Detailed Description

DDS_Topic is the basic description of data to be published or subscribed.

A topic is identified by a name and a type. A Topic is created by calling DDS_DomainParticipant_create_topic(). Prior to creating a Topic, the associated data type must be registered with the DomainParticipant via a call to the TypeSupport::register_type() function. [The register_type() function is auto-generated 'type-specific' code.]

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_Topic_enable ( DDS_Topic t )

A Topic is created either enabled or not based on the DDS_DomainParticipantQos setting entity_factory. When a Topic is not enabled, only the following sub-set of all Topic operations are legal:

operations to get and set QoS policies,
get_name(), get_type_name(), get_participant()
get_statuscondition(),
get_status_changes(),

Any other operation may return the DDS_NOT_ENABLED error. DDS_Topic_enable() may be called on an already enabled Topic [it will have no effect].

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_Topic_get_inconsistent_topic_status	(	DDS_Topic	t,
		DDS_InconsistentTopicStatus *	a_status
	)

As a side-effect, this routine will reset the total_count_change status field to zero.

DDS_TopicListener * DDS_Topic_get_listener ( DDS_Topic t )

Note: Because the infrastructure makes a copy of the listener provided in DDS_Topic_set_listener(), the returned structure pointer will not match the pointer originally provided. However, the function pointers within the structure will match. Also, the application should not free the data referenced by the returned pointer.

DDS_TopicListener_cd * DDS_Topic_get_listener_cd ( DDS_Topic t )

Note: Because the infrastructure holds a pointer to the listener provided in DDS_Topic_set_listener_cd(), the returned structure pointer will match the pointer originally provided. The application should not free the data referenced by the returned pointer.

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_Topic_get_qos	(	DDS_Topic	t,
		DDS_TopicQos *	qos
	)

This routine copies the Topic QoS properites into qos.

Note: The qos structure may contain sequences or strings that are populated with dynamic memory. The caller is responsible for freeing the dynamic memory of these items.
For example, the sequence 'qos->topic_data' may have dynamically allocated memory assigned. This can be released by a call to seq_clear(&qos->topic_data).

DDS_StatusMask DDS_Topic_get_status_changes ( DDS_Topic t )

If the Topic is not enabled, all statuses will be untriggered.

DDS_StatusCondition DDS_Topic_get_statuscondition ( DDS_Topic t )

The returned condition can be added to a DDS_WaitSet.

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_Topic_set_listener	(	DDS_Topic	t,
		DDS_TopicListener *	a_listener,
		DDS_StatusMask	mask
	)

Only one listener may be attached to a Topic at a time. A call to set_listener() will replace any current listener with a_listener.

a_listener can be NULL, which indicates a listener that does nothing.

The infrastructure will make an internal copy of the listener structure so that it need not be persisted by the application.

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_Topic_set_listener_cd	(	DDS_Topic	t,
		DDS_TopicListener_cd *	a_listener,
		DDS_StatusMask	mask,
		void *	callback_data
	)

Only one listener may be attached to a Topic at a time. A call to set_listener_cd() will replace any current listener with a_listener.

a_listener can be NULL, which indicates a listener that does nothing.

The infrastructure will not make an internal copy of the listener_cd structure which means that it must be persisted by the application.

DDS_ReturnCode_t DDS_Topic_set_qos	(	DDS_Topic	t,
		const DDS_TopicQos *	qos
	)

These QoS values affect the behavior of the DDS_Topic.
