Data Source

|
===========
|
|
|
|
The low-level API through which a `pvxs::server::Server` may issue requests on behalf of remote clients. ::
|
|
|
|
#include <pvxs/server.h>
|
|
namespace pvxs { namespace server { ... } }
|
|
|
|
The `pvxs::server::SharedPV` API should be preferred when a Server has a predetermined set of PV names.
|
|
|
|
The `pvxs::server::Source` interface is a more general, and complex, means of allowing a Server
|
|
to respond to PV names as clients search for them.
|
|
This may be necessary in specialized cases such as gateway, proxy, or bridge servers.
|
|
|
|
Threading
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
The `pvxs::server::Source::onSearch` and `pvxs::server::Source::onCreate` callbacks may be invoked concurrently.
|
|
All callbacks stored through a `pvxs::server::ChannelControl` and related \*Op will be serialized.
|
|
|
|
Ownership and Lifetime
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
The \*Op classes are interfaces through which callback functors are passed.
|
|
These functors are stored in underlying, and otherwise hidden, server data structures.
|
|
Therefore, it is safe to eg. capture a ``shared_ptr<ExecOp>`` into an ``onCancel``
|
|
functor without creating a reference loop.
|
|
|
|
The lifetime of these server data structures are tied to the remote client.
|
|
So variables captured into a functor like `pvxs::server::ConnectOp::onGet`, or onCancel,
|
|
will be destroyed when the client times out, closes the channel, or closes the operation.
|
|
Also when the server side forces channel closure via `pvxs::server::ConnectOp::close`.
|
|
The various \*Close callbacks may also be used if explicit cleanup is needed on
|
|
certain conditions.
