An enum describing read errors.
| xentara::data::ReadHandle::ReadHandle | ( | ) |
Default constructor.
This constructor creates a null handle that is not associated with any value. Reading the handle will always return make_error_code(Error::NullHandle).
| xentara::data::ReadHandle::ReadHandle | ( | Error | error | ) |
Constructor for an error handle that always returns a read error.
This constructor creates a handle that always returns a certain error when reading. Reading the handle will always return make_error_code(error).
| error | The error the handle should return when attempting to read from it. |
| xentara::data::ReadHandle::ReadHandle | ( | std::error_code | error | ) |
Constructor for an error handle that returns an arbitrary std::error_code.
This constructor creates a handle that always returns a certain error when reading. Reading the handle will always return the given error.
| error | The error code the handle should return when attempting to read from it. |
| xentara::data::ReadHandle::ReadHandle | ( | const memory::MemoryHandle< Structure > & | memoryHandle | ) |
Constructor using a memory handle.
| memoryHandle | A handle to the memory containing the value. Must not be a raw memory handle. |
| xentara::data::ReadHandle::ReadHandle | ( | memory::MemoryHandle< Structure > && | memoryHandle | ) |
Constructor that moves a memory handle.
| memoryHandle | A handle to the memory containing the value. Must not be a raw memory handle. |
| xentara::data::ReadHandle::ReadHandle | ( | const std::shared_ptr< Type > & | value | ) |
Constructor for a handle that reads a non-dynamic value, like a configuration parameter.
This constructor creates a handle that gets its value directly from a variable. The value must be static, meaning it must never change while the read handle or any copy of it exists. This constructor is usually only used to expose configuration parameters as attributes.
This function only stores a weak pointer to the value. If the weak pointer has expired (lock() returns nullptr) when the value is read, then read() will return Error::Defunct.
| value | A pointer to the value. You can use the aliasing constructor (8) of std::shared_ptr or skill::EnableSharedFromThis::sharedFromThis<Alias>() to create a shared pointer to a member variable from a shared pointer to the enclosing object. |
| xentara::data::ReadHandle::ReadHandle | ( | const std::weak_ptr< Type > & | value | ) |
Constructor for a handle that reads a non-dynamic value, like a configuration parameter.
This constructor creates a handle that gets its value directly from a variable. The value must be static, meaning it must never change while the read handle or any copy of it exists. This constructor is usually only used to expose configuration parameters as attributes.

| value | A pointer to the value. You can use the aliasing constructor (8) of std::shared_ptr or skill::EnableSharedFromThis::sharedFromThis<Alias>() to create a shared pointer to a member variable from a shared pointer to the enclosing object. |
| xentara::data::ReadHandle::ReadHandle | ( | FixedValue< Type > | value | ) |
Constructor for a handle that always returns a fixed value.
This constructor creates a handle that always returns the same fixed value. You can use this constructor to construct a value that always returns true for the state of a device that cannot be offline, or that always returns Quality::Good for a skill data point whose value is always available, for example.
| Type | The type of the value to store. The type must meet the following criteria:
The value should also be small and inexpensive to copy and move. |
| value | The value, wrapped in the helper class FixedValue. The value will be copied or moved into the read handle, so it should not be an object that is very large or that is expensive to copy or move. For large or expensive objects, It is preferrable to store a reference or a reference-like object (like std::string_view or std::span) in the read handle. To store a reference, use the [constructor that takes an std::reference_wrapper as a parameter](ReadHandle(std::reference_wrapper<const Type>). |
| xentara::data::ReadHandle::ReadHandle | ( | std::reference_wrapper< Type > | value | ) |
Constructor for a handle that always returns a fixed value referenced by a reference.
This constructor creates a handle that always returns the same fixed value. The value must be constant, meaning it must remain valid and must not change as long as the read handle or any copy of it exists. This constructor is usually used instead of the [fixed value constructor](ReadHandle(FixedValue<Type>)) for large or expensive values, or for values that do not meet the criteria listed in the documentation of FixedValue.
| value | A reference to the value. You should use std::cref to create the reference, to allow the compiler to select the correct constructor. The value must remain valid and constant as long as the read handle or any copy of it exists. |
| auto xentara::data::ReadHandle::addChangeHandler | ( | std::reference_wrapper< process::EventHandler > | handler | ) | const -> void |
Adds a change event handler.
| handler | The handler |
| std::runtime_error | This type of handle does not support change events |
|
noexcept |
Gets the number of bits that a numeric handle supports.
This function can be used to determine how many bits a handle supports. The meaning of the bit size depends on the native type:
|
static |
Gets the error category for error codes of type [Error].
| auto xentara::data::ReadHandle::hardError | ( | ) | const -> std::error_code |
Gets the error of an error handle.
This function returns the error code of an error handle created using ReadHandle(Error error) or ReadHandle(const std::error_code &error). An error handle will always return the given error when calling read(), and will never return a valid value.
Soft errors, meaning errors that might go away at some point, can only be gotten using read().
|
noexcept |
Checks whether this handle supports change events.
This function checks whether the handle can automatically generate a change event if the valkue changes. Some handles to custom types cannot generate change events, e.g. if the objects contained in the handles are not equality comparable. Also, bit field handles for bit fields that do not fit into an std::uintmax_t do not support change events.
Handles that can never change, like [error handles](hardError()), support change events, but such events are never raised. A change event is only not supported if a change can happen, but it cannot be detected automatically.
|
noexcept |
Gets the native type of the handle.
This function can be used to determine what is the best type is to use as a template parameter for the read() function. You can use this function if you want to treat certain data types separately, and not rely on the built-in conversions. For example, you can use this function if you want to normally read the value as a string, but handle numbers and Booleans differently.
| auto xentara::data::ReadHandle::operator== | ( | const std::error_code & | error | ) | const -> bool |
Checks whether the handle is an error handle that returns a certain error.
This operator checks whether the handle is an error handle created using ReadHandle(const std::error_code &error) or ReadHandle(Error error). An error handle will always return the given error when calling read(), and will never return a valid value.
Soft errors, meaning errors that might go away at some point, can only be gotten using read().
| auto xentara::data::ReadHandle::operator== | ( | Error | error | ) | const -> bool |
Checks whether the handle is an error handle that returns a certain error.
This operator checks whether the handle is an error handle created using ReadHandle(Error error) or ReadHandle(const std::error_code &error). An error handle will always return the given error when calling read(), and will never return a valid value.
Soft errors, meaning errors that might go away at some point, can only be gotten using read().
| template auto xentara::data::ReadHandle::read< Quality > | ( | ) | const -> utils::eh::expected< Type, std::error_code > |
Reads the current value.
The read value will be converted to the type specified by the Type template parameter, if possible. If the value cannot be converted, the function will return Error::TypeMismatch.
You can use std::any as template parameter to retrieve the value without knowing the type beforehand. The returned object will then contain the value wrapped in an std::any object. To reduce the number of possible types the std::any object can contain, the value is first converted to the canonical read type for its native type. The canonical types for the individual NativeType enumeration values are listed in their respective documentation. You can also use NativeTypeToCppType<nativeType, TypeUsage::Get> to programmatically determine the correct type. Values with native type NativeType::Custom are not converted, but are stored in the std::any object as is.
| Type | The type that the value should be converted to, or std::any to return the value as a type-erased std::any object. Type must not be a reference, and must not be CV-qualified. Also, specializations of std::basic_string_view are not allowed, because that would create a reference to internal string data, which may no longer be valid after the function returns. |
| auto xentara::data::ReadHandle::removeChangeHandler | ( | std::reference_wrapper< process::EventHandler > | handler | ) | const -> void |
Removes a change event handler.
| handler | The handler. If the handler is not attached to the change event, this function does nothing. |
| std::runtime_error | This type of handle does not support change events |
|
noexcept |
Gets the precise type ID of the internal type used by the handle.
This function can be used to check what the exact internal type used by the handle is. Wjile this function will work for any type of handle, generally it should only be used for handles with [native type](nativeType()] NativeType::Custom. For other types, the results may be misleading. Checking whether a handle contains a 32-bit signed integral type by checking whether this function returns typeid(std::uint32_t), for example, will not work, because there may be multiple distinct 32-bit unsigned integer types. Under Windows, for example, both unsigned int and unsigned long are 32 bit unsigned integers, but they have different type IDs. Under 64-bit Linux, the same goes for unsigned long and unsigned long long, which are both 64-bit unsigned integer types.
