Detailed Description

Abstract base class for DDAS data sources.

Pure abstract data source which uses a factory's ring item getters to provide ring items from a data source. Since the factory provides this, we'll need concrete classes:

FdDataSource: give data from a file descriptor.
StreamDataSource: give data from a stream.
Note
Neither of these data sources supports reading directly from a ring buffer, as the format library is unaware of those NSCLDAQ classes. To read data from a ringbuffer you can create a file descriptor data source and read data from stdin i.e. ringselector | ddasdumper -.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ DataSource()

DataSource::DataSource ( RingItemFactoryBase * pFactory )

Constructor.

Just saves the factory pointer - note that we gain ownershp of the factory and, therefore, it's deleted on our destruction.

◆ ~DataSource()

DataSource::~DataSource ( )

virtual

Destructor.

Destroys the factory.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getItem()

virtual CRingItem* DataSource::getItem ( )

pure virtual

Pure-virtual method to access a ring item from the data source. Must be implemented in derived classes.

Returns: Pointer to the next ring item from the source.

Implemented in StreamDataSource, and FdDataSource.

◆ setFactory()

void DataSource::setFactory ( RingItemFactoryBase * pFactory )

Set a new factory.

Pretty simple:

Delete the current factory.
Set a new factory e.g. if the format changes.

Member Data Documentation

◆ m_pFactory

RingItemFactoryBase* DataSource::m_pFactory

protected

Pointer to our ring item factory.
