Detailed Description

The 'logical and' filter.

This filter has a set of children (fixed at creation time), only if all the children accept an event it does so too.

Memory Management

It assumes ownership of the children.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

TAO_EC_And_Filter::TAO_EC_And_Filter	(	TAO_EC_Filter *	children[],
		size_t	n
	)

Constructor. It assumes ownership of both the array and the children.

TAO_EC_And_Filter::~TAO_EC_And_Filter ( void ) [virtual]

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

int TAO_EC_And_Filter::add_dependencies	(	const RtecEventComm::EventHeader &	header,
		const TAO_EC_QOS_Info &	qos_info
	)		`[virtual]`

This is used for computing the scheduling dependencies:

Leaf filters check if the header could be matched, similar to the can_match() method; if it does they return 1, and 0 otherwise. Intermediate nodes always return 0.

This is used to build precise dependencies between the suppliers and the leaf of the filters that accept that event. Notice that only the nodes doing scheduling recurse through the list, so in configurations that do no require scheduling the recursion stops fairly soon.

TAO_EC_Filter::ChildrenIterator TAO_EC_And_Filter::begin ( void ) const [virtual]

STL-like iterators Filters follow the Composite pattern. All filters expose the same interface as if they all had children, but for simple filters the iterators return an empty range.

Reimplemented from TAO_EC_Filter.

int TAO_EC_And_Filter::can_match ( const RtecEventComm::EventHeader & header ) const [virtual]

Returns 0 if an event with that header could never be accepted. This can used by the suppliers to filter out consumers that couldn't possibly be interested in their events. The rt_info and

void TAO_EC_And_Filter::clear ( void ) [virtual]

Clear any saved state, must reset and assume no events have been received.

Implements TAO_EC_Filter.

TAO_EC_Filter::ChildrenIterator TAO_EC_And_Filter::end ( void ) const [virtual]

Reimplemented from TAO_EC_Filter.

int TAO_EC_And_Filter::filter	(	const RtecEventComm::EventSet &	event,
		TAO_EC_QOS_Info &	qos_info
	)		`[virtual]`

Filter this event, returns 1 if the event is accepted, 0 otherwise. Notice that there are two versions of the method, if the event is not const then filter can take ownership of the event.

Attention:: There seems to be a disparity in interfaces: Supplier always push event sets of size 1 to the EC_ProxyPushSupplier, and EC_Filters do not implement handling of sets of more than 1 event. Then, why is this not enforced by the interface by having EC_ProxyPushSupplier take an event rather than a set?

Implements TAO_EC_Filter.

int TAO_EC_And_Filter::filter_nocopy	(	RtecEventComm::EventSet &	event,
		TAO_EC_QOS_Info &	qos_info
	)		`[virtual]`

Implements TAO_EC_Filter.

CORBA::ULong TAO_EC_And_Filter::max_event_size ( void ) const [virtual]

Returns the maximum size of the events pushed by this filter.

Implements TAO_EC_Filter.

TAO_EC_And_Filter& TAO_EC_And_Filter::operator= ( const TAO_EC_And_Filter & ) [private]

void TAO_EC_And_Filter::push	(	const RtecEventComm::EventSet &	event,
		TAO_EC_QOS_Info &	qos_info
	)		`[virtual]`

This is called by the children when they accept an event and which to pass it up. Notice that there are two versions of the method, if the event is not const then filter can take ownership of the event.

Implements TAO_EC_Filter.
