API

dmMessage::Result

Type: ENUM Result enum

Members

• RESULT_OK - = 0
• RESULT_SOCKET_EXISTS - = -1
• RESULT_SOCKET_NOT_FOUND - = -2
• RESULT_SOCKET_OUT_OF_RESOURCES - = -3
• RESULT_INVALID_SOCKET_NAME - = -4
• RESULT_MALFORMED_URL - = -5
• RESULT_NAME_OK_SOCKET_NOT_FOUND - = -6

dmMessage::StringURL

Type: STRUCT Helper struct for parsing a string of the form “socket:path#fragment”

Notes

• The sizes do not include the null character. There is no null character since the dmMessage::ParseURL is non destructive.

Members

• m_Socket (const char*) - The socket
• m_SocketSize (uint32_t) - The socket length
• m_Path (const char*) - The path
• m_PathSize (uint32_t) - The path length
• m_Fragment (const char*) - The fragment
• m_FragmentSize (uint32_t) - The fragment length

dmMessage::URL

Type: STRUCT URL specifying a sender/receiver of messages

Notes

• Currently has a hard limit of 32 bytes
• This struct is a part of the save file APi (see script_table.cpp)

dmMMessage::MessageDestroyCallback

Type: TYPEDEF A callback for messages that needs cleanup after being dispatched. E.g. for freeing resources/memory.

GetFragment

Type: FUNCTION Get the message fragment

Parameters

• url (dmMessage::URL) - url

Returns

• fragment (dmhash_t)

GetPath

Type: FUNCTION Get the message path

Parameters

• url (dmMessage::URL) - url

Returns

• path (dmhash_t)

GetSocket

Type: FUNCTION Get the message socket

Parameters

• url (dmMessage::URL) - url

Returns

• socket (dmMessage::HSocket)

GetSocketName

Type: FUNCTION Get socket name

Parameters

• socket (dmMessage::HSocket) - Socket

Returns

• name (const char*) - socket name. 0 if it was not found

GetSocketNameHash

Type: FUNCTION Get socket name hash

Parameters

• socket (dmMessage::HSocket) - Socket

Returns

• name_hash (dmhash_t) - socket name hash. 0 if it was not found

HSocket

Type: TYPEDEF Socket handle

IsSocketValid

Type: FUNCTION Tests if a socket is valid (not deleted).

Parameters

• socket (dmMessage::HSocket) - Socket

Returns

• result (bool) - if the socket is valid or not

Message

Type: STRUCT

Message

Type: STRUCT Message data desc used at dispatch callback. When a message is posted, the actual object is copied into the sockets internal buffer.

Members

• m_Sender (dmMessage::URL) - Sender uri
• m_Receiver (dmMessage::URL) - Receiver uri
• m_Id (dmhash_t) - Unique id of message
• m_UserData1 (uintptr_t) - User data pointer
• m_UserData2 (uintptr_t) - User data pointer
• m_Descriptor (uintptr_t) - User specified descriptor of the message data
• m_DataSize (uint32_t) - Size of message data in bytes
• m_Next (dmMessage::Message*) - Ptr to next message (or 0 if last)
• m_DestroyCallback (dmMessage::MessageDestroyCallback) - If set, will be called after each dispatch
• m_Data (uint8_t*) - Payload

ParseUrl

Type: FUNCTION Convert a string to a URL struct

Notes

• No allocation occurs, thus no cleanup is needed.

Parameters

• uri (const char*) - string of the format ][path[#fragment]
• out (dmMessage::StringUrl) - url in string format, must not be 0x0

Returns

• - - RESULT_OK on success
• RESULT_MALFORMED_URL if the uri could not be parsed

ResetUrl

Type: FUNCTION Resets the given URL to default values.

Notes

• Previously the URL wasn’t reset in the constructor and certain calls to ResetURL might currently be redundant

Parameters

• url (dmMessage::URL) - URL to reset

SetFragment

Type: FUNCTION Set the message fragment

Parameters

• url (dmMessage::URL) - url
• fragment (dmhash_t)

SetPath

Type: FUNCTION Set the message path

Parameters

• url (dmMessage::URL) - url
• path (dmhash_t)

SetSocket

Type: FUNCTION Set the socket

Parameters

• url (dmMessage::URL) - url
• socket (dmMessage::HSocket)
