Member Function Documentation

static DynamicTypeSupport* DDS::DynamicTypeSupport::create_type_support ( DynamicType *  type )

static

Create and return a new DynamicTypeSupport object capable of supporting the given type.

The new type support has a "copy" of the given 'type' parameter, such that subsequent changes to, or deletions of, the 'type' parameter do not impact the new type support.

Any object returned by this operation should eventually be deleted by calling DynamicTypeSupport::delete_type_support.

Parameter type - The type for which to create a type support.

Return values

nil	If an error occurs, or the parameter is invalid

static ReturnCode_t DDS::DynamicTypeSupport::delete_type_support ( DynamicTypeSupport *  type_support )

static

Delete the given type support object, which was previously created by a call to DynamicTypeSupport::create_type_support.

Return values

DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER	invalid parameter
DDS_RETCODE_OK	on success

virtual DynamicType* DDS::DynamicTypeSupport::get_type ( )

pure virtual

Returns the DynamicType that is supported by this TypeSupport instance.

The application should not modify the returned DynamicType.

virtual const char* DDS::DynamicTypeSupport::get_type_name ( )

pure virtual

Returns the name of the type supported by this TypeSupport instance.

The returned string is owned by the TypeSupport, and must not be free'd or modified.
