Detailed Description

template<class T, class Time>
class dynamicgraph::Signal< T, Time >

Signals link I/O ports of entities. They can be constant-valued signals, or copy the value of a heap variable, or evaluated as a function. See SignalPtr and SignalTimeDependent for other types of signals, and SignalArray for a way of grouping them.

There are several ways to specify the value output by a signal:

  • using the function setConstant(T) to set the value of the signal to T;
  • using the function setReference(mutex, T*) to set the value from a pointer, whose access is restricted by a mutex;
  • using the function setFunction(boost::function2) that will be called when the signal's value is accessed.

◆ checkCompatibility()

virtual void checkCompatibility ( )
inlinevirtual

checkCompatibility is used to get the object contained in the signal. This used to verify if a dynamic cast is possible or not.
