Detailed Description

This class implements the C++ side of the ConnectionRepository object.

In particular, it manages the connection to the server once it has been opened (but does not open it directly). It manages reading and writing datagrams on the connection and monitoring for unexpected disconnects as well as handling intentional disconnects.

Certain server messages, like field updates, are handled entirely within the C++ layer, while server messages that are not understood by the C++ layer are returned up to the Python layer for processing.

Member Function Documentation

◆ abandon_message_bundles()

void CConnectionRepository::abandon_message_bundles ( )

throw out any msgs that have been queued up for message bundles

Definition at line 515 of file cConnectionRepository.cxx.

◆ check_datagram()

bool CConnectionRepository::check_datagram ( )

Returns true if a new datagram is available, false otherwise.

If the return value is true, the new datagram may be retrieved via get_datagram(), or preferably, with get_datagram_iterator() and get_msg_type().

Definition at line 252 of file cConnectionRepository.cxx.

References get_verbose().

This only has meaning if set_collect_tcp() has been set to true.

Definition at line 539 of file cConnectionRepository.cxx.

◆ disconnect()

void CConnectionRepository::disconnect ( )

Closes the connection to the server.

Definition at line 601 of file cConnectionRepository.cxx.

Referenced by shutdown().

◆ flush()

bool CConnectionRepository::flush ( void  )

Sends the most recently queued data now.

This only has meaning if set_collect_tcp() has been set to true.

Definition at line 571 of file cConnectionRepository.cxx.

◆ get_msg_channel()

CHANNEL_TYPE CConnectionRepository::get_msg_channel ( int  offset = 0) const

◆ get_msg_type()

unsigned int CConnectionRepository::get_msg_type ( ) const
inline

Returns the security code associated with the current message, according to the datagram headers.

This information is not available to the client. INLINE unsigned char CConnectionRepository:: get_sec_code() const { return _sec_code; } Returns the type ID of the current message, according to the datagram headers.

Definition at line 214 of file cConnectionRepository.I.

Returns the current setting of the time_warning field.

Definition at line 337 of file cConnectionRepository.I.

◆ get_verbose()

bool CConnectionRepository::get_verbose ( ) const
inline

Returns the current setting of the verbose flag.

When true, this describes every message going back and forth on the wire.

Definition at line 319 of file cConnectionRepository.I.

Referenced by check_datagram(), send_datagram(), and start_message_bundle().

◆ get_want_message_bundling()

bool CConnectionRepository::get_want_message_bundling ( ) const

Definition at line 233 of file cConnectionRepository.I.

◆ is_connected()

bool CConnectionRepository::is_connected ( )

Returns true if the connection to the gameserver is established and still good, false if we are not connected.

A false value means either (a) we never successfully connected, (b) we explicitly called disconnect(), or (c) we were connected, but the connection was spontaneously lost.

Definition at line 343 of file cConnectionRepository.cxx.

◆ send_datagram()

bool CConnectionRepository::send_datagram ( const Datagram dg)

Queues the indicated datagram for sending to the server.

It may not get sent immediately if collect_tcp is in effect; call flush() to guarantee it is sent now.

Definition at line 389 of file cConnectionRepository.cxx.

References get_verbose().

◆ send_message_bundle()

void CConnectionRepository::send_message_bundle ( unsigned int  channel,

void CConnectionRepository::set_client_datagram ( bool  client_datagram)
inline

Sets the client_datagram flag.

If this is true, incoming datagrams are not expected to be prefixed with the server routing information like message sender, channel number, etc.; otherwise, these server fields are parsed and removed from each incoming datagram.

Definition at line 56 of file cConnectionRepository.I.

◆ set_handle_c_updates()

void CConnectionRepository::set_handle_c_updates ( bool  handle_c_updates)

◆ set_handle_datagrams_internally()

void CConnectionRepository::set_handle_datagrams_internally ( bool  handle_datagrams_internally)
inline

Sets the handle_datagrams_internally flag.

When true, certain message types can be handled by the C++ code in in this module. When false, all datagrams, regardless of message type, are passed up to Python for processing.

The CMU distributed-object implementation requires this to be set false.

Definition at line 77 of file cConnectionRepository.I.

◆ set_in_quiet_zone()

void CConnectionRepository::set_in_quiet_zone ( bool  flag)
inline

Enables/disables quiet zone mode.

Definition at line 282 of file cConnectionRepository.I.

◆ set_tcp_header_size()

void CConnectionRepository::set_tcp_header_size ( int  tcp_header_size)

Sets the header size of TCP packets.

At the present, legal values for this are 0, 2, or 4; this specifies the number of bytes to use encode the datagram length at the start of each TCP datagram. Sender and receiver must independently agree on this.

Definition at line 97 of file cConnectionRepository.cxx.

◆ set_time_warning()

void CConnectionRepository::set_time_warning ( float  time_warning)
inline

Directly sets the time_warning field.

When non zero, this describes every message going back and forth on the wire when the msg handling time is over it

Definition at line 329 of file cConnectionRepository.I.

◆ set_verbose()

void CConnectionRepository::set_verbose ( bool  verbose)
inline

Directly sets the verbose flag.

void CConnectionRepository::set_want_message_bundling ( bool  flag)
inline

Enable/disable outbound message bundling.

◆ shutdown()

void CConnectionRepository::shutdown ( )

May be called at application shutdown to ensure all threads are cleaned up.

Definition at line 632 of file cConnectionRepository.cxx.

References disconnect().

◆ start_message_bundle()

void CConnectionRepository::start_message_bundle ( )

Send a set of messages to the state server that will be processed atomically.

For instance, you can do a combined setLocation/setPos and prevent race conditions where clients briefly get the setLocation but not the setPos, because the state server hasn't processed the setPos yet

Definition at line 463 of file cConnectionRepository.cxx.

References get_verbose().

◆ toggle_verbose()

void CConnectionRepository::toggle_verbose ( )
inline

Toggles the current setting of the verbose flag.
