Member Function Documentation

void madara::knowledge::KnowledgeBaseImpl::acquire ( void )

inline

Acquires the recursive lock on the knowledge base.

lock the underlying knowledge base against any updates until we release

This will block any other thread from updating or using the knowledge base until you call @ release.

Definition at line 441 of file KnowledgeBaseImpl.inl.

void madara::knowledge::KnowledgeBaseImpl::activate_transport ( void )

inline

Starts the transport mechanism for dissemination if it is closed.

Definition at line 253 of file KnowledgeBaseImpl.inl.

void madara::knowledge::KnowledgeBaseImpl::add_modifieds ( const VariableReferences & modifieds ) const

inline

Adds a list of VariableReferences to the current modified list.

Parameters

modifieds a list of variables to add to modified list

Definition at line 789 of file KnowledgeBaseImpl.inl.

int madara::knowledge::KnowledgeBaseImpl::apply_modified ( const EvalSettings & settings = EvalSettings () )

inline

Applies current time and modified to all global variables and tries to send them.

Updates all global variables to current clock and then sends them if a transport is available.

Parameters

settings Settings for evaluating and printing

Returns: 0 if there was not a problem.

This is useful when trying to synchronize to late joiners (this process will resend all global variables.

Definition at line 161 of file KnowledgeBaseImpl.inl.

void madara::knowledge::KnowledgeBaseImpl::attach_logger ( logger::Logger & logger ) const

inline

Attaches a logger to be used for printing.

Parameters

logger the logger the context should lose

Definition at line 108 of file KnowledgeBaseImpl.inl.

size_t madara::knowledge::KnowledgeBaseImpl::attach_transport ( madara::transport::Base * transport )

inline

Attaches a transport to the Knowledge Engine.

Note that the transport should use the same ThreadSafeContext as the Knowledge Engine.

Parameters

transport a new transport to attach tot he Knowledge Base

Returns: the number of transports now attached

Definition at line 531 of file KnowledgeBaseImpl.inl.

size_t madara::knowledge::KnowledgeBaseImpl::attach_transport	(	const std::string &	id,
		transport::TransportSettings &	settings
	)

Adds a built-in transport with the specified settings.

Parameters

id	unique identifier for this agent (empty string will use default generated id)
settings	settings for the new transport

Returns: the number of transports now attached

Definition at line 72 of file KnowledgeBaseImpl.cpp.

bool madara::knowledge::KnowledgeBaseImpl::clear	(	const std::string &	key,
		const KnowledgeReferenceSettings &	settings = `KnowledgeReferenceSettings ()`
	)

inline

Clears a variable.

This is safer than erasing the variable. It clears the memory used in the variable and marks it as UNCREATED, meaning that it is effectively deleted, will not show up in

See also: print statements or; save_checkpoint.

Parameters

key	unique identifier of the variable
settings	settings for referring to variables

Returns: true if variable exists

Definition at line 421 of file KnowledgeBaseImpl.inl.

void madara::knowledge::KnowledgeBaseImpl::clear ( bool erase = false )

inline

Clears the knowledge base.

This is a very unsafe operation if erase is set to true. Setting erase to true could cause operations that were using the variable in CompiledExpression or VariableReference to fail catastrophically (e.g., illegal operation and segfaults) due to accessing memory that is no longer initialized. The absolute only reason you should ever set erase to true would be if you have absolutely no intention of using a CompiledExpression or VariableReference that had been previously accessing the memory, and that includes all of the knowledge::containers classes also!

Parameters

erase If true, completely erase keys. If false, reset knowledge

Definition at line 428 of file KnowledgeBaseImpl.inl.

void madara::knowledge::KnowledgeBaseImpl::clear_map ( void )

inline

Clears the knowledge base.

Definition at line 434 of file KnowledgeBaseImpl.inl.

void madara::knowledge::KnowledgeBaseImpl::clear_modifieds ( void )

inline

Clear all modifications to the knowledge base.

This action may be useful if you are wanting to keep local changes but not inform other agents (possibly due to a need to further process and verify the information). The knowledge stays in its current form (i.e., this does not roll back state or anything like that)

Definition at line 691 of file KnowledgeBaseImpl.inl.

void madara::knowledge::KnowledgeBaseImpl::clear_rules ( void )

Clears the permanent knowledge rules (unimplemented)

void madara::knowledge::KnowledgeBaseImpl::close_transport ( void )

Closes the transport mechanism so no dissemination is possible.

Definition at line 198 of file KnowledgeBaseImpl.cpp.

CompiledExpression madara::knowledge::KnowledgeBaseImpl::compile ( const std::string & expression )

Compiles a KaRL expression into an expression tree.

Parameters

expression expression to compile

Returns: compiled, optimized expression tree

Definition at line 220 of file KnowledgeBaseImpl.cpp.

void madara::knowledge::KnowledgeBaseImpl::copy	(	const KnowledgeBaseImpl &	source,
		const KnowledgeRequirements &	reqs
	)

inline

Copies variables and values from source to this context.

PERFORMANCE NOTES: predicates with prefixes can limit copying to O(log n). predices with suffixes and no prefix force O(n) copy cost since all records could fit requirements

Parameters

source	the source context to copy from
reqs	requirements that must be met

Definition at line 269 of file KnowledgeBaseImpl.inl.

void madara::knowledge::KnowledgeBaseImpl::copy	(	const KnowledgeBaseImpl &	source,
		const CopySet &	copy_set = `CopySet ()`,
		bool	clean_copy = `false`
	)

inline

Copies variables and values from source to this context.

PERFORMANCE NOTES: worst case depends on size of copy_set. If empty, performance is always O (n), where n is number of variables in the source context. If copy_set is not empty, then performance is O (m log n) where m is the number of variables in copy_set and n is number of variables in the source context.

Note that this is a deep copy due to the fact that source and destination are expected to have their own thread management (ref-counted variables can be problematic if shallow copy).

Parameters

source	the source knowledge base to copy from
copy_set	a map of variables that should be copied. If empty, then everything is copied. If not empty, only the supplied variables will be copied.
clean_copy	if true, clear the destination context (this) before copying.

Definition at line 277 of file KnowledgeBaseImpl.inl.

This is useful for understanding the logical hierarchy of your variables (and also a key utility of containers like

See also: containers::FlexMap).

Parameters

prefix	Text that must be present at the front of the key
delimiter	Text that signifies a logical boundary in hierarchy If empty, no check is performed.
suffix	Text that must be present at the end of the key. If empty, no check is performed.
next_keys	The immediate keys in the hierarchy after prefix

void madara::knowledge::KnowledgeBaseImpl::to_string	(	std::string &	target,
		const std::string &	array_delimiter = `","`,
		const std::string &	record_delimiter = `";\n"`,
		const std::string &	key_val_delimiter = `"="`
	)		const

inline

Saves all keys and values into a string, using the underlying knowledge::KnowledgeRecord::to_string function.

This is an optimized version that allows the specification of a target string to avoid string copying (which can be expensive with longer strings across multiple function boundaries). This function differs from knowledge::KnowledgeRecord to_string in that it is intended to save the database in a format that can be easily parseable. Consequently, strings are delineated in this function by being included in single quotes. Arrays are delineated with array indices [].

This is not appropriate for saving the context if it has binary data inside of it, as only the size of the data entry would be saved.

Parameters

target	where to store the resulting string operation.
array_delimiter	for any arrays, the characters in between data elements.
record_delimiter	the characters to place between individual key/value pairs
key_val_delimiter	the characters to place between keys and values.

Definition at line 403 of file KnowledgeBaseImpl.inl.

size_t madara::knowledge::KnowledgeBaseImpl::to_vector	(	const std::string &	subject,

Fills a vector with Knowledge Records that begin with a common subject and have a finite range of integer values.

Parameters

subject	The common subject of the variable names. For instance, if we are looking for a range of vars like "var0", "var1", "var2", then the common subject would be "var".
start	An inclusive start index
end	An inclusive end index
target	The vector that will be filled with Knowledge Record instances within the subject range.

Returns: entries in the resulting vector
