ACE_MEM_IO Class Reference

Defines the methods for the ACE shared memeory wrapper I/O routines (e.g., send/recv). The shared memory transport uses ACE_SOCK_* class to implement the signaling mechanism so we can easily use the new mechanism with the Reactor pattern (which uses select under the hood.) ACE_MEM_Acceptor and ACE_MEM_Connector are used to establish connections. When a connection is established, ACE_MEM_Acceptor creates the MMAP file for data exchange and sends the location of the file (complete path name) to ACE_MEM_Connector thru the socket. ACE_MEM_Connector then reads the location of the file off the socket and opens up the same MMAP file. ACE_MEM_Stream at each side then contains a reference to the ACE_Mallo object using the same MMAP file. When sending information using methods provided in this class, ACE_MEM_IO requests a chunk of memory from the MALLOC_TYPE object, copy the data into the shared memory and send the memory offset (from the start of the ACE_Malloc) across the socket. This action also servers as a signal to the other end. The receiving side then reverses the procedures and copies the information into user buffer. More...

Detailed Description

Defines the methods for the ACE shared memeory wrapper I/O routines (e.g., send/recv).

ACE_MEM_Acceptor and ACE_MEM_Connector are used to establish connections. When a connection is established, ACE_MEM_Acceptor creates the MMAP file for data exchange and sends the location of the file (complete path name) to ACE_MEM_Connector thru the socket. ACE_MEM_Connector then reads the location of the file off the socket and opens up the same MMAP file. ACE_MEM_Stream at each side then contains a reference to the ACE_Mallo object using the same MMAP file.

Member Function Documentation

void ACE_MEM_IO::dump (  void    )  const

Dump the state of an object. Reimplemented from ACE_SOCK. Reimplemented in ACE_MEM_Stream.

ASYS_INLINE ssize_t ACE_MEM_IO::fetch_recv_buf (  int    flag, const ACE_Time_Value *    timeout )  [private]

Return the local endpoint port number. Returns 0 if successful, else -1.

int ACE_MEM_IO::fini (  void    )

Finalizing the MEM_IO object. This method doesn't invoke the <remove> method.

int ACE_MEM_IO::init (  const ACE_TCHAR *    name, ACE_MEM_IO::Signal_Strategy    type = ACE_MEM_IO::Reactive, ACE_MEM_SAP::MALLOC_OPTIONS *    options = 0 )

Initialize the MEM_SAP object.

ASYS_INLINE ssize_t ACE_MEM_IO::recv (  void *    buf, size_t    n, int    flags, const ACE_Time_Value *    timeout )

Wait up to <timeout> amount of time to receive up to <n> bytes into <buf> from <handle> (uses the <recv> call). If <recv> times out a -1 is returned with <errno == ETIME>. If it succeeds the number of bytes received is returned.

ASYS_INLINE ssize_t ACE_MEM_IO::recv (  void *    buf, size_t    n, const ACE_Time_Value *    timeout )

Wait up to <timeout> amount of time to receive up to <n> bytes into <buf> from <handle> (uses the <recv> call). If <recv> times out a -1 is returned with <errno == ETIME>. If it succeeds the number of bytes received is returned.
