Defines the methods for the ACE shared memeory wrapper I/O routines (e.g., send/recv). The shared memory transport uses ACE_SOCK_* class to implement the signaling mechanism so we can easily use the new mechanism with the Reactor pattern (which uses select under the hood.) ACE_MEM_Acceptor and ACE_MEM_Connector are used to establish connections. When a connection is established, ACE_MEM_Acceptor creates the MMAP file for data exchange and sends the location of the file (complete path name) to ACE_MEM_Connector thru the socket.

ACE_MEM_Stream at each side then contains a reference to the ACE_Mallo object using the same MMAP file. When sending information using methods provided in this class, ACE_MEM_IO requests a chunk of memory from the MALLOC_TYPE object, copy the data into the shared memory and send the memory offset (from the start of the ACE_Malloc) across the socket.

Detailed Description

Defines the methods for the ACE shared memeory wrapper I/O routines (e.g., send/recv). The shared memory transport uses ACE_SOCK_* class to implement the signaling mechanism so we can easily use the new mechanism with the Reactor pattern (which uses select under the hood.) ACE_MEM_Acceptor and ACE_MEM_Connector are used to establish connections. When a connection is established, ACE_MEM_Acceptor creates the MMAP file for data exchange and sends the location of the file (complete path name) to ACE_MEM_Connector thru the socket. ACE_MEM_Connector then reads the location of the file off the socket and opens up the same MMAP file. ACE_MEM_Stream at each side then contains a reference to the ACE_Mallo object using the same MMAP file. When sending information using methods provided in this class, ACE_MEM_IO requests a chunk of memory from the MALLOC_TYPE object, copy the data into the shared memory and send the memory offset (from the start of the ACE_Malloc) across the socket.

Member Function Documentation

void ACE_MEM_IO::dump ( void ) const

Dump the state of an object.

Reimplemented from ACE_SOCK.

Reimplemented in ACE_MEM_Stream.

ssize_t ACE_MEM_IO::fetch_recv_buf	(	int	flag,
		const ACE_Time_Value *	timeout
	)		`[inline, private]`

Return the local endpoint port number. Returns 0 if successful, else -1.

int ACE_MEM_IO::fini ( void )

Finalizing the MEM_IO object. This method doesn't invoke the <remove> method.

int ACE_MEM_IO::init	(	const ACE_TCHAR *	name,
		ACE_MEM_IO::Signal_Strategy	type = `ACE_MEM_IO::Reactive`,
		ACE_MEM_SAP::MALLOC_OPTIONS *	options = `0`
	)

Initialize the MEM_SAP object.

ssize_t ACE_MEM_IO::recv	(	void *	buf,
		size_t	n,
		int	flags
	)		`[inline]`

Recv an n byte buffer from the shm_malloc_ thru connected socket.

ssize_t ACE_MEM_IO::recv	(	void *	buf,
		size_t	n
	)		`[inline]`

Recv an n byte buffer from the shm_malloc_ thru connected socket.

ssize_t ACE_MEM_IO::recv	(	void *	buf,
		size_t	n,
		const ACE_Time_Value *	timeout
	)		`[inline]`

Wait up to timeout amount of time to receive up to n bytes into buf from <handle> (uses the <recv> call). If <recv> times out a -1 is returned with errno == ETIME. If it succeeds the number of bytes received is returned.

ssize_t ACE_MEM_IO::recv	(	void *	buf,
		size_t	n,
		int	flags,
		const ACE_Time_Value *	timeout
	)		`[inline]`

Wait up to timeout amount of time to receive up to n bytes into buf from <handle> (uses the <recv> call). If <recv> times out a -1 is returned with errno == ETIME. If it succeeds the number of bytes received is returned.

ssize_t ACE_MEM_IO::send	(	const void *	buf,
		size_t	n,
		int	flags
	)		`[inline]`

Send an n byte buffer to the other process using shm_malloc_ connected thru the socket.

ssize_t ACE_MEM_IO::send	(	const void *	buf,
		size_t	n
	)		`[inline]`

Send an n byte buffer to the other process using shm_malloc_ connected thru the socket.

ssize_t ACE_MEM_IO::send	(	const void *	buf,
		size_t	n,
		const ACE_Time_Value *	timeout
	)		`[inline]`

Wait to to timeout amount of time to send up to n bytes into buf from <handle> (uses the <send> call). If <send> times out a -1 is returned with errno == ETIME. If it succeeds the number of bytes sent is returned.

ssize_t ACE_MEM_IO::send	(	const void *	buf,
		size_t	n,
		int	flags,
		const ACE_Time_Value *	timeout
	)		`[inline]`

Wait to to timeout amount of time to send up to n bytes into buf from <handle> (uses the <send> call). If <send> times out a -1 is returned with errno == ETIME. If it succeeds the number of bytes sent is returned.

ssize_t ACE_MEM_IO::send	(	const ACE_Message_Block *	message_block,
		const ACE_Time_Value *	timeout
	)

Wait to to timeout amount of time to send the message_block. If <send> times out a -1 is returned with errno == ETIME. If it succeeds the number of bytes sent is returned.
