Detailed Description

This category includes classes related to the C++ Micro Services component.

The C++ Micro Services component provides a dynamic service registry based on the service layer as specified in the OSGi R4.2 specifications.

Macro Definition Documentation

#define US_DECLARE_SERVICE_INTERFACE (   _service_interface_type,
  _service_interface_id 
)

Declare a CppMicroServices service interface.

This macro associates the given identifier _service_interface_id (a string literal) to the interface class called _service_interface_type. The Identifier must be unique. For example:

#include <usServiceInterface.h>
struct ISomeInterace { ... };
US_DECLARE_SERVICE_INTERFACE(ISomeInterface, "com.mycompany.service.ISomeInterface/1.0")

This macro is normally used right after the class definition for _service_interface_type, in a header file.

If you want to use US_DECLARE_SERVICE_INTERFACE with interface classes declared in a namespace then you have to make sure the US_DECLARE_SERVICE_INTERFACE macro call is not inside a namespace though. For example:

#include <usServiceInterface.h>
namespace Foo
{
struct ISomeInterface { ... };
}
US_DECLARE_SERVICE_INTERFACE(Foo::ISomeInterface, "com.mycompany.service.ISomeInterface/1.0")
Parameters
_service_interface_typeThe service interface type.
_service_interface_idA string literal representing a globally unique identifier.
#define US_EXPORT_MODULE_ACTIVATOR (   _module_libname,
  _activator_type 
)

Export a module activator class.

Parameters
_module_libnameThe physical name of the module, without prefix or suffix.
_activator_typeThe fully-qualified type-name of the module activator class.

Call this macro after the definition of your module activator to make it accessible by the CppMicroServices library.

Example:

class MyActivator : public ModuleActivator
{
public:
void Load(ModuleContext* /*context*/)
{ /* register stuff */ }
void Unload(ModuleContext* /*context*/)
{ /* cleanup */ }
};
US_EXPORT_MODULE_ACTIVATOR(mylibname, MyActivator)
Note
If you use this macro in a source file compiled into an executable, additional requirements for the macro arguments apply:
  • The _module_libname argument must match the value of _module_name used in the US_INITIALIZE_MODULE macro call.
#define US_IMPORT_MODULE (   _import_module_libname)

Import a static module.

Parameters
_import_module_libnameThe physical name of the module to import, without prefix or suffix.

This macro imports the static module named _import_module_libname.

Inserting this macro into your application's source code will allow you to make use of a static module. Do not forget to list the imported module when calling the macro US_LOAD_IMPORTED_MODULES and to actually link the static module to the importing executable or shared library.

Example:

#include <usModuleImport.h>
US_IMPORT_MODULE(MyStaticModule)
US_LOAD_IMPORTED_MODULES(HostingModule, MyStaticModule)

US_LOAD_IMPORTED_MODULES
Static Modules
#define US_IMPORT_MODULE_RESOURCES (   _import_module_libname)

Import a static module's resources.

Parameters
_import_module_libnameThe physical name of the module to import, without prefix or suffix.

This macro imports the resources of the static module named _import_module_libname.

Inserting this macro into your application's source code will allow you to make use of the resources embedded in a static module. Do not forget to list the imported module when calling the macro US_LOAD_IMPORTED_MODULES and to actually link the static module to the importing executable or shared library.

#define US_INITIALIZE_EXECUTABLE (   _executable_id)

Creates initialization code for an executable.

Each executable which wants to register itself with the CppMicroServices library has to put a call to this macro in one of its source files. This ensures that the executable will get its own ModuleContext instance and can access the service registry.

Example call for an executable:

US_INITIALIZE_EXECUTABLE("my_executable")

This will initialize the executable for use with the CppMicroServices library, using a default auto-load directory named after the provided executable id in _executable_id.

See Also
MicroServices_AutoLoading
Remarks
If you are using CMake, consider using the provided CMake macro usFunctionGenerateExecutableInit().
Parameters
_executable_idA valid C identifier for the executable (no spaces etc.).
#define US_INITIALIZE_MODULE (   _module_name,
  _module_libname 
)

Creates initialization code for a module.

Each module which wants to register itself with the CppMicroServices library has to put a call to this macro in one of its source files.

Example call for a module with file-name "libmylibname.so":

US_INITIALIZE_MODULE("My Service Implementation", "mylibname")

This will initialize the module for use with the CppMicroServices library, using a default auto-load directory named after the provided library name in _module_libname.

See Also
MicroServices_AutoLoading
Remarks
If you are using CMake, consider using the provided CMake macro usFunctionGenerateModuleInit().
Parameters
_module_nameA human-readable name for the module. If you use this macro in a source file for an executable, the module name must be a valid C-identifier (no spaces etc.).
_module_libnameThe physical name of the module, withou prefix or suffix.
Note
If you want to create initialization code for an executable, see US_INITIALIZE_EXECUTABLE.
#define US_LOAD_IMPORTED_MODULES (   _module_libname,
  _static_modules 
)

Import a list of static modules into a shared library.

Parameters
_module_libnameThe physical name of the importing module, without prefix or suffix.
_static_modulesA space-deliminated list of physical module names, without prefix or suffix.

This macro ensures that the ModuleActivator::Load(ModuleContext*) function is called for each imported static module when the importing shared library is loaded (if the static module provides an activator). If the static module provides embedded resources and the US_IMPORT_MODULE_RESOURCES macro was called, the resources will be made available through the importing module.

There must be exactly one call of this macro in the shared library which is importing static modules.

Example:

#include <usModuleImport.h>
US_IMPORT_MODULE(MyStaticModule)
US_LOAD_IMPORTED_MODULES(HostingModule, MyStaticModule)
See Also
US_IMPORT_MODULE
US_LOAD_IMPORTED_MODULES_INTO_MAIN
Static Modules
#define US_LOAD_IMPORTED_MODULES_INTO_MAIN (   _static_modules)

Import a list of static modules into an executable.

Parameters
_static_modulesA space-deliminated list of physical module names, without prefix or suffix.

This macro ensures that the ModuleActivator::Load(ModuleContext*) function is called for each imported static module when the importing executable is loaded (if the static module provides an activator). If the static module provides embedded resources and the US_IMPORT_MODULE_RESOURCES macro was called, the resources will be made available through the importing module.

There must be exactly one call of this macro in the executable which is importing static modules.

Example:

#include <usModuleImport.h>
US_IMPORT_MODULE(MyStaticModule1)
US_IMPORT_MODULE(MyStaticModule2)
US_LOAD_IMPORTED_MODULES_INTO_MAIN(MyStaticModule1 MyStaticModule2)
