Member Function Documentation
◆ AddTopic() [1/2]
| int64_t AddTopic | ( | const std::regex & | _topic | ) |
Add a topic to be played back (regex match)
- Parameters
-
[in] _topic Pattern to match against topic names
- Note
- This method attempts to advertise topics immediately. These publishers will be kept until this is destructed.
- Returns
- number of topics that will be published or -1 if this Playback object is not valid.
◆ AddTopic() [2/2]
| bool AddTopic | ( | const std::string & | _topic | ) |
Add a topic to be played back (exact match only)
- Parameters
-
[in] _topic The exact topic name
- Note
- This method attempts to advertise the topic immediately. The publisher will be kept until this is destructed.
- Returns
- True if the topic exists in the log, false if it does not exist or if the log is not valid.
◆ RemoveTopic() [1/2]
| int64_t RemoveTopic | ( | const std::regex & | _topic | ) |
Remove all topics matching the specified pattern from being played back.
- Note
- If neither AddTopic() nor RemoveTopic() were called prior to this function, we will assume you want all of the topics and then remove the one passed in here.
- Parameters
-
[in] _topic The pattern of topics to be removed
- Returns
- The number of topics that have been removed from playback due to this function call.
◆ RemoveTopic() [2/2]
| bool RemoveTopic | ( | const std::string & | _topic | ) |
Remove a topic from being played back.
- Note
- If neither AddTopic() nor RemoveTopic() were called prior to this function, we will assume you want all of the topics and then remove the one passed in here.
- Parameters
-
[in] _topic The exact topic name to remove
- Returns
- True if the topic was in the list and has been removed, false otherwise.
◆ Start()
| PlaybackHandlePtr Start | ( | const std::chrono::nanoseconds & | _waitAfterAdvertising = std::chrono::seconds(1), |
| bool | _msgWaiting = true |
||
| ) | const |
Begin playing messages.
- Parameters
-
[in] _waitAfterAdvertising How long to wait before the publications begin after advertising the topics that will be played back. [in] _msgWaiting True to wait between publication of messages based on the message timestamps. False to playback messages as fast as possible. Default value is true.
- Note
- The topic discovery process will need some time before publishing begins, or else subscribers in other processes will miss the outgoing messages. The default value is recommended unless you are confident in the timing of your system.
- Remarks
- If your application uses another library that uses sqlite3, it may be unsafe to start multiple simultaneous PlaybackHandles from the same Playback instance, because they will interact with the same sqlite3 database in multiple threads (see https://www.sqlite.org/threadsafe.html). In most cases there should be no issue, but if you or a library you are using calls sqlite3_config(~) to change the threading mode to Single-thread or Multi-thread (instead of the default setting of Seralized), then starting multiple simultaneous playbacks from the same log file could be dangerous.
- Returns
- A handle for managing the playback of the log. You must hold onto this object in order for the playback to continue, or else it will be cut short.
If an error prevents the playback from starting, this will return a nullptr.
◆ Valid()
| bool Valid | ( | ) | const |
Check if this Playback object has a valid log to play back.
- Returns
- true if this has a valid log to play back, otherwise false.
