The token is released automatically when it leaves its scope or explicitly using releaseSendToken().

Returns: The send token.

CO_API ConnectionPtr co::LocalNode::addListener ( ConnectionDescriptionPtr desc )

Add a listening connection to this listening node.

Returns: the listening connection, or 0 upon error.

CO_API void co::LocalNode::addListener ( ConnectionPtr connection )

virtual CO_API bool co::LocalNode::close ( )

virtual

Close a listening node.

Disconnects all connected node proxies, closes the listening connections and terminates all threads created in listen().

Returns: true if the node was stopped, false otherwise.

Version: 1.0

Referenced by exitLocal().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

CO_API bool co::LocalNode::connect ( NodePtr node )

Connect a remote node (proxy) to this listening node.

The connection descriptions of the node are used to connect the remote local node. On success, the node is in the connected state, otherwise its state is unchanged.

This method is one-sided, that is, the node to be connected should not initiate a connection to this node at the same time. For concurrent connects use the other connect() method using node identifiers.

Parameters

node	the remote node.

Returns: true if this node was connected, false otherwise.

Version: 1.0

CO_API NodePtr co::LocalNode::connect ( const NodeID & nodeID )

Create and connect a node given by an identifier.

This method is two-sided and thread-safe, that is, it can be called by multiple threads on the same node with the same nodeID, or concurrently on two nodes with each others' nodeID.

Parameters

nodeID the identifier of the node to connect.

Returns: the connected node, or an invalid RefPtr if the node could not be connected.

Version: 1.0

CO_API NodePtr co::LocalNode::connectObjectMaster ( const uint128_t & id )

Find and connect the node where the given object is registered.

This method is relatively expensive, since potentially all connected nodes are queried.

Parameters

id	the identifier of the object to search for.

Returns: the connected node, or an invalid RefPtr if the node could not be found or connected.

See also: registerObject(), connect()

Version: 1.1.1

virtual CO_API NodePtr co::LocalNode::createNode ( const uint32_t type )

protectedvirtual

Factory method to create a new node.

Parameters

type	the type the node type

Returns: the node.

Version: 1.0

CO_API void co::LocalNode::deregisterObject ( Object * object )

overridevirtual

Deregister a distributed object.

All slave instances should be unmapped before this call, and will be forcefully unmapped by this method.

Parameters

object the object instance.

Version: 1.0

Implements co::ObjectHandler.

CO_API void co::LocalNode::disableInstanceCache ( )

Disable the instance cache of a stopped local node.

Version: 1.0

CO_API void co::LocalNode::disableSendOnRegister ( )

Parameters

node	the remote node.

Returns: true if the node was disconnected correctly, false otherwise.

Version: 1.0

CO_API bool co::LocalNode::dispatchCommand ( ICommand & command )

overridevirtual

Dispatches a command to the registered command queue.

Applications using custom command types have to override this method to dispatch the custom commands.

Parameters

command the command.

Returns: the result of the operation.

See also: ICommand::invoke

Version: 1.0

Reimplemented from co::Dispatcher.

CO_API void co::LocalNode::enableSendOnRegister ( )

Enable sending instance data after registration.

Send-on-register starts transmitting instance data of registered objects directly after they have been registered. The data is cached on remote nodes and accelerates object mapping. Send-on-register should not be active when remote nodes are joining a multicast group of this node, since they will potentially read out-of-order data streams on the multicast connection.

Enable and disable are counted, that is, the last enable on a matched series of disable/enable will be effective. The disable is completely synchronous, that is, no more instance data will be sent after the first disable.

Version: 1.0

		char **	argv
	)

virtual

Initialize the node.

Parses the following command line options and calls listen() afterwards:

The '–co-listen <connection description>' command line option is parsed by this method to add listening connections to this node. This parameter might be used multiple times. ConnectionDescription::fromString() is used to parse the provided description.

The '–co-globals <string>' option is used to initialize the Globals. The string is parsed used Globals::fromString().

Please note that further command line parameters are recognized by co::init().

argc	the command line argument count.
argv	the command line argument values.

Returns: true if the client was successfully initialized, false otherwise.

Version: 1.0

virtual CO_API bool co::LocalNode::listen ( )

virtual

Version: 1.0

CO_API f_bool_t co::LocalNode::mapObject	(	Object *	object,
		const uint128_t &	id,
		NodePtr	master,
		const uint128_t &	version = `VERSION_OLDEST`
	)

Map a distributed object.

The mapped object becomes a slave instance of the master version which was registered with the provided identifier. The given version can be used to map a specific version.

If VERSION_NONE is provided, the slave instance is not initialized with any data from the master. This is useful if the object has been pre-initialized by other means, for example from a shared file system.

If VERSION_OLDEST is provided, the oldest available version is mapped.

If a concrete requested version no longer exists, mapObject() will map the oldest available version.

If the requested version is newer than the head version, mapObject() will block until the requested version is available.

Mapping an object is a potentially time-consuming operation. Using mapObjectNB() and mapObjectSync() to asynchronously map multiple objects in parallel improves performance of this operation.

After mapping, the object will have the version used during initialization, or VERSION_NONE if mapped to this version.

When no master node is given, connectObjectMaster() is used to find the node with the master instance.

This method returns immediately after initiating the mapping. Evaluating the value of the returned lunchbox::Future will block on the completion of the operation and return true if the object was mapped, false if the master of the object is not found or the requested version is no longer available.

Parameters

object	the object.
id	the master object identifier.
master	the node with the master instance, may be 0.
version	the initial version.

Returns: A lunchbox::Future which will deliver the success status of the operation on evaluation.

virtual

Handler for an Object::push() operation.

Called at least on each node listed in an Object::push() operation upon reception of the pushed data from the command thread. Called on all nodes of a multicast group, even for nodes not listed in the Object::push().

The default implementation calls registered push handlers. Typically used to create an object on a remote node, using the objectType for instantiation, the istream to initialize it, and the objectID to map it using VERSION_NONE. The groupID may be used to differentiate multiple concurrent push operations.

Parameters

groupID	The group identifier given to Object::push()
objectType	The type identifier given to Object::push()
objectID	The identifier of the pushed object
istream	the input data stream containing the instance data.

CO_API bool co::LocalNode::registerCommandHandler	(	const uint128_t &	command,
		const CommandHandler &	func,
		CommandQueue *	queue
	)

Register a custom command handler handled by this node.

Custom command handlers are invoked on reception of a CustomICommand send by Node::send( uint128_t, ... ). The command identifier needs to be unique. It is recommended to use servus::make_uint128() to generate this identifier.

Parameters

command	the unique identifier of the custom command

	)

overridevirtual

Synchronize the local object with a remote object.

The object is synchronized to the newest version of the first attached object on the given master node matching the instanceID. When no master node is given, connectObjectMaster() is used to find the node with the master instance. When CO_INSTANCE_ALL is given, the first instance is used. Before a successful return, applyInstanceData() is called on the calling thread to synchronize the given object.

Parameters

object	The local object instance to synchronize.
master	The node where the synchronizing object is attached.
id	the object identifier.
instanceID	the instance identifier of the synchronizing object.

Returns: A lunchbox::Future which will deliver the success status of the operation on evaluation.
