Detailed Description

template<class In, class Out>
class fkie_message_filters::Filter< In, Out >

Typed base class for filters.

All filters process some input and generate some output, possibly with different data types. This class provides the base class for all filter implementations, templated on the input and output data types.

Member Typedef Documentation

Input

using fkie_message_filters::Sink< Inputs >::Input = IO<Inputs...>

inherited

Grouped input types.

This type can be used to define sources with matching types.

Output

using fkie_message_filters::Source< Outputs >::Output = IO<Outputs...>

inherited

Grouped output types.

This type can be used to define sinks with matching types.

Member Function Documentation

connect_to_sink()

Connection fkie_message_filters::Source< Outputs >::connect_to_sink ( Sink< Outputs... > &  dst )

noexceptinherited

Connect this source to a sink.

Can be called multiple times to connect multiple sinks; in that case, the sinks receive data in the same order as they have been connected. This function does basically the same thing as Sink::connect_to_source(), only from the opposite point of view.

• dst the sink that is to be connected

Returns

a connection object that can be used to monitor or sever the created connection

Exceptions

Does not throw any exceptions.

connect_to_source()

Connection fkie_message_filters::Sink< Inputs >::connect_to_source ( Source< Inputs... > &  src )

noexceptinherited

Connect this sink to a source.

Can be called multiple times to connect multiple sources; in that case, the sink receives data from all connected sources. This function does basically the same thing as Source::connect_to_sink(), only from the opposite point of view.

• src the source that is to be connected

Returns

a connection object that can be used to monitor or sever the created connection

Exceptions

Does not throw any exceptions.

disconnect_from_all_sinks()

void fkie_message_filters::Source< Outputs >::disconnect_from_all_sinks ( )

noexceptinherited

Disconnect from all connected sinks.

Severs the connection to all sinks, turning the send() method into a no-op.

Exceptions

Does not throw any exceptions.

disconnect_from_all_sources()

void fkie_message_filters::Sink< Inputs >::disconnect_from_all_sources ( )

noexceptinherited

Disconnect from all connected sources.

Severs the connection to all sources. The receive() method will not be called any more.

Exceptions

Does not throw any exceptions.

receive()

virtual void fkie_message_filters::Sink< Inputs >::receive ( const Inputs &...  in )

protectedpure virtualinherited

Process incoming data.

Derived classes need to override this method to handle all data that is to be consumed by the sink.

Exceptions

Depends on the implementation.

reset()

virtual void fkie_message_filters::FilterBase::reset ( )

inlinevirtualnoexceptinherited

Reset filter state.

For stateful filters, this method resets the internal state as if the filter had just been created. Existing connections to sources and sinks are unaffected.

The default implementation does nothing.

Exceptions

Does not throw any exceptions.

Reimplemented in fkie_message_filters::Buffer< Inputs >, fkie_message_filters::Buffer< Inputs... >, fkie_message_filters::TfFilter< Inputs >, fkie_message_filters::TfFilter< Inputs... >, fkie_message_filters::Combiner< PolicyTmpl, IOs >, fkie_message_filters::Sequencer< Inputs >, and fkie_message_filters::Sequencer< Inputs... >.

send()

void fkie_message_filters::Source< Outputs >::send ( const Outputs &...  out )

protectedinherited

Pass data to all connected sinks.

• out data

Exceptions

Does not throw any exceptions, but will propagate uncaught exceptions from filter callbacks.
