/** \brief Mixin to provide standard implementations for nextPacketRange and nextPacketType
- This mixin class simplifies the definition of simple packets with fixed-size headers and/or
- trailers. For this type of Packet, this mixin provides the nextPacketRange() member. If you
+ This mixin class simplifies the definition of simple packets:
+
+ \li The packets consist of three sections: The header, the payload and an optional trailer.
+ \li If the packet has a trailer, both the header and the trailer must have a fixed size.
+
+ This mixin provides the nextPacketRange() member as well as initSize() and init(). If you
additionally provide the optional \a Registry argument, PacketTypeMixin provides a simple
- implementation of nextPacketType. When using the PacketTypeMixin, the implementation of a
- packet is simplified to:

+
+ When using the PacketTypeMixin, the implementation of a packet is simplified to:
\code
// Here 'SomeRegistryTag' is optional

// Write out a readable representation of the packet for debug purposes

- Most of the members are optional, which reduces the implementation of a fixed-sized header
- packet with no trailer and a simple next-packet header to
+ Most of the members are optional, which reduces the minimal implementation of a packet to:
\code
struct SimplePacketType
- : public senf::PacketTypeBase
- public senf:PacketTypeMixin<SimplePacketType, SomeRegistryTag>
+ : public senf::PacketTypeBase,
+ public senf::PacketTypeMixin<SimplePacketType, SomeRegistryTag>
{
typedef senf::PacketTypeMixin<SimplePacketType, SomeRegistryTag> mixin;
typedef senf::ConcretePacket<SimplePacketType> packet;
using mixin::nextPacketRange;
using mixin::nextPacketType;
using mixin::initSize;
- using mixin::init;
+ using mixin::init;
- static registry_key_t nextPacketKey(packet p)
- { return i.fields().typeField(); }
+ // 'typeField()' is one of the fields defined in the parser which holds
+ // the next-header information
+
+ static key_t nextPacketKey(packet p) { return p->typeField(); }
+ static void finalize(packet p) { p->typeField() << key(p.next(senf::nothrow)); }
+
+ static void dump(packet p) {
+ // should always be implemented although optional
+ }
};
\endcode
- If needed, you may additionally add a \c finalize() member. You also should add a \c dump()
- member to help debugging but both members are optional.
