mrpt::utils::CMessage Class Reference

Detailed Description

A class that contain generic messages, that can be sent and received from a "CClientTCPSocket" object.

A message consists of a "header" (or type), and a "body" (or content). Apart from arbitrary data, specific methods are provided for easing the serialization of MRPT's "CSerializable" objects. This class is also used for passing data to hardware interfaces (see mrpt::hwdrivers::CSerialPort)

◆ deserializeIntoExistingObject()

void CMessage::deserializeIntoExistingObject ( CSerializable obj)

A method that parse the data in the message into an existing object.

Note that the class of the object must be known and must match the one of the serialized object. std::exception On corrupt data, unknown serialized objects, unknown serialized object version, non-matching classes,...

Definition at line 44 of file CMRPTMessage.cpp.

References content, MRPT_END, MRPT_START, and mrpt::utils::CStream::WriteBuffer().

◆ deserializeIntoNewObject()

void CMessage::deserializeIntoNewObject ( CSerializablePtr &  obj)

A method that parse the data in the message into a new object of (a priori) unknown class.

The pointer will contain on return a copy of the reconstructed object. Deleting this object when no longer required is the responsability of the user. Note that previous contents of the pointer will be ignored (it should be NULL). std::exception On corrupt data, unknown serialized objects, unknown serialized object version,...

Definition at line 62 of file CMRPTMessage.cpp.

References content, MRPT_END, MRPT_START, and mrpt::utils::CStream::WriteBuffer().

◆ getContentAsPointer()

void * CMessage::getContentAsPointer ( ) const

Gets the contents of the message as a "void*" (the pointer itself is the message) - This is intended for inter-thread comms only.

setContentFromPointer

Definition at line 115 of file CMRPTMessage.cpp.

References ASSERT_, content, MRPT_END, and MRPT_START.

◆ getContentAsString()

void CMessage::getContentAsString ( std::string str)

◆ getContentAsStruct()

template<class T >
void mrpt::utils::CMessage::getContentAsStruct ( T &  data) const
inline

Gets the contents of the message as an arbitary structure - This is intended for inter-thread comms only, the message will be not cross-platform.

See also
setContentFromStruct

Definition at line 90 of file CMessage.h.

References ASSERT_, MRPT_END, and MRPT_START.

◆ serializeObject()

void CMessage::serializeObject ( CSerializable obj)

A method for serializing a MRPT's object into the content.

Any modification to data in "content" after this will corrupt the object serialization. Member "type" is unmodified in this method.

Definition at line 23 of file CMRPTMessage.cpp.

References content, mrpt::system::os::memcpy(), MRPT_END, MRPT_START, and mrpt::utils::CStream::WriteObject().

◆ setContentFromPointer()

void CMessage::setContentFromPointer ( void ptr)

Sets the contents of the message from a "void*" (the pointer itself becomes the message) - This is intended for inter-thread comms only.

◆ setContentFromString()

void CMessage::setContentFromString ( const std::string str)

Sets the contents of the message from a string.

◆ setContentFromStruct()

template<class T >
void mrpt::utils::CMessage::setContentFromStruct ( const T &  data)
inline

Sets the contents of the message from an arbitary structure - This is intended for inter-thread comms only, the message will be not cross-platform.
