Member Function Documentation

transport::PublisherPtr Advertise	(	const std::string &	_topic,
		unsigned int	_queueLimit = `1000`,
		double	_hzRate = `0`
	)

inline

Adverise a topic.

Parameters

[in]	_topic	The topic to advertise
[in]	_queueLimit	The maximum number of outgoing messages to queue for delivery
[in]	_hz	Update rate for the publisher. Units are 1.0/seconds.

Returns: Pointer to new publisher object

References Node::DecodeTopicName(), and SingletonT< TopicManager >::Instance().

std::string DecodeTopicName ( const std::string & _topic )

Decode a topic name.

Parameters

[in] The encoded name

Returns: The decoded name

Referenced by Node::Advertise(), and Node::Subscribe().

std::string EncodeTopicName ( const std::string & _topic )

Encode a topic name.

Parameters

[in] The decoded name

Returns: The encoded name

void Fini ( )

Finalize the node.

unsigned int GetId ( ) const

Get the unique ID of the node.

Returns: The unique ID of the node

Referenced by Node::Subscribe().

std::string GetMsgType ( const std::string & _topic ) const

Get the message type for a topic.

Parameters

[in] _topic The topic

Returns: The message type

std::string GetTopicNamespace ( ) const

Get the topic namespace for this node.

Returns: The namespace

bool HandleData	(	const std::string &	_topic,
		const std::string &	_msg
	)

Handle incoming data.

Parameters

[in]	_topic	Topic for which the data was received
[in]	_msg	The message that was received

Returns: true if the message was handled successfully, false otherwise

bool HandleMessage	(	const std::string &	_topic,
		MessagePtr	_msg
	)

Handle incoming msg.

Parameters

[in]	_topic	Topic for which the data was received
[in]	_msg	The message that was received

Returns: true if the message was handled successfully, false otherwise

bool HasLatchedSubscriber ( const std::string & _topic ) const

Return true if a subscriber on a specific topic is latched.

Parameters

[in] _topic Name of the topic to check.

Returns: True if a latched subscriber exists.

void Init ( const std::string & _space = "" )

Init the node.

Parameters

[in] _space Set the global namespace of all topics. If left blank, the topic will initialize to the first namespace on the Master

void InsertLatchedMsg	(	const std::string &	_topic,
		const std::string &	_msg
	)

Add a latched message to the node for publication.

This is called when a subscription is connected to a publication.

Parameters

[in]	_topic	Name of the topic to publish data on.
[in]	_msg	The message to publish.

void InsertLatchedMsg	(	const std::string &	_topic,
		MessagePtr	_msg
	)

Add a latched message to the node for publication.

This is called when a subscription is connected to a publication.

Parameters

[in]	_topic	Name of the topic to publish data on.
[in]	_msg	The message to publish.

void ProcessIncoming ( )

Process incoming messages.

void ProcessPublishers ( )

Process all publishers, which has each publisher send it's most recent message over the wire.

This is for internal use only

void Publish	(	const std::string &	_topic,
		const google::protobuf::Message &	_message
	)

inline

A convenience function for a one-time publication of a message.

This is inefficient, compared to Node::Advertise followed by Publisher::Publish. This function should only be used when sending a message very infrequently.

Parameters

[in]	_topic	The topic to advertise
[in]	_message	Message to be published

void RemoveCallback	(	const std::string &	_topic,
		unsigned int	_id
	)

SubscriberPtr Subscribe	(	const std::string &	_topic,
		void(T::*)(const boost::shared_ptr< M const > &)	_fp,
		T *	_obj,
		bool	_latching = `false`
	)

inline

Subscribe to a topic using a class method as the callback.

Parameters

[in]	_topic	The topic to subscribe to
[in]	_fp	Class method to be called on receipt of new message
[in]	_obj	Class instance to be used on receipt of new message
[in]	_latching	If true, latch latest incoming message; otherwise don't latch

Returns: Pointer to new Subscriber object

References Node::DecodeTopicName(), Node::GetId(), and SingletonT< TopicManager >::Instance().

SubscriberPtr Subscribe	(	const std::string &	_topic,
		void(*)(const boost::shared_ptr< M const > &)	_fp,
		bool	_latching = `false`
	)

inline

Subscribe to a topic using a bare function as the callback.

Parameters

[in]	_topic	The topic to subscribe to
[in]	_fp	Function to be called on receipt of new message
[in]	_latching	If true, latch latest incoming message; otherwise don't latch

Returns: Pointer to new Subscriber object

References Node::DecodeTopicName(), Node::GetId(), and SingletonT< TopicManager >::Instance().

SubscriberPtr Subscribe	(	const std::string &	_topic,
		void(T::*)(const std::string &)	_fp,
		T *	_obj,
		bool	_latching = `false`
	)

inline

Subscribe to a topic using a class method as the callback.

Parameters

[in]	_topic	The topic to subscribe to
[in]	_fp	Class method to be called on receipt of new message
[in]	_obj	Class instance to be used on receipt of new message
[in]	_latching	If true, latch latest incoming message; otherwise don't latch

Returns: Pointer to new Subscriber object

References Node::DecodeTopicName(), Node::GetId(), SubscribeOptions::Init(), and SingletonT< TopicManager >::Instance().

SubscriberPtr Subscribe	(	const std::string &	_topic,
		void(*)(const std::string &)	_fp,
		bool	_latching = `false`
	)

inline

Subscribe to a topic using a bare function as the callback.

Parameters

[in]	_topic	The topic to subscribe to
[in]	_fp	Function to be called on receipt of new message
[in]	_latching	If true, latch latest incoming message; otherwise don't latch

Returns: Pointer to new Subscriber object
