2.2.2 : Register Methods

Registering a method before calling it can avoid a lot of mistakes during development. Methods are defined by the PFunctionPrototype class.

It can be created by hand by specifying type and name manually : 
1
2
3
4

PFunctionPrototype prototype;
prototype.setName("pompe");
prototype.getVecReturnType().push_back(phoenix_getComposeType<bool>());
prototype.getVecParam().push_back(phoenix_getComposeType<int>());


And converted to std::string with ts_protoTypeToStr; Or fully automatically with : 
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

///Some very interesting function to call
/**	@param val : some very important value
 * 	@return some very important result
*/
bool pompe(int val){
	return val > 0;
}

//Inside a function
PFunctionPrototype prototype = phoenix_getPrototype("pompe", pompe);


Then, the call can be registered with the manager : 
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12

#include "phoenix_control.h"

typedef PAbstractControlManager<std::string, PMockControlBackend, PMockControlBackend> ConnectorManager;

///Some very interesting function to call
/**	@param val : some very important value
 * 	@return some very important result
*/
bool pompe(int val){
	return val > 0;
}


//Inside a function
ConnectorManager manager;
manager.addClientConnector("Alice", "localhost", phoenix_mockControlParam(false, "mock_call", PLog::DEBUG));
//Register the call
manager.registerCall("Alice", phoenix_getPrototype("pompe", pompe));


At this point, it is possible to call the method pompe on the client/server Alice.
