Updated OpenDDS Developer's Guide

Features added and bugs/fixes in this release include:

Features added:

  • implements FACE Transport Services API v2.1, FACE safety base and FACE safety extended profiles (Future Airborne Capability Environment)
  • implements DDS 1.4 and RTPS 2.2
  • support allocations from memory pool in safety profile builds. Introduced standard library containers and strings, as well as TAO sequences that allocate from this pool
  • to support FACE TS, the IDL struct DDS::SampleInfo has a new field "opendds_reserved_publication_seq" as an extension to the DDS specification
  • updated opendds_idl for FACE support, moving some of the code-generation from tao_idl to opendds_idl when targeting FACE TS
  • Support IDL fixed type inside of DCPS_DATA_TYPE (used with FACE TS)
  • Type-specific DataWriterImpl and DataReaderImpl are now templates
  • Code generation now introduces a typedef of these
  • Content filtering now supports modulus (MOD) operator as an extension
  • Added a static (configuration-based) discovery mechanism
  • RTPS Discovery is now supported when OpenDDS is built without built-in topics
  • RTPS Discovery has a new configuration parameter SedpLocalAddress which configures the rtps_udp transport used internally by discovery in the same way that local_address configures a user-created rtps_udp transport instance
  • Support non-default liveliness QOS in rtps_udp transport
  • Support wait_for_acknowledgements in rtps_udp transport
  • Support command line option -DCPSRTISerialization when integrating with RTI DDS using RTPS, to account for a different serialization algorithm
  • Configure script handles some cross-compile builds and safety profile
  • Support for new Visual Studio compilers (vc11, vc12, and vc14)
  • Support for clang builds on Mac OS X
  • Removed support for old GCC compilers (
  • opendds_idl command-line option -Gitl is a replacement for -Gws. Wireshark dissector now reads ITL files, rather than .ini files

Fixes:

  • fixed many tests for minimum profile builds
  • enforced correct behavior of a reliable data writer when history QoS is set to KEEP_LAST with depth=1
  • opendds_idl can now be specified in user_macros.GNU instead of always assuming it is in $DDS_ROOT/bin (for -type gnuace builds)
  • fixed initial IPv6 support in windows builds
  • fixed disassociate handling of local entities on loopback interface
  • corrected wait_for_acknowedgements for non-reliable writers to return success immediately
  • allow disassociating readers to finish processing messages from active writer before removing
  • remove TcpDataLink from DataLinkSet when connect() fails. Previously, the datalink would remain and would be seen as a fully-connected datalink by new associations
  • DCPSTransportDebugLevel 1 messages are now association-oriented
  • fixed durable resend out-of-order handling for rtps_udp transport
  • fixed handling of acknowledgements during shutdown of rtps_udp data link
  • RTPS Discovery now ignores 'RTPX' messages seen during RTI integration
  • dissection of unions in wireshark dissector (requires ITL)
  • corrected reference counting scheme for Recorder and Replayer objects: the reference-counted handle types changed from _rch to _var
