Public Functions

void onParticipantDiscovery(RTPSParticipant *participant, ParticipantDiscoveryInfo &&info)

This method is called when a new Participant is discovered, or a previously discovered participant changes its QOS or is removed.

Parameters

  • participant: Pointer to the Participant which discovered the remote participant.

  • info: Remote participant information. User can take ownership of the object.

void onReaderDiscovery(RTPSParticipant *participant, ReaderDiscoveryInfo &&info)

This method is called when a new Reader is discovered, or a previously discovered reader changes its QOS or is removed.

Parameters

  • participant: Pointer to the Participant which discovered the remote reader.

  • info: Remote reader information. User can take ownership of the object.

void onWriterDiscovery(RTPSParticipant *participant, WriterDiscoveryInfo &&info)

This method is called when a new Writer is discovered, or a previously discovered writer changes its QOS or is removed.

Parameters

  • participant: Pointer to the Participant which discovered the remote writer.

  • info: Remote writer information. User can take ownership of the object.

void on_type_discovery(RTPSParticipant *participant, const SampleIdentity &request_sample_id, const string_255 &topic, const types::TypeIdentifier *identifier, const types::TypeObject *object, types::DynamicType_ptr dyn_type)

This method is called when a participant discovers a new Type The ownership of all object belongs to the caller so if needs to be used after the method ends, a full copy should be perform (except for dyn_type due to its shared_ptr nature.

The field “topic” it is only available if the type was discovered using “Discovery-Time Data Typing”, in which case the field request_sample_id will contain INVALID_SAMPLE_IDENTITY. If the type was discovered using TypeLookup Service then “topic” will be empty, but will have the request_sample_id of the petition that caused the discovery. For example: fastrtps::types::TypeIdentifier new_type_id = *identifier;

void on_type_dependencies_reply(RTPSParticipant *participant, const SampleIdentity &request_sample_id, const types::TypeIdentifierWithSizeSeq &dependencies)

This method is called when the typelookup client received a reply to a getTypeDependencies request.

The user may want to retrieve these new types using the getTypes request and create a new DynamicType using the retrieved TypeObject.

void on_type_information_received(RTPSParticipant *participant, const string_255 &topic_name, const string_255 &type_name, const types::TypeInformation &type_information)

This method is called when a participant receives a TypeInformation while discovering another participant.
