Detailed Description🔗

template <typename channel_t ,
typename gateway_t  =GatewayBase>
class iox::gw::GatewayGeneric;

A reference generic gateway implementation.

This class can be extended to quickly implement any type of gateway, only custom initialization, configuration, discovery and forwarding logic needs to be provided.

When run, the gateway will automatically call the respective methods when required.

)

function addChannel🔗

template <typename IceoryxPubSubOptions >
cxx::expected< channel_t, GatewayError > addChannel(
    const capro::ServiceDescription & service,
    const IceoryxPubSubOptions & options
)

addChannel Creates a channel for the given service and stores a copy of it in an internal collection for later access.

Parameters:

service The service to create a channel for.
options The PublisherOptions or SubscriberOptions with historyCapacity and queueCapacity.

Return: an expected containing a copy of the added channel, otherwise an error

Note:

Wildcard services are not allowed and will be ignored.
Channels are supposed to be lightweight, consisting only of pointers to the terminals and a copy of the service description, therefore a copy is provided to any entity that requires them. When no more copies of a channel exists in the system, the terminals will automatically be cleaned up via the custom deleters included in their pointers.

The service description is perhaps too large for copying since they contain strings, however this should be addressed with a service description repository feature.

function findChannel🔗

cxx::optional< channel_t > findChannel(
    const capro::ServiceDescription & service
) const

findChannel Searches for a channel for the given service in the internally stored collection and returns it one exists.

Parameters:

service The service to find a channel for.

Return: An optional containining the matching channel if one exists, otherwise an empty optional.

function forEachChannel🔗

void forEachChannel(
    const cxx::function_ref< void(channel_t &)> f
) const

forEachChannel Executs the given function for each channel in the internally stored collection.

Parameters:

f The function to execute.

Note: This operation allows thread-safe access to the internal collection.

function discardChannel🔗

cxx::expected< GatewayError > discardChannel(
    const capro::ServiceDescription & service
)

discardChannel Discard the channel for the given service in the internal collection if one exists.

Parameters:

service The service whose channels hiould be discarded.

Return: an empty expected on success, otherwise an error
