CoreDX DDS Tips & Tricks


Welcome to this month's edition of CoreDX DDS Tips & Tricks, where our engineers provide quick bits of information to help our customers.

Decoding QoS ID's

A The DDS API for learning about QoS mismatches provide a DDS_QosPolicyID_t - basically a number. On it's own, not very useful to is humans to determine what's not matching.

With CoreDX DDS, the list of QoSPolicyId_t numbers to useful strings can be found in the dds_const.h header file.

In addition, CoreDX DDS provides helper routines to turn a QoSPolicyId_t number to a printable string. For example, in 'C', you might put the following code in your on_offered_incompatible_qos() listener function:

        DDS_Topic         top = NULL;
        const char      * topic_name;
        const char      * policy_str = DDS_qos_policy_str(status.last_policy_id);

        topic_name               = "unkn";
        if (writer)   top        = DDS_DataWriter_get_topic(writer);
        if (top)      topic_name = DDS_Topic_get_name(top);

        printf("%s(%s): Incompatible QoS Offered : last policy: %s\n",
                __FUNCTION__,
                topic_name,
                policy_str); 

CoreDX DDS Tips & Tricks are intended to be useful for engineers using CoreDX DDS. If you have any questions, please contact us.
