Public Functions

inline CMsgPublisher()#

Default Constructor. Using this constructor, the object is not actually in a usable state. Before being able to send data, one has to call the Create() function, first.

inline CMsgPublisher(const std::string &topic_name_, const std::string &topic_type_, const std::string &topic_desc_ = "")#

Constructor, that automatically intializes the Publisher. This function will be deprecated with eCAL 5.13, please use one of other constructors instead.

Parameters

  • topic_name_ – Unique topic name.

  • topic_type_ – Type name.

  • topic_desc_ – Type description (optional for description checking).

inline CMsgPublisher(const std::string &topic_name_, const SDataTypeInformation &topic_info_)#

Constructor, that automatically intializes the Publisher. This should be the preferred constructor.

Parameters

  • topic_name_ – Unique topic name.

  • topic_info_ – Struct that contains information of the datatype (name, encoding, description) of the topic.

inline CMsgPublisher(const std::string &topic_name_)#

Constructor, that automatically intializes the Publisher. If no datatype information about the topic is available, this constructor can be used.

Parameters

topic_name_ – Unique topic name.

CMsgPublisher(const CMsgPublisher&) = delete#

Copy Constructor is not available.

CMsgPublisher &operator=(const CMsgPublisher&) = delete#

Copy Constructor is not available.

CMsgPublisher(CMsgPublisher&&) = default#

Move Constructor.

CMsgPublisher &operator=(CMsgPublisher&&) = default#

  • topic_type_ – Type name (optional for type checking).

  • topic_desc_ – Type description (optional for description checking).

Returns

True if it succeeds, false if it fails.

inline bool Create(const std::string &topic_name_, const SDataTypeInformation &topic_info_)#

Creates this object.

Parameters

Returns

True if it succeeds, false if it fails.

inline bool Destroy()#

inline size_t Send(const T &msg_, long long time_ = eCAL::CPublisher::DEFAULT_TIME_ARGUMENT)#

Send serialized message.

Parameters

Returns

Number of bytes sent.

inline size_t Send(const T &msg_, long long time_, long long acknowledge_timeout_ms_)#
