Member Function Documentation

◆ Barrier() [1/2]

void chrono::synchrono::SynDDSCommunicator::Barrier ( )

overridevirtual

This function is responsible for blocking until an action is received or done.

For example, a process may call Barrier to wait until another process has established certain classes and initialized certain quantities. This functionality should be implemented in this function.

Implements chrono::synchrono::SynCommunicator.

◆ Barrier() [2/2]

void chrono::synchrono::SynDDSCommunicator::Barrier ( unsigned int num_participants )

This function is responsible for blocking until the passed number of participants has been matched.

Parameters

num_participants number of participants to block until matched

◆ CreatePublisher() [1/2]

std::shared_ptr< SynDDSPublisher > chrono::synchrono::SynDDSCommunicator::CreatePublisher	(	const std::string &	topic_name,
		eprosima::fastdds::dds::TopicDataType *	data_type,
		bool	is_managed = `false`
	)

Create a Publisher Returns a publisher handle to be used to publish information Takes a string and TopicDataType and creates a topic (see CreateTopic)

Parameters

topic_name	The name associated with the topic
data_type	The topic data type
is_managed	Whether the SynDDSCommunicator is responsible for using the sending/receiving function calls

◆ CreatePublisher() [2/2]

std::shared_ptr< SynDDSPublisher > chrono::synchrono::SynDDSCommunicator::CreatePublisher	(	std::shared_ptr< SynDDSTopic >	topic,
		bool	is_managed = `false`,
		eprosima::fastdds::dds::DataWriterQos *	write_qos = `nullptr`
	)

Create a Publisher Returns a publisher handle to be used to publish information Takes a SynDDSTopic object (see CreateTopic)

Parameters

topic	Topic object describing the DDS topic
is_managed	Whether the SynDDSCommunicator is responsible for using the sending/receiving function calls
read_qos	Data Writer Quality of Service. Falls back to default if nullptr

◆ CreateSubscriber() [1/2]

std::shared_ptr< SynDDSSubscriber > chrono::synchrono::SynDDSCommunicator::CreateSubscriber	(	const std::string &	topic_name,
		eprosima::fastdds::dds::TopicDataType *	data_type,
		std::function< void(void *)>	callback,
		void *	message,
		bool	is_synchronous = `true`,
		bool	is_managed = `false`
	)

Create a subscription to the specified topic Will call the callback when a subscription is received Takes a string and TopicDataType and creates a topic (see CreateTopic)

Parameters

topic_name	The name associated with the topic
data_type	The topic data type
callback	The callback called when data is received
message	The message that is used to parse the returned message
is_synchronous	Whether the subscriber synchronously receives data (default: true)
is_managed	Whether the SynDDSCommunicator is responsible for using the sending/receiving function calls

◆ CreateSubscriber() [2/2]

std::shared_ptr<SynDDSSubscriber> chrono::synchrono::SynDDSCommunicator::CreateSubscriber	(	std::shared_ptr< SynDDSTopic >	topic,
		std::function< void(void *)>	callback,
		void *	message,
		bool	is_synchronous = `true`,
		bool	is_managed = `false`,
		eprosima::fastdds::dds::DataReaderQos *	read_qos = `nullptr`
	)

Create a subscription to the specified topic Will call the callback when a subscription is received Takes a SynDDSTopic object (see CreateTopic)

Parameters

topic	Topic object describing the DDS topic
callback	The callback called when data is received
message	The message that is used to parse the returned message
is_synchronous	Whether the subscriber synchronously receives data (default: true)
is_managed	Whether the SynDDSCommunicator is responsible for using the sending/receiving function calls
read_qos	Data Reader Quality of Service. Falls back to default if nullptr

◆ CreateTopic() [1/2]

std::shared_ptr< SynDDSTopic > chrono::synchrono::SynDDSCommunicator::CreateTopic	(	const std::string &	topic_name,
		eprosima::fastdds::dds::TopicDataType *	data_type
	)

Create a topic using the communicator's prefix The topic will be registered with the participant, if desired.

Parameters

topic_name	The name associated with the topic
data_type	The topic data type

◆ CreateTopic() [2/2]

std::shared_ptr< SynDDSTopic > chrono::synchrono::SynDDSCommunicator::CreateTopic	(	const std::string &	topic_name,
		eprosima::fastdds::dds::TopicDataType *	data_type,
		const std::string &	topic_prefix
	)

Create a topic The topic will be registered with the participant, if desired.

The SynDDSCommunicator maintains a list of topics instantiated in the simulation. A topic can only by constructed through this function or indirectly through the CreateSubscriber/CreatePublisher functions

Parameters

topic_name	The name associated with the topic
data_type	The topic data type
topic_prefix	The prefix to use

◆ GetMatchedParticipantNames()

std::vector< std::string > chrono::synchrono::SynDDSCommunicator::GetMatchedParticipantNames ( )

Get the matched participant's names A matched participant is defined as a DDSParticipant Entity that has matched with the participant created on this node.

◆ Initialize()

void chrono::synchrono::SynDDSCommunicator::Initialize ( )

overridevirtual

Initialization function typically responsible for establishing a connection.

Although not mandatory, this function should handle initial peer-to-peer communication. This could mean a simple handshake or an actual exchange of information used during the simulation.

Reimplemented from chrono::synchrono::SynCommunicator.

◆ Synchronize()

void chrono::synchrono::SynDDSCommunicator::Synchronize ( )

overridevirtual

This function is responsible for continuous synchronization steps This function, depending on it's implementation, could be blocking or non-blocking.

As in, depending on the derived class implementation, this function could use synchronous or asynchronous function calls to implement a communication interface.

Synchronize will serialize the underlying message buffer if it hasn't yet

Implements chrono::synchrono::SynCommunicator.
