Member Enumeration Documentation

anonymous enum
 

Enumeration values:
OCTET_SIZE 
SHORT_SIZE 
LONG_SIZE 
LONGLONG_SIZE 
LONGDOUBLE_SIZE 
OCTET_ALIGN 
SHORT_ALIGN 
LONG_ALIGN 
LONGLONG_ALIGN 
LONGDOUBLE_ALIGN 
Note:
the CORBA LongDouble alignment requirements do not match its size...
MAX_ALIGNMENT  Maximal CDR 1.1 alignment: "quad precision" FP (i.e. "CDR::Long double", size as above).
DEFAULT_BUFSIZE  The default buffer size.

Todo:
We want to add options to control this default value, so this constant should be read as the default default value ;-)
EXP_GROWTH_MAX  The buffer size grows exponentially until it reaches this size; afterwards it grows linearly using the next constant
LINEAR_GROWTH_CHUNK  Once exponential growth is ruled out the buffer size increases in chunks of this size, note that this constants have the same value right now, but it does not need to be so.


Member Function Documentation

void ACE_CDR::consolidate ACE_Message_Block   dst,
const ACE_Message_Block   src
[static]
 

Copy a message block chain into a single message block, preserving the alignment of the first message block of the original stream, not the following message blocks.

ACE_INLINE size_t ACE_CDR::first_size size_t    minsize [static]
 

Compute the size of the smallest buffer that can contain at least <minsize> bytes. To understand how a "best fit" is computed look at the algorithm in the code. Basically the buffers grow exponentially, up to a certain point, then the buffer size grows linearly. The advantage of this algorithm is that is rapidly grows to a large value, but does not explode at the end.

int ACE_CDR::grow ACE_Message_Block   mb,
size_t    minsize
[static]
 

Increase the capacity of mb to contain at least <minsize> bytes. If <minsize> is zero the size is increased by an amount at least large enough to contain any of the basic IDL types. Return -1 on failure, 0 on success.

void ACE_CDR::mb_align ACE_Message_Block   mb [static]
 

Align the message block to ACE_CDR::MAX_ALIGNMENT, set by the CORBA spec at 8 bytes.

ACE_INLINE size_t ACE_CDR::next_size size_t    minsize [static]
 

Compute not the smallest, but the second smallest buffer that will fir <minsize> bytes.

ACE_INLINE void ACE_CDR::swap_16 const char *    orig,
char *    target
[static]
 

void ACE_CDR::swap_16_array const char *    orig,
char *    target,
size_t    length
[static]
 

ACE_INLINE void ACE_CDR::swap_2 const char *    orig,
char *    target
[static]
 

Do byte swapping for each basic IDL type size. There exist only routines to put byte, halfword (2 bytes), word (4 bytes), doubleword (8 bytes) and quadword (16 byte); because those are the IDL basic type sizes.

void ACE_CDR::swap_2_array const char *    orig,
char *    target,
size_t    length
[static]
 

ACE_INLINE void ACE_CDR::swap_4 const char *    orig,
char *    target
[static]
 

void ACE_CDR::swap_4_array const char *    orig,
char *    target,
size_t    length
[static]
 

ACE_INLINE void ACE_CDR::swap_8 const char *    orig,
char *    target
[static]
 

void ACE_CDR::swap_8_array const char *    orig,
char *    target,
size_t    length
[static]
 

size_t ACE_CDR::total_length const ACE_Message_Block   begin,
const ACE_Message_Block   end
