Public Members

SampleStateKind sample_state

indicates whether or not the corresponding data sample has already been read

ViewStateKind view_state

indicates whether the DataReader has already seen samples for the most-current generation of the related instance.

InstanceStateKind instance_state

indicates whether the instance is currently in existence or, if it has been disposed, the reason why it was disposed.

int32_t disposed_generation_count

number of times the instance had become alive after it was disposed

int32_t no_writers_generation_count

number of times the instance had become alive after it was disposed because no writers

int32_t sample_rank

number of samples related to the same instance that follow in the collection

int32_t generation_rank

the generation difference between the time the sample was received, and the time the most recent sample in the collection was received.

int32_t absolute_generation_rank

the generation difference between the time the sample was received, and the time the most recent sample was received. The most recent sample used for the calculation may or may not be in the returned collection

fastrtps::rtps::Time_t source_timestamp

time provided by the DataWriter when the sample was written

fastrtps::rtps::Time_t reception_timestamp

time provided by the DataReader when the sample was added to its history

InstanceHandle_t instance_handle

identifies locally the corresponding instance

InstanceHandle_t publication_handle

identifies locally the DataWriter that modified the instance

Is the same InstanceHandle_t that is returned by the operation get_matched_publications on the DataReader

bool valid_data

whether the DataSample contains data or is only used to communicate of a change in the instance

fastrtps::rtps::SampleIdentity sample_identity
