Subclassed by karabo::core::Device<>, karabo::core::Device< FSM >

Public Functions

virtual void finalizeInternalInitialization(const karabo::net::Broker::Pointer &connection, bool consumeBroadcasts, const std::string &timeServerId) = 0¶

This method is called to finalize initialization of a device. It is needed to allow user code to hook in after the base device constructor, but before the device is fully initialized.

It will typically be called by the DeviceServer. The call is blocking and afterwards communication should happen only via slot calls.

Parameters

connection: The broker connection for the device.
consumeBroadcasts: If true, listen directly to broadcast messages (addressed to ‘*’), as usually expected. Whoever sets this to false has to ensure that broadcast messages reach the Device in some other way, otherwise the device will not work correctly.
timeServerId: The id of the time server to be used by the device - usually set by the DeviceServer.

virtual void slotTimeTick(unsigned long long id, unsigned long long sec, unsigned long long frac, unsigned long long period) = 0¶

A slot called by the device server if the external time ticks update to synchronize this device with the timing system.

Parameters

id: current train id
sec: current system seconds
frac: current fractional seconds
period: interval between subsequent ids in microseconds

virtual void onTimeUpdate(unsigned long long id, unsigned long long sec, unsigned long long frac, unsigned long long period)¶

If the device receives time-server updates via slotTimeTick, this hook will be called for every id in sequential order. The time stamps (sec + frac) of subsequent ids might be identical - though they are usually spaced by period. Can be overwritten in derived classes.

Parameters

id: train id
sec: unix seconds
frac: fractional seconds (i.e. attoseconds)
period: interval between ids in microseconds

Protected Functions

virtual void onTimeTick(unsigned long long id, unsigned long long sec, unsigned long long frac, unsigned long long period)¶

A hook which is called if the device receives external time-server update, i.e. if slotTimeTick on the device server is called. Can be overwritten by derived classes.

Parameters

id: train id
sec: unix seconds
frac: fractional seconds (i.e. attoseconds)
period: interval between ids in microseconds

class BaseFsm¶

template <class FSM = NoFsm>

class Device¶

#include <Device.hh>

all Karabo devices derive from this class

The Device class is the base class for all Karabo devices. It provides for a standardized set of basic properties that all devices share and provides interaction with its configuration and properties.

Devices are defined by their expected parameters; a list of properties and commands that are known to the distributed system at static time. These parameters describe a devices Schema, which in turn describes the possible configurations of the device.

Devices may come in two flavors: one’s with a full-fledged, strict finite state machine (FSM), embedded into the device through templated inheritance, and those with a simple FSM, the noFSM, where states are updated within the device logic. The Device class defaults to the latter if no template parameter is given.

Inherits from karabo::core::BaseDevice, FSM

Public Functions

Device(const karabo::util::Hash &configuration)¶

serverId: a string representing the server this device is running on. If not given the device assumes to run in stand-alone mode.

deviceId: a string representing this device’s id, part of the unique identifier in the distributed system. If not given it defaults to none.

Parameters

configuration:

virtual ~Device()¶: The destructor will reset the DeviceClient attached to this device.

DeviceClient &remote()¶

This function allows to communicate to other (remote) devices. Any device contains also a controller for other devices (DeviceClient) which is returned by this function.

Return: DeviceClient instance

template <class ValueType>

void set(const std::string &key, const ValueType &value)¶

Updates the state/properties of the device. This function automatically notifies any observers in the distributed system.

Parameters

key: A valid parameter of the device (must be defined in the expectedParameters function)
value: The corresponding value (of corresponding data-type)

template <class ItemType>

void setVectorUpdate(const std::string &key, const std::vector<ItemType> &updates, VectorUpdate updateType, const karabo::util::Timestamp &timestamp)¶

Concurrency safe update of vector property

Does not work for Hash (i.e. table element) due to Hash equality just checking similarity. Removing might be unreliable for VECTOR_FLOAT or VECTOR_DOUBLE due to floating point equality issues.

Parameters

key: of the vector property to update
updates: items to remove from property vector (starting at the front) or to add (at the end)
updateType: indicates update type - applied individually to all items in ‘updates’
timestamp: timestamp to assign to updated vector property (e.g. getTimestamp())

template <class ValueType>

void set(const std::string &key, const ValueType &value, const karabo::util::Timestamp &timestamp)¶

Updates the state of the device. This function automatically notifies any observers in the distributed system.

Any updates are validated against the device schema and rejected if they are not appropriate for the current device state or are of wrong type. During validation alarm bounds are evaluated and alarms on properties will be raised if alarm conditions are met. Additionally, the distributed system is notified of these alarms.

Parameters

key: A valid parameter of the device (must be defined in the expectedParameters function)
value: The corresponding value (of corresponding data-type)
timestamp: The time of the value change

void writeChannel(const std::string &channelName, const karabo::util::Hash &data)¶

Writes a hash to the specified channel. The hash internally must follow exactly the data schema as defined in the expected parameters.

If ‘data’ contains an ‘NDArray’, consider to use the overload of this method that has the ‘safeNDArray’ flag. If that flag can be set to ‘true’, data copies can be avoided:

writeChannel(channelName, data, getActualTimestamp(), true);

Thread safety: The ‘writeChannel(..)’ methods and ‘signalEndOfStream(..)’ must not be called concurrently for the same ‘channelName’.

Parameters

channelName: The output channel name
data: Hash with the data

void writeChannel(const std::string &channelName, const karabo::util::Hash &data, const karabo::util::Timestamp &timestamp, bool safeNDArray = false)¶

Writes a hash to the specified channel. The hash internally must follow exactly the data schema as defined in the expected parameters.

Thread safety: The ‘writeChannel(..)’ methods and ‘signalEndOfStream(..)’ must not be called concurrently for the same ‘channelName’.

Parameters

channelName: The output channel name
data: Hash with the data
timestamp: A user provided timestamp (if e.g. retrieved from h/w)
safeNDArray: Boolean that should be set to ‘true’ if ‘data’ contains any ‘NDArray’ and their data is not changed after this ‘writeChannel’. Otherwise, data will be copied if needed, i.e. when the output channel has to queue or serves inner-process receivers.

void signalEndOfStream(const std::string &channelName)¶

Signals an end-of-stream event (EOS) on the output channel identified by channelName Thread safety: The ‘writeChannel(..)’ methods and ‘signalEndOfStream(..)’ must not be called concurrently for the same ‘channelName’.

Parameters

channelName: the name of the output channel.

void set(const karabo::util::Hash &hash)¶

Updates the state/properties of the device with all key/value pairs given in the hash.

Private Members

karabo::util::Validator m_validatorIntern¶: Validators to validate…

karabo::util::Validator m_validatorExtern¶: …internal updates via ‘Device::set’

boost::shared_ptr<DeviceClient> m_deviceClient¶: …external updates via ‘Device::slotReconfigure’

class DeviceClient¶

#include <DeviceClient.hh>

This class can be used to (remotely) control devices of the distributed system Synchronous calls (i.e. get()) are in fact asynchronous under the hood.

The Karabo DeviceClient provides a high-level interface for common calls to (remote) devices in the distributed system. In principle functionality implemented in the DeviceClient can be fully implemented in the Device using low level SignalSlotable calls alone, but device developers are discouraged from this approach, especially if synchronous behavior is acceptable or even desired.

In the context of a Device the DeviceClient is available using the Device::remote() function; it then shares the SignalSlotable instance of the device, e.g. there is no instantiation overhead.

Inherits from boost::enable_shared_from_this< DeviceClient >

Public Functions

DeviceClient(const std::string &instanceId = std::string(), bool implicitInit = true, const karabo::util::Hash &serviceDeviceIds = karabo::util::Hash())¶

Constructor which establishes an own connection to the communication system. This constructor is intended for stand-alone C++ device clients. Once we care about authentication, this has to be added here.

Parameters

instanceId: The id with which the client should participate in the system. If not unique or invalid, constructor will throw an exception. If empty (i.e. default), an id will be generated from host name and process id.
implicitInit: If true (default for backward compatibility - but NOT recommended!), the constructor will implicitly try to trigger a call to initialize() via the event loop. Since this can fail silently, it is strongly recommended to use implicitInit = false and call the initialize() method right after the constructor.
serviceDeviceIds: A hash with ids of core service devices; e.g, “dataLoggerManagerId” key and the value is the name of the DataLoggerManager the device client instance should use for data logging operations. Currently keys “dataLoggerManagerId” and “configurationManagerId” are supported.

DeviceClient(const boost::shared_ptr<karabo::xms::SignalSlotable> &signalSlotable, bool implicitInit = true, const karabo::util::Hash &serviceDeviceIds = karabo::util::Hash())¶

Constructor using instantiated signalSlotable object (shared communication - take care that the signalSlotable is kept alive since the DeviceClient will only keep a weak pointer)

Parameters

signalSlotable: An instance of the SignalSlotable lass
implicitInit: If true (default for backward compatibility - but NOT recommended!), the constructor will implicitly try to trigger a call to initialize() via the event loop. Since this can fail silently, it is strongly recommended to use implicitInit = false and call the initialize() method right after the constructor.
serviceDeviceIds: A hash with ids of core service devices; e.g, “dataLoggerManagerId” key and the value is the name of the DataLoggerManager the device client instance should use for data logging operations. Currently keys “dataLoggerManagerId” and “configurationManagerId” are supported.

DeviceClient(const std::string &instanceId, const karabo::util::Hash &serviceDeviceIds)¶

Constructor aimed at cases where a specific DataLoggerManagerId is required. Requires an explicit call to DeviceClient::initialize() after the construction takes place.

Parameters

instanceId: The id with which the client should participate in the system. If not unique or invalid, constructor will throw an exception. If empty, an id will be generated from host name and process id.
serviceDeviceIds: A hash with ids of core service devices; e.g, “dataLoggerManagerId” key and the value is the name of the DataLoggerManager the device client instance should use for data logging operations. Currently keys “dataLoggerManagerId” and “configurationManagerId” are supported.

DeviceClient(const boost::shared_ptr<karabo::xms::SignalSlotable> &signalSlotable, const karabo::util::Hash &serviceDeviceIds)¶

Constructor using instantiated signalSlotable object (shared communication - take care that the signalSlotable is kept alive since the DeviceClient will only keep a weak pointer) and aimed at cases where a specific DataLoggerManagerId is required. Requires an explicit call to DeviceClient::initialize() after the construction takes place.

Parameters

signalSlotable: An instance of the SignalSlotable lass
serviceDeviceIds: A hash with ids of core service devices; e.g, “dataLoggerManagerId” key and the value is the name of the DataLoggerManager the device client instance should use for data logging operations. Currently keys “dataLoggerManagerId” and “configurationManagerId” are supported.

class InstanceChangeThrottler¶

#include <InstanceChangeThrottler.hh>

Receives instance new, update and gone messages and dispatches them to an interested part in “cycles” spaced by a given interval. Also takes care of removing redundant message sequences.

The second level hashes are the values of the root hash. Their keys are the types of the instances whose changes are on the third level hashes. The keys are the contents of the InstanceInfo.Type field in the instance change data. Typical values for second level keys would be “device”, “server” and “macro”.

Note: The hash is composed of three level of hashes. The root hash has the types of the instances changes as its keys . The possible values for this first level keys are “new”, “gone” and “update”. The three keys will always be present in the root hash, even when a particular cycle has no change of the given type to dispatch.

The third level hashes are the values of the second level hashes. Their keys will be the instanceIds in the instance change data. Those keys can be either a deviceId, a serverId or any other kind of Id, depending on the type of the instance. The the third level hashes will be the ones resulting from calling the InstanceChangeEntryEncoder function passed as an argument to the Throttler with the InstanceId and InstanceInfo in the instance change data. For “new” and “update” changes the third level hash will be an empty hash with the input InstanceInfo fields as attributes. For “gone” changes the third level hash will not be empty and will have the same lay-out as the input InstanceInfo hash.

boost::shared_ptr<InstanceChangeThrottler> createThrottler(const InstanceChangeHandler &instChangeHandler, unsigned int cycleIntervalMs = 500u, unsigned int maxChangesPerCycle = 100)¶

InstanceChangeThrottler factory.

Return

A shared pointer to an InstanceChangeThrottler.

Note

The Throttler only has a private constructor; every instantiation of a Throttler must come from this factory method. It takes care of initializing the newly instantiated Throttler.

Note

instChangeEntryEncoder has been added to allow the Throttler to call DeviceClient::prepareTopologyEntry without directly knowing DeviceClient.

Parameters

instChangeHandler: The handler for instance change events dispatched by the Throttler.
cycleIntervalMs: The interval in milliseconds between throttler cycles.
maxChangesPerCycle: The maximum number of instance changes entries to be dispatched per throttler cycle. If this limit is reached before the throttler interval elapses, a cycle is started immediately to dispatch the changes to the handler.

Private Functions

Hash instNewUpdateEncoder(const std::string &instanceId, const karabo::util::Hash &instanceInfo) const¶

Encodes the instanceInfo hash into the format that the Throttler uses internally for changes of type NEW and UPDATE.

Return

a hash whose only key is the instanceId, with the keys/values in instanceInfo as attributes and an empty hash as the only value.

Parameters

instanceId: the id of the instance the change is about.
instanceInfo: the instanceInfo hash as used by the karabo GUI.

karabo::util::Hash instGoneEncoder(const std::string &instanceId, const karabo::util::Hash &instanceInfo) const¶

instanceInfo: the instanceInfo hash as used by the karabo GUI.

void addChange(InstChangeType changeType, const std::string &instanceId, const karabo::util::Hash &instanceInfo)¶

Adds an instance change to m_instChanges.

As part of the addition, performs some optimizations to the set of events already in the hash. It can happen that the new change actually “cancels” a set of changes that had been previously added. An example: an ‘instance gone’ event can “cancel” all the ‘instance new’ and ‘instance update’ events related to the same instance; in this scenario, the ‘addition’ of the gone event would actually consist of the removal of the other events related to the same instance.

Parameters

changeType:
instanceId:
instanceInfo:

maximumFileSize: of log files after which a new log file chunk is created
directory: the directory into which loggers should write their data
serverList: a list of device servers which each runs one logger. Each device in the distributed system is assigned to one logger. They are added to the loggers on these servers in a round robin fashion, allowing for load balancing. Assignment is made permanent in a loggermap.xml file that is regularly written to disk. This allows to distribute the servers in the serverList to be distributed among several hosts and still have fixed places for reading the data back.

void onGuiError(const karabo::util::Hash &hash)¶

an error further specified by hash occurred on a connection to a GUI client. The GUI-server will attempt to forward the error to the debug channel of the GUI client.

Parameters

hash:

void onConnect(const karabo::net::ErrorCode &e, karabo::net::Channel::Pointer channel)¶

connects a client on to the GUI server on channel. The channel is registered with two priority handlers: remove oldest and loss-less. The onRead and onError handlers are registered to handle incoming data and faults on the channel. Both upon successful completion and exceptions in the process the acceptor socket of the GUI-server is re-registered so that new client connections may be established.

Parameters

e: holds an error code if any error occurs when calling this slot
channel:

void registerConnect(const karabo::util::Version &version, const karabo::net::Channel::Pointer &channel, const std::string &userId = "", const std::string &oneTimeToken = "")¶

Creates an internal ChannelData structure mapped to the TCP Channel in charge of the connection between the GUI Client and the GUI Server. Also updates the number of connected clients property of the GUI Server.

Called after a successful user authorization based on a one-time token (when the GUI Server requires user authentication).

For GUI Servers that don’t require user authentication / authorization, it’s called right after the message of “type” “login” is received by the server and the client’s version is verified as one being supported by the server. The client’s version verification is also performed by a GUI Server that requires authentication (right before the token validation).

Note

The access level is not being saved in the internal ChannelData structure because all the access level enforcement is currently client side only. If any enforcement is required on the server side, the access level information must be stored in ChannelData and updated whenever the user downgrades his/her access level on the GUI client.

Parameters

version: the version of the connected GUI client
channel: the TCP channel for the connection being registered
userId: the ID of the user logged in the connected GUI Client
oneTimeToken: the one-time token resulting from the user authentication previously triggered by GUI client - the token is used by the GUI Server to validate the authentication and to authorize the user (send the user’s login access level back to the GUI Client).

void onWaitForLogin(const karabo::net::ErrorCode &e, const karabo::net::Channel::Pointer &channel, karabo::util::Hash &info)¶

Handler for login messages expected to be sent by a GUI Client right after it establishes a TCP connection to the GUI Server.

Keeps discarding and logging warnings for any message whose “type” is not “login”. When such an unexpected message is received, the GUI server binds this handler again to the TCP channel.

When a message of “type” of “login” is received, its handling is delegated to onLogin(const karabo::net::ErrorCode&, const karabo::net::Channel::Pointer&, karabo::util::Hash&)

Parameters

e: holds an error code if the eventloop cancels this task or the channel is closed
channel: the TCP channel for the recently established connection with a GUI client
info: a Hash containing the message “type” and, for “login” messages, some info related to the login process, like the version of the connected GUI client and some user related info, like the userID or the oneTimeToken the GUI Client received upon successfully authenticating the user logging in.

void onLogin(const karabo::net::Channel::Pointer &channel, const karabo::util::Hash &info)¶

Handles a login request of a user on a GUI client. If the login credentials are valid, the current system topology is sent to the client.

Note

for clients >= 2.20 a login message with no OneTimeToken is interpreted by an authenticated GUI Server as a request for a read-only session. The GUI Server will respond to such messages with Access Level OBSERVER and the read-only flag set to true. For login messages with OneTimeToken the read-only flag will be always set to false and the Access Level will be the one returned by the Karabo Authentication Server.

Parameters

channel: the TCP channel between the GUI client and the GUI server
info: Hash with information needed to validate the login request.

void onTokenAuthorizeResult(const WeakChannelPointer &channel, const std::string &userId, const karabo::util::Version &cliVersion, const std::string &oneTimeToken, const karabo::net::OneTimeTokenAuthorizeResult &authResult)¶

Parameters

info: data about the expired temporary session.

void onEndTemporarySessionNotice(const EminentExpirationInfo &info)¶

Handles a “temporary session about to expire” event.

The eminent temporary session end is handled by sending a message of type “onEndTemporarySessionNotice” to the client associated with the about to expire token. The message carries a Hash with paths “toExpireToken” and “secondsToExpiration”.

Parameters

info: data about the temporary session about to expire.

void onRead(const karabo::net::ErrorCode &e, WeakChannelPointer channel, karabo::util::Hash &info, const bool readOnly)¶

void onSubscribeNetwork(WeakChannelPointer channel, const karabo::util::Hash &info)¶

registers the client connected on channel to a pipe-lined processing channel identified by channelName in info in case subscribe is true. In case the pipe-lined processing channel is already connected to the gui-server no futher action is taken. Otherwise, a new connection is opened, set to copy and dropping behaviour in case the gui-server is busy, and with a maximum update frequency as defined by the delayOnInput property of the gui server. Network data from the pipe-lined processing connection is handled by the onNetworkData callback.

In this way only one connection to a given pipe-lined processing channel is maintained, even if multiple gui-clients listen to it. The gui-server thus acts as a kind of hub for pipe-lined processing onto gui-clients.

If subscribe is set to false, the connection is removed from the list of registered connections, but is kept open.

class GuiServerTemporarySessionManager¶

#include <GuiServerTemporarySessionManager.hh>

Manages temporary sessions on top of user-authenticated GUI Sessions.

Takes care of authorizing one-time temporary session tokens to start temporary sessions and of communicating temporary sessions about to expire or already expired.

Inherits from boost::enable_shared_from_this< GuiServerTemporarySessionManager >

Public Functions

GuiServerTemporarySessionManager(const std::string &topic, const std::string &authServerUrl, unsigned int temporarySessionDurationSeconds, unsigned int temporarySessionEndNoticeSeconds, EminentExpirationHandler onEminentExpiration, ExpirationHandler onExpiration)¶

Construct a new Gui Server Temporary Session Manager object.

Parameters

topic: the Karabo topic against which temporary session tokens will be authorized.
authServerUrl: the URL of the authentication server to use for authorizing one-time temporary session tokens.
temporarySessionDurationSeconds: the duration, in seconds, to be enforced for temporary sessions.
temporarySessionEndNoticeSeconds: the time in advance, in seconds, to communicate about an eminent end of temporary session event.
onEminentExpiration: handler for temporary sessions about to expire.
onExpiration: handler for expired temporary sessions.

void beginTemporarySession(const std::string &temporarySessionToken, const BeginTemporarySessionHandler &onBeginTemporarySession)¶

Assynchronously starts a new temporary session for a given one-time temporary session token.

Note

Calls the registered BeginTemporarySessionHandler with the results of the beginTemporarySession operation.

Parameters

temporarySessionToken: the one-time temporary session token to be authorized and bound to the started temporary session.
onBeginTemporarySession: handler for begin temporary session events (either successful or failed).

EndTemporarySessionResult endTemporarySession(const std::string &temporarySessionToken)¶

Synchronously terminates a temporary session referenced by a given temporary session token.

Return

a structure with the endTemporarySession operation results.

Note

an error due to a beginTemporarySession token not found isn’t necessarily an error from the GUI client point of view. In the unlikely scenario of an endTemporarySession request that reaches the GUI server while the expiration check that will detect the expiration of the same token is already running, the end temporary session request will “fail” with a “token not found” message. It is up to the GUI client to decide what to do in such cases - maybe keep track of an “over the wire” end temporary session request token and ignore any error related to it if an expiration notification is received for that token between the request dispatch and the arrival of its reponse.

Parameters

temporarySessionToken: the one-time temporary session token bound to the session to be terminated.

Private Functions

void checkTemporarySessionsExpirations(const boost::system::error_code &error)¶

Private Functions

void orderTest_slotStart()¶

The order test started with this slot works as follows:

’stringProperty’ defines the ‘other’ PropertyTest device supposed to send messages to us
’int32Property’ defines how many messages it should send
the number of messages and our own id are transferred to the other device
we connect our ‘slotCount’ to the other’s ‘signalCount’
we call the other’s ‘slotStartCount’ which will trigger sending messages to us, alternating between direct calls to our ‘slotCount’ and emitting ‘signalCount’ with count arguments starting from 0
we keep track of all counts received and their order (so do not run with billions of counts!)

Public Static Functions

void expectedParameters(karabo::util::Schema &s)¶

AmqpBroker operates currently with the following set of …

Signals are sent to the exchange …

exchange = <domain>.signals routing_key = <signalInstanceId>.<signalName> < selector queue = <m_instanceId> < common queue

the signals are emitted to the exchange bound via routing_key to the queue. The slotInstanceIds should subscribe to the AMQP::topic type exchange with the ‘routing_key’ and queue = <slotInstanceId>

Special case of above signals… signalHeartbeat … exchange = <domain>.signals routing_key = <signalInstanceId>.signalHeartbeat queue = <m_instanceId>

Calls, commands, requests, replies are sent to

exchange = <domain>.slots routing_key = <slotInstanceId> queue = <m_instanceId> < common queue

all requests/calls/replies to the device send to this exchange The further message dispatching to slots is provided by using info in message header.

Broadcast messages should be sent to …

exchange = <domain>.global_slots routing_key = “” queue = <m_instanceId>

there is a way of implementing “broadcast” messages like in JmsBroker. In JMS it was enough to use “|*|” in header’s slotInstanceIds. In AMQP we have to be subscribed to such exchange (to receive broadcast messages). Known global slots: slotInstanceNew to announce the new device in Karabo network slotInstanceUpdated to announce the device info to be updated slotInstanceGone to announce device death, slotPing to trigger sending their status by all devices received such message

GUI debug

exchange = <domain>.karaboGuiDebug routing_key = “” queue = <as gui=”” debug=”” listener=”” defines>=”“>

class AmqpTransceiver¶

#include <AmqpClient.hh>

Transceiver representing communication point with AMQP broker. It contains AMQP channel, exchange and, possibly, queue, routingKey, listener flag. The transceiver after creation should be activated i.e. started by creating a channel, declaring exchange, queue and binding them. This is implemented by running state machine defining order of operation.

The system signals SIGINT and SIGTERM will be caught and trigger the following actions:

a signal handler set via setSignalHandler is called,
and EventLoop::stop() is called.

Must not be called in parallel to itself or to run().

If one or more tasks are in deadlock and thus their threads cannot be joined at the end, a karabo::util::TimeoutException is thrown.

void run()¶

Start the event loop and block until all work posted to its io service is completed or until EventLoop::stop() is called.

Must not be called in parallel to itself or to work().

If one or more tasks are in deadlock and thus their threads cannot be joined at the end, a karabo::util::TimeoutException is thrown.

void stop()¶: Stop the event loop, canceling any remaining work, i.e. unblocking run()

size_t getNumberOfThreads()¶

Return the number of threads currently available to the event loop for distributing work

Return

class InfluxDbClient¶

#include <InfluxDbClient.hh>

This class uses HTTP protocol for communications with InfluxDB server. The protocol follows request/response pattern and before sending next request the response from the current one should be received. Only one request/response session per connection is allowed. To follow this rule the internal queue is used. Any request (functor) first is pushed into internal queue and then checked the internal state if some current request/response session is ongoing. If not, the next request is popped from front side of internal queue and executed. The internal flag (state) is raised. When response callback is called it checks if the internal queue has next entry and if so this entry is popped and executed. If not, the internal flag is lowered. For the time being the internal queue has no limits defined so it is possible that if the client cannot cope with input load rate some overflow condition can be encountered. The practice should show how we can handle these problems.

class JmsConnection¶

#include <JmsConnection.hh>

A class handling connections to a JMS message broker.

This class allows to create a single TCP connection to a JMS (openMQ) broker. One or more broker URLs can be provided. If several URLs are provided they will be tried in order once a previous connection failed. NOTE: Automatic reconnection needs a running event-loop

Inherits from boost::enable_shared_from_this< JmsConnection >

Public Functions

JmsConnection(const std::vector<std::string> &brokerUrls)¶

Create a tcp connection to a JMS broker

Parameters

brokerUrls: A vector of broker URLs (tcp://<host>:<port>)

The ‘skipSerialisation’ flag is for expert use: Instead of deserialising the message body, the body provided to the consumer::MessageHandler will be a Hash with a single key “raw” containing an std::vector<char> of the serialised message.

NOTE: Each call to this function will open a new thread in the central event-loop

Return: JmsConsumer

boost::shared_ptr<JmsProducer> createProducer()¶

Creates a new producer channel. Messages can be send to different topics via a single instance of this object

Return: JmsProducer

Private Functions

A class consuming messages from a JMS broker.

Inherits from boost::enable_shared_from_this< JmsConsumer >

Public Functions

void startReading(const consumer::MessageHandler &handler, const consumer::ErrorNotifier &errorNotifier = consumer::ErrorNotifier())¶

This triggers permanent reading of messages on the current topic that obey the provided selector. The given MessageHandler will be called sequentially for each message. An error notifier can be specified as well and will, in case of an error, be called (and have finished) before the message handler is called. Permanent reading can be interrupted by stopReading.

Parameters

handler: Message handler of signature <void (Hash::Pointer header, Hash::Pointer body)>
errorNotifier: Error notifier of signature <void (JmsConsumer::Error, string)> with an Error and a string indicating the problem

void stopReading()¶

Note: Use with care! 1) This does not stop receiving messages from the broker. On the contrary, messages are received and pile up both locally and on the broker since they are not acknowledged! To stop receiving, destruct this JmsConsumer. 2) Usually blocks until reading thread is joined - up to 100 ms.

void setTopic(const std::string &topic)¶

Set the broker topic to consume messages from

Use only when not reading, otherwise potential race condition.

struct RemoveThreadException¶

#include <EventLoop.hh>

An exception that is thrown if a thread cannot be removed from the EventLoop

Inherits from std::exception

class Strand¶

#include <Strand.hh>

A poor man’s substitute for boost::asio::strand because that does not guarantee that handlers posted on different strands can run in parallel (“strand collision”). Compared to boost::asio::strand, this

lacks dispatch: we usually do not want that in Karabo since it allows the handler to be called now in this scope
lacks running_in_this_thread: probably not too important
has a more restrictive wrap: would be useful to support more, but a proper implementation would also need dispatch

Every handler posted will be put into a FIFO queue and the FIFO will be emptied in the background by posting the handlers to the given boost::asio::io_context (either from net::EventLoop, passed in constructor, or defined by setContext(..)).

NOTE: Do not create a Strand on the stack, but do it on the heap using the Configurator:

auto stack = karabo::util::Configurator<Strand>::create(Hash(…));

Otherwise ‘enable_shared_from_this’ does not work which is needed to guarantee (via usage of karab::util::bind_weak) that an internal Strand method is executed on the event loop when the Strand is already destructed.

Inherits from boost::enable_shared_from_this< Strand >

Public Functions

Strand(boost::asio::io_context &ioContext)¶

Contructor only kept for backward compatibility.

Better use karabo::util::Configurator<Strand>::create(“Strand”, Hash())

Strand(const karabo::util::Hash &config)¶

Construct the Strand.

The boost::asio::io_context of the karabo::net::EventLoop will be used.

Best use this constructor indirectly via karabo::util::Configurator<Strand>::create(“Strand”, cfg) which will validate cfg and create the Strand properly on the heap.

Keys of cfg are “maxInARow” (unsigned int) and “guaranteeToRun” (bool), see expectedParameters.

void setContext(boost::asio::io_context &ioContext)¶

Set the context to which the handlers are to be posted.

No concurrency protection: Must be called directly after Strand creation, before it is used.

void post(const boost::function<void()> &handler)¶

Post a handler to the io_context with the guarantee that it is not executed before any other handler posted before has finished. Handlers posted on different Strands can always be run in parallel.

Note that “guaranteeToRun” flag of the constructor determines what happens with yet unhandled handlers when the Strand is destructed.

Parameters

handler: function without arguments and return value - will be copied

void post(boost::function<void()> &&handler)¶

Post a handler to the io_context with the guarantee that it is not executed before any other handler posted before has finished. Handlers posted on different Strands can always be run in parallel.

Note that “guaranteeToRun” flag of the constructor determines what happens with yet unhandled handlers when the Strand is destructed.

Parameters

handler: function without arguments and return value as r-value reference - will be moved to avoid a copy

boost::function<void()> wrap(boost::function<void()> handler)¶

This function is used to create a new handler function object that, when invoked, will pass the wrapped handler to the Strand’s post function (instead of using dispatch as boost::io_service::strand::wrap does).

Return

A function object that, when invoked, passes the wrapped handler to the Strand’s post function.

Parameters

handler: The handler to be wrapped. The strand will make a copy of the handler object. Compared to boost::io_service::strand::wrap, the handler signature is much more restricted, i.e. must be void().

boost::asio::io_context &getContext() const¶

This function may be used to obtain the io_context object that the strand uses to post handlers.

Return: A reference to the io_context of the Strand. Ownership is not transferred to the caller.

boost::asio::io_context &get_io_service() const¶

Deprecated.

Use getContext() instead.

class OutputChannel¶

#include <OutputChannel.hh>

An OutputChannel for passing data to pipelined processing.

The OutputChannel class is used for writing data to pipelined processing inputs. It supports tracking of meta data for each data token written to it. Specifically, it e.g. allows for keeping track of data producers, here called sources, and timing and train information. Meta data information enables aggregation of multiple data source into one output channel interaction with a remote host, as well as aggregation of multiple train-related data of the same source. A mixture of both scenarios is possible.

An example of these use cases

OutputChannel::Pointer output = ... //

Hash data1;
....
OutputChannel::MetaData meta1("THIS/IS/SOURCE/A/channel1", karabo::util::Timestamp());
output->write(data1, meta1)

Hash data2_10;
....
OutputChannel::MetaData meta2_10("THIS/IS/SOURCE/B/channel2", timestampForTrain10);
output->write(data2_10, meta2)
OutputChannel::MetaData meta2_11("THIS/IS/SOURCE/B/channel2", timestampForTrain11);
output->write(data2_11, meta2_11)

Hash data_this_source;
...
// not passing any meta data to write will default the source to [deviceId]/[channelName]
// and the timestamp to the current timestamp
output->write(data_this_source);

// now actually send over the network
output->update();

Deprecated: Tcp server initialization is triggered, but there is no control when and whether it succeeded. So better use the constructor with additional int argument (and set it to zero).

See

expectedParameters) and default-filled configuration

Parameters

config: Validated (

OutputChannel(const karabo::util::Hash &config, int autoInit)¶

Recommended constructor, allowing guaranteed-to-work initialization.

The recommended way to call it is via the Configurator and with autoInit == 0, followed by calling initialize():

Hash config(<here state=”” non-default=”” config=”” parameters>=”“>); OutputChannel::Pointer output = Configurator<OutputChannel>::create(“OutputChannel”, cfg, 0); output->initialize();

Caveat: Make sure you do not pass a ‘bool’ instead of an ‘int’ as argument to create(..) since then the other constructor is chosen and the value of the ‘bool’ determines whether to validate cfg or not.

See

expectedParameters) and default-filled configuration

Parameters

config: Validated (

Parameters

autoInit: If set to 0 (strongly recommended), the constructor does not yet try to initiate the TCP server initialization and the initialize() method has to be called as “second constructor”. The advantage is that the initialization cannot fail on busy systems and one has control when the server is available for remote connections. If autoInit != 0, this constructor behaves as the other constructor and initialize() must not be called.

void initialize()¶

“Second constructor”, to be called after construction with second argument autoInit == 0.

Initializes the underlying Tcp server connection and makes it available for others.

May throw a karabo::util::NetworkException, e.g. if a non-zero port was defined in the input configuration and that is not available since used by something else.

karabo::util::Hash getInitialConfiguration() const¶

Parameters

data: input Hash object
metaData: a MetaData object containing meta data for this data token.

Thread safety: All the ‘write(..)’ methods, ‘[async]UpdateNoWait’ and ‘[async]SignalEndOfStream(..)’ must not be called concurrently.

void write(const karabo::util::Hash &data, bool = false)¶

Writes a Hash containing data to the output channel. Sending to the network happens when update() is called. Metadata is initialized to default values. Namely the sending devices device id and the output channel’s name are used as data source.

Note: Any NDArray/ImageData inside data must stay untouched at least until update() or the callback of asyncUpdate(cb) has been called. See also the documentation of the safeNDArray flag of the update()/asyncUpdate() methods.

Parameters

data: input Hash object

Thread safety: All the ‘write(..)’ methods, ‘[async]UpdateNoWait’ and ‘[async]SignalEndOfStream(..)’ must not be called concurrently.

void write(const karabo::util::Hash::Pointer &data, const Memory::MetaData &metaData)¶

Writes a Hash containing data to the output channel. Sending to the network happens when update() is called. Note: Any NDArray/ImageData inside data must stay untouched at least until update() or the callback of asyncUpdate(cb) has been called. See also the documentation of the safeNDArray flag of the update()/asyncUpdate() methods.

Parameters

Thread safety: All the ‘write(..)’ methods, ‘[async]UpdateNoWait’ and ‘[async]SignalEndOfStream(..)’ must not be called concurrently.

void write(const karabo::util::Hash::Pointer &data)¶

Writes a Hash containing data to the output channel. Sending to the network happens asynchronously. Metadata is initialized to default values. Namely the sending devices device id and the output channel’s name are used as data source. Note: Any NDArray/ImageData inside data must stay untouched at least until update() or the callback of asyncUpdate(cb) has been called. See also the documentation of the safeNDArray flag of the update()/asyncUpdate() methods.

Parameters

data: shared pointer to input Hash object

Thread safety: All the ‘write(..)’ methods, ‘[async]UpdateNoWait’ and ‘[async]SignalEndOfStream(..)’ must not be called concurrently.

void update(bool safeNDArray = false)¶

Update the output channel, i.e. send all data over the wire that was previously written by calling write(…). This is a synchronous method, i.e. blocks until all data is actually sent (or dropped or queued).

Thread safety: All the ‘write(..)’ methods, ‘[async]UpdateNoWait’ and ‘[async]SignalEndOfStream(..)’ must not be called concurrently.

Parameters

safeNDArray: boolean to indicate whether all NDArrays inside the Hash passed to write(..) before are ‘safe’, i.e. their memory will not be referred to elsewhere after update is finished. Default is ‘false’, ‘true’ can avoid safety copies of NDArray content when data is queued or sent locally.

void asyncUpdate(bool safeNDArray = false, boost::function<void()> &&writeDoneHandler = []() {})¶

Semi-asynchronously update the output channel, i.e. start asynchronous sending of data over the wire that was previously written to the output channel’s‘ buffer by calling write(…), but block as long as required to really start sending. The start of sending data is delayed

for any connected input channel that is currently not ready to receive more data, but is configured with “dataDistribution” as “copy” and with “onSlowness” as “wait”,
or if none of the connected input channels that are configured with “dataDistribution” as “shared” are currently ready to receive data and if this output channel is configured with “noInputShared” as “wait”.

Thread safety: All the ‘write(..)’ methods, ‘[async]UpdateNoWait’ and ‘[async]SignalEndOfStream(..)’ must not be called concurrently.

Parameters

safeNDArray: boolean to indicate whether all NDArrays inside the Hash passed to write(..) before are ‘safe’, i.e. their memory will not be referred to elsewhere before ‘readyHandler’ is called. Default is ‘false’, ‘true’ can avoid safety copies of NDArray content when data is queued or sent locally.
writeDoneHandler: callback when data (that is not queued) has been sent and thus even NDArray data inside it can be re-used again (except if safeNDArray was set to ‘true’ in which case its memory may still be used in a queue).

void asyncUpdateNoWait(boost::function<void()> &&readyForNextHandlerboost::function<void()> &&writeDoneHandlerbool safeNDArray, )¶

Expert method

Asynchronously update the output channel, i.e. asynchronously send all data over the wire that was previously written by calling write(…) without any blocking. This method must not be called again before either ‘readyForNextHandler’ or ‘writeDoneHandler’ have been called which happens when sending data to all connected InputChannels that should receive the written data (note that for other InputChannels data may be dropped or queued) has

started: ‘readyForNextHandler’
finished, as confirmed by Tcp, or stopped due to disconnection: ‘writeDoneHandler’

TODO: Provide a handler called when sending data is completed, including any queued data, and thus NDArray data can be re-used again even if safeNDArray=false (i.e. buffers could be re-used).

Parameters

readyForNextHandler: callback when asyncUpdateNoWait maye be called again
writeDoneHandler: callback when sending is finished, i.e. now all NDArray inside the Hash passed to write(..) before can be re-used again (except if safeNDArray was set to ‘true’ in which case its memory may still be used in a queue)
safeNDArray: boolean to indicate whether all NDArrays inside the Hash passed to write(..) before are ‘safe’, i.e. their memory will not be referred to elsewhere after update is finished.

Thread safety: All the ‘write(..)’ methods, ‘[async]UpdateNoWait’ and ‘[async]SignalEndOfStream(..)’ must not be called concurrently.

void signalEndOfStream()¶

Synchronously send end-of-stream (EOS) notification to all connected input channels to indicate a logical break in the data stream.

Thread safety: All the ‘write(..)’ methods, ‘[async]UpdateNoWait’ and ‘[async]SignalEndOfStream(..)’ must not be called concurrently.

void asyncSignalEndOfStream(boost::function<void()> &&readyHandler)¶

Asynchonously send end-of-stream (EOS) notification to all connected input channels to indicate a logical break in the data stream.

Thread safety: All the ‘write(..)’ methods, ‘update()’/’asyncUpdate(cb)’ and ‘signalEndOfStream()’/’asyncSignalEndOfStream(cb)’ must not be called concurrently.

Parameters

readyHandler: callback when notification has been sent or queued

void registerSharedInputSelector(SharedInputSelector &&selector)¶

Register handler that selects which of the connected input channels that have dataDistribution = “shared” is to be served.

The handler will be called during update(..)/asyncUpdateNoWait with the ids of the connected “shared” input channels (e.g. “deviceId:input”) as argument. The returned channel id will receive the data. If an empty string or an unknown id is returned, the data will be dropped.

Parameters

void disable()¶

class SignalSlotable¶

#include <SignalSlotable.hh>

The SignalSlotable class. This class implements the so-called “Signal-Slot” design pattern orginally termed by the Qt-Gui framework. However, signals and slots are not restricted to a local application but can be connected and triggered across the network. This allows for programming with network components in the same intuitive (event-driven) way as Qt allows to do with its local components (e.g. widgets).

Moreover does this implementation (unlike Qt) not require any pre-processing. Another additional feature is the ability to setup new signals and/or slots at runtime.

Furthermore, this class implements functions for the common request/response patterns.

For a full documentation of the signal-slot component see the documentation in the software-guide.

Inherits from boost::enable_shared_from_this< SignalSlotable >

Subclassed by karabo::core::BaseDevice, karabo::core::BaseFsm, karabo::core::DeviceServer, karabo::core::StartStopInterface

typedef boost::function<void()> AsyncErrorHandler¶

An AsyncErrorHandler takes no argument, but it will be called such that it can rethrow and then catch exceptions. The caught exception indicates the failure reason, e.g.:

void asyncErrorHandler () { try { throw; } catch (std::exception& e) { // or any other exception type - or several catch statements KARABO_LOG_FRAMEWORK_WARN << “Probem when trying to do something: ” << e.what(); } }

Public Functions

SignalSlotable()¶: This constructor does nothing. Call init() afterwards for setting up.

SignalSlotable(const std::string &instanceId, const karabo::net::Broker::Pointer &connection, const int heartbeatInterval = 30, const karabo::util::Hash &instanceInfo = karabo::util::Hash())¶

Creates a functional SignalSlotable object using an existing connection.

Don’t call init() afterwards.

Parameters

instanceId: The future instanceId of this object in the distributed system
connection: An existing broker connection
heartbeatInterval: The interval (in s) in which a heartbeat is emitted
instanceInfo: A hash containing any important additional information

SignalSlotable(const std::string &instanceId, const karabo::util::Hash &brokerConfiguration = karabo::util::Hash(), const int heartbeatInterval = 30, const karabo::util::Hash &instanceInfo = karabo::util::Hash())¶

Creates a function SignalSlotable object allowing to configure the broker connection.

Don’t call init() afterwards.

Parameters

instanceId: The future instanceId of this object in the distributed system
brokerConfiguration: A single keyed Hash where the key is the broker type and the Hash at that key is the configuration for the respective broker type (a given instanceId it will be replaced by the first constructor argument). Can be empty or can contain an empty Hash() at the single key, i.e. will be expanded from defaults.
heartbeatInterval: The interval (in s) in which a heartbeat is emitted
instanceInfo: A hash containing any important additional information

void init(const std::string &instanceId, const karabo::net::Broker::Pointer &connection, const int heartbeatInterval, const karabo::util::Hash &instanceInfo, bool consumeBroadcasts = true)¶

Initializes the SignalSlotable object (only use in conjunction with empty constructor).

Parameters

instanceId: The future instanceId of this object in the distributed system
connection: An existing broker connection
heartbeatInterval: The interval (in s) in which a heartbeat is emitted
instanceInfo: A hash containing any important additional information
consumeBroadcasts: if true (default), receive messages addressed to everybody (i.e. to ‘*’) on its own. If false, some other mechanism has to ensure to deliver these.

void start()¶

This function starts the communication.

After a call to this non-blocking function the object starts listening to messages. The uniqueness of the instanceId is validated (throws SignalSlotException if not unique) and if successful the object registers with a call to “slotInstanceNew” to the distributed system.

bool eraseTrackedInstance(const std::string &instanceId)¶

Erase instance from container of tracked instances

To be called if one is tracking instances and is sure that the given instance is not alive anymore (e.g. if another instance in the same process is dead as well). If erroneously called, the next arriving heartbeat of the instance will trigger an instanceNew event

Return

whether instanceId was tracked before

Parameters

instanceId: that shall be treated as not alive anymore

std::vector<string> getAvailableSignals(const std::string &instanceId, int timeout = 100)¶

Moreover, this SignalSlotable obeys (throughout its full lifetime or until “disconnect” is called with the same arguments) the responsibility to keep this connection alive, i.e. to reconnect if either signal or slot instance come back after they have shutdown or if they come up the first time.

Return

whether connection is already successfully established

slot: <slotInstanceId>:<slotSignature>

void asyncConnect(const std::string &signalInstanceId, const std::string &signalSignature, const std::string &slotInstanceId, const std::string &slotSignature, const boost::function<void()> &successHandler = boost::function<void()>()const AsyncErrorHandler &failureHandler = AsyncErrorHandler(), int timeout = 0, )¶

This function tries to establish asynchronously a connection between a signal and a slot, identified both by their respective instance IDs and signatures. Moreover, this SignalSlotable obeys (throughout its full lifetime or until “disconnect” is called with the same arguments) the responsibility to keep this connection alive, i.e. to reconnect if either signal or slot instance come back after they have shutdown or if they come up the first time.

Parameters

signalFunction: The name of the previously registered signal
args...: A variadic number of arguments to be published

template <typename… Args>

void call(const std::string &instanceId, const std::string &functionName, const Args&... args) const¶

Calls a (remote) function. Calling a remote function is a fire-and-forget activity. The function returns immediately after sending the message.

Parameters

instanceId: Instance to be called
functionName: Function on instance to be called (must be a registered slot)
args: Arguments with which to call the slot

template <typename… Args>

void reply(const Args&... args)¶

Place the reply of a slot call

To be used inside a method registered as a slot. The reply is not directly sent, but it is registered to be sent once all methods registered to the slot (usually only one) have finished execution. So if called several times in a slot, the last call defines the actual reply.

If this method is not called inside a slot, an “empty” reply will be send without arguments. But note that Device::updateState(const State s, …) implicitly calls reply(s.name()).

See about AsyncReply to avoid blocking the thread in case reply values are known only later, e.g. after some IO operations.

Parameters

args: 0 to 4 objects of the types known to serialisation, e.g. float, vector<long long>, Hash,…

void registerSlot(const boost::function<void()> &slotconst std::string &funcName, )¶: Register a new slot function for a slot. A new slot is generated if so necessary. It is checked that the signature of the new slot is the same as an already registered one.

JSON Arrays of Mixed types are unsupported.

JSON types are mapped to C++ types as below:

JSON Integer -> long long
JSON Decimal -> double
JSON empty array -> empty std::vector<std::string>

Return

A Hash object representing the parsed JSON structure.

Parameters

jsonString: A string containing the JSON representation to be converted.

Exceptions

Hash generateAutoStartHash(const Hash &initHash)¶

Generates an auto-start configuration Hash based on the provided initialization Hash.

This function takes an initialization Hash representing the initial configuration of components and constructs an auto-start configuration Hash based on it.

The initialization Hash is expected to have been generated from the JSON for the init string used to autostart devices on a karabo cpp server.

An example conversion should look like this:

initHash: ‘data_logger_manager_1’ + ‘classId’ => DataLoggerManager STRING ‘serverList’ => karabo/dataLogger STRING ‘schema_printer1’ + ‘classId’ => SchemaPrinter STRING

Above transforms to autoStart hash: ‘autoStart’ @ [0] ‘DataLoggerManager’ + ‘deviceId’ => data_logger_manager_1 STRING ‘serverList’ => karabo/dataLogger STRING [1] ‘SchemaPrinter’ + ‘deviceId’ => schema_printer1 STRING

Return

A Hash object representing the auto-start configuration based on the provided initialization Hash.

Parameters

initHash: The initialization Hash containing the initial configuration of components.

template <typename Ret, typename… Args, typename Obj>

std::function<Ret(Args...)> karabo::util::exec_weak_impl(Ret(Obj::*)(Args...) const f, const Obj * o)

Provides a wrapper with the same signature as f, but securing shared ownership of an object of type Obj before execution of f. Class Obj needs to derive somewhere in its inheritance tree from enable_shared_from_this();

Return

a wrapped version of f.

Parameters

f: a const member function, can have any argument types and any return value
o: a pointer to an object that has a member function f

template <typename Ret, typename… Args, typename Obj>

std::function<Ret(Args...)> karabo::util::exec_weak_impl(Ret(Obj::*)(Args...) f, Obj * o)

Provides a wrapper with the same signature as f, but securing shared ownership of an object of type Obj before execution of f. Class Obj needs to derive somewhere in its inheritance tree from enable_shared_from_this();

Return

a wrapped version of f.

Parameters

f: a non-const member function, can have any argument types and any return value
o: a pointer to an object that has a member function f

template <typename F, typename Obj, typename… P>

auto bind_weak(const F &f, Obj *const o, const P... p)¶

Weakly binds member function f to an object of class Obj, but assures shared ownership of the object while f is executed. This means that during the lifetime of calling f, the object cannot be destroyed, but destruction is not blocked if f is not being executed but only bound. Class Obj needs to derive from boost::enable_shared_from_this and the object pointer o has to be held by a shared_ptr. This means that you cannot use bind_weak within the constructor of Obj nor for objects constructed on the stack. Note that f may have any default constructable return type: If the bound functor will be called when the object is already destroyed, the functor returns a default constructed object of the return type.

Below is an example of how to bind to a boost::asio interface.

void Device::executeStepFunction(int arg, const boost::system::error_code& error) { …. m_timer.async_wait(bind_weak(&Device::executeStepFunction, this, arg + 1, _1)); …. }

Return

: bound functor, compatible with boost bind.

f: function to bind, give as &Foo::bar
o: pointer to object to bind to
p: parameters as one would give to boost::bind. Placeholders are fully supported.

std::vector<T> fromStringForSchemaOptions(const std::string &value, const std::string &sep)¶

XXX: This function is working around the surprising behavior of fromstring<unsigned char>(value, sep) seen above. The long-term solution should be to remove the base64 encoding/decoding in toString/fromString. However, we need to discover which code is expecting that behavior before making such a change.

In the meantime, we can use this simple version for schema options parsing.

Due to this reason, if there are missing algarisms to perform the desired precision resolution, zeros will be added to this left of the fractional seconds number received.

Return

String started with a “.” (dot) (except skipDot is true) and followed by the fractional second till the desired precision

Parameters

precision: - Indicates the precision of the fractional seconds (e.g. MILLISEC, MICROSEC, NANOSEC, PICOSEC, FEMTOSEC, ATTOSEC) [Default: MICROSEC]
fractionalSeconds: - Fractional seconds to be return with the correct desired precision
skipDot: - if true, skip leading dot “.” in result [Default: false]

const std::string fractionalStringToAttoFractionalString(const std::string &fractionalSeconds)¶

Converts a STRING fractional second value into it’s value in ATTOSEC precision Because fractional seconds are received as a STRING, this function assumes the algarisms are the left most algarisms. Due to this reason, if there are missing algarisms to perform ATTOSEC resolution, zeros will be added to this right of the fractional seconds number received.

Return

String started with a “.” (dot) and followed by the fractional second till the desired precision

Parameters

fractionalSeconds: - Fractional seconds to be return with ATTOSEC precision

class HardwareException¶

#include <Exception.hh>

The HardwareException handles exceptions that are caused by any connected hardware

Inherits from karabo::util::Exception

class Hash¶

#include <Hash.hh>

A generic key value container that supports ordering and attributes.

Hash container:

The Hash is a heterogeneous generic key/value container that associates a string key to a value of any type.
The Hash is a core data structure in Karabo software framework, and is widely used in the karabo system.
For instance, exchanging data and configurations between two or more entities (devices, GUI), database interface (store and retrieval ), meta-data handling, etc.
The Hash class is much like a XML-DOM container with the difference of allowing only unique keys on a given tree-level.
Like and XML DOM object, the Hash provides a multi-level (recursive) key-value associative container, where keys are strings and values can be of any C++ type.

Concept:

Provide recursive key-value associative container (keys are strings and unique, values can be of any type)
Preserve insertion order, while optimized for random key-based lookup. Different iterators are available for each use case.
Like in XML, each hash key can have a list of (key-value) attributes (attribute keys are strings and unique, attribute values can be of any type).
Seamless serialization to/from XML, Binary, HDF5, etc.
Usage: configuration, device-state cache, database interface (result-set), message protocol, meta-data handling, etc.
Templated set, get for retrieving values from keys. Assumes recursursion on “.” characters in key by default. Seperator can be specified per function call.
Exposed iterators will a sequential iterator (insertion order) and a alpha-numeric order iterator.
Each iterator provides access to its key, value, and attributes in form of a Hash::Node and can thus be used for recursive traversal.
Insertion of a non-existing key leads to new entry whilst insertion of an existing key will only update (merge) the corresponding value/attributes.
Additional functionality include: list of paths, clear/erase, find, merge, comparison, etc.

Subclassed by karabo::util::NDArray, karabo::xms::Memory::MetaData

Public Functions

Hash::const_iterator begin() const¶: Insertion order iterator (i.e. list iterator)

Hash::const_map_iterator mbegin() const¶: Alpha-numeric order iterator (i.e. map iterator)

boost::optional<const Hash::Node&> find(const std::string &path, const char separator = k_defaultSep) const¶

Return

Hash::Node wrapped in boost::optional

Parameters

path: sequence of keys to the searched for element

Hash(const std::string &path)¶

Use this constructor to create a hash with one key/value pair where value is just an empty hash Example: The code like this …

Hash hash(myKey);

… is equivalent to …

Hash hash(myKey, Hash());

Parameters

key: Name of empty child

template <typename V1, typename… Args>

Hash(const std::string &path1, V1 &&value1, Args&&... args)¶

Constructor for different numbers of key-value pairs as arguments Create and initialize a hash with multiple key-value pairs in a single call, supporting also move semantics

Parameters

key1: A string hash key
value1: Any object as (r- or l-)value
key2: Optionally another key

value2: Optionally another object as (r- or l-)value … Example:

Hash hash("firstKey", 1, "secondKey", 2, "thirdKey", 3, "fourthKey", 4, "fifthKey", 5, "sixthKey", 6);

~Hash()¶: Destructor

Hash(const Hash &other)¶: Copy constructor

Hash &operator=(const Hash &other)¶: Assignment of “lvalue”

Hash(Hash &&other)¶: Move constructor

Return: size_t

bool empty() const¶

Check if the hash contains any keys or not.

Return: true if hash is empty, false otherwise

void clear()¶

Return: No

bool erase(const std::string &path, const char separator = k_defaultSep)¶

Remove the element identified by ‘path’ if it exists. Otherwise, do nothing. If ‘path’ is a composite element, all its descendents are removed as well. The path up to the last part of ‘path’ is not removed. Example 1: erase (“a.b.c”) will remove “c”, but “a.b” should not be removed even if “c” is the only child of “a.b”. If ‘path’ refers to a Hash inside a vector<Hash>, that element of the vector is erased, i.e. the vector shrinks. Example 2: erase (“a.b[1]”) will remove element 1 of “b”. If “b” had a size above 2, the old element “b[2]” will now be referred to as “b[1]”.

Return: true if key exists, otherwise false

void erasePath(const std::string &path, const char separator = k_defaultSep)¶

Remove the element identified by ‘path’ if it exists. If ‘key’ is composite (e.g. “a.b.c”) and the last component (“c”) is the only child of its parent, the parent is removed as well. This removal is recursively continued to the root. Example 1: erasePath(“a.b.c”) will remove “c” and “b” will be removed as well if “c” is the only child of “a.b”. If “a.b.c” is the only element in the Hash, then erasePath(“a.b.c”) will result in an empty hash. If ‘path’ refers to a Hash inside a vector<Hash>, that element of the vector is erased, i.e. the vector shrinks. If the element was the only one in the vector, the vector will be removed as well Example 2: erase (“a.b[0]”) will remove element 0 of “b”. If “b” had a size of 1, b will be removed completely (and ‘a’ as well in case of no other child).

Return: No

Return

A pointer to the internal object Example:

Parameters

key: A string hash key

template <typename ValueType>

const ValueType &get(const std::string &path, const char separator = k_defaultSep) const¶

Retrieve a constant reference to the value of element identified by ‘key’

Return

Parameters

key: A string key

template <typename ValueType>

class NodeElement¶

#include <NodeElement.hh>

The NodeElement groups other elements into a hierarchy.

The NodeElement can be used to create hierarchies in the expected parameter section of a device.

Example:

NODE_ELEMENT(expected).key("myNode")
         .displayedName("This is a Node")
         .commit();

SOME_ELEMENT(expected).key("myNode.myKeyA")
        ...
        .assignmentOptional().defaultValue("client")
        ...
        .commit();

SOME_ELEMENT(expected).key("myNode.myKeyB")
        ...
        .assignmentOptional().defaultValue("client")
        ...
        .commit();

creates the following hierarchy:

MyNode -> myKeyA -> myKeyB

NodeElements may contain subnodes so that arbitrary compley hierarchies up to a maximum aggregated key-length of 120 characters are possible

NodeElements may further be used to provide options for karabo::util::ChoiceElement and list entries for karabo::util::ListElement

template <typename T>
void checkTypedBoundaries()¶: Check default/max/min value consistency, after the value type is known Requires that m_node is not NULL

class Restrictions¶

#include <OverwriteElement.hh>

This class allows to define restrictions for the OVERWRITE_ELEMENT, i.e. which attributes of a different element may not be altered through OVERWRITE. The TABLE_ELEMENT e.g. has no notion of minInc or maxInc, and these should thus not be settable to it via overwrites.

The class “serializes” its options to a vector<bool> which can be passed as an attribute to the node describing the element. It works by making use of the ordered nature of the hash, allowing it to reconstruct itself from a vector<bool>.

Return

a std::pair where the first entry is a Boolean indicating if validation was successful (true), and the second entry contains a string identifying the first validation failure encountered if validation has failed.

Parameters

schema: against which to validate
unvalidatedInput: which should be validated
validatedOutput: validated and altered according to current ValidationRules
timestamp:

all elements as defined by the Schema are present, if the validation rules do not allow for default injection missing keys. In the first case validation of a missing element only passes if a default value for the element has been defined in the schema
no elements in addition to those defined by the Schema are present, if the rules define that no additional keys are allowed
that the root element of the input Hash stands alone and represents the class id of a factorizable class if an unrooted configuration is not allowed by the validation rules

In addition for the above “sanity” checks, the Validator performs the following tasks:

for sequence values validate that they fulfill their minimum and maximum size requirements if defined by the Schema
inject timestamps for leaf elements of validatedOutput - details depending on ValidationRules:
- if injectTimestamps is false: no injection, but timestamp attributes present in unvalidatedInput are transferred to validatedOutput
- if injectTimestamps is true and forceInjectedTimestamp is false: timestamp is injected, but timestamp attributes present in unvalidatedInput are not overwritten, but are transferred to validatedOutput
- if injectTimestamps and forceInjectedTimestamp are both true: timestamp is injected even if another timestamp is in attributes of unvalidatedInput

injectDefaults: inject default values if a value for an element defined in the Schema is missing from the input Hash.
allowUnrootedConfiguration: allow for unrooted input Hash, i.e. one that doesn’t have a classId as the key of the root node
allowAdditionalKeys: allow additional keys in the input Hash that do not map to elements specified in the schema
allowMissingKeys: allow for keys missing in the input Hash even if an element for this key is present in the schema
injectTimestamps for leaf elements:
- if injectTimestamps is false: no injection
- if injectTimestamps is true and forceInjectedTimestamp is false: timestamp is injected, but timestamp attributes present are not overwritten
- if injectTimestamps and forceInjectedTimestamp are both true: timestamp is injected and may overwrite previous timestamp attributes

If any of the above scenarios are encountered during validation and the option is not set to true, i.e. the Validator is not allowed to resolve the issue, validation will fail.
