Detailed Description

This flavor of ConnectionReader will read from its sockets and retain only the single most recent datagram for inspection by client code.

It's useful particularly for reading telemetry-type data from UDP sockets where you don't care about getting every last socket, and in fact if the sockets are coming too fast you'd prefer to skip some of them.

This class will always create one thread for itself.

Member Function Documentation

bool ConnectionReader::add_connection ( Connection connection) [inherited]

Adds a new socket to the list of sockets the ConnectionReader will monitor.

A datagram that comes in on any of the monitored sockets will be reported. In the case of a ConnectionListener, this adds a new rendezvous socket; any activity on any of the monitored sockets will cause a connection to be accepted.

The return value is true if the connection was added, false if it was already there.

add_connection() is thread-safe, and may be called at will by any thread.

Definition at line 196 of file connectionReader.cxx.

Referenced by PStatServer::listen(), MayaToEggServer::poll(), and PStatReader::set_tcp_connection().

void ConnectionReader::clear_manager ( ) [protected, inherited]

This should normally only be called when the associated ConnectionManager destructs.

It resets the ConnectionManager pointer to NULL so we don't have a floating pointer. This makes the ConnectionReader invalid; presumably it also will be destructed momentarily.

Definition at line 471 of file connectionReader.cxx.

bool RecentConnectionReader::data_available ( )

Returns true if a datagram is available on the queue; call get_data() to extract the datagram.

Definition at line 54 of file recentConnectionReader.cxx.

void ConnectionReader::finish_socket ( SocketInfo sinfo) [protected, inherited]

To be called when a socket has been fully read and is ready for polling for additional data.

Definition at line 482 of file connectionReader.cxx.

Referenced by ConnectionListener::process_incoming_data().

void ConnectionReader::flush_read_connection ( Connection connection) [protected, virtual, inherited]

Attempts to read all the possible data from the indicated connection, which has just delivered a write error (and has therefore already been closed).

If the connection is not monitered by this reader, does nothing.

Definition at line 431 of file connectionReader.cxx.

References Socket_fdset::clear(), ConnectionReader::process_incoming_data(), and ConnectionReader::remove_connection().

bool RecentConnectionReader::get_data ( NetDatagram result)

If a previous call to data_available() returned true, this function will return the datagram that has become available.

The return value is true if a datagram was successfully returned, or false if there was, in fact, no datagram available. (This may happen if there are multiple threads accessing the RecentConnectionReader).

Definition at line 72 of file recentConnectionReader.cxx.

Referenced by get_data().

bool RecentConnectionReader::get_data ( Datagram result)

This flavor of RecentConnectionReader::get_data(), works like the other, except that it only fills a Datagram object, not a NetDatagram object.

This means that the Datagram cannot be queried for its source Connection and/or NetAddress, but it is useful in all other respects.

Definition at line 95 of file recentConnectionReader.cxx.

References get_data().

ConnectionManager * ConnectionReader::get_manager ( ) const [inherited]

Returns a pointer to the ConnectionManager object that serves this ConnectionReader.

Definition at line 330 of file connectionReader.cxx.

int ConnectionReader::get_num_threads ( ) const [inherited]

Returns the number of threads the ConnectionReader has been created with.

Definition at line 341 of file connectionReader.cxx.

bool ConnectionReader::get_raw_mode ( ) const [inherited]

Returns the current setting of the raw mode flag.

See set_raw_mode().

Definition at line 368 of file connectionReader.cxx.

int ConnectionReader::get_tcp_header_size ( ) const [inherited]

Returns the current setting of TCP header size.

See set_tcp_header_size().

Definition at line 393 of file connectionReader.cxx.

bool ConnectionReader::is_connection_ok ( Connection connection) [inherited]

Returns true if the indicated connection has been added to the ConnectionReader and is being monitored properly, false if it is not known, or if there was some error condition detected on the connection.

(If there was an error condition, normally the ConnectionManager would have been informed and closed the connection.)

Definition at line 258 of file connectionReader.cxx.

bool ConnectionReader::is_polling ( ) const [inline, inherited]

Returns true if the reader is a polling reader, i.e.

it has no threads.

Definition at line 23 of file connectionReader.I.

Referenced by DatagramGeneratorNet::get_datagram().

void ConnectionReader::poll ( ) [inherited]

Explicitly polls the available sockets to see if any of them have any noise.

This function does nothing unless this is a polling-type ConnectionReader, i.e. it was created with zero threads (and is_polling() will return true).

It is not necessary to call this explicitly for a QueuedConnectionReader.

Definition at line 292 of file connectionReader.cxx.

References TrueClock::get_global_ptr(), and ConnectionReader::process_incoming_data().

Referenced by QueuedConnectionReader::data_available(), DatagramGeneratorNet::get_datagram(), QueuedConnectionListener::new_connection_available(), PStatServer::poll(), and MayaToEggServer::poll().

bool ConnectionReader::process_incoming_data ( SocketInfo sinfo) [protected, virtual, inherited]

This is run within a thread when the call to select() indicates there is data available on a socket.

Returns true if the data is read successfully, false on failure (for instance, because the connection is closed).

Reimplemented in ConnectionListener.

Definition at line 500 of file connectionReader.cxx.

Referenced by ConnectionReader::flush_read_connection(), and ConnectionReader::poll().

void RecentConnectionReader::receive_datagram ( const NetDatagram datagram) [protected, virtual]

An internal function called by ConnectionReader() when a new datagram has become available.

The RecentConnectionReader simply queues it up for later retrieval by get_data().

Implements ConnectionReader.

Definition at line 113 of file recentConnectionReader.cxx.

References Datagram::get_length().

bool ConnectionReader::remove_connection ( Connection connection) [inherited]

Removes a socket from the list of sockets being monitored.

Returns true if the socket was correctly removed, false if it was not on the list in the first place.

remove_connection() is thread-safe, and may be called at will by any thread.

Definition at line 227 of file connectionReader.cxx.

Referenced by ConnectionReader::flush_read_connection().

void ConnectionReader::set_raw_mode ( bool  mode) [inherited]

Sets the ConnectionReader into raw mode (or turns off raw mode).

In raw mode, datagram headers are not expected; instead, all the data available on the pipe is treated as a single datagram.

This is similar to set_tcp_header_size(0), except that it also turns off headers for UDP packets.

Definition at line 357 of file connectionReader.cxx.

void ConnectionReader::set_tcp_header_size ( int  tcp_header_size) [inherited]

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 382 of file connectionReader.cxx.

void ConnectionReader::shutdown ( ) [inherited]

Terminates all threads cleanly.

Normally this is only called by the destructor, but it may be called explicitly before destruction.

Definition at line 405 of file connectionReader.cxx.
