Member Function Documentation

create()

virtual DeviceDriver* yarp::dev::DriverCreator::create ( ) const

pure virtual

Create a device.

Implemented in yarp::dev::StubDriverCreator, yarp::dev::DriverCreatorOf< T >, and yarp::dev::DriverLinkCreator.

getCode()

virtual std::string yarp::dev::DriverCreator::getCode ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the name of the C++ class associated with this device.

Returns

the name of the C++ class associated with this device.

Implemented in yarp::dev::StubDriverCreator, yarp::dev::DriverCreatorOf< T >, and yarp::dev::DriverLinkCreator.

getName()

virtual std::string yarp::dev::DriverCreator::getName ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the common name of the device.

Returns

the common name of the device this creates.

Implemented in yarp::dev::StubDriverCreator, yarp::dev::DriverCreatorOf< T >, and yarp::dev::DriverLinkCreator.

getWrapper()

virtual std::string yarp::dev::DriverCreator::getWrapper ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the common name of a device that can wrap this one.

Returns

the common name of the device that can wrap this one for the network.

Implemented in yarp::dev::StubDriverCreator, yarp::dev::DriverCreatorOf< T >, and yarp::dev::DriverLinkCreator.

owner()

virtual PolyDriver* yarp::dev::DriverCreator::owner ( )

inlinevirtual

For "links" to other devices.

Default implementation returns NULL, which is correct for all real devices talking to hardware.

Returns

the object managing the device.

Reimplemented in yarp::dev::DriverLinkCreator.

Definition at line 76 of file Drivers.h.

toString()

virtual std::string yarp::dev::DriverCreator::toString ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns a simple description of devices the factory can make.

Returns

a description of what this factory makes

Implemented in yarp::dev::StubDriverCreator, yarp::dev::DriverCreatorOf< T >, and yarp::dev::DriverLinkCreator.
