Defined in:
lib/orogen/spec/operation.rb

Overview

Representation of a RTT operation. Instances of this object are usually created through TaskContext#operation. The generated code will expect the class implementation (user-visible part) to define one method, to serve the call, with almost the same name that the method itself.

For instance, the following definition

operation('MyMethod')

will require the user-visible part to define

[return value] myMethod([arguments]);

(note that the first character of the method name has been set to lowercase to generate the C++ method name)

The argument list of the C++ method (the first one) can be defined using Callable#argument. Its return type by using #returns. The default method signature is no return type (i.e. void) and no arguments.

The name of the C++ method can be changed #method_name.

For instance,

operation('MyMethod').
  argument('x', 'double', 'the target X value').
  argument('y', 'double', 'the target Y value').
  method_name('move').
  returns('double')

will require the user-visible part to define

double move(double x, double y);

#arg(*args, &block) ⇒ Object

# File 'lib/orogen/spec/operation.rb', line 139

def arg(*args, &block)
    argument(*args, &block)
end

#argument(name, qualified_type, doc = "") ⇒ Object

Defines the next argument of this operation. name is the argument name and type is either the type name as a string, or a Typelib::Type object. In both cases, the required type must be defined in the task context, either because it is part of its own typekit or because it has been imported by a Project#load_typekit call.

Note that RTT does not support having more than 4 arguments for an operation, and trying that will therefore raise an error

#find_interface_type(qualified_type) ⇒ Object

This version of find_interface_type returns both a Typelib::Type object and a normalized version for name. It does accept const and reference qualifiers in name.

#returns(type, doc = "") ⇒ Object

Sets the return type for this operation. type can either be the type name or a Typelib::Type object. In both cases, the required type must be defined in the underlying project, either because it is part of its own typekit or because it has been imported by a Project#load_typekit call.

#to_hHash

Converts this model into a representation that can be fed to e.g. a JSON dump, that is a hash with pure ruby key / values.

The generated hash has the following keys:

name: the operation name
returns: the operation return type. It is not present if the
  operation does not return anything
    type: the return type as marshalled with
      Typelib::Type#to_h
    doc: the return type documentation

arguments: the list of arguments as an array of
    name: the argument name
    type: the argument type as marshalled with
      Typelib::Type#to_h
    doc: the argument documentation

Returns:

  • (Hash)
