/** \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() and
- nextPacketType() members:
+ 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:
\code
+ // Here 'SomeRegistryTag' is optional
struct SimplePacketType
- : public senf::PacketTypeBase
- pyblic senf:PacketTypeMixin<SimplePacketType, SomeRegistryTag>
+ : public senf::PacketTypeBase,

{
- static interpreter::size_type initSize()
- {
- // This member is optional. If it is not defined, 'senf::init_size<parser>::value'
- // will be returned.
+ typedef senf::PacketTypeMixin<SimplePacketType, SomeRegistryTag> mixin;
+ typedef senf::ConcretePacket<SimplePacketType> packet;
+ typedef SomePacketParser parser;
- // The value returned is the length of the header if initHeadSize() is not defined.
- // If initHeadSize is defined, this value is the combined size of the header
- // and trailer while initHeadSize() will return the size of the header only.
- return packet_size;
+ using mixin::nextPacketRange;
+ using mixin::nextPacketType; // Only if the optional 'Registry' argument is provided
+ using mixin::initSize;
+ using mixin::init;
+
+ static key_t nextPacketKey(packet p)
+ {
+ // Return the key in the registry under which the next packet
+ // header is to be found. This member must be given if a Registry argument is
+ // passed to the PacketTypeMixin template.
+ return p->typeField();
}
-
+
+ static void finalize(packet p)
+ {
+ // Set the type field by querying the type of the next packet. This is an
+ // optional assignment: If the key is not found, the value returned by 'key'
+ // is an empty optional and the assignment will be skipped.
+ p->typeField << key(p.next(senf::nothrow));
+
+ // optionally complete the packet by generating auto-generated information
+ // (like checksums)
+ }
+
+ static void dump(packet p, std::ostream & os)
+ {
+ // Write out a readable representation of the packet for debug purposes
+ }
+
static interpreter::size_type initHeadSize()
{
- // This member is optional. It returns the header size if the packet has a
+ // This member is optional. It returns the \e fixed header size if the packet has a
// trailer.
return header_size;
}
- static registry_key_t nextPacketKey(packet p)
- {
- // Return the key in the registry under which the next packet
- // header is to be found. This member must be given if a Registry argument is
- // passed to the PacketTypeMixin template.
- return i.fields().typeField();
+ };

+
+ Most of the members are optional, which reduces the minimal implementation of a packet to:
+
+ \code
+ struct SimplePacketType
+ : public senf::PacketTypeBase,

+ {

+ // 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)); }
