OmniPvdWriter
Defined in pvdruntime/include/OmniPvdWriter.h
-
class OmniPvdWriter
Used to write debug information to an OmniPvdWriteStream.
Allows the registration of OmniPVD classes and attributes, in a similar fashion to an object oriented language. A registration returns a unique identifier or handle.
Once classes and attributes have been registered, one can create for example object instances of a class and set the values of the attributes of a specific object.
Objects can be grouped by context using the context handle. The context handle is a user-specified handle which is passed to the set functions and object creation and destruction functions.
Each context can have its own notion of time. The current time of a context can be exported with calls to the startFrame and stopFrame functions.
Public Functions
-
inline virtual ~OmniPvdWriter()
-
virtual void setLogFunction(OmniPvdLogFunction logFunction) = 0
Sets the log function to print the internal debug messages of the OmniPVD API.
- Parameters
logFunction – The function pointer to receive the log messages
-
virtual void setWriteStream(OmniPvdWriteStream &writeStream) = 0
Sets the write stream to receive the API command stream.
- Parameters
writeStream – The OmniPvdWriteStream to receive the stream of API calls/notifications
-
virtual OmniPvdWriteStream *getWriteStream() = 0
Gets the pointer to the write stream.
- Returns
A pointer to the write stream
-
virtual OmniPvdClassHandle registerClass(const char *className, OmniPvdClassHandle baseClassHandle = 0) = 0
Registers an OmniPVD class.
Returns a unique handle to a class, which can be used to register class attributes and express object lifetimes with the createObject and destroyObject functions. Class inheritance can be described by calling registerClass with a base class handle. Derived classes inherit the attributes of the parent classes.

- Parameters
className – The class name
baseClassHandle – The handle to the base class. This handle is obtained by pre-registering the base class. Defaults to 0 which means the class has no parent class
- Returns
A unique class handle for the registered class
-
virtual OmniPvdAttributeHandle registerEnumValue(OmniPvdClassHandle classHandle, const char *attributeName, OmniPvdEnumValueType value) = 0
Registers an enum name and corresponding value for a pre-registered class.
Registering enums happens in two steps. First, registerClass() is called with the name of the enum. This returns a class handle, which is used in a second step for the enum value registration with registerEnumValue(). If an enum has multiple values, registerEnumValue() has to be called with the different values.
Note that enums differ from usual classes because their attributes, the enum values, do not change over time and there is no need to call setAttribute().
See also
- Parameters
classHandle – The handle from the registerClass() call
attributeName – The name of the enum value
value – The value of the enum value
- Returns
A unique attribute handle for the registered enum value
-
virtual OmniPvdAttributeHandle registerAttribute(OmniPvdClassHandle classHandle, const char *attributeName, OmniPvdDataType::Enum attributeDataType, uint32_t nbElements) = 0
Registers an attribute.
The class handle is obtained from a previous call to registerClass(). After registering an attribute, one gets an attribute handle which can be used to set data values of an attribute with setAttribute(). All attributes are treated as arrays, even if the attribute has only a single data item. Set nbElements to 0 to indicate that the array has a variable length.

- Parameters
classHandle – The handle from the registerClass() call
attributeName – The attribute name
attributeDataType – The attribute data type
nbElements – The number of elements in the array. Set this to 0 to indicate a variable length array
- Returns
A unique attribute handle for the registered attribute
-
virtual OmniPvdAttributeHandle registerFlagsAttribute(OmniPvdClassHandle classHandle, const char *attributeName, OmniPvdClassHandle enumClassHandle) = 0
Registers an attribute which is a flag.
Use this function to indicate that a pre-registered class has a flag attribute, i.e., the attribute is a pre-registered enum.
The returned attribute handle can be used in setAttribute() to set an object’s flags.

- Parameters

The returned attribute handle can be used in setAttribute() to set an object’s class attribute.

- Parameters
classHandle – The handle from the registerClass() call of the class
attributeName – The attribute name

virtual void setAttribute(OmniPvdContextHandle contextHandle, OmniPvdObjectHandle objectHandle, const OmniPvdAttributeHandle *attributeHandles, uint8_t nbAttributeHandles, const uint8_t *data, uint32_t nbrBytes) = 0
Sets an attribute value.
Since an attribute can be part of a nested construct of class attributes, the method expects an array of attribute handles as input to uniquely identify the attribute.
See also
- Parameters
contextHandle – The user-defined context handle for grouping objects
objectHandle – The user-defined unique handle of the object. E.g. its physical memory address
attributeHandles – The attribute handles containing all class attribute handles of a nested class construct. The last one has to be the handle from the registerUniqueListAttribute() call.
nbAttributeHandles – The number of attribute handles provided in attributeHandles
data – The pointer to the data of the element(s) to remove from the set
nbrBytes – The number of bytes to be written
-
inline void setAttribute(OmniPvdContextHandle contextHandle, OmniPvdObjectHandle objectHandle, OmniPvdAttributeHandle attributeHandle, const uint8_t *data, uint32_t nbrBytes)
Sets an attribute value.
See other setAttribute method for details. This special version covers the case where the attribute is not part of a class attribute construct.

virtual void createObject(OmniPvdContextHandle contextHandle, OmniPvdClassHandle classHandle, OmniPvdObjectHandle objectHandle, const char *objectName) = 0
Creates an object creation event.
Indicates that an object is created. One can freely choose a context handle for grouping objects.
The class handle is obtained from a registerClass() call. The object handle should be unique, but as it’s not tracked by the OmniPVD API, it’s important this is set to a valid handle such as the object’s physical memory address.
The object name can be freely choosen or not set.
Create about object destruction event by calling destroyObject().
