create_type_support()

static DynamicTypeSupport create_type_support ( DDS_DynamicType  type )

inlinestatic

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

delete_type_support()

static ReturnCode_t delete_type_support ( DynamicTypeSupport  type_support )

inlinestatic

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

get_type()

DynamicType get_type ( )

inline

Returns the DynamicType that is supported by this TypeSupport instance.

The application should not modify the returned DynamicType.

get_type_name()

string get_type_name ( )

inline

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.

get_typename()

override string get_typename ( )

inline

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.
