Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CallbackHelper()

CallbackHelper

(

bool

_latching = false

)

Constructor.

Parameters

[in]

_latching

Set to true to make the callback helper latching.

~CallbackHelper()

virtual ~CallbackHelper ( )

virtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

GetId()

unsigned int GetId

(

)

const

Get the unique ID of this callback.

Returns

The unique ID of this callback.

GetLatching()

bool GetLatching

(

)

const

Is the callback latching?

Returns

true if the callback is latching, false otherwise

GetMsgType()

virtual std::string GetMsgType ( ) const

virtual

Get the typename of the message that is handled.

Returns

String representation of the message type

Reimplemented in RawCallbackHelper, and CallbackHelperT< M >.

HandleData()

virtual bool HandleData ( const std::string &  _newdata, boost::function< void(uint32_t)>  _cb, uint32_t  _id  )

pure virtual

Process new incoming data.

Parameters

[in]

_newdata

Incoming data to be processed

Returns

true if successfully processed; false otherwise

Parameters

[in]	_cb	If non-null, callback to be invoked which signals that transmission is complete.
[in]	_id	ID associated with the message data.

Implemented in RawCallbackHelper, CallbackHelperT< M >, and SubscriptionTransport.

HandleMessage()

virtual bool HandleMessage ( MessagePtr  _newMsg )

pure virtual

Process new incoming message.

Parameters

[in]

_newMsg

Incoming message to be processed

Returns

true if successfully processed; false otherwise

Implemented in RawCallbackHelper, CallbackHelperT< M >, and SubscriptionTransport.

IsLocal()

virtual bool IsLocal ( ) const

pure virtual

Is the callback local?

Returns

true if the callback is local, false if the callback is tied to a remote connection

Implemented in RawCallbackHelper, CallbackHelperT< M >, and SubscriptionTransport.

SetLatching()

void SetLatching

(

bool

_latch

)

Set whether this callback is latching.

This function should only be used by the Transport library.

Parameters

[in]

_latch

False to turn off latching.

Referenced by CallbackHelperT< M >::HandleData(), RawCallbackHelper::HandleData(), CallbackHelperT< M >::HandleMessage(), and RawCallbackHelper::HandleMessage().

Member Data Documentation

latching

bool latching

protected

True means that the callback helper will get the last published message on the topic.
