manpagedescription()
This class offers the features of the bf(std::istream) class, operating on
shared memory.
includefile(include/namespace)
manpagesection(INHERITS FROM)
bf(FBB::ISharedBuf) (private inheritance),nl()
bf(std::istream),nl()
bf(FBB::SharedEnum__) (cf. bf(sharedmemory(3bobcat)) for a description of
this last base class).
manpagesection(SIZEUNIT ENUMERATION)
The bf(enum SizeUnit) defines the following symbolic constants:
itemization(
it() bf(kB), representing 1024 (2**10) bytes of memory;
it() bf(MB), representing 1048576 (2**20) bytes of memory;
it() bf(GB), representing 1073741824 (2**30) bytes of memory
)
manpagesection(CONSTRUCTORS)
itemization(
itb(ISharedStream())
The default constructor defines a stub a bf(ISharedStream) object that
cannot immediately be used to access shared memory. To use it, its
member tt(open) must first be called.
itb(ISharedStream(size_t maxSize, SizeUnit sizeUnit,
std::ios::openmode openMode = std::ios::in,
size_t access = 0600))
This constructor creates an tt(std::istream) that interfaces to a
shared memory segment having a capacity of at least tt(maxSize *
sizeUnit) bytes. By default, the shared memory segment is opened for
reading. Different from the open modes used for file streams, creating
a shared memory stream with open modes tt(ios::in) is OK. In this case
the shared memory segment is created and once information has been
written to the shared memory by another process (or object) the
information can be read. The shared memory's access rights are defined
by the tt(access) parameter, using the well-known (bf(chmod)(1)) way
to define the access rights for the owner, the group and others, using
octal digits. If construction succeeds the shared memory is ready for
use. If construction fails, an tt(FBB::Exception) is thrown.
itb(ISharedStream(int id, std::ios::openmode openMode = std::ios::in))
This constructor creates an tt(std::istream) that connects to a shared
memory segment having ID tt(id). If construction succeeds the shared
memory is ready for use. If construction fails (e.g., no shared memory
segment having ID tt(id) exists), an tt(FBB::Exception) is thrown.
)
Copy and move constructors (and assignment operators) are not available.
manpagesection(MEMBER FUNCTIONS)
All members of tt(std::istream), and the tt(enum) values tt(kB, MB), and
tt(GB), defined by tt(FBB::ISharedEnum__) are available.
itemization(
itb(FBB::SharedCondition attachSharedCondition(std::ios::off_type offset,
std::ios::seekdir origin))
Returns an bf(FBB::SharedCondition)(3) object, interfacing to a shared
condition variable located at offset tt(offset) (relative to
tt(origin)) in the tt(SharedMemory) object to which the
bf(ISharedStream) object interfaces. This member does not alter the
value returned by the stream's tt(tellg) member.
An tt(FBB::Exception) is thrown if the tt(FBB::SharedCondition) object
could not be constructed.
COMMENT(
itb(FBB::SharedCondition createSharedCondition())
Returns an bf(FBB::SharedCondition)(3) object, interfacing to a newly
created shared condition variable which is created at the current
offset of the tt(SharedMemory) object to which the bf(ISharedStream)
object interfaces (or at the first offset of the next physical shared
memory data block, cf. bf(sharedcondition)(3bobcat)). Creating a
tt(SharedCondition) object does not alter the value returned by the
stream's tt(tellg) member.
Note that this member em(changes)
the information within the object's tt(SharedMemory) substrate, which
is somewhat counter-intuitive for an em(std::istream) type of stream.
An tt(FBB::Exception) is thrown if the tt(FBB::SharedCondition) object
could not be constructed.
END)
itb(int id() const)
The ID of the shared memory segment is returned.
itb(void kill())
Without locking the shared memory first, all shared memory is returned
to the operating system. The bf(FBB::ISharedStream) object is unusable
after returning from tt(kill). Other processes that were using the
shared memory can continue to do so.
itb(void memInfo(std::ostream &out, char const *end = "\n"))
Information about the tt(ISharedMemory) object is inserted into the
provide tt(ostream) object. The IDs of the shared segments, their
sizes, the maximum number of shared memory segments, the number of
bytes that can be read from the shared memory, and its actual storage
capacity, etc., are displayed. Following the information about the
shaed memory, tt(end) is inserted into tt(out).
itb(void open(size_t maxSize, SizeUnit sizeUnit,
std::ios::openmode openMode = std::ios::in,
size_t access = 0600))
This member creates a shared memory segment having a capacity of at
least tt(maxSize * sizeUnit) bytes, and connects the shared memory
segment to the bf(FBB::ISharedStream). A matching tt(close) member
does not exist and is not required. By default, the shared memory
segment is opened for reading. Different from the open modes used for
file streams, creating a shared memory stream with open modes
tt(ios::in) is OK. In this case the shared memory segment is created
and once information has been written to the shared memory by another
process it can be read. The shared memory's access rights are defined
by the tt(access) parameter, using the well-known (bf(chmod)(1)) way
to define the access rights for the owner, the group and others, using
octal digits. If opening succeeds the shared memory is ready for
use. If opening fails, an tt(FBB::Exception) is thrown.
itb(void open(int id, std::ios::openmode openMode = std::ios::in))
This member connects the bf(FBB::ISharedStream) object to a shared
memory segment having ID tt(id). A matching tt(close) member does
not exist and is not required. If opening succeeds the shared
memory is ready for use. If opening fails (e.g., no shared memory
segment having ID tt(id) exists), an tt(FBB::Exception) is
thrown.
itb(void remove())
The shared memory is first locked. Next, all shared memory is returned
to the operating system. The bf(FBB::ISharedStream) object is unusable
after returning from tt(remove). Other processes that were using the
shared memory can continue to do so.
itb(bool truncate(std::streamsize offset))
If tt(offset) is not exceeding the value returned by tt(seekg(0,
std::ios::end)), then this latter value is changed to tt(offset) and
tt(true) is returned. Otherwise tt(false) is returned, and the value
returned by tt(seekg) is not altered. If the value returned by
tt(tellg) exceeded tt(offset), tt(tellg)'s return value it is reduced
to tt(offset) as well. Subsequent read operations on the shared memory
can only succeed as long as tt(tellg)'s return value hasn't reached
the value tt(offset).

manpagebugs()
Note that by default exceptions thrown from within a bf(std::stream)
object are caught by the stream object, setting its tt(ios::failbit) flag. To
allow exceptions to leave a stream object, its tt(exceptions) member can be
called, e.g., using:
verb(
myStream.exceptions(ios::failbit | ios::badbit | ios::eofbit);
