing, Inc. - OCI ( Mr. Adam Mitz)
  • Summary:

    There are three problems.

    1. The beginning of 7.3.1.2.1.11 says “Table 18. In some cases, this is not desirable. This default behavior may be modified using the @ignore_literal_names annotation.” It is unclear what exactly may not be desirable. Perhaps this was referring to the fact that enumerator names are used in the assignability check which indeed may be undesirable.

    2. There is no way for `@ignore_literal_names` to be encoded in TypeObjects which means they are not used during discovery and cannot be used in assignability checks.

    3. The text should clarify if this is an annotation that is only applied locally and/or applied to remotes.

    DDS Security 1.2 added two elements to the Governance XSD: enable_key_revision and rtps_psk_protection_kind.
    These elements were added without specifying a value for minOccurs which according the XSD rules it would default to 1. The result of this is that existing governance documents would not be valid according to the XSD. This was not the intent

    Instead the elements should have been added specifying minOccurs="0".

Inconsistent specification of where annotations can apply

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    The specification is not consistent regarding which elements can be annotated. Specifically regarding typedef declartions.

    Section 7.2.2.6 "Annotations" says:
    "An annotation describes a piece of metadata attached to a type or an element/member/literal of an aggregated/collection/enumerated type. Annotations can also be attached to the related_type of an alias type."

    However
    section 7.3.1.2.1 (Built-in Annotations) says:

    In IDL, an annotation may be applied to any construct or sub-construct
    (see Sub Clause 7.4.15.2, [IDL]). This specification restricts the applicability of annotations to constructed types, bitmask constants, enumerated type literals, and members of aggregated types.

    I believe the intent all along was to allow annotations, such as @range and @unit in typedef. Also would be nice to align with whet IDL4 says.

    At a minimum in XTYPES we should remove the specification of where annotations apply from section 7.3.1.2.1 and instead reference 7.2.2.6.

    It would seem like.a good idea to allow application (DataReaders) to opt in or out of matching writers that have types with incompatible @range and/or @unit. If so mechanisms should be provided to configure this and make sure the complete TypeIdentifier is propagated in those cases as the corresponding TypeObject is the only one that has the information of @range and @unit.

    Structure types can inherit from other structure types as long as:

    • The derived type does not define any key fields.
      Is this really what we want to do. Will it break some definition where the "base type" is just being reused as a "header"?

    I propose to change the first sentence to

    • The derived type does not define any key fields if any of its ancestor types is non nested.

    This restores viability for the mentioned use case where the base type(s) are just being used as header(s).
    It hinges on the assumption that if all base types are nested then the question of assignability does not arise at the topic level.

Does @try_contruct(TRIM) leave strings with valid UTF-8 and UTF-16?

  • Summary:

    This is related to https://issues.omg.org/issues/DDSXTY14-13, and it might actually be covered by it, but I can't read into the comments at the moment to see if this specific issue was mentioned. As mentioned in 7.2.2.2.1, strings should be either UTF-8 or UTF-16. @try_construct(TRIM) can cause strings to be truncated. If they are truncated in the middle of a UTF-8 multi-byte code point or UTF-16 surrogate pair, then it would leave invalid data at the end of the string. Ideally an implementation could read trim the strings intelligently, but the spec should say what the behavior is.

Other operations either can't normally fail, return an interface that can be null, or return a ReturnCode_t. At least in the C++ Language Mapping, create_sample can return a struct or a union by value, so it can't be null in those cases (section 5.11). I imagine this might be different in other mappings though.

Builtin Auth dependency on Access Control details

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Object Computing, Inc. - OCI ( Mr. Adam Mitz)
  • Summary:

    (This may be a moot point depending on the resolution of DDSSEC12-13.)

    The row of Table 52 that describes validate_local_identity states that the QoS it receives must contain the properties defined in section 9.3.1. These properties are the ones starting with dds.sec.auth.

    The problem is that for begin_handshake_* (either variant) to work, validate_local_identity must also receive the property dds.sec.access.permissions. This should be noted in the requirements for validate_local_identity: it must store the QoS, or at least this property, in a location that can be looked up by IdentityHandle so that handshake tokens can be created. Alternatively, the begin_handshake_* operations could be extended to receive this info separately.

    Another connection between the two plugins is made by the PermissionsCredentialToken. If the intent is to use this data when generating handshake handles, that should be noted in tables 49-50 (c.perm) instead of referencing QoS policies there.

class_id string in Authentication/Permissions Tokens should include spec version

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    The class_id attribute in various Tokens includes the Plugin Name and a version number. The intention was that the version number would track the specification version so that it could be used to understand the format of the Token.

    However this is not done consistently. Currently the following class_id are used:

    token class_id
    IdentityToken "DDS:Auth:PKI-DH:1.0"
    AuthenticatedPeerCredentialToken "DDS:Auth:PKI-DH:1.0"
    AuthRequestMessageToken "DDS:Auth:PKI-DH:1.0+AuthReq"
    HandshakeRequestMessageToken "DDS:Auth:PKI-DH:1.0+Req"
    HandshakeReplyMessageToken "DDS:Auth:PKI-DH:1.0+Reply"
    HandshakeFinalMessageToken "DDS:Auth:PKI-DH:1.0+Final”
    PermissionsToken "DDS:Access:Permissions:1.0"
    PermissionsCredentialToken "DDS:Access:PermissionsCredential"
    CryptoToken "DDS:Crypto:AES_GCM_GMAC"

    As it can be seen some class_ids are missing the version number. The ones that have it use "1.0" instead of "1.1" which is the version of the spec. Finally when there are multiple tokens with the same class ID a suffix preceded by a "+" is uses to differentiate them, but this is not done in all cases.

    The goal of this issue is to correct this irregularities. So DDS Security version 1.2 should modify the Token as follows:

    token class_id
    IdentityToken "DDS:Auth:PKI-DH:1.2"
    AuthenticatedPeerCredentialToken "DDS:Auth:PKI-DH:1.2+AuthPeer"
    AuthRequestMessageToken "DDS:Auth:PKI-DH:1.2+AuthReq"
    HandshakeRequestMessageToken "DDS:Auth:PKI-DH:1.2+Req"
    HandshakeReplyMessageToken "DDS:Auth:PKI-DH:1.2+Reply"
    HandshakeFinalMessageToken "DDS:Auth:PKI-DH:1.2+Final”
    PermissionsToken "DDS:Access:Permissions:1.2"
    PermissionsCredentialToken "DDS:Access:Permissions:1.2+Cred"
    CryptoToken "DDS:Crypto:AES_GCM_GMAC:1.2"

    Note that this change is not intended to break backwards interoperability. So the proposal could/should be adjusted to ensure that. Specifically the change in the name for the PermissionsCredentialToken should not impact interoperability as this token is not exchanged between participants. The same is true for the addition of the "+AuthPeer" to the AuthenticatedPeerCredentialToken.

    See for example how it is done for the DCPSParticipantMessageSecure builtin Topic (section 7.4.2) where it refers to the Qos of other builtin Topics and also how it is done for the TopicBuiltinParticipantVolatileMessageSecureWriter and BuiltinParticipantVolatileMessageSecureReader (section 7.4.4.2 ) where it defines it explicitly.

encode_rtps_message/decode_rtps_message error and status reporting

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Object Computing, Inc. - OCI ( Mr. Adam Mitz)
  • Summary:

    8.5.1.9.4 (4th pgh) describes that encode_rtps_message may determine that no encoding is necessary. This is currently an awkward fit with the common API design of returning a boolean and "setting" or "not setting" an exception struct. What does "not setting" the exception struct mean in practice? How does an implementation portably handle this?

    It would be better to have an enum or integer return type so that the plugin can more directly influence the implementation's control flow, with distinct return values for OK_ENCODED, OK_NOT_ENCODED, ERROR, possibly others.

    A similar issue occurs with decode_rtps_message (8.5.1.9.5). Because key exchange happens asynchronously with respect to encoded message transmission, the plugin may not be able to decode a given message. Simply "returning an exception" in this case is not ideal since the calling code should probably log this exception and it may raise alarms.

    Extending this idea of enum (or integer constants) return types instead of boolean to other CryptoTransform operations may also be useful. For example, the other encode operations could return a OK_NOT_ENCODED instead of copying data.

Size of permission file sent on authentication can exceed max IP packet size

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    The Permission File is an XML file. The signature is also encoded as text. For large systems with a lot of Topics the size can grow to be quite big. This is amplified by the fact that it is possible and convenient to combine the permissions of multiple participants into a single file. This size can exceed the 64KB max size of IP.

    An additional problem is that the permissions file is sent during the authentication handshake. The authentication handshake uses a special "best efforts stateless" that does not support fragmentation of large packets. This is done on purpose to make the channel to be robust to sequence number attacks but it results on the inability to send these large permission files.

    This could be addressed by separating the permissions from the authentication handshake and there is already an issue filed for this, see DDSSEC12-13.

    However there is a simple solution that can make the current approach more scalable. The proposed approach is to send the Permissions document compressed rather than in their current text form.

    Users are already hitting this limit so this issue requests that capability to send the permissions compressed is added with high priority, even if later a more general solution is developed as requested in DDSSEC12-13.

Provide efficient way to skip encrypted implementation-specific content

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    The RTPS specification allows implementations to send implementation-specific RTPS sub-messages inside an RTPS message. These submessages are distinguished by having submessageId's within a specific range.

    Prior to DDS security skipping implementation-specific RTPS sub-messages was very efficient requiring only the receiver to jump their length indicated in. the header.
    However with DDS security the submessages can be encrypted inside a SRTPS_PREFIX/SUFFIX envelope this requires the receiver to always decrypt them even if it will end up skipping them.
    An extreme, but likely common case is when the SRTPS_PREFIX/SUFFIX contains exclusively implementation-specific RTPS sub-messages which makes the effort to decrypt the RTPS message fruitless.

    A way to resolve this would be to designate a flag in the SRTPA_PREFIX submessage to indicate that the content contains only vendor-specific submessages. A receiver can use this flag to skip the whole RTPS message avoiding the effort to decrypt i n the event that the sender vendorId does not match the receiver's.

    The proposal therefore is to designate the leftmost flag of the SRTPS_PREFIX submessage to indicate it contains only "vendor specific content".

  • Summary:

    The specification provides mechanisms to extend the set of cryptographic algorithms in future revisions.
    The specification also provides mechanisms to extend the set of cryptographic algorithms by a single vendor without requiring a revision of the standard. Those extended algorithms will be understood by the vendor and ignored by others.
    What is not clear is if two vendors can agree to use another cryptographic algorithm and interoperate. This use-case may be relevant to an end-user that is using multiple vendors and wants to have those vendors work together to use a new crypto algorithm

    This issue requests some mechanism to support this last use case.

Problematic use of multiple INFO_SRC within an RTPS

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    The RTPS spec allows a single RTPS message to contain multiple INFO_SRC submessages, effectively changing the Participant GUID of the sending Participant.

    This seems problematic for DDS Security since the cryptograophic material is tied to that Participant GUID (e.g. the RTPS protection).
    Also INFO_SRC does not work well with the new RTPS_HEADER_EXTENSION.

    How commonly is this capability used? It is worth finding a way to make DDS-Security work with it or would it be better to disallow it.

    Should it be disallowed just for DDS-Security or for DDS in general?

Parsing messages generated by encode_serialized_payload (auth only)

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Object Computing, Inc. - OCI ( Mr. Adam Mitz)
  • Summary:

    When "performing authentication only," the encode_serialized_payload operation wraps the SerializedPayload inside CryptoHeader and CryptoFooter. This resulting byte stream takes the place of the original SerializedPayload submessage element in a Data(Frag) submessage.

    On the receiving side, this modified submessage element is passed to decode_serialized_payload. The problem comes in parsing this CryptoHeader-SeralizedPayload-CryptoFooter group.

    The CryptoHeader is of fixed size and only contains octet-width data (therefore has no padding), so parsing it and determining where SerializedPaylod starts is trivial.

    Then the implementation needs to determine where SerializedPayload ends in order to determine which bytes to authenticate. There is no in-stream indication of where the SerializePayload ends.

    One possibility would be to look at the end of the byte sequence that decode_serialized_payload received and "step backwards" by the length of the CryptoFooter, however the CryptoFooter is variable length (with receiver_specific_macs). Even if the implementation has external knowledge that receiver_specific_macs are not in use, the alignment requirement of the plugin_sec_tag.receiver_specific_macs.length effectively makes this a variable-length element (also see issue #58).

    To resolve this, an additional element for "length" could be added before the SerializedPayload, just like the CryptoContent submessage element does. This would make parsing the encoded payload similar for the encrypt and auth-only cases.

AES-GCM doesn't add padding

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Object Computing, Inc. - OCI ( Mr. Adam Mitz)
  • Summary:

    In 9.5.3.3.4.2 remove this part:
    "Note that the cipher operations have 16-byte block-size and add padding when needed. Therefore the secure data.length (“N”) will always be a multiple of 16."

    AES-GCM doesn't add padding. The implication of this is that the CryptoContent Submessage Element may end at an arbitrary point in the stream (from the point of view of alignment). Bringing the stream "back into alignment" will depend on the usage context:

    • When encoding payload, the CryptoFooter follows directly after CryptoContent. This means that CryptoFooter's first element (common_mac) may start unaligned. Then receiver_specific_macs.length appears in the stream as a 32-bit value so it will be preceded by 0-3 padding bytes depending on the length of CryptoContent.
    • When encoding a submessage or full message, CryptoContent is followed by the start of another submessage which must be aligned to 4 per the RTPS spec.

Clarify the configuration and use of certificate chains for Identity

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    Section 9.3.1.3 (Identity Certificate) indicates it is possible to use certificate chains.

    However the language of this section is confusing because an X.509 v3 Certificate does not contain a chain. It is a single certificate. What can contain a chain of certificates is a file. E.g. the standard "PEM" file format referenced in Table 44 can contain a certificate chain.

    To clarify this the following modifications are suggested:
    (1) In table 44, row for "identity_certificate" change from:
    "URI to a X509 certificate signed by the IdentityCA in PEM format"...
    To
    "URI to a X509 certificate (or certificate chain) signed by the IdentityCA, either as the root CA or as an intermediate CA, in PEM format"

    (2) In section 9.3.1.3 change from:
    "An X.509 v3 Certificate [39] that chains up to the Identity CA (see 9.3.1.1)."
    To:
    "A X.509 v3 Certificate chain [39] that is signed by the Identity CA (see 9.3.1.1) either as the root or as an intermediate CA in the chain"

    (3) In section 9.3
    In bullet 3. Clarify it may not be a single X.509 rather it can be a chain.

    (4) In table 49, field "c.id" indicate this is not a single certificate but a certificate chain. As that is what was configured in the PropertyQosPolicy.

    (5) In table 50, field "c.id" indicate this is not a single certificate but a certificate chain. As that is what was configured in the PropertyQosPolicy.

    (5) In table 52, field "validate_local_identity" indicate this is not a single certificate but a certificate chain.

    (6) In Table 53 IdentityCertificate is undefined. Maybe it should be "identity_certificate" and refer to the property defined in Table 44.

Modify Security's QoS changes for compatibility with RTPS

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Object Computing, Inc. - OCI ( Mr. Adam Mitz)
  • Summary:

    Section 7.2.5 changes QoS in ways that break RTPS compatibility, however minor modifications can fix this.

    Because the mapping for PropertyQosPolicy in Table 10 (is this an implied entry in Table 12 as well?) conflicts with RTPS's definition of PID 0x59, the Binary Property values may not be sent on the wire. Note that RTPS has no concept of appendable extensibility, and requires backwards compatibility for all 2.x versions.

    We can represent this restriction on PropertyQosPolicy in IDL4:

    @extensibility(FINAL)
    struct PropertyQosPolicy {
      PropertySeq value;
    
      @non-serialized
      BinaryPropertySeq binary_value;
    };
    

    The practical effect of this change is that any BinaryProperty entry with propagate == TRUE is not actually propagated inside PropertyQosPolicy. However a search through the specification indicates that there is no requirement for this, at least for built-in plugins. Any other plugins are necessarily vendor specific so those are not necessarily restricted from using an appendable policy, as long as they are aware of the compatibility issues (for allow_unauthenticated_participants == TRUE).

    Also, for consistency the Tag and DataTags structs could be made @extensibility(FINAL). This is not as important since only Security-aware implementations will know about DataTagQosPolicy.

Security for DDS-RPC

  • Status: open   Implementation work Blocked
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    DDS security does not provide any additional means to secure the DDS-RPC service calls. Absent this the protection would be based on the underlying DDS Topics.

    DDS-RPC maps all operations of an interface to two unkeyed Topics. One for the request and one for the reply. The request Topic is used for all operations and likewise the reply Topic.

    Thus relying on the underlying Topics would provide access control granularity at the level of the service and not allow to give narrower permissions. E.g. invoke certain operations and not others. This is not acceptable in some deployment situations.

    One solution may be to make the Topics keyed by the operation. This is possible now that IDL42 allows the discriminator of a union to act as the key.

    Alternatively DDS-Security could specify some other mechanism, for example designate a data-tag to indicate the operations that the request DataWriter may invoke. The receiver side would check that the operation invoked matches the DataWriter tag before processing the request.

Allow expressions to be used in the data-tag permissions

    For consistency with the way we match the permissions for Topic and Partitions we should also allow an expression for the tag-value portion. This is only for the permission rule itself. Not for the DataTag QosPolicy.

    So to match the rule the DataTag name in the Qos must exactly match the name in the permissions document (no expressions here) and the DataTag value in the Qos should match (using fnmatch) the expression in the permissions document.

Avoid sending permissions as part of Authentication Handshake

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    The authentication handshake requires participants to exchange their permission files. This is done as clear text.

    Visibility into the permissions file leaks information as to what the system Topic names are as well as what the application publishes and subscribes. This can be sensitive for some systems.

    Aside form this sending this document is potentially expensive as the knowledge could be available on a separate channel.

    The RTF should look share this information only with authenticated participants and possibly also avoid sending it if it is already known to the peer participant.

    Related this is the fact that permissions are "monolithic" of you need to add a permission to a Participant you need to create and sign a new document. Would be nice to have some way to grant/propagate incremental permissions. E.g. something that could be bundled into the propagation of the Endpoint discovery data itself.

Instance-Level access-control

  • Summary:

    The Security plugin model supports being able to control access to each DDS Topic instance (instead of just controlling access to the DDS Topic). However the builtin plugin permission files do not provide a way to configure these permissions.

    This is important for many DDS-Security use-cases where each instance represents a different object and needs to separately indicate who has access to it. For example imaging a "CarPosition" topic that is used to publish the position of cars. Someone may be given permission to suscribe or publish its own car position, but not other cars. Likewise a manufactured or insurance company may be given permissions to the cars that they manage but not others.

Built-in Authentication and Cryptography plugins tied together by SharedSecretHandle implementation

  • Key: DDSSEC13-2
  • Status: open  
  • Source: THALES ( Cyril Dangerville)
  • Summary:

    An implementation of the built-in Cryptography plugin is not compatible with the local implementation of the built-in Authentication, unless it uses/understands the same type of SharedSecretHandle. (SharedSecretHandle is the interface defined at the architecture level.) Therefore, the two built-in plugins are tied together and you cannot replace one or another with any other implementation of the same built-in plugin.
    It is possible to make them independent in two possible ways (at least):

    1. Define a BuiltinSharedSecretHandle that extends SharedSecretHandle interface, and has 3 methods like this:
      • octet[] getChallenge1(): returns challenge1 from the authentication handshake
      • octet[] getChallenge2(): returns challenge2 from the authentication handshake
      • octet[] getSharedSecret(): returns the shared secret from the authentication handshake
    2. OR define a new type of Token (IDL structure) - e.g. HandshakeResultToken - for the final output of the Authentication handshake like this:
      • class_id DDS:Auth:PKI-DH:1.0+Result
      • binary_properties: challenge1, challenge2, SharedSecret

    In both cases, it would change the specs of the methods get_shared_secret() and return_shared_handle() of the Authentication plugin, section 9.3.3.

Complexity of Authentication Plugin Model

  • Key: DDSSEC13-1
  • Legacy Issue Number: 19793
  • Status: open  
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Mr. Julien Enoch)
  • Summary:

    The Authentication Plugin Model specifies a state machine to be implemented by the DDS middleware to manage the authentication of the remote Participants. The implementation of this state machine is complex because:

    • It is not specified when to call validate_remote_identity (for each received SPDP or only for the first received SPDP from a newly discovered Participant? What if a malicious Participant send a SPDP at first, usurping the GUID of a legit Participant?)
    • The handshake could be initiated from both sides at nearly the same time (nothing forbid this in §8.3)
    • There is no indication in the specification to tell how parallel handshakes between 2 Participants should interact
    • It is difficult to determine at which sense a received message belongs
    • In §8.3.2.8.1 it's specified that "The DDS security implementation shall pass to the AuthenticationPlugin any message received by the BuiltinParticipantStatelessMessageReader...". But there are states in the state machine where it's not specified how to pass those messages (e.g. when validate_remote_identity has not been called yet, and the state machine is not initialized)

    This results in quite complex code, and this is a weakness in a mechanism which needs to be very strong.

    Anyway, the state machine in the middleware is redundant with the one needed in the plugin. In addition, it has to deal with events where it doesn't know what is really going on. Only the plugin has the real information. Therefore, we think this middleware state machine is useless, add extra complexity which makes the authentication less robust, and consumes a lot of resources.

    Instead, we suggest to remove it and to change the mechanism to the following:

    • remove all the "_handshake" methods on the Authentication Plugin
    • add a treat_message method to the authentication plugin to handle any incoming authentication ParticipantStatelessMessage
    • add a send_message method to the authentication listener interface to tell the middleware to send an authentication ParticipantStatelessMessage
    • add a validated_remote_participant method to the authentication listener interface to tell the middleware that the indicated participant is authenticated
    • add a invalidated_remote_participant method to the authentication listener interface to tell the middleware that the indicated participant is not authenticated
    • once the authentication is initialised with validate_remote_identity, all the state machine is managed directly by the plugin which sends the appropriate messages and is given the received ones, until its decision is given to the DDS middleware through the authentication listener.

    This will provide the necessary functionality in a much simple, efficient and robust manner.

Ambiguous definition and/or usage of PUSH(ORIGIN=0)

  • Summary:

    Note: This issue was filed by Sam Nosenzo in RTF 3. As the RTF 3 is already close it has been copied to RTF4

    The description of PUSH states:
    ```
    Pushes the specified XCDR stream variable VARIABLE
    into the stack and sets the current value to <newvalue>.
    The notation <?> indicates that the new value can be
    chosen by the implementation.
    This action is reverted by the POP() operation
    ```
    However the first serialization rule that writes the HEADER calls

    `PUSH(ORIGIN=0)` after writing the ENCHEADER, even though it's already been set to 0 on initialization. PUSH(ORIGIN=0) is also called after writing PL_CDR headers. I'm confused as to what this is supposed to mean. Based off of the current definition of PUSH I would be lead to believe that it truly does set the origin equal to 0. However looking at it's usage I would think that PUSH(ORIGIN=0) should mean that the origin is reset to where the current offset is, and based of of what I've seen in PL_CDRv1 messages with 8 byte members, this has been a correct assumption.
    Another confusing element around the usage of PUSH is that I don't see POP used anywhere in the Serialization rules.

XCDR2 serialization of sequences of non-primitive elements

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    When serializing a sequences of non-primitive elements, the XTYPES spec requires serializing a DHEADER ahead of serializing the number of elements and each element. This is rule (12)

    Arrays of non-primitive elements also serializing the DHEADER but not the number of elements. This is rule (9)

    I think it would make sense to modify or at least relax these rules.
    At a minimum arrays and sequeces of enumerated types and bitmask types should not have a DHEADER as it does not add information beyond what is available knowing the number of elements and size of each element. That it, they should behave as primitives (basically they are integers).

    Additionally it may be better to not have the DHEADER at all for sequences and arrays. Or at least for sequences or arrays whose elements are final.

    Basically the "extensibility" of the sequence is already handled by having the number of elements and having a DHEADER adds nothing and makes types that contain sequences of FINAL incompatible with XCDR1. This is a side-effect that we did not want or anticipate. Otherwise types that are constructed from only FINAL types would be compatible between XCDR1 and XCDR2 (except for 8-byte aligned types).

  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    This issue was raised by Idar Carlsen (Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace)

    In the X-Types 1.3 specification, under the “7.4.3.5.3 Complete Serialization Rules” section, it says that non-trivial maps should have a DHEADER when XCDR2 is used (rule 15). Notably, it only has the DHEADER – unlike the version 1 encoding, the size (in terms of numbers of entries) of the map is not serialized. This differs from how sequences are serialized, as they include the size as well. Is this correct, or should the size of the map also be serialized in addition to the DHEADER?

    It seems to me that some of the other DDS implementations include the size, even though the specification does not say so.

DDS::Time_t/Duration_t changes


DDS defines Time_t with seconds as long, this is 32bit. This will give an issue after 2038

  • Key: DDS15-13

  • Summary:

    DDS defines Time_t with seconds as long, this is 32bit. This will give an issue after 2038, almost all operating systems are now defining time as 64bit, shouldn't DDS do the same?

    In addition, the the standard does not define the calendar time of Time_t at

    { sec = 0, nanosec = 0 }

    This is required in order to convert a Time_t to/from a system's native time (such the the type time_t on Unix systems which has the calendar start time 1970-01-01 00:00:00).

Proper interpretation of Duration_t for negative values

  • Key: DDS15-331
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    The specification does not fully define the meaning of a Duration_t when the second part is negative.

    struct Duration_t {
        long sec;
        unsigned long nanosec;
    };
    

    What is he interpretation of a value when sec <0?
    Does the nanosec part get interpreted to have the same sign?
    If so, then the number between 0 < x < -1 cannot be represented

    So the most logical way to interpret a negative value for the sec field appears to be:

    value = sec + nanosec 
    

    where sec can be positive or negative but nanosec is always positive.
    So the value of negative 1ms would be represented as:

    sec = -1
    nanosec = 999,000,000
    

    The specification should define the proper interpretation.

Ambiguous definition and/or usage of PUSH(ORIGIN=0)

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Foxglove Technologies Inc ( Sam Nosenzo)
  • Summary:

    The description of PUSH states:
    ```
    Pushes the specified XCDR stream variable VARIABLE
    into the stack and sets the current value to <newvalue>.
    The notation <?> indicates that the new value can be
    chosen by the implementation.
    This action is reverted by the POP() operation
    ```
    However the first serialization rule that writes the HEADER calls `PUSH(ORIGIN=0)` after writing the ENCHEADER, even though it's already been set to 0 on initialization. PUSH(ORIGIN=0) is also called after writing PL_CDR headers. I'm confused as to what this is supposed to mean. Based off of the current definition of PUSH I would be lead to believe that it truly does set the origin equal to 0. However looking at it's usage I would think that PUSH(ORIGIN=0) should mean that the origin is reset to where the current offset is, and based of of what I've seen in PL_CDRv1 messages with 8 byte members, this has been a correct assumption.
    Another confusing element around the usage of PUSH is that I don't see POP used anywhere in the Serialization rules.

Update IDL definition of union TypeIdentifier in Annex B to account for primitive types

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    The union TypeIdentifier definitoon in Annex B contain several cases commended out. This is done because (per the comment in the IDL) union cases all have to have an associated member/value

    // All primitive types fall here.
    // Commented-out because Unions cannot have cases with no member.
    /*
    case TK_NONE:
    case TK_BOOLEAN:
    case TK_BYTE_TYPE:
    case TK_INT8_TYPE:
    case TK_INT16_TYPE:
    ...
    

    Since the union discriminator is an octet, it is possible to set it to the values shown in the comment (e.g. TK_INT8_TYPE) in this situation since the case member is not shown the discriminator will be set but no branch would be selected so there is no associated value.
    In other words, we can get the desired behavior of having the discriminator set but no value selected (so nothing beyond the discriminator is serialized), but we cannot express the expectation of all those cases in the IDL...

    This could be corrected in two ways:
    (1) We could use a enumerated value with @bit_bound(8) as the type of the discriminator instead of the octet. The list of literals would make it obvious what the expected values for the discriminator
    (2) We could keep the union discriminated by an octet and uncomment all the cases for the primitive types. Then we would need to add a "dummy" member so the case has an associated value, but we could mark it @non_serialized so it has no impact on the wire representation.

    It would seem that (1) is cleaner but (2) is less disruptive...

Clarify accessing discriminator of a DynamicData union

  • Source: Object Computing, Inc. - OCI ( Mr. Adam Mitz)
  • Summary:

    It's not clear how a user of a DynamicData object that represents a union gets the discriminator value. We derive the following:

    // see pgh 1 of 7.2.2.4.4.3 for use of "discriminator" as a magic string
    const MemberId id_disc = dyndata->get_member_id_by_name("discriminator"); 
    if (id_disc == MEMBER_ID_INVALID) { some error happened }
    // based on union_type_descriptor.discriminator_type->get_kind(), determine the type of the discriminator
    // in this example, let's say it's an IDL long
    int val;
    dyndata->get_int32_value(val, id_disc);
    

    It would be better for the spec to have a clearly defined way of getting a MemberId that represents the discriminator. It could be a new API in DynamicType or TypeDescriptor.

Description on how to encode Participant GUID in dds::rpc::RequestHeader seems wrong

  • Status: open  
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Mr. Erik Hendriks)
  • Summary:

    Section 7.6.3.3.4 states the following sentence on how to encode the Participant GUID into the dds::rpc::RequestHeader:

    The Service instanceName that appears in the dds::rpc::RequestHeader shall be set to the string obtained by concatenating the prefix “dds.builtin.TOS .” With the 16-character string version of the DomainParticipant GUID encoded using hexadecimal digits with lower case letters. There shall be no “0x” ahead of the hexadecimal digits. For example, “dds.builtin.TOS.123456789abcdf0”

    This seems to imply that you need to encode the Participant GUID as a 16 digit hexadedecimal string, which wouldn't allow you to represent the entire GUID. Probably the 16 bytes do no intend to refer to the hexadecimal digits of the string representation, but rather to the 16 bytes of the GUID itself. A couple of paragraphs further down it refers to the DDS-RPC spec, where indeed the 16 byte restriction is not mentioned:

    The dds::rpc::RequestHeader in the TypeLookup_Request and the TypeLookup_Reply shall be set as specified in the [DDS-RPC] specification.

Impossible to handle @must_understand AND @optional fields in an @appendable struct correctly

  • Status: open   Implementation work Blocked
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Mr. Erik Hendriks)
  • Summary:

    The XTypes spec seems to suggest that @must_understand fields are applicable to any non-final datatype. Section 7.3.1.2.1.9 mentions this:

    "By default, the assignment from an object of type T2 into an object of type T1 where T1 and T2 are non-final types will ignore any members in T2 that are not present in T1. This behavior may be changed by applying the @must_understand annotation to a member within a type definition."

    That would mean that @must_understand fields are also applicable to @appendable structs, but in this case there is no way for a field to be identified as must_understand field in its Delimited-CDR representation.

    Of course you could state that in case of @appendable structs, you should determine assignability at discovery time and not at run time, in which case you are not dependent on the availability of a must_understand bit in the serialized blob. However, in case a Writer publishes a sample with a field that is both @must_understand AND @optional, according Table 19 (section 7.2.4.4.8) there is no mismatch between this Writer and a Reader that is missing the field (that is only the case if the field has @optional set to FALSE), which means the sample needs to be matched at runtime.

    The spec is a little unclear of the semantics in this case: I guess that if the optional value is empty but must_understand you can slice it out of the projected type, but when it is not empty you are not allowed to slice the value out since it is a must_understand value and you will have to discard the whole sample instead. It would be nice if the spec could explicitly confirm or deny this.

    But working from the presumption that you are indeed allowed to slice out values that are both empty and must_understand, the next problem arises immediately: how does a Reader know that a sample containing an unfamiliar field actually represents an optional field that is must_understand?

    Let's consider a scenario where I have a Reader that is reading a type A with the following defintion:

    @appendable struct A {
        @key long id;
         long x;
    };
    

    Now this Reader can be matched against all sorts of Writers, including Writers that have appended all kinds of fields to the end of this datatype: its deserializer simply slices everything out that comes after field x.

    This works well for most appended versions of this datatype, but now suddenly an additional Writer joins the system with the following definition:

    @appendable struct A {
        @key long id;
         long x;
        @optional @must_understand long y;
    };
    

    This Writer will match the Reader according to Table 19 since although the @must_understand annotation is TRUE, the corresponding @optional field is NOT false. So now the deserializer for our Reader has to deserialize a sample for which it doesn't know what the payload after the x actually represents. It might represent a value that it can safely slice out, or it might represent a value that may not be sliced out.

    The spec states in rule number 20 of section 7.4.3.5.3 that in case of XCDRV2, an optional member is preceeded by a boolean called is_present. The problem here is that our deserializer doesn't know where the sample originates from therefore has no knowledge whether the byte following field x represent an is_present boolean or just some other sliceable field.

    So the basic question boils down to this:

    • Do we allow fields that are both must_understand and optional in case of Appendable extensibility?
    • If so, how do we indicate in this case that a field is both optional and must_understand in a preferably backward compatible way?

    This definition can't be used in an XTypes implementation, at least in one using standard IDL. register_type and get_type_name can't use those names because a derived interface can't define operations that share names with ones in its base interfaces. This is described at the end of 7.4.3.4.3.2.1 in IDL 4.2. Another issue is the "static" operations. They get the point across as to what the author means but, they are also not usable as IDL can't define operations as static. DynamicTypeBuilderFactory and DynamicDataFactory also do this.

Anonymous Types in Strongly Connected Components

  • Status: open   Implementation work Blocked
  • Source: Object Computing, Inc. - OCI ( Mr. Adam Mitz)
  • Summary:

    Section 7.3.4.9.2 describes the algorithm for computing type identifiers for strongly connected components. Step 4b says

    If the Strongly Connected Component (SCC) has multiple types, then sort them using the lexicographic order of their fully qualified type name. Let SCCIndex(U) be the sort index of each type U belonging to the SCC starting with index 1 for the first type. For anonymous types concatenate the fully qualified name of the containing type with the member name using “.” as the separator, for example “MyModule::MyStruct.myMember”.

    This does not cover all possibilities for anonymous types. To illustrate, the following IDL with recursive types uses an anonymous type in a typedef:

    struct NodeData {
      long l_data;
    };
    struct TreeNode;
    typedef sequence<@external TreeNode> Children;
    struct TreeNode {
      NodeData data;
      Children children;
    };
    

    The algorithm requires a name for sequence<@external TreeNode>. In general, the rule for naming anonymous types in step 4b must be expanded to include anywhere an anonymous type may appear including structs, unions, typedefs, and other anonymous types.

    An additional, related, problem is that given the definition of Plain...
    7.3.4.1 “Plain types only have a TypeIdentifier. Non-plain types have both a TypeIdentifier and a TypeObject.”
    the children field of TreeNode of the SCC example in 7.3.4.8 is a Plain Collection and has no TypeObject

    struct NodeData {
      long l_data;
    };
    struct TreeNode {
      NodeData data;
      sequence<@external TreeNode> children;
    };
    

    Step 4(b)ii of the algorithm in 7.3.4.9.2 requires that all of the types in an SCC have a TypeObject 4(b)ii.
    Possible Solutions and Notes:
    The algorithm implies that all of the types involved in a Strongly Connected Component have a type identifier of TI_STRONGLY_CONNECTED_COMPONENT. The precludes the use of the Plain Collections in Strongly Connected Components. Thus, if the algorithm of 7.3.4.9.2 is not revised, then the definition of Plain Collections needs to be revised to exclude those involved in a Strongly-Connected Component.

Inconsistency in the wire representation of SequenceNumber type fields

Dynamic Binding: equals() for DynamicType/DynamicTypeMember and related types

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Object Computing, Inc. - OCI ( Mr. Adam Mitz)
  • Summary:

    Definition of equality is based on the "Properties" of the class as defined by the UML models (for example, Table 54). However, associations/aggregations (which are not properties) are just as important for equality. An example is the TypeDescriptor that's associated with each DynamicType. While not a Property, the state of TypeDescriptor is effectively part of the state of DynamicType.

    A related issue is that DynamicTypeMembers can only be equal "if they belong to the same type." This seems to be both unnecessary and prevents certain valid use cases. An application may want to determine if two different structs each have a string member of a certain name. Based on the Type System model (sect 7.2) it would be natural to apply the equals() operation on the members to check their logical equality independent of which struct they're declared in.

Wrong data type for serializedPayload in DATAFRAG

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Atostek Oy ( Juhana Helovuo)
  • Summary:

    Table 8.42 gives the Structure of the DataFrag Submessage. The last field is specified to have type "SerializedPayload". If this would be the case, the contents of that field should be decodable as a SerializedPayload object, as specified in Section 10, but really the field seems to contain just a fragment of a SerializedPayload. A complete series of fragments must be concatenated to get a valid SerializedPayload. Therefore, the type should be changed to indicate that it is a fragment, not a whole object.

    A similar problem exists in Section 9.4.5.5 DataFrag Submessage.

    More generally, there seems to be confusion in terminology between SerializedPayload / SerializedData / SerializedDataFragment.

    The latter two seem to be suitable for use in the payload field of Data and DataFrag submessages, respectively, and they are defined in 8.3.5.17 -.18, but SerializedPayload is not defined in 8.3.5 at all.

    Section 9.4.2 (PSM) again does not define a mapping for SerializedData / SerializedDataFragment, but for SerializedPayload instead.

    Please clarify the relationship between the aforementioned terms.

    In the version 2.3 specs, a gap is inserted in case a cache change isn't available in the history cache. In the 2.5 specs, only the highest previously sent sequence number is taken into account to determine if agap should be inserted.
    The shown logical actions will fail if the cache change with a_change_seq_num can't be located in the cache. in which case a gap should be inserted as well as in the 2.3 specs. Considering the explanation given for sending a gap because of the HISTORY QoS set to KEEP_LAST in the last paragraph on page 82, one should definitely consider the situation that a cache change is missing.

The "depth" QoS setting does not have any bounds set

  • Key: DDS15-327
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Open Robotics ( William Woodall)
  • Summary:

    The description of the history depth QoS setting indicates it is optional and only used when KEEP_LAST is the history kind, and that it is a long (or sometimes referred to as an integer/int), and that the default value is 1, and that it needs to be consistent with related RESOURCE_LIMITS QoS settings, but it does not specify a bounds nor does it explicitly state that the bounds are actually any valid (signed) long value. So a few boundary cases are not well defined, for example:

    • is KEEP_LAST with depth 0 valid? If so, is it a special behavior?
    • what about negative values for depth?

    RTI's Connext Pro documentation limits it to values greater than zero and less than 100,000,000:

    > "[range] [1,100 million], <= DDS_ResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_samples_per_instance"
    https://community.rti.com/static/documentation/connext-dds/6.0.1/doc/api/connext_dds/api_c/structDDS__HistoryQosPolicy.html#aef0fb3fd3579866be17d1a936f5e3729

    Other implementations like Cyclone DDS and Fast-DDS will accept values of zero, though it's not clear what they're behavior is in that case.

    Those are useful to imply what the behavior is, but I think the standard should probably take stance on the valid values for depth, and I think values >= 1 makes sense, though the "100 million" upper bound set by RTI's API seems kind of arbitrary, though I don't have a better alternative in mind.

Note on the message wide CRC check

  • Status: open  
  • Source: N/A ( Frans Schneider)
  • Summary:

    Using the header_extension submessage to pass the message's CRC seems to me the wrong place. It would be more logical to add the CRC at the end of the message for obvious reasons. First processing the whole potentially large message and then inserting the CRC somewhere in the front, requires extra resources. Also, this makes it unnecessary to first use zero's for the value of the CRC field while calculating the message's CRC. Adding the CRC just to the end of the message, maybe in a submessage of its own if you like, is a much better solution.

    Moreover, the receiver has been designed in such a way that while processing a message it can hand off processed submessgaes right away, which is rather nice. With a message CRC ckheck, either in the header or the tail of the messgae, mitigates this feature since one first has to process the whole message before deciding if the message, and therefor the submessages, is valid. Iff some CRC checking should be implemented, do this at the level of a submessage.

    With a 128 or just 64 bit CRC bit checksum, the designer clearly had huge message sizes in mind, which doesn't seem a good design decision to me.

Unclear how to discover GROUP_GUID/GROUP_ENTITY_ID from a coherent Publisher

  • Status: open   Implementation work Blocked
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Mr. Erik Hendriks)
  • Summary:

    The RTPS V2.5 spec explains how to implement the Group ordering/coherency feature in section 8.7.5 and 8.7.6. In these sections it is explained that the scope of the coherent update (i.e. which coherent Writers the coherent Publishers contains) is communicated by means of the GroupDigest, which is the first part of an MD5 hash of an ordered list of CDR encoded EntityIDs of those Writers.

    In order for the Subscribing side to validate whether all relevant Writers have successfully been discovered, it will create a digest from all EntityIDs of the writers discovered so far, and then compare that to the Digest received from the publisher. Only when the two digests are identical you know that you have successfully discovered all participating Writers.

    Problem for this is that you need to know which Writers belong to which Publisher: you can't just calculate a digest over all discovered Writers because not all discovered Writers might be part of the same group coherent Publisher.

    That means I need to to know the GROUP_GUID or at the very least the GROUP_ENTITY_ID of the Publisher of a Writer in order for me to determine which discovered Writer to include in the digest I calculate to do the comparison.

    However, it is not clear from the spec how this GROUP_GUID or this GROUP_ENTITY_ID is communicated from the publishing side to the subscribing side. The spec introduces a separate PID for both the GROUP_GUID and and the GROUP_ENTITY_ID, but nowhere does it say which one to send out from the Publisher side, or to which message to attach this information. This information is necessary however in order to build an interoperable group coherent implementation.

dds::core::status::StatusMask should allow you to set mutiple Status bits by using the logical OR operation

  • Status: open  
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Mr. Erik Hendriks)
  • Summary:

    The current dds::core::status::StatusMask inherits from a bitset, but it does not allow you to use the logical OR ( operator | () ) to set multiple bits in the mask.

    Even though StatusMask inherits from std::bitset (which does allow you to use the | operator() ), any attempt to use it on the StatusMask (as in
    StatusMask | StatusMask) results in a compilation error because the resulting type is a bitset, not a StatusMask.

    This seems a bit weird, since using the logical OR seems the natural way in which people set bits in a mask, and it is a common pattern that is used extensively in its parent, the bitset.

    The current StatusMask does allow you to use the streaming operator << for the same purpose instead, but this does not feel like a natural way of doing it.

    Last but not least, some implementations are already supporting the | operator where others don't, so we might as well want to standardize is to keep application code portable across vendors.

Clarify the PartitionQosPolicy

  • Key: DDS15-245
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Brunvoll AS ( Havard Skjevling)
  • Summary:

    It is ambiguous whether or not the PartitionQosPolicy set for a Publisher or Subscriber should affect DataWriter and DataReader matching, and how an implementation should handle it.

    Since it is stated that failure to match partitions does not imply "incompatible" QoS, it would seem it does not affect matching.
    If so, the specification should be clearer with regards to

    • whether this is filtered on the publishing, or subscribing side (or both)
    • how partitions are tied to samples or instances e.g. when written from a DataWriter whose Publisher changes partitions intermittently
    • how it deals with late joiners and historical data
    • how this affects the "transient/persistent" services and their entities' QoS settings

    2.2.3 QosPolicy Table

    A DataWriter within a Publisher only communicates with a DataReader in a Subscriber if (in addition to matching the Topic and having compatible QoS) the Publisher and Subscriber have a common partition name string.

    2.2.3.13 Partitions

    For a DataReader to see the changes made to an instance by a DataWriter, not only the Topic must match, but also they must
    share a common partition. Each string in the list that defines this QoS policy defines a partition name. A partition name may
    contain wildcards. Sharing a common partition means that one of the partition names matches.
    Failure to match partitions is not considered an “incompatible” QoS and does not trigger any listeners nor conditions.

Extensibility of inherited structures

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    The specification should state the behavior if a derived type extensibility kind is specified to be different from that of its parent.

    Furthermore for usability we should specify the behavior if the derived type does not specify any extensibility kind. Does it 'inherit' that of the parent or is it assumed to be the 'default'.

    Current thinking: It is an error to have a derived structure specify a different extensibility kind than its parent. Leaving it unspecified sets the derived type extensibility type to that of your parent.

    Basically the serialization of the derived class does not add its own header.

Inconsistent Definitions of RTPS Encapsulation

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Object Computing, Inc. - OCI ( Mr. Frederick Hornsey)
  • Summary:

    There are inconsistencies in the two definitions of the RTPS Encapsulation Header I've found so far. The major issue is that the values for the encoding identifiers are different between 7.4.3.4 and 7.6.3.1.2 for non-XCDR1 encodings. These are the big-endian values compared:

    Type 7.4.3.4 7.6.3.1.2
    Plain XCDR2 0x00, 0x10 0x00, 0x06
    Parameter List XCDR2 0x00, 0x12 0x00, 0x0a
    Delimited XCDR2 0x00, 0x14 0x00, 0x08
    XML 0x01, 0x00 0x00, 0x04

    The other issue is that while 7.6.3.1.2 describes the two options bytes of the encapsulation header that follow the encoding identifier and extends it for padding info, 7.4.3. is lacking in details as far as I can see. The serialization rules has them in 7.4.3.5.3 as `OPTIONS`, but doesn't define it in any of the tables before the rules like all the other symbols are. It does mention encapsulation in 7.4.3.5, but doesn't mention anything about extending the options bytes.

find_topic/delete_topic underspecified

  • Key: DDS15-316
  • Status: open   Implementation work Blocked
  • Source: Remedy IT ( Johnny Willemsen)
  • Summary:

    It is not clear what kind of restrictions there are to find_topic/delete_topic.

    Assume two software modules in the same process, order of instantiation is not fixed, also more modules could be loaded by a configuration file. All modules use find_topic to find topic Foo, the first module now calls create_topic to create the topic, second module gets topic Foo through find_topic.

    Each module now creates its own datareader/datawriters using the topic it retrieved. At the moment the module now ends it cleans the datareader/datawriter it has created and now calls delete_topic. It is not clear what at that moment delete_topic will return for the module that has successfully used find_topic to get the topic. Some DDS vendors return RETCODE_OK, some RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET because there are still readers/writers related to that topic (but the other module did use create_topic). The shutdown order can also be swapped, so first the module that used create_topic will be removed, the one with find_topic keeps running.

    The description of find_topic should be extended to clarify how it behaves related to delete_topic? Personally I think RETCODE_OK should be returned when there is no DataReader, DataWriter, ContentFilteredTopic, or MultiTopic attached anymore to the topic returned by find_topic, independent of the entities attached to the topic as it was created by create_topic (or a different find_topic call)

    1. Return NO_DATA
    2. Return OK with a resulting collection with len = 0

    The last sentence of the section seems to indicate the latter...

    If the DataReader has no samples that meet the constraints, the return value will be NO_DATA

    ... but the definition of NO_DATA on page 5 seems to indicate the former (as no data is returned)

TypeLookup IDL Inconsistency

    TypeLookup IDL in 7.6.3.3.3 contains the following unsigned long constants in IDL:

    const unsigned long TypeLookup_getTypes_HashId = 0x018252d3;

    However later in the IDL two unions called TypeLookup_Call and TypeLookup_Return which use those constants as branches are discriminated with a long. Since long is apparently specified by the RPC spec, then the type of the constants should be changed to long to match the unions.

    Other issues in this IDL:

Order in which implied IDL and language mappings interact

  • Key: DDS15-323
  • Status: open   Implementation work Blocked
  • Source: Remedy IT ( Johnny Willemsen)
  • Summary:

    There looks to be different interpretations between DDS vendors how implied IDL and language mappings interface. The specification lists in 2.3.3 the example of type Foo which results in the implied IDL DataWriter named FooDataWriter. On this implied IDL the concrete language mapping is applied, so with IDL to C++ we get FooDataWriter/FooDataWriter_ptr/FooDataWriter_var. But, what happens when the type is a IDL or C++ keyword, for example the type _public results in the implied IDL publicDataWriter, on which the IDL to C++ language mapping is implied, so to our idea you get _cxx_public/publicDataWriter/publicDataReader. The IDL to C++ language mapping only sees the identifiers as resulted by the implied IDL rules. Some vendors do generate _cxx_public/_cxx_publicDataWriter/_cxx_publicDataReader which means the implied IDL and IDL to C++ language mapping are strangely mixed. A generaic modeling tool for example only knows of implied IDL, a custom code generator generates the code for the specific language mapping.

    The specification should give an example for _public, what does the programmer now get in a specific programming language, for example C++

When using for example C++, RTI Connext DDS seems to require "'OMG'", so single quotes around the string itself, but OpenDDS/Opensplice seem to use "OMG" so without single quotes around the string.

    The specification should be clear about how strings are used when they are passed through a query parameter like %0.

Unknown behavior of explicitly negated key in nested struct

  • Status: open  
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Mr. Erik Hendriks)
  • Summary:

    In section 7.6.8 it is stated that for a nested struct that is annotated as key for an embedding struct, you have to follow the following process to to generate its KeyHolder: "If there are any key members, then remove the non-key members from FooKeyHolder. Otherwise do not remove any members."

    So what if the struct has no explicit key members, but it has explicitly mentioned that a certain field should not act as key? Take for example the following example:

    struct Foo {
        long x;
        @key(false) long y;
    };
    
    struct Bar {
        @key Foo myFoo;
        string name;
    };
    

    There are three different ways to interpret the rules for this usecase:

    1. Both x and y will end up in the KeyHolder, since Foo did not specify any key members, so nothing gets removed.
    2. Only y will end up in the KeyHolder, since Foo specified explicitly that x should not act as key.
    3. Neither x nor y will end up in the KeyHolder, since some of the members have an explicit key annotation and so I remove all the members which are not keys, which is y (stated explicitly) and x (stated implicitly).

    So the big underlying question is: is explicitly stating @key(false) equal to not having a @key annotation at all, or does explicitly stating that a member is not a key have some more expressive power over implicitly determining its key status by absence of the @key annotation?

Type Consistency Enforcement QoS Policy ignore_member_names

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Object Computing, Inc. - OCI ( Mr. Adam Mitz)
  • Summary:

    The paragraph that explains ignore_member_names defines its semantics as follows:

    • If the option is set to TRUE, member names are considered
    • If the option is set to FALSE (the default), then
      member names are not ignored

    The mode of "considering" would seem to be the same as "not ignoring." Thus the spec is currently stating that the two options are equivalent. Since the name is ignore_member_names, that indicates that setting TRUE should indeed ignore them.

    The spec should be changed to indicate that if the option is set to TRUE then member names are ignored.

Default built-in ReaderDataLifecycle values

  • Key: DDS15-46
  • Legacy Issue Number: 10811
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Problem:
    QoS settings of buildin Readers: according to section 2.1.5 builtin Readers should have its ReaderDataLifecycles delays set to infinite, meaning that builtin topics that are disposed and/or unregistered will never be removed from the system unless explicitly 'taken'. If an application never bothers to look at the builtin readers, they will never clean up resources and these readers will use up more and more memory if entities keep on joining and leaving the network.

    Solution:
    We propose to give the builtin-readers a finite duration for both auto_purge variables (for example something like 5 minutes).

Change the default value for DataWriterLifecycle::autodispose_unregistered_instances and behavior when a DataWriter is deleted

  • Key: DDS15-314
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Ms Erin McManus)
  • Summary:

    Unregistering and disposing instances have different semantics and the default association of these two operations through the usage of the autodispose_unregistered_instances may lead to behaviors that are unexpected and not desirable to DDS users.

    The unregister operation is meant to indicate that the DataWriter will no longer update the instance but does not indicate anything about the state of the instance itself. The dispose operation, on the other hand, is meant to indicate a change in the state of the instance, it indicates that the instance has been deleted. Because of this, we are proposing changing the default value of this QoS to FALSE. This is something that many of our customers end up doing explicitly.

    In addition to changing the default value for autodispose_unregistered_instances, we are also proposing that this QoS does not have any effect during the deletion of the DataWriter. Disposing of an instance should be an explicit operation (individual or bulk operation). In many cases, the user's intention is not to delete (dispose) an instance when a DataWriter is deleted and doing so explicitly ties the lifecycle of the instance to the lifecycle of the DataWriter.

Mapping of one single Topic per Service does not work well with DDS Security

  • Summary:

    This issue has also been entered into DDS-Security as the solution could also involve changes to that specification. See:
    https://issues.omg.org/browse/DDSSEC12-31

    DDS-RPC maps each DDS-Service to a single (unkeyed) Topic-pair (request topic & reply Topic).

    DDS-Security provides access control per Topic and per Instance (Key). Moreover, the builtin plugins only provide access control per Topic.

    With these mappings is it not possible to configure access control per operation/method in the service. This is a common requirement for many service definitions.

    One way to overcome this would be to provide a mapping where each a Service would map to multiple Topic pairs. E.g. one Topic pair per method/operation. That way it would be possible to separately grant permissions to call operations on a service or to implement operations on a service.

    The mapping of a Topic pair per method/operation would also setting different Qos per operation...

Listener model breaks API design goal of automatic resource management

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

    The way the C++ PSM modeled listeners has proven problematic. While the whole language binding is designed to provide automatic resource management, listeners break that model. Listeners are assigned to a DDS Entity as a raw pointer and “retain” the Entity.

    Because an Entity with a listener is retained, the user must manually reset the listener to allow its automatic destruction or explicitly close the entity. This defeats the purpose of automatic resource management, forcing users to write exception-safe code or risk “leaking” the resource.

    RTI proposes a change in how listeners are set. In summary:

    1) Listeners are set as std::shared_ptr's. All APIs change to receive a std::shared_ptr<Listener> instead of a Listener*
    2) Listeners no longer retain the entity. (It's the other way around; the Entity keeps a reference to its listener, which ensures the listener is not deleted). 

    Note that an entity can be explicitly retained with the member function retain(), which allows preserving the old behavior quite easily.

    The changes, affecting all dds::core::Entity-derived types, are the following:
     

    Previous API (usable but deprecated) New API
    Constructor with Listener* argument Constructor with std::shared_ptr<Listener>
    Listener setter: listener(Listener*, StatusMask) Listener setter: set_listener(std::shared_ptr<Listener>, StatusMask)
     (not available) Listener setter with no mask, added for convenience: set_listener(std::shared_ptr<Listener>) // Defaults to all() when the listener is not null or none() when it’s null
    Listener getter: Listener * listener() const  Listener getter: std::shared_ptr<Listener> get_listener() const

    Notice the name change—the overloaded listener is now get_listener/set_listener. A new overload wasn’t possible because the getter would only differ on the return type.

    Implementations that do not support C++11 can offer the old listener model.
     
    Example:

    // Previous API:
    MyListener *my_listener = new MyListener();
    reader.listener(my_listener, StatusMask::all());
    // ...
    reader.listener(NULL, StatusMask::none()); // user must reset the listener to destroy entity
    delete my_listener;
    
    // New API:
    auto my_listener = std::make_shared<MyListener>();
    reader.set_listener(my_listener);// No manual resource management required anymore
    
    // Or simply:
    reader.set_listener(std::make_shared<MyListener>());

    However section 7.3.1.10 'Structure Types' states:

    Structures as described in this specification are fully compatible with the IDL constructs of the same name.

    IDL (4.3) does not allow constant declarations inside structures. So these two statements are incompatible.

    Also the UML model in 7.2.2.4.4.2 'Structure Types' states structures contain only members. And constant declarations are not members.

    According to the Qos table in 2.2.3 'Supported QoS' the default value for autodispose_unregistered_instance is TRUE. We have found a two issues with this

    (1) It is not semantically what people expect. Just because a DataWriter is deleted it does not mean all the instances should be deleted... It could be so for some use-cases, but we found that in the majority of the use-cases it is not an intuitive behavior.

    (2) It is not scalable. If writer with a lot of instances is deleted. it needs to send many messages and potentially wait until they are acknowledged before releasing the DataWriter resources. This makes the data-writer delete operation something that can block for an unbounded time which is not what applications expect.

    It sees it would be better to:
    (a) Change the default value of autodispose_unregistered_instance to FALSE.
    (b) Provide a better/more efficient/scalable way to communicate to the DataReaders that all the instances of a DataWriter have been deleted.

Define Implied Keys Behavior

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Object Computing, Inc. - OCI ( Mr. Adam Mitz)
  • Summary:

    1. In 7.6.8, the algorithm for creating a KeyHolder states that:

    If there are any key members, then remove the non-key members from FooKeyHolder. Otherwise do not remove any members.

    This seems to say that if there are no fields marked as keys, leave all of them open to be able to be used as keys. That would be consistent with implied key behavior.

    2. There is an example of implied @key in Annex D, where the TopicData types specify BuiltinTopicKey_t as a key, but the single member of BuiltinTopicKey_t is not marked as a key.

    3. At the same time 7.2.2.4.4.4.8 says:

    If a given type has no members designated as key members, then the type—and any DDS Topic that is constructed using it as its type it—has no key.

    It also says that:

    In the event that the type K of a key member of a given type T itself defines key members, only the key of K, and not any other of its members, shall be considered part of the key of T.

    This doesn't go against implied keys, but would be a good place to mention them in addition to the previous sentence.

    4. 7.3.1.2.1.3 says that:

    To declare a member as part of the key, users shall apply the @key annotation...

    7.2.2.4.4.4.8 and 7.3.1.2.1.3 seem to have been written under the assumption that @keys can't be implied. If the specification actually requires this, which it appears that it does given Annex D, then it should say so in those two sections.

    Finally, a couple thoughts/questions came up about implied keys behavior since it is not defined in the spec:

    1. Given a situation like:

    @nested(TRUE)
    struct A

    { @key(FALSE) long a1; long a2; }

    ;

    @nested(FALSE)
    struct B

    { @key A b1; }

    ;

    Shouldn’t a2 be the only element of the key of B, because we’re explicitly saying a1 isn’t part of the key?

    2. Should implied key behavior (potentially including the behavior in the previous point) apply to union discriminators? For example:

    @nested(TRUE)
    union TestUnion switch (long)

    { // ... };

    @nested(TRUE)
    union KeyedTestUnion switch (@key long) { // ... }

    ;

    @nested(TRUE)
    union KeyedFalseTestUnion switch (@key(FALSE) long)

    { // ... }

    ;

    @nested(TRUE)
    struct A

    { TestUnion a1; // discriminator is implied to be part of the key of B KeyedTestUnion a2; // discriminator is explicitly part of the key of B KeyedFalseTestUnion a3; // Not part of the key of B }

    ;

    @nested(FALSE)
    struct B

    { @key TestUnion b1; // discriminator is implied to be part of the key @key KeyedTestUnion b2; // discriminator is explicitly part of the key @key KeyedFalseTestUnion b3; // Not part of the key, maybe an implementation could give a warning? @key A b4; }

    ;

    By default, aggregated types and aliases to aggregated types defined in IDL are not considered to be nested types.

    ...

    In addition to the above annotations, IDL compilers shall provide the means to change the default value for non-annotated top-level modules.

    Given the fourth sentence, the first and third sentences should also say the nested status of a non-annotated type is implementation defined.

get_discovered_participant_data() should return BAD_PARAMETER instead of PRECONDITION_NOT_MET

  • Key: DDS15-310
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    This issue has to do with the proper code when the function
    get_discovered_participant_data gets passed an invalid handle.

    This function is analogous to get_matched_subscription_data() and get_matched_publication_data() except that that it retrieves information on the matching participant instead of the matching endpoint. All these functions take a handle as an input that refers to the "matching" entity for which information is
    being retrieved.

    Prior to version 1.2 get_matched_subscription_data() was returning PRECONDITION_NOT_MET and get_matched_publication_data BAD_PARAMETER.
    Returning BAD_PARAMETER seemed more appropriate so in version 1.2 (OMG issue 9500) we updated get_matched_subscription_data to also return BAD_PARAMETER.

    However get_discovered_participant_data() was not updated as part of is still returning PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.

    Therefore get_discovered_participant_data() should be updated to also return BAD_PARAMETER when an invalid handle is passed.

  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    In DDS-XTYPES 1.3 there was an issue (https://issues.omg.org/browse/DDSXTY13-2) whose resolution added the precise specification of the computation of the memberId. This is now in section 7.3.1.2.1.1 'Member IDs' specifically the three-step algorithm towards the end of the section.

    This algorithm fully uses 32 bits. The 4 MSB are set to zero and the remaining 28 bits computed from a hash. Because of this there is no longer a 'reserved range' for memberIds.

    However the resolution of DDSXTY13-2 still left some text in section 7.2.2.4.4.4.4 that talks about reserved ranges. This text should also have been removed. In fact it seems that there was an instruction in DDSXTY13-2 to remove the paragraph but it either was not applied correctly or it missed a sentence that followed the paragraph. To correct it, the following text should be removed from section 7.2.2.4.4.4.4 'Member IDs'

    The remaining part of the member ID range—from 0 to 268,402,687 (0x0FFFBFFF)—is available for use by application-defined types compliant with this specification.

Consider replacing @Choice annotation with XTYPES 1.2 unions

  • Key: DDS15-249
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    The DDS-RPC added a @Choice annotation (see 7.5.1.2.1.1 @Choice Annotation) to indicate a Structure with the "single-member" semantics of a union. As stated in the aforementioned section the reason was:

    Using unions to indicate which operation is being invoked is brittle. Operations in an interface have set semantics and have no ordering constraints. Union, however, enforces strict association with discriminator values, which are too strict for set semantics. Further, use of unions leads to ambiguities in case of multiple inheritance of interfaces.

    However XTYPES 1.2 enhanced unions which now support inheritance and are not so brittle anymore. For this reason it makes sense to re-evaluate this decision.

    An advantage of using unions (beyond avoiding a extraneous annotation) is that their API is better oriented to identifying the one branch that is present; whereas in the case of structures there is no standard API available to determine which member is present other than iterating over every member. This would be unnatural for processing the RPC calls.

    <section 2.2.1.2.2 'Overall Conceptual Model', page 9, penultimate paragraph>
    On the subscriber's side however, there are more choices: relevant information may arrive when the application is busy doing something else or when the application is just waiting for that information. Therefore, depending on the way the application is designed, asynchronous notifications or synchronous access may be more appropriate. Both interaction modes are allowed, a Listener is used to provide a callback for synchronous access and a WaitSet associated with one or several Condition objects provides asynchronous data access.

Specify the allowed IDL Types within DDS Topic structs

  • Key: DDS15-35
  • Legacy Issue Number: 12360
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Department of Navy ( Paul Werme)
  • Summary:

    The DDS Spec (as of v1.2) does not specify the set of IDL types that are allowed in a DDS Topic struct. This should be defined and made normative instead of being left as an implementation detail.

    Discussion:

    Because the set of IDL types allowed in a DDS Topic struct is not defined, implementors are at liberty to decide what set of IDL types to support. Concerns about the impact of the lack of standardization in this area have been raised by the computing infrastructure teams on major Navy programs on several occasions particularly in regards to potential impact on code portability across DDS implementations and interoperability between DDS implementations.

    In reviewing the DDS C++ Native Language Mapping RFP, we commented that the RFP provided an opportunity to insert a requirement to define the allowed C++ types within a DDS Topic struct which would indirectly result in defining the set of allowed DDS IDL types due to the RFP requirement for the C++ mapping to be consistent with the IDL mapping. This suggestion was rejected because it was viewed that the correct forum and mechanism for resolving this issue was the DDS RTF. We were requested to submit this as an issue to the RTF since the RTF could probably resolve this issue within the next 6 months.

Definition of BuiltinTopicKey_t

  • Key: DDS15-153
  • Legacy Issue Number: 10581

  • Summary:

    The PSM mapping of BuiltinTopicKey_t is defined to be as:

    struct BuiltinTopicKey_t { 
        BUILTIN_TOPIC_KEY_TYPE_NATIVE value[3]; 
    }; 
    

    But the DDS Interoperability Wire Protocol (RTPS) specifies that GUID consists of 12 bytes GuidPrefix and 4 bytes EntityId.

    In order to map GUID and BuiltinTopicKey, we should define BuiltinTopicKey as either

    typedef octet BuiltinTopicKey[16];
    

    or else if we really wanted to preserve the definition as an array of longs

    struct BuiltinTopicKey_t { 
        BUILTIN_TOPIC_KEY_TYPE_NATIVE value[4]; 
    }; 
    

    But the latter could cause problems due to different endianess unless we also specified how to place the octets that arrive at the protocol level into the array of long.

Deprecated usage of IDL in the DDS spec

  • Key: DDS15-33
  • Legacy Issue Number: 12539
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Object Computing, Inc. - OCI ( Mr. Adam Mitz)
  • Summary:

    The CORBA specification (08-01-04) in section 7.11.6 deprecates the use of anonymous types, for example the type of the struct field "seq" below:
    struct Foo

    { sequence<octet> seq; }

    ;

    The DDS DCPS IDL uses these in multiple places (the first is DDS::UserDataQosPolicy). These should be replaced with non-deprecated usage such as:
    typedef sequence<octet> OctetSeq;
    struct Foo

    { OctetSeq seq; }

    ;

    This will also increase internal consistency of the DDS spec, since it already uses a DDS::StringSeq typedef in the PartitionQosPolicy struct.

    Furthermore, if the element type of the sequence is a Basic Type or a String Type, the CORBA module already provides these typedefs, so it would be preferable to use them. The example above becomes:
    struct Foo

    { CORBA::OctetSeq seq; }

    ;

Mapping of OMG IDL to C++ for DDS

  • Key: DDS15-31
  • Legacy Issue Number: 13839
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Airbus Group ( Mr. Oliver M. Kellogg)
  • Summary:

    The mapping of user written IDL to C++ is not described in the version 1.2 of the DDS standard.

    Is it expected that DDS use the existing CORBA C++ mapping for data types? If so then the standard should state this requirement.

    On the other hand, the CORBA IDL to C++ mapping is fairly old. The new DDS PSM for C++ would suggest a more modern mapping.

    For example, for bounded strings and bounded sequences, C++ classes inspired by the Standard Template Library (STL) could be used. These classes need not necessarily break the DCPS compatibility with the C language mentioned in 8.2.1.1. (Use fixed buffer, avoid virtual methods.) It is not clear whether unbounded data types need be supported, see issues 8892 and 12360.

    In case a new mapping is defined which is independent of the CORBA C++ mapping, there is a problem to address:
    Bridge applications which use both CORBA and DDS would need to translate a single IDL file twice, once for CORBA and again for DDS. Then there is an overlap in the generated names. This problem could be solved by encapsulating all C++ code generated for DDS from user IDL in an extra namespace.

History and Reliability should be orthogonally independent concerns

  • Key: DDS15-25
  • Legacy Issue Number: 17284
  • Status: open  
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Angelo Corsaro, PhD.)
  • Summary:

    The current DDSv1.2 specification provides a slightly different semantics for the history on the writer side and on the reader.

    In addition, the DDS v1.2 specification allows to use the data-writer history as the "reliability-send-queue" – this is combined with the fact that History is (correctly) not an RxO policy leads to a serious bug in the spec (luckily not all DDS implementations follow this path) . Let's try to understand why.

    Firs, it is important to comprehend that unless a data writer uses KeepAll history, reliable data delivery is not guaranteed to matching data readers. This can't be guaranteed even when using Reliable communication (obviously ignoring data-writer crashes for the time being).

    Essentially, under this scheme a DataWriter is allowed send/re-send only what is in its history cache. If a sample is out of history a DataWriter won't do anything, thus leading to potential inconsistencies in case some reader has lost the message.

    Things get very messy when a DataReader with KeepAll History is matching a DataWriter that does uses KeepLast(n). In this case, the poor DataReader which might legitimally expect to have on his history all the samples written by the writers – without holes – might finds him-/her-self surprised by the fact that some samples might be missing.

Consider replacing @Choice annotation with XTYPES 1.2 unions

  • Key: DDSRPC11-4
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Twin Oaks Computing, Inc. ( Mr. Clark Tucker)
  • Summary:

    The DDS-RPC added a @Choice annotation (see 7.5.1.2.1.1 @Choice Annotation) to indicate a Structure with the "single-member" semantics of a union. As stated in the aforementioned section the reason was:

    Using unions to indicate which operation is being invoked is brittle. Operations in an interface have set semantics and have no ordering constraints. Union, however, enforces strict association with discriminator values, which are too strict for set semantics. Further, use of unions leads to ambiguities in case of multiple inheritance of interfaces.

    However XTYPES 1.2 enhanced unions which now support inheritance and are not so brittle anymore. For this reason it makes sense to re-evaluate this decision.

    An advantage of using unions (beyond avoiding a extraneous annotation) is that their API is better oriented to identifying the one branch that is present; whereas in the case of structures there is no standard API available to determine which member is present other than iterating over every member. This would be unnatural for processing the RPC calls.

    For this reason it is desirable that the specification states with characters are legal within a Topic name.

  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Mr. Fernando Sanchez)
  • Summary:

    The compatibility rules for the Presentation QosPolicy, specified in section 2.2.3.6 of the DDS Specification prevent a subscriber configured using GROUP access scope from simultaneously matching a publisher configured using GROUP access scope and a publisher configured using TOPIC or INSTANCE access scope.

    Proposed Resolution:
    The addition of a new boolean field called "use_highest_offered_access_scope" to Presentation QosPolicy.

    This boolean is not propagated as part of the discovery information and remains local to the subscriber. Users configure the subscriber to the minimum accepted access scope. When the boolean field is set to true, the subscriber will provide the access_scope offered by the publisher as opposed to its own access_scope value.

    For example: a subscriber wanted to provide GROUP access scope when matched with a GROUP order publisher and with a publisher providing INSTANCE access scope, will use INSTANCE access scope and set the user_highest_offered_access_scope boolean to true.

PARTITION PolicyQos should be in DataReader/DataWriter

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    The logic of the PARTITION Qos applies separately to each DataReader/DataWriter and the propagation on the DCPS bultin Topics also happens along with each DataReader and DataWriter.

    Despite this the PARTITION Qos can only be set on the Publisher/Subscriber which impact all the DataWriters/DataReaders they contain. To overcome this we have seen many users create a separate Publisher/Subscriber per DataWriter/DataReader which unnecessarily consumes resources and couples them.

    The recommendation is to allow the PARTITION Qos to be set directly on the DataWriter and DataReader. This would not impact the behavior of partition matching. Just makes it more flexible to use.

    A question is whether we should still allow the Publisher/Subscriber to have a PARTITION Qos. This may be desirable to avoid braking existing code. In this case we could interpret as a 'default" unless ta DataWriter/DataReader specifies it explicitly. This would make current applications work without changes.

Clarification of resource management

  • Legacy Issue Number: 10357
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Honeywell ( James Richardson)
  • Summary:

    I don't think that it is explicitly stated anywhere in this spec that each DataWriter and each DataReader maintains its own set of samples. Samples are not maintained by Publishers, Subscribers. It is implied in several places, e.g. the fact that RESOURCE_LIMITS applies to DataWriter and DataReader and not to Publisher and Subscriber. It took me a while to figure this out. It is possible for a Publisher to have more than one DataWriter with the same topic, and a Subscriber to have more than one DataReader with the same topic. The semantics of DataReader.take, for instance, are unclear unless it is understood that each DataReader has its own samples. Evidently a take operation on one DataReader does not disturb the samples of another DataReader with the same Publisher and Topic. Please clarify the specification in this regard. Figure 2-1 and accompanying text would be one place.

Deprecate Basic Service Mapping

  • Key: DDS15-248
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    The Basic Service Mapping was included in the specification primarily to support implementations that did not support XTYPES. Now that most DDS support XTYPES this motivation is no longer there.

    Having both a Basic Service Mapping and an Enhance Service Mapping creates significant complexity and ambiguity. It becomes another choice the user must make and another way implementations may not interoperate.

    Furthermore when other specifications map to DDS Services, they must too make a choice of Service Mappings. Hence perpetuating complexity and interoperability issues.

    The Enhanced Service Mapping has significant advantages in terms of performance, scalability, and type-system simplicity. Fundamentally it allows the use of the same types for request reply and RPC, any extra information is added in meta-data so that the types themselves are unpolluted. This is in-line with what other middleware technologies (e.g. JMS) does.

    Therefore the most sensible thing is to deprecate the Basic Service Mapping.

    OMG DDS spec (section 2.2.2.5.2.10) states that the sequence returned by

    the DataReader is repeated in the list returned by get_datareaders().
    Having to process each element, even when they belong to the same DataReader is
    less performant.

    Proposed Resolution:
    Modify the specification to return one DataReader element, instead of a list where
    a DataReader is repeated multiple times, when multiple subsequent samples belong to
    the same DataReader. This allows for more optimized processing where the user calls

Specify more clearly which types have a name and how it is constructed

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    Section 7.2.2.1 'Namespaces' states:

    Modules are namespaces whose contained named elements are types. The concatenation of module names with the name of a type inside of those modules is referred to as the type’s “fully qualified name.”

    This is not enough to fully determine the fully qualified name. How is the "concatenation" done? What character is used to separate the successive module names?

    For example what should be the fully-qualified name of the type described in in the following IDL?

    module A {
    module B {
      struct Foo {
        ...
      };
    };
    };
    

    Assuming "::" is used to separate namespaces it would be "A::B::Foo"

    The issue of type names is a bit broader. Currently it is not so clear that every type has a name. Is that really so? What about anonymous types defined within a structure?

    The definition of MemberDescriptor (7.5.2.7) which is used to describe members of a Structure seems to imply every type must have a name. This is because each MemberDescriptor has an associated DynamicType (7.5.2.7.10 'Property: type') which according to 7.5.2.7.10 it cannot be null. And the DynamicType::get_name() should return the name of the type.

    On the other hand Figure 5 seems to indicate only Modules and ConstructedTypes (according to Fig 5 these are: Alias, AggregateTypes, EnumeratedType, Collection) have a "ScopedIdentifier" which is their name.

    This would mean that PrimitiveTypes, StringType do not have a ScopeIdentifyer/name. This seems problematic,

    • PrimitiveTypes do seem to have a name as it is used when defining struct members of that type.
    • CollectionTypes do not seem to have a name.

    However nothing really says that typenames should be globally unique. They only need to be unique within a compilation unit...

    "Member Names" (7.6.7.1) is missing support for Unions. Union members can be accessed by name as long as a reserved name is specified for the discriminator. A valid filter expression needs to check the discriminator before accessing another member name (for example u.disc = 3 AND u.val < 100), however the implementation doesn't need to check for this. If evaluating a filter expression causes access to an inactive element of a union, the result is undefined.

Specify the behavior of instance state machine in case of a disconnect-reconnect scenario

  • Key: DDS15-254
  • Status: open  
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Mr. Erik Hendriks)
  • Summary:

    The DDS specification is very clear what happens in case of a disconnect: the receiver will behave as if the sender unregistered all its instances. But what should the behavior be in case of a reconnect?

    For VOLATILE cases the behavior might still be intuitive: an instance stays NOT_ALIVE_NO_WRITERS until an update has been received, in which case it goes back to ALIVE. And because VOLATILE data is typically periodic data, eventually all my instances will come back alive.

    But what about non-volatile data, that is typically not periodic, or is periodic but with a very low update frequency? Consider the following scenario:

    • Writer A writers 10 samples belonging to 10 different instances.
    • Reader B takes all samples.
    • Writer A disconnects from Reader B.
    • Reader B receives invalid samples indicating all instances are now NOT_ALIVE_NO_WRITERS.
    • Reader B takes these samples.
    • A reconnection is established, and none of the instances have been updated by Writer A.

    You would expect that all instances in Reader B would go back to the ALIVE state, but how do I get them back into the ALIVE state? Since there are no more samples to piggy-bag this instance state change on.

    A couple of approaches are conceivable:

    • Use an invalid sample to bring the instance back alive.
    • Republish the last available sample
    • Do nothing.

    Every approach has its pro's and cons, but the DDS spec should clearly describe which behavior is intended here.

Clarify definition of counts in Plain Communication Status

  • Source: Object Computing, Inc. - OCI ( Mr. Adam Mitz)
  • Summary:

    The second table in 2.2.4.1 (the one that starts with "SampleLostStatus") has confusing definitions of the "counts" in various plain communication status.

    Certain "statuses" simply report events that occur within the Entities. Sample Lost is a good example of this. When a sample is lost, it's lost for good and not coming back. Therefore we expect total_count_change to be nonnegative. In this case the total_count definition is clear.

    Other "status" are ways to report some aspect of the state of the Domain to the application. Inconsistent Topic is an example of this. Since remote Entities can change at any time, the count of inconsistent topics may decrease (for example, when a Topic owned by a remote Participant is deleted). For the "statuses" in this category, the wording of the definition of total_count (and perhaps other attributes) is confusing since it starts with "Total cumulative count..." just like the one for Sample Lost.

Instance handle constructor for TopicInstance should be deleted.

  • Status: open  
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Mr. Erik Hendriks)
  • Summary:

    The dds/topic/TopicInstance object is used as a holder for both a sample, and the instance handle to its corresponding instance. There are operations on the DataWriter that accept a TopicInstance as their parameter.

    However, it is possible to instantiate a TopicInstance without sample, by using a constructor that only accepts an instance handle. It is unclear what the behavior of the write operations should be in case they receive a TopicInstance without corresponding sample.

    I therefore propose to either delete the constructor that accepts only an instance handle, and remove the key_value() function that accepts TopicInstance as input parameter (it is already overloaded by another key_value() that accepts an InstanceHandle) or otherwise define an exception when passing a TopicInstance without sample to a write() operation.

Unintuitive way to access extension member functions

    The use of the arrow operator is counterintuitive to most people (the variable is not a pointer) and didn't allow an IDE to show the available extensions if the regular dot operator was used.

    We propose adding an "extensions()" function to dds::core::Reference and dds::core::Value that can be used as follows:

    // Call an extension method:

Condition classes should only be used with WaitSets

  • Legacy Issue Number: 17063
  • Status: open  
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Angelo Corsaro, PhD.)
  • Summary:

    The DataReader API provides methods to read samples with a condition. This condition can be either a ReadCondition or a QueryCondition, and in this case the samples returned are either filtered by the status (ReadCondition) or the content+status (QueryCondition).
    The ReadCondition is completely in overlap with the instance/status/view states and its use is really irrelevant when in combination with the DataReader. On the other end the only aspect of the QueryCondition that really matters to a DataReader are the query expression and parameters.

    By looking carefully at the API, it seems apparent that the ReadCondition and the QueryCondition really make sense only when used with a WaitSet. On the other end, their use in conjunction of a DataReader is a stretch and breaks the semantics of the "Condition". On principle a condition is used to "wait" for a particular status to be true, yet the DataReader "read" are – rightfully – always non-blocking. In addition, the API opens up for gratuitous runtime errors as I could write silly code as follows (in C++):

    auto rc = reader.create_readcondition();
    reader2.read(..., rc,...);

    This although silly is allowed by the API and on a proper DDS implementation should raise an exception.

    The same could happen with a QueryCondition!

    Resolution
    ---------------
    Limit the use of Read/QueryCondition to waitsets and put in place a more robust mechanism to do status and content filtering on a data-reader read.

    An example of what could be done is provided below, where I assume that the DataStatus is the former ReaderState:

    reader
    .filter_status(DataStatus::new_data())
    .filter_content(Query("x < 100 AND y < 100"))
    .read();

    Equally, one could write (again legal C++ below with little magic under-cover) :

    reader
    .instance(handle)
    .filter_status(DataStatus::new_data())
    .filter_content(Query("x < 100 AND y < 100"))
    .read();

    Notice that this code, not only is very declarative and thus shows very clearly the intent of the programmer, but in addition does not allow for the silly mistakes shown above. Further more, it really highlights he role of the Sample/Instance/View status as a "filter" on the status of data.

Remove templatization for datatype from TopicDescription

  • Status: open  
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Mr. Erik Hendriks)
  • Summary:

    In the current DDS-PSM-Cxx spec files, the TopicDescription is not only templatized for its Delegate, but also for its datatype. However, none of the functions exposed by the TopicDescription has a dependency on this datatype.

    I therefore suggest to remove the template parameter for the datatype from the TopicDescription.

MERGE CONFLICT: Modify Topic inheritance


Inheritance hierarchy of C++11 PSM conflicts with inheritance hierarchy from DDS PIM

  • Status: open  
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Mr. Erik Hendriks)
  • Summary:

    In the DDS PIM the Topic inherits from two other classes: TopicDescription and Entity. However, in the C++11 PSM, this double inheritance relationship has been removed by making TopicDescription inherit from Entity, and making Topic only inherit from TopicDescription.

    Although this seems to simplify the inheritance hierarchy, it has a couple of unwanted side-effects, since all TopicDescriptions are now Entities. That means that ContentFilteredTopic and MultiTopic now offer all the operations that an Entity normally offers:

    • They have a StatusCondition
      • However, ContentFilteredTopic and MultiTopic have no statuses that are applicable to this StatusCondition.
    • They offer an operation to extract their instance handle
      • However, ContentFilteredTopic and MultiTopic are not discoverable and therefore do not have an instance handle.
    • Conceptually, Entities are supposed to offer Qos and Listeners, which ContentFilteredTopic and MultiTopic do not do.

    We want to correct for this by removing the inheritance relationship between TopicDescription and Entity and reinstating the double inheritance for Topic on both TopicDescription and Entity.

Use consistent way to refer to vendor specific Delegate

  • Status: open  
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Mr. Erik Hendriks)
  • Summary:

    The current DDS-PSM-Cxx spec often refers to the vendor specific Delegate in the following way:

    • A typedef refers Entity<T> to detail::Entity<T>, which is in a vendor specific file.
    • In detail::Entity, another typedef then substitutes the vendor specific Delegate for the template parameter.

    However, for some unknown reason this pattern is not followed for the DataWriter and QueryCondition classes.

    I propose to apply the same pattern to those classes as well.

Inconsistent ways to set functor in Condition types

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

    Conditions have an optional functor handler that WaitSet::dispatch() calls when they're active. But the ways to set this handler vary depending on the Condition type:

    Condition type How you set the handler
    GuardCondition handler(Functor&) setter (therefore mutable)
    ReadCondition In constructor (therefore immutable)
    QueryCondition No way to set it (it seems a oversight; should be same as ReadCondition)
    StatusCondition No way to set it (not clear if it's on purpose or an oversight)

    Note that making the handler mutable or immutable has consequences in the thread-safety requirements of the implementations.

StatusCondition should have a singleton delegate

  • Status: open  
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Mr. Erik Hendriks)
  • Summary:

    Because the DDS-PSM-C++ abandoned the factory pattern, you now have to instantiate your own StatusCondition object, and pass the Entity to which it applies as parameter to its constructor.

    However, DDS spec states that each Entity can have only one StatusCondition, and the get_statuscondition operation is responsible for that. Since with the DDS-PSM-Cxx API I can repeatedly create a StatusCondition for the same Entity, I can potentially break the Singleton pattern.

    I would suggest that we state explicitly that when you instantiate multiple StatusCondition objects to the same Entity, they all end up pointing to the same Delegate.

DataReader semantics for historical data are insufficient

  • Key: DDS15-52
  • Legacy Issue Number: 10805
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Problem:
    The current specification provides no solution for the following two use-cases:
    · A Volatile DataReader can receive data from a Transient or persistent DataWriter so it may also be interested in historical data. However a DataReader cannot receive historical data. Just making the DataReader Transient does not solve the problem because the DataReader may also be interested in volatile data.
    · A Transient or Persistent DataReader may not be interested in historical data, there is no way to avoid receiving historical data. A DataReader may be e.g. Transient to avoid receiving data from volatile DataWriters, in addition there may be no interest in historical data.

    Solution:
    Separate the control of receiving historical data from the DataReaders durability interest. The DataReaders Durability interest will specify from which DataWriter it will accept data. A separate call will control (ask for) the retrieval of historical data.
    Add the following method
    ReturnCode_t get_historical_data(Duration_t max_wait)
    And Transient and Persistent DataReaders should not automatically receive historical data. A consequence is that this invalidates the method
    ReturnCode_t wait_for_historical_data(Duration_t max_wait).

Define relationship between Query and QueryCondition

  • Status: open  
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Mr. Erik Hendriks)
  • Summary:

    The current DDS-PSM-Cxx spec distinguishes between Queries and QueryConditions. The former can be used in a Selector, the latter can be used in a WaitSet. However, from the end-user perspective it would make sense that if I want my WaitSet to trigger on incoming data matching my QueryCondition, that I then want to consume the data matching my Query in some way.

    According to the current specification I would need to instantiate both a Query and a QueryCondition based on the same expression. If I then want to modify my Query parameters, I would need to do so consistently for both my Query and my QueryCondition.

    I propose to make QueryCondition extend from Query, and make Query extend from Reference instead of Value. That allows us to store a reference to our internal query state (e.g. to the parse-tree) into the Query object instead of having to redo the whole thing over and over again.

Communication Status changes for multiple events

  • Key: DDS15-244
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Object Computing, Inc. - OCI ( Mr. Adam Mitz)
  • Summary:

    Plain Communication Status structures may undergo multiple changes between the time the first event occurs and when the application reads/resets the Plain Communication Status. This results in loss of important data that DDS should make available to the application. It is more likely to occur when using the WaitSet/StatusCondition mechanism instead of Listeners, but may occur with Listeners depending on how the implementation determines when to invoke the Listener.

    For example, an application creates a DataReader that uses Deadline QoS. In order to monitor for Deadline violations, the application gets the reader's StatusCondition and adds it to a WaitSet. If that Condition becomes active, the application invokes get_requested_deadline_missed_status to determine which instance experienced the deadline violation (using last_instance_handle). However, in the case that multiple instances have deadline violations since the last time status was checked (total_count_change > 1), the identity of all but the last of those instances is not available to the application.

    This same concept applies to any of the uses of "last_*" in the Plain Communication Status structures.

Provide extension constructors for standard classes

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Sumant Tambe)
  • Summary:

    The specification does not seem to provide any "standard" way to pass vendor-specific arguments to constructors of standard classes. As constructor is a special function, the trick of overloading operator -> (used for vendor-specific member functions) does not work.

    Take DataState for example: We need to pass more that just InstanceState, ViewState, and SampleState.

    Proposed Resolution: (1) Add overly-generic template constructors that accepts any number of generic arguments. For instance,

    template <class Arg1, class Arg2, class Arg3>
    Class(Arg1 &, Arg2 &, Arg3 &);

    Some classes like DataState may be extended with operator >> template. This style is used in DataReaderQos and DataWriterQos.

    RTI is not thrilled about this option. However, it may solve similar problems in all the classes that need vendor-specific constructors.

    Alternatively, (2) Allow vendor-specific constructors and member-functions in standard classes. The standard simply needs to say that it is allowed.

EntityQos is overly general

  • Legacy Issue Number: 18445
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Sumant Tambe)
  • Summary:

    EntityQos template is a rather overly general way of setting and getting policies. Member template functions generate the code depending upon the policy type. If you pass a wrong type, it eventually ends up showing a link-time error as opposed to a compile-time error. For instance, there is a link-time error in the code below because DataWriterQos has no presentation policy.

    dds::pub::qos::DataWriterQos dwqos;
    dds::core::policy::Deadline d;
    dds::core::policy::Presentation p;
    dwqos >> p; /// Linker error here. No compile-time error
    dwqos >> d; /// Fine!

    Additionally, the dot operator provides no help for syntax completion because the policy function is a member template. Consequently, the end-user might be tempted to use the -> operator, which does provide syntax completion depending upon the implementation of the delegate. As a result, for standard policies -> will be used, which is unintended.

    Proposed Resolution:

    1. Add template classes DataReaderQos, DataWriterQoS, PublisherQos, SubscriberQos, DomainParticipantQos in the dds namespace.

    2. Support non-template member functions for setting and getting respective policies. For instance. dwqos.deadline() and dwqos.deadline(d) should be supported.

    3. Define operator << and operator >> outside the QoS class and overload for the respective policies.

    4. The templated verions of policy getters/setters can still be supported. However, I seriously doubt their usefulness. If we decide to keep them, at least I would like to turn the linker error into compiler error using a meta-programming technique described here:

Name clash between Topic discovery functions

  • Status: open  
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Mr. Erik Hendriks)
  • Summary:

    The discovery functions for Topics (dds/topic/discovery.hpp) has a name clash between the function to discover a single topic by name (first function) and the function to discover all topics using a back-inserting iterator (third function):

    template <typename TOPIC>
    TOPIC discover(const dds::domain::DomainParticipant& dp,
                   const std::string& name,
                   const dds::core::Duration& timeout = dds::core::Duration::infinite());
    
    template <typename ANYTOPIC, typename BinIterator>
    uint32_t discover(const dds::domain::DomainParticipant& dp, BinIterator begin);
    

    The first function has a default value for the 3rd parameter, but when you try to invoke it with only 2 parameters, the compiler picks the latter function because it considers that one a better match. (It matches both the amount and the type of the parameters, since the 2nd parameter is templatized and accepts any type).

dds::topic::TBuiltinTopicKey should be completely customizable.

  • Status: open  
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Mr. Erik Hendriks)
  • Summary:

    In the DDS 1.4 specification, the IDL file describing the builtin topics consists of two parts:

    • A section with #define statements where certain datatypes may be customized by the different vendors.
    • A section where these customized datatypes are actually embedded in the builtin topic declarations.

    All builtin topics contain a key field of type BuiltinTopicKey_t that is defined in the following way:

    #define BUILTIN_TOPIC_KEY_TYPE_NATIVE long
    
    module DDS {
        struct BuiltinTopicKey_t {
            BUILTIN_TOPIC_KEY_TYPE_NATIVE value[3];
        };
    };
    

    This implies that vendors may specify part of the key (the array element type), but they may not specify it to be anything else than an array of three of those vendor specific datatypes.

    Right now, different vendors have specified the BuiltinTopicKey_t in various different ways: some uses an array of 16 octets to directly reflect the RTPS GUID, but the official DDS spec does not allow for this.

    For the DDS 1.4 specification, this has been files as a separate issue (see DDS15-206). For the Cxx PSM for DDS, this also needs to be addressed which is the purpose of this ticket. Right now, for the Cxx PSM specifies the dds::topic::BuiltinTopicKey as a vendor spefic instantiation of the dds::topic::TBuiltinTopicKey template in the following way:

    template <typename D>
    class dds::topic::TBuiltinTopicKey : public ::dds::core::Value<D>
    {
    public:
        /**
         * Gets the BuiltinTopicKey.
         *
         * @return the BuiltinTopicKey
         */
        const int32_t* value() const;
    
        /**
         * Sets the BuiltinTopicKey.
         *
         * @param v the value to set
         */
        void value(const int32_t v[]);
    };
    

    It is clear from this description that although the size of the array is unspecified, it is still implied that the key is an array of int32_t. This conflicts with the original DDS specification that explicitly allows for the builtin topic key type to be customizable by the user.

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

    Reference makes the new operator private to disallow dynamic allocation for reference types.

    However, this makes some compilers unable to find the placement-new operator (operator new (size_t, void*)), whose usage is still valid (for example, in STL containers):

    /local/VxWorks/GPP-3.6/gnu/4.1.2-vxworks-6.6/sun4-solaris2/bin/../../lib/gcc/../../include/c++/4.1/xmemory:37: error: no matching function for call to 'dds::core::TEntity<rti::core::Entity>::operator new(unsigned int, void*&)'
    ../../../hpp/dds/core/Reference.hpp:184: note: candidates are: static void* dds::core::Reference<DELEGATE>::operator new(size_t) [with DELEGATE = rti::core::Entity]
    

    We haven't found yet a solution other than not making new private.

Generic InstanceHandle constructor should be explicit

    with:

      template <typename ARG0>
      explicit TInstanceHandle(const ARG0& arg0);
    

    An implicit constructor like that one indicates the compiler that it can implicitly convert any type to InstanceHandle, which severely interferes with the compiler's template substitution procedures and error reporting.

Method SampleInfo::valid() should be renamed SampleInfo::valid_data()

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

    There are several reasons for this:

    (1) The DDS-PIM defines the information in the SampleInfo as a "valid_data" flag therefore when mapped to the C++ PSM the same name should be retained.

    (2) This is consistent with the other PSMs.

    (3) Semantically SampleInfo::valid() is incorrect. The SampleInfo is always valid. What is invalid is the associated SampleData. Hence the correct name would be SampleInfo::valid_data()

API corrections required to ManipulatorSelector and related functions

  • Status: open

  • 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:

    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.

Use of Stateful versus Stateless Endpoints

  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    The specification defines two reference implementations for RTPS Readers and Writers:

    • Stateless Writer (section 8.4.8)
    • Stateless Reader (section 8.4.11)
    • Stateful Writer (section 8.4.9)
    • Stateful Reader (section 8.4.12)

    Section 8.4.3 (Implementing the RTPS Protocol) indicates that it is an implementation decision whether to have the implementation match either the "Stateful" or "Stateless" reference behaviors. There are tradeoff with regards to the scalability and resources that may dictate which is preferable. But it does not impact interoperability.

    While that is true, there are still some observable behavioral differences that users have encountered and been surprised by.

    For example a BestEffort StatelessReader can add to the ReaderCache samples that arrive out of order. If the Reader has PRESENTATION access_scope=INSTANCE and the out of order samples are for different instances then they can be received by DDS.

    A BestEffort StatefulReader will drop the out of order sample when this happens.

    The problem is that in some cases the users are sensitive to this difference in behavior. This is specially a problem for best-efforts when you mix samples that require fragmentation with some not requiring fragmentation. In this case a later "non-fragmented" sample can arrive ahead of a fragment in the "fragmented sample", or be prioritized by the receiver stack ahead of the re-assembly...

    Because of this there is a desire to be able to somehow indicate or configure the use of a Stateless Reader versus a StatefulReader. This does not mean the user's require that there is a portable configuration mechanism (e.g via DDS Qos) rather that they know that all implementations will provide some means to configure it.

    A possible way to address this would be to add a sub-section to 8.4.15 (Implementation Guidelines) that discusses the selection of Stateful versus Stateless readers, especially for the best-effort case, and recommends that the choice is configurable using the DDS layer.

Errors in non-normative IDL of section 7.5.1.2.3 Mapping of Operations to the ReplyTopic Types

  • Key: DDSRPC11-2

    struct RobotControl_getSpeed_Result {

    This IDL is not correct. It contains extra "};" preceding the @Choice annotations in several places.

    In Addition in IDL42 all annotations are lower case. Specifically @autoid is defined there.

    Therefore the correct IDL would be:

    struct RobotControl_command_Result {

  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    If a writer disposes an instance that it never sent to a reader, should it still send the dispose to the reader?

    In general sending it would cause an scalability problem. So it would be better not to.

    However there are cases where it may be needed. For example if a Writer sets an alarm and a different writer that never created it wants to dispose it.

    Perhaps this behavior something is something that should be configurable on the Reader or Writer.

Add restrictions and guidelines that are required when writing GROUP coherent sets

  • Key: DDS15-238
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    RTPS 2.4 added support for GROUP ordered access and coherent access. As part of this effort, a number of restrictions and guidelines were identified that should be added to DDS in order to properly support these features.

    The restrictions include:

    • Writers shall not be created and/or deleted from the time a GROUP Publisher called begin_coherent_changes() to end_coherent_changes()
    • Readers belonging to a subscriber with PRESENTATION access_scope=GROUP must all have the same value for DESTINATION_ORDER, RELIABILITY?, DURABILITY, OWNERSHIP
    • Writers belonging to a Publisher with PRESENTATION access_scope=GROUP should have the same value for OWNERSHIP, DURABILITY, RELIABILITY?, DESTINATION_ORDER?
      • With OWNERSHIP: kind (i.e. all SHARED or all EXCLUSIVE) and in the case they are exclusive all Writers must have value of the the same OWNERSHIP_STRENGTH.
    • All samples in the coherent set should have the same reception_timestamp and source_timestamp:
      • If access_scope = GROUP the reception and source timestamp are equal to that of the EndCoherentChanges sample.
      • If access_scope < GROUP the reception and source timestamp correspond to the ones from the last sample in the coherent set which may or may not be the EndCoherentChanges sample.

    Guidelines:

    • Adding a note for users that it may often be required to change the HISTORY kind/depth from KEEP_LAST,1. This is because a publisher that is quickly publishing coherent sets which update the same instances could very easily invalidate a coherent set that has not been fully delivered to the subscribers. Replacing a sample in history that is part of a coherent set invalidates that coherent set. It may be worth adding a callback that is called when a writer removes a coherent set from its queue
      • In general, writers that are part of a GROUP Publisher should be configured homogeneously.

  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    RTPS 2.4 added support for GROUP ordered access and coherent access. It may be useful to consider adding some resource limits specifically associated with coherent sets.
    For example, limiting the maximum number of samples that can be outstanding per DataReader and per Subscriber.

    These resource limits would help to prevent a (potentially ill-intentioned) Writer from filling up the entire reader queue with a never-ending coherent set since the reader must store the coherent set until it is complete.

How to handle some GROUP ordered Subcriber scenarios

  • Key: DDS15-237
  • Status: open  
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Mr. Erik Hendriks)
  • Summary:

    When using a GROUP ordered Subscriber, how do you access the samples in the order in which they are produced? The DDS1.4 specification says the following thing about this:.

    "If the PRESENTATION QosPolicy of the Subscriber to which the DataReader belongs has the access_scope set to ‘GROUP.’ This operation should only be invoked inside a begin_access/end_access block. Otherwise it will return the error PRECONDITION_NOT_MET. Depending on the setting of the PRESENTATION QoS policy (see 2.2.3.6), the returned collection of DataReader objects may be a ‘set’ containing each DataReader at most once in no specified order, or a ‘list’ containing each DataReader one or more times in a specific order.

    1. If PRESENTATION access_scope is INSTANCE or TOPIC the returned collection is a ‘set.’
    2. If PRESENTATION access_scope is GROUP and ordered_access is set to TRUE, then the returned collection is a ‘list.’
      This difference is due to the fact that, in the second situation it is required to access samples belonging to different DataReader objects in a particular order. In this case, the application should process each DataReader in the same order it appears in the ‘list’ and read or take exactly one sample from each DataReader. The patterns that an application should use to access data is fully described in 2.2.2.5.1, Access to the data."

    The big question here is: what happens when the user does not follow this scenario exactly? Here is a couple of potential deviations from the described scenario:

    1. Reading more than one sample from every listed reader (i.e. use read/take with max_samples > 1)
      • We could state that no matter what the size of max_samples is, you get one sample at max.
    2. Reading/Taking samples with different sample/view/instance state masks than passed to the get_datareaders() call.
    3. Reading/Taking samples from a different reader than next one in the reader list.
    4. you invoke get_datareaders() before having fully iterated through the previous reader list.

    We should specify what happens if an application (intentionally or non-intentionally) does not follow the scenario laid out in the spec, or we should come up with an alternative reading mechanism that does not allow you stray off the correct path in these ways for example by introducing new function calls.

Request/Offered behavior of DURABILITY Qos does not match use-cases

  • Key: DDS15-236
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    The DURABILITY Qos is defined as Request/Offered. If a DataWriter offers a kind, the DataReader 'request' kind must be 'less or equal'. Otherwise they will not match, for this comparison it is considered that
    VOLATILE < TRANSIENT_LOCAL < TRANSIENT < PERSISTENT.

    This is not intuitive to users and does not match many of the use-cases observed in practice.

    What users expect is for a DataWriter to configure its durability without impact on the matching (very much like HISTORY). The setting would just control whether the DataWriter keeps a local copy of the data for late joiners and whether it sends the data to the persistence services.

    The reader in the other hand should simple state whether it wants "historical data" meaning data that was published before the reader joined the domain. This could just be a "boolean" or maybe a boolean plus some extra information that controls how much "historical data" to get.

    If the DataWriter enabled durability then it would get the data that the DataWriters have on their "historical cache" that includes data from the Persistence services.

    If a DataWriter set DURABILITY to TRANSIENT or PERSISTENT, then it would send its data to the PERSISTENCE services. It it was 'TRANSIENT LOCAL" then the Persistence service would not match the writer.

    Ideally this could be done as an extension so it has minimal impact in current behavior or interoperabiity

Add DataTagQosPolicy

  • Key: DDS15-208
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    The DDS Security specification (see 7.2.5) added a DataTagQosPolicy defined as:

    @extensibility(APPENDABLE)
    struct Tag {
        string name;
        string value;
    };
    
    typedef sequence<Tag> TagSeq;
    
    @extensibility(APPENDABLE)
    struct DataTags {
        TagSeq tags;
    };
    
    typedef DataTags DataTagQosPolicy
    

    This is actually a generic policy that does not require DDS Security. It makes sense even without security as a way to associate tags with DataWriters and DataReaders.

    Therefore it would be better to move that definition to the DDS specification. This is a user-visible API that is expected to be explicitly set. If it is not part of the DDS API than applications would not be directly portable between DDS and DDS security.

    The spec should also define values for DATATAG_QOS_POLICY_NAME and DATATAG_QOS_POLICY_ID. For example:

     const string DATATAG_QOS_POLICY_NAME = "DataTag";
     const QosPolicyId_t  DATATAG_QOS_POLICY_ID = 25;
    

    Note that currently DDS-XTYPES defines IDs 23 and 24. Probably XTYPES should have used numbers in a different range so the IDs in DDS could remain contiguous.

Add name attribute to Entity

  • Key: DDS15-50
  • Legacy Issue Number: 10807
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Problem:
    For system management it is very useful that Entities can be identified by a logical application defined name. This attribute should ideal be set via the factory create call but if changing API's is not desired it can also be set via a QoS policy. This attribute should also be supported by the built-in Topics

    Solution:
    Introduction of a new Properties QoS that can be used for a name, but also for other things. The new QoS would contain a sequence of "properties" where each property is a pair of strings:
    (property_name, property_value)
    This Properties QoS can be used very much the same as the USER_DATA, but because each property is named, multiple things can be stored without conflicting with each other. This also provides an extensibility mechanism for the DDS spec. We can reserve the property-names with the prefix "DDS." To indicate "built-in" properties that should not be used by applications.
    We can use this mechanism with the built-in property name "DDS.EntityName" to implement the name attribute.

BuiltinTopicKey_t should be completely customizable.

  • Key: DDS15-206
  • Status: open  
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Mr. Erik Hendriks)
  • Summary:

    The IDL file describing the builtin topics consists of two parts:

    • A section with #define statements where certain datatypes may be customized by the different vendors.
    • A section where these customized datatypes are actually embedded in the builtin topic declarations.

    All builtin topics contain a key field of type BuiltinTopicKey_t that is defined in the following way:

    #define BUILTIN_TOPIC_KEY_TYPE_NATIVE long
    
    module DDS {
        struct BuiltinTopicKey_t {
            BUILTIN_TOPIC_KEY_TYPE_NATIVE value[3];
        };
    };
    

    This implies that vendors may specify part of the key (the array element type), but they may not specify it to be anything else than an array of three of those vendor specific datatypes.

    Right now, different vendors have specified the BuiltinTopicKey_t in various different ways: some uses an array of 16 octets to directly reflect the RTPS GUID, but the official DDS spec does not allow for this.

    In order to allow for these kinds of vendor specific customizations, the entire BuiltinTopicKey_t should be declared as a vendor specific #define statement.

    As some context: this issue was filed in the RTPS RTF working group during the Dec 2017 San Fransisco OMG meeting. Basically the consensus was that indeed the builtin topic key type should be fully customizable. How this is exactly gonna be achieved was left to the DDS RTF working group.

  • Summary:

    We observe differences between DDS vendors related to begin/end_coherent_changes and presentation.coherent_access==true. The question is how begin_coherent_changes() should behave when presentation.coherent_access==false. Some vendors are silent and the operation just works, some return a RETCODE_ERROR saying begin_coherent_changes may only be called when presentation.coherent_access==true. To our idea the DDS spec should be precise so that users who separate code and qos (like DDS4CCM) do know what behavior they get

No specification for unregister_type for TypeSupport interface

  • Key: DDS15-201
  • Status: open  
  • Source: DSTO ( Michael Mathers)
  • Summary:

    Currently there is no specification on the TypeSupport interface for an unregister_type operation as a companion to the register_type operation. This leads to variation between vendor implementations with respect to the lifecycle of type registrations. In the case of component-based architectural approaches it is desirable to be able to unload components to free resources. With no clear ability to unregister a type, it is not safe to unload component libraries while a container or manager of DDS infrastructure may still hold a reference to a no longer used type.

Remove key_fields

  • Summary:

    We propose to remove key_fields completely from the DDS_TopicBase connector. The knowledge which fields are a key is specified in IDL using annotations and shouldn't be set again on the connector instance.

Until now we also have not seen any use case which require this information to be available as StringSeq as part of a connector instance.

Syntax for Topic Names

  • Key: DDS15-200
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    For portability & interoperability it is necessary to know what the valid syntax of topic names can be, including valid characters. Some vendors support characters like '.' '/', ':' while others don't.

    The spec should make clear which characters are supported by all vendors

    Note that Appendix B does include a TOPICNAME syntax, but this section appears only related to content filters it is not clear if this would limit a Topic name in general. In Appendix B it says:

    TOPICNAME - A topic name is an identifier for a topic, and is defined as any series of characters ‘a’, ..., ‘z’, ‘A’, ..., ‘Z’, ‘0’, ..., ‘9’, ‘-’ but may not start with a digit.

    This seems limiting and also the "-" seems like an odd choice or perhaps a typo. "_" would be a more natural choice...

    Also it seems very restrictive to not allow things like "." or "/" or ":" given that large systems would want to organize their topic names and take advantage of this.

The file dds-xtypes_type_definition.xsd should not define a targetNamespace

  • Key: DDSWEB11-2
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    This is the so called "Chameleon" Schema and it is best for XSDs that define "building blocks of XSD types" which may be then imported/included (included) by other XSDs.

    See http://www.xfront.com/ZeroOneOrManyNamespaces.html

    The issue is this. If a XSD is imported into another one that has a different target namespaces it will cause some "usability problems" in the resulting XML documents. This is only an issue when the XSD is imported in order to be a building block of the resulting XSD and is not natural for the end user to have to understand the original XSDs as separate conceptual units.

    For example if we wanted to create a "dds.xsd" that used a target namespace such as http://www.omg.org/dds/ and this imports XSDs like XTYPES with target namespace http://www.omg.org/xtypes/ and dds4ccm with target namespece (http://www.omg.org/dds4ccm). Note these are not the actual namespaces in those documents. I am selecting this to simplify the description.

    Then each time an element from a different namespace it would need to explicitly add the attribute xmlns to the element. This would happen for both for the included DDS_QosProfiles.xsd (it uses the namespace http://www.omg.org/dds4ccm) and for dds-xtypes_type_definition.xsd (it uses the namespace http://www.omg.org/xtypes/) the resulting references to elements in that XSD would need to specify the namespace using the "xmlns" attribute as in:
    <publisher name="ShapePublisher">
    <publisher_qos>
    <partition xmlns="http://www.omg.org/dds4ccm/">
    <name>
    <element>A</element>
    </name>
    </partition>
    <publisher_qos>
    </publisher>

    This is cumbersome and hard to get right for the user. Also many XML editors do not provide assistance with it. The best solution would have been for the referenced standards (DD4CCM and XTYPES) to define their XSD schemas without a targetNamespace. This would have allowed the namespace to be defined in the XSD that includes them.

    This is a common approach known as using “Chameleon Schemas”. These specifications could also preserve the use of their namespace by putting the namespace in a separate XSD that “includes” the Chameleon Schema. To address this an issue should be filed against those specifications to change their schemas into Chameleon schemas.

    There is no loss of generality as it is always possible to define another XSD that simply includes the Chameleon one and adds the namespace.

  • Summary:

    Problem:
    There is inconsistency in the spec: on page 2-24 there is a list of operations that is allowed when the DomainParticipant is in the disabled state. This list does not include any lookup operations. However, on page 2-14 there is also a list of operations which may be invoked when Entity has not yet been enabled, and here the 'lookup' operations are mentioned. So the questions are whether the DomainParticipant should be allowed to perform "find_topic" and "lookup_topicdescription" operations when it is in disabled state.

    Our proposal is that find_topic should not be allowed in this case, but lookup_topicdescription should be allowed. Also all delete operations including the delete_contained_entities should be allowed

Attributes_on_the_data

  • Legacy Issue Number: 6733
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Boeing ( Matthew Liu)
  • Summary:

    Attributes_on_the_data Issue [Boeing SOSCOE] ? The DDS API forces the data to be written to be encapsulated into a single IDL structure. Moreover IDL-generated structures do not support pointers to other structures. ? These limitations are constraining the kinds of things that a layer such as SOSCOE can do. For example, it would be desirable to allow the DDS DataWriter to filter or perform other actions on information that is not “part of the data”. Not “being part of the data” means the attributes: • Are propagated along with the message (1-to-1 relationship) to the reader. • May be used for filtering, or intercepted by layers above DDS (e.g. SOSCOE). • Do not get passed to the read or take calls ? The problem is that since the DataWriter takes a single “compacted” data-structure, any additional information, whether introduced by the user-app or the SOSCOE layer must be somehow copied into the data and thus force the introduction of new data-types. ? In other words it would be desirable for DDS so provide some hook that would allow a user or a layer such as SOSCOE to add additional information to the “user-level” data that is then used by DDS to filter on. The filtering would then occur on the additional information provided by the SOSCOE layer and not by the application that is writing the data. There are three main ways to use this • The additional SOSCOE information, would be supplied in conjunction with every write operation. So the filtering is evaluated on every write. This may be too inefficient in some cases and therefore there should also be a way to turn off the filtering also (e.g. by providing an empty set of attributes). • The additional SOSCOE information is provided by some other means than a parameter to the write (e.g. a set_attributes(InstanceHandle_t, Attributes)) call on the DataWriter) so that the filtering does not examine every data-sample for filtering; rather it is performed on information that changes at much slower rate. For example, there is the concept of a “geographical region” in which the information lives; the filtering applies to getting information that is within our region of interest, and re-evaluation of the filter only occurs each time the region changes which is much rarer than the actual data changing. • The attributes could be attached to the instance by means of a separate API. These additional attributes would then be passed to the serialization as well as the filter operations. The deserialization would also need to handle them. This approach would meet SOSCOE’s requirements and has the advantage of not forcing filters to be re-evaluated each write; they would only be evaluated if the attributes change. Proposal [Boeing SOSCOE] ? Add a set of attributes (name-value pairs) (ref Issue#2035) that are provided separately from the data and can then be used to do the filtering. ? This allows reusing the same data with different attributes and thus filter it differently. ? Name-value pair representation would also potentially allow sending a partial list of attributes ? Filtering can be done on this name-attribute pairs. Similar to ContentFilteredTopic but the filtering is done on the attributes, not the data. Note that the ContentFilteredTopic may not know enough about the data. The data may be marshaled and encrypted. The brokering of the data may be done by nodes that do not know how to unmarshal/decrypt the data.

  • Summary:

    The name patterns in the normative XML schema in Annex C do not support underscores. For detailed or lengthy profile names (especially including internal acronyms), using underscores significantly improves readability.

    In addition, the elementName type is used both for the name and base_name attributes of the qosProfile type; however, the pattern for the elementName type does not support scoping, which is needed for inheritance between profiles in different libraries.

    In order to address these, I propose that the elementName and topicNameFilter patterns be changed from:

    "([a-zA-Z0-9 ])+"

    to:

    "^((:?([a-zA-Z0-9_])(:[a-zA-Z0-9_]))*)$"

DDS does not provide the complete means for a user of the DDS API to detect “dynamic” failure of QoS and other “configuration” changes that may be important. For example: • LATENCY_BUDGET (on the receiver side). • Messages dropped due to lack of resources (on the receiver side) • Messages lost when QoS is RELIABLE KEEP_ALL (related to Issue# 2070) • Changes on the ownership of data-instances. • Addition of a remote DataReader that matches a local DataWriter. Removal of a remote DataReader that matches a local DataWriter. • Addition of a remote DataWriter to a local DataReader; removal of a remote DataWriter to a local DataReader. • Changes in “liveliness” of a remote DataReader of a local DataWriter. The symmetric situation, that is changes in liveliness of a remote DataWriter to a local DataReader does have a listener in the DataReader. Proposal [Boeing SOSCOE] ?

Let the user be able to instantiate one dds connector

  • Legacy Issue Number: 15238
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Remedy IT ( Johnny Willemsen)
  • Summary:

    Currently the DDS4CCM specification puts within the Typed module the extended ports, but also the dds connectors. The drawback of this approach is that when the user instantiates this templated module he gets both connectors, even when he is only interested in using one. We propose to move the DDS_State and DDS_Event to their own typed module so that the end user can instantiate just one of these connectors. This also makes it easier for a code generator to just generate the implementation for a specific connector, at this moment there is nothing in idl which can be used to determine whether the end user wants to use DDS_Event and/or DDS_State

  • Key: DDS11-1
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6852
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    The problem is with the QoS that have dynamically-sized things inside,
    namely PARTITION (string) and USER_DATA (sequence). These fields force
    a "malloc" each time the structure is copied out (even if a
    pre-allocated structure is passed in)

    Moreover copies may also result in memory allocation and frees. Can't
    this be avoided?

    In the C mapping copies would then require the use of an explicit
    function rather than direct assignment

    One possibility would be to refactor the USER_DATA and PARTITION into
    a more generic NAME-value pair infrastructure. Allow these to be set
    with a different API (i.e. not by means of QoS, but as direct
    operation on the Entity). These avoids all the above problems

Additional_qos_THROUGHPUT Issue

  • Key: DDS11-5
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6741
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Boeing ( Matthew Liu)
  • Summary:

    Issue# 2110 Additional_qos_THROUGHPUT Issue [Boeing SOSCOE] ? The DDS specification has no provision to control the amount of bandwidth that the different entities can consume. ? Ideally the user of the DDS API could indicate bandwidth limits and also reserve bandwidth in a way that could then be mapped by the service into the underlying transport facilities, for the cases where those facilities are there. ? At a minimum the user would like to indicate bandwidth limits in bytes per second. Although low level, this kind of unit would make more sense than something like messages-per-second because each data-type, or maybe even each particular write to an instance may be of a different size. ? There is also the case where the communication infrastructure needs to communicate to the application how much bandwidth it can expect to have. This can also change dynamically based on current network conditions. The application can then take advantage of this knowledge to configure itself so that only the more important messages are sent. ? All we need is something that can be passed to the API; the middleware does not need to do anything with it. ? Not clear how it can be implemented or how it interacts with things. But there is a requirement that there is a way to specify this QoS. This comes from streaming type applications. They want to be able to reserve some bandwidth.

    Proposal [Boeing SOSCOE] ? No concrete action is proposed at this time. The precise definition is fairly involved. However there is a general desire to be able to allocate and control bandwidth utilization so it would be nice if approaches would be explored. Comment [RTI] ? The fundamental problem is how to map this to the DDS model. The DDS spec. does not have a model for the Transport or expose to the user which entities (writers / readers) are associated with each transport. It is in fact possible that a single write to an Entity may result on multiple messages each over a different transport, its all hidden from the application. ? So the first thing would be to introduce some model on how the entities interact with the transport. Where are the TranportPlugins installed (globally, per participant, per Connector), what are the transport “resources” (e.g. in RTI’s TPI the SendResource, and ReceiveResource) and how they map to the DDS entities. ? Introducing a QoS that limits the bandwidth used by each DataWriter would be straightforward. Similarly for a QoS that attempts to reserve certain amount of bandwidth for a particular DataWriter. The DDS implementation who knows what transports it is associated with would then map it to the appropriate transport calls. The problem is that it would apply indiscriminately to all transports. ? For the case of EndpointConnectors if transports were explicitly associated with the connector, then it may also be possible to set this kind of QoS. It would then apply to all the DataReaders and DataWriters in the EndpointConnector. ? Regarding the listeners, presumably the callbacks would refer to the bandwidth changes on each transport resource. So for the user of the DDS API to make sense of this they would need that mode/map to DDS entities.

DDS ISSUE# 50] Multiple observers sharing a datareader

  • Key: DDS11-8
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6850
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    Ref-166 Allow_multiple_observers_on_a_datareader

    Currently there can only be one "observer" on each DataReader. In
    other words, it is not possible to have some independent application
    observe the data that a DataReader gets without at the same time
    affecting the sample-state and this the behavior of other
    data-readers.

    It is often the case that debugging tool, an interceptor or some other
    utility would like to access the data available on the DataReader
    without making its presence noted and thus changing the behavior of
    other readers. This is particularly relevant for the built-in topics.

    **PROPOSAL**

    Add an operation: DataReader:: create_view that returns a
    DataReader. This affects 2.2.2.4.1 and the IDL in 2.2.3

    This DataReader is a view on the same DataReader so it has the same
    QoS and listeners.

    The application can use the original DataReader or a view to perform
    any operations allowed on a DataReader.

    A change of QoS or listener in one view or on the main object affects
    the main object and all views.

    Read and Take operations act independently on each view. The
    application must take the data from all views before it can be removed
    from the infrastructure and the resources reclaimed.

Filtered_out_lifecycle_state Issue

  • Key: DDS11-11
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6734
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Boeing ( Matthew Liu)
  • Summary:

    Issue# 2050 Filtered_out_lifecycle_state Issue [Boeing SOSCOE] ? Sometimes the receiving application needs to know that data is being filtered-out. In some use cases this situation is different from the case where data is not being produced. ? A related question is whether the presence of filters (content-based, time-based) can be the cause of a DataReader to miss a requested deadline. It depends whether the deadline is interpreted to mean that data is produced at that rate, or else that data that passes the filter must be produced at that rate. ? SOSCOE thinks that the filter should not cause a deadline to be missed, rather the reader should receive explicit notification that the data was filtered-out. At least that data is starting to be filtered-out, not necessarily each time something is filtered out. ? In any case filters should not cause loss of liveliness. ? A typical use-case may be that a display-device is showing the tanks in a certain area (the one relevant to that particular display). The display has a filter to indicate that region of interest. When the tank leaves the region of interest, the display wants to know that. That way it can stop displaying it; however the display does not want to internally discard all the information about the tank immediately in case the tank appears again. The display needs to therefore know that the data for that tank instance is being filtered out. This situation is different from missing a deadline which may indicate that the data is not being generated as intended. ? Note that if a filter is present and a deadline is set, it would be necessary for the implementation to send some information to the reader so that the deadline would not fire. However, bandwidth is very important in some cases, so sending any information when the data is being filtered may be too expensive. ? One option may be to have the application change the deadline to a larger value when it finds out that the data is being filtered. Another possibility is to specify two values of the deadline, one when the data is not filtered and the other when the data is being filtered (the second one could be specified along with the filter). In this case the information that the middleware implementation sends to avoid missing the deadline could be sent at the lower rate. ? This facility may be hard to implement for all cases. For example in the case where the filter is applied at the source and the reliability QoS is BEST_EFFORTS it is not guaranteed that said notification would be received by the reader. If this is indeed the case then we would not require the filtered-out notification to be guaranteed if the reliability setting is BEST_EFFORTS. Proposal [Boeing SOSCOE] ? Add FILTERED_OUT lifecycle state to allow user to know that data is being filtered out. The usage of this state should be an option for the user. ? If the option is on, the state is set on a sample when the sample was filtered out and the previous sample was not filtered out. Only one notification of filtering is required, not one per sample being filtered. ? Optionally introduce a deadline_while_filtered QoS on the ContentFilteredTopic which would transition the deadline to a larger value when the data is being filtered.

attributes as part of porttype do appear on port and mirrorport

  • Source: Remedy IT ( Johnny Willemsen)
  • Summary:

    This version of DDS4CCM adds the functionality to specify attributes as part of a porttype. This porttype can than be used by a component or connector as port or as mirrorport. The problem we see is that the attribute appears on the component/connector that uses the porttype as port or mirrorport. To our opinion the grammer should be more specific where the attribute appear, we propose to add the attribute by default to the component that uses the porttype as port, when the attribute has to appear on the component that uses the port as mirrorport we propose to define the attribute as:
    mirror attribute my_attribute;

    In case of DDS4CCM we see that the dds4ccm DDS_State connector gets 4 attributes which is what we want, but any user component using the porttype also gets a filter attribute

  • Summary:

    Issue# 2120 Key_separate_from_data Issue [Boeing SOSCOE] ? Keyed data is important but having the key being part of the data leads to duplication or copying into other types of structures. ? Note that this issue is not too critical. SOSCOE has worked around it by creating a container type that copies the data inside. Proposal [Boeing SOSCOE] ? Split the keys out from the data type. The idea would be to have the write operations take two parameters, one for the data and the other for the key. The same would apply to the reader side. Comment [RTI] ? Maybe this can already be accommodated with a small extension of the DDS API. If we had a DataReader::register_type that took only the key, then we could say that provided that the InstanceHandle_t is passed to the write() operation it is not required for the data to contain the key. ? This issue is exacerbated by the fact that IDL does not allow structures to contain pointers to other structures. If this limitation was not present, then it would reasonable for the user of the DDS API to define a wrapper data-type that would just contain pointers to the Key and to the data-blub. Note that there are other languages’ such as ITU’s ODL (object description language) that are extension to OMG’s IDL and do allow this pointer syntax. However, for now we would have to rely on the individual vendors to implement this feature which would be technically quite simple. ? Separating the key from the data would require DDS that the definition of a Topic would involve not just the specification of the data-type, but also the key-type. Also the implied IDL that represents the type-specific data-writers and data-readers would need to now be generated for each combination of data-type and key-type. There is no standard way to indicate in the IDL file what those combinations are so it would not be so simple for the code-generator to determine this. These problems do not arise if we followed the first approach to allow pointers within the structures. Comment [Boeing SOSCOE] ? The register instance_by_key, would also help this particular scenario.

DDS ISSUE# 47] Allow application to not specify a timstamp

  • Key: DDS11-6
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6847
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    Ref-157 Ability_of_the_application_to_not_specify_a_timestamp

    Getting a timestamp can be an expensive operation. It is desirable
    that the application can configure a datawriter such that it does not
    get/send the timestamp

    The option of letting the application not set a timestamp by means of
    calling write_w_timestamp() and passing TIME_INVALID is not good
    because certain QoS such as DESTINATION_ORDER BY_SOURCE_TIMESTAMP
    require this. Also it would be hard to manage if the application could
    sometimes specify a timestamp and sometimes not for the same
    DataWriter/instance.

    **PROPOSAL**

    Add an "receptionTimestamp" field to the SampleInfo.

    Make the DESTINATION_ORDER also an offered QoS on the DataWriter. For
    compatibility BY_SOURCE_TIMESTAMP>BY_DESTINATION_TIMESTAMP, that is if
    you offer SOURCE_TIMESTAMP you can accommodate both kinds or readers.

    Add the QoS WRITER_TIMESTAMP and READER_TIMESTAMP.

    The SOURCE_TIMESTAMP has a kind that can be NOT_PROVIDED and PROVIDED.
    And is set on both the DataWriter and the DataReader and also on
    Topic. It has request/offered semantics where PROVIDED > NOT_PROVIDED.

    The RECEPTION_TIMESTAMP is only set in the DataReader or Topic and has
    a kind that can be NOT_PROVIDED and PROVIDED.

    The SOURCE _TIMESTAMP indicates that data must be timestamped when
    sent.

    The RECEPTION_TIMESTAMP indicates that data must be timestamped when
    received.

    DESTINATION_ORDER BY_SOURCE_TIMESTAMP requires that the SOURCE
    _TIMESTAMP is set to PROVIDED otherwise we will flag an INCOMPATIBLE
    QoS.

    If SOURCE _TIMESTAMP.kind== NOT_PROVIDED, then the DataWriter ::write
    operation does not put any timestamp and the xxx_w_timestamp operation
    silently ignores the timestamp and behaves normally. Upon reception
    the sourceTimestamp field in the SampleInfo will be TIME_INVALID

    If SOURCE _TIMESTAMP.kind== PROVIDED, then the write operation will
    automatically get the timestamp by some means (i.e. the middleware
    will do it), the xxx_w_timestamp will allow the application to provide
    the timestamp. In either case the data will be sent with a timestamp
    and the SampleInfo.sourceTimestamp field will never be TIME_INVALID

    It is allowed for RECEPTION_TIMESTAMP to be NOT_PROVIDED and the the
    DESTINATION_ORDER to be BY_RECEPTION_TIMESTAMP because what matter is
    the relative order and that does not require to get a true
    timestamp. If this is too confusing we could rename
    BY_RECEPTION_TIMESTAMP to be BY_RECEPTION_ORDER

    If RECEPTION_TIMESTAMP is NOT_PROVIDED then the
    SampleInfo.receptionTimestamp will always be TIME_INVALID. Otherwise
    it will never be TIME_INVALID By default the source-timestamp is
    provided.

The resolution of the FTF Issue 15966 was partially applied

  • Legacy Issue Number: 18582
  • Status: open  
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Angelo Corsaro, PhD.)
  • Summary:

    The resolution for the ISSUE 15996 required to remove all the operations of the kind:

    "public void setQos(String qosLibraryName, String qosProfileName);"

    from all DDS entities since this operation pollutes the DDS API with a specific way of configuring QoS policies. The accepted resolution was to introduce the concept of a QoSProvider that could provide QoS settings by fetching them from a URI.

    That said the type org.omg.dds.core.Entity still contains the operation:

    public void setQos(String qosLibraryName, String qosProfileName);

    This should be removed!

    Class<TYPE> type,
    ServiceEnvironment env)

    { return newTypeSupport(type, type.getName(), env); }

    Since type.getClass().getName() always return "java.lang.Class".

ModifiableInstanceHandle should be removed

  • Legacy Issue Number: 18420
  • Status: open  
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Mr. Julien Enoch)
  • Summary:

    The ModifiableInstanceHandle was not removed along with all other modifiable types.
    As such it should be removed for consistency, useability and performances.

    Specificaly the following methods should be removed:

    • ServiceEnvironment.newInstanceHandle()
    • DataReader.lookupInstance(ModifiableInstanceHandle handle, TYPE keyHolder)
    • DataWriter.lookupInstance(ModifiableInstanceHandle handle, TYPE keyHolder)

    And the following method should be modified to return InstanceHandle:

    • Sample.getInstanceHandle()
    • Sample.getPublicationHandle()

    Notice: the returning ModifialbeInstanceHandle forces defensive copying with obvious consequences in term of performances.

The current Java PSM makes an implicit assumptions on member ordering

  • Legacy Issue Number: 16096
  • Status: open  
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Angelo Corsaro, PhD.)
  • Summary:

    The current Java PSM makes an implicit assumptions on member ordering when defining DDS Types in POJO that is not inherently guaranteed by the Java Language Specification. The possible resolution for this issue is to require @ID annotations when defining DDS Types using POJOs. In this case the ID would be used to uniquely defining the order to the attribute members.

Bucket accessors shall be removed

  • Legacy Issue Number: 18422
  • Status: open  
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Mr. Julien Enoch)
  • Summary:

    Bucket accessors were supposed to be removed for all types (with exception of Time) as part of the FTF.
    Apparently some bucket accessors are still present (in some cases as the only possibility - e.g. Subscriber.getDataReaders()).

    This is very unfortunate since it forces defensive copies with the obvious performance impacts.
    Furthermore it makes the API inconsistent.

  • Summary:

    Instead of providing the requestedOfferedContract() method for RxO comparison, the inherited Compare implementation should follow the RxO rules.

    For instance: Deadline(2) > Deadline(5)
    This change simplify the API and avoids the creation of temporary object when trying to evaluate RxO. Notice that, in this case, the natural ordering is still available via the Duration type.

Durability Implementation Description does not consider the role of partitions

  • Key: DDS15-187
  • Legacy Issue Number: 19649
  • Status: open  
  • Source: ZettaScale Technology ( Angelo Corsaro, PhD.)
  • Summary:

    The third paragraph of the DURABILITY section (2.1.3.4) describes the semantics that has to be provided by a durability service for TRANSIENT and PERSISTENT topics. Specifically, it states that given a Topic T with DURABILITY QoS set to TRANSIENT or PERSISTENT then the "built-in fictitious" DataReader and DataWriter used by the Durability Service to receive/distribute data have to be created with the same QoS T. Yet, nothing is said with respect to the role of the PARTITION QoS. Section 2.1.3.13 clearly states that:

    "For a DataReader to see the changes made to an instance by a DataWriter, not only the Topic must match, but also they must share a common partition."

    Thus based on the current specification the Durability Service DataReader and DataWriter would only match the applications DataReader and DataWriter that are in the default partition.
