- Extend the multipart API to allow sending vectors of messages or helper
thin wrapper FairMQParts. See example in examples/MQ/8-multipart.
- NewMessage() can be used in devices instead of
fTransportFactory->CreateMessage().
Possible arguments remain unchanged (no args, size or data+size).
- Send()/Receive() methods can be used in devices instead of
fChannels.at("chan").at(i).Send()/Receive():
Send(msg, "chan", i = 0), Receive(msg, "chan", i = 0).
- Use the new methods in MQ examples and tests.
- No breaking changes, but FAIRMQ_INTERFACE_VERSION is incremented to 3
to allow to check for new methods.
- Add FlatBuffers serialization example to Tutorial 3
- Add MessagePack serialization example to Tutorial 3
- Performance improvements in Boost serialization example
- Use `GetEntriesFast()` for FairTestDetectorRecoTask
- Use `Clear()` instead of `Delete()` in MQ parts of Tutorial 3
- Fix CMake variables from preventing compilation without nanomsg.
- create macro/data directories in install directory
- Get rid of data duplication in fill_parameters.C
- Various cleanups and fixes
- Remove the compile time check of the transport implementation.
The transport (zeromq/nanomsg) can be chosen at run time with:
`device.SetTransport("zeromq"); // possible values are "zeromq" and "nanomsg"`.
For devices that use FairMQProgOptions, the transport can be configured via cmd option:
`--transport zeromq` or `--transport nanomsg`. Default values is "zeromq".
The device receives the configured value with:
`device.SetTransport(config.GetValue<std::string>("transport"));`
Old method of setting transport still works. But the NANOMSG constant is not defined.
- Remove old `fairmq/prototest` directory. It was only used as a test for protobuf.
The protobuf part of Tutorial3 does the same (with different values).
- Fix a bug in FairMQPollerNN, where the `revents` value was not initialized.
This caused the `poller->CheckOutput()` to trigger when it should not.
Fix Weffc++ warnings
- Add missing copy constructors and assignment operators .
- Hide the warning from FairMQStateMachine.h where it is produced by boost and/or is intended.
- Some code cleanup.
- Move general config files out of example directory to fairmq/run.
- Use FairMQProgOptions for MQ example 5.
- Add SendPartAsync() for non-blocking send of a message part.
Both FairMQLogger and FairMQStateMachine use Boost Fusion internaly.
Because the state machine needs FUSION_MAX_VECTOR_SIZE 20 defined,
same value has to be defined in the logger, otherwise Fusion is not
properly compiled.
- FairMQ: add possibility to poll on multiple channels.
- FairMQ: include command channel when polling on blocking calls (for unblocking without termination).
- FairMQ: move signal handler inside of FairMQDevice class (call FairMQDevice::CatchSignals() in the main function).
- FairMQ: add 'bool CheckCurrentState(statename)' (instead of 'GetCurrentState() == statename' that cannot be thread safe).
- FairMQDevice: add 'InteractiveStateLoop()' method that can be used to change states from the command line.
- FairMQDevice: add automatic transition to IDLE state if Run() exits without an external event.
- FairMQDevice: implement device reset.
- FairMQDevice: use unordered_map for device channels.
- FairMQChannel: improve address validation for channels.
- FairMQChannel: add ExpectsAnotherPart() method to check if another msg part is expected (old approach still works).
- FairMQ: remove invalid transition from the run files.
- FairMQFileSink: disable ROOT termination signal handler.
- Tutorial3: spawn xterm windows from start scripts without overlapping for better visibility.
- FairMQ Examples: update protobuf test and move its files to a common directory.
- FairMQStateMachine: improve feedback on invalid transitions (more readable).
a) move the XML parser into the FairMQ/options/FairMQParser.h
b) add a routine in FairMQProgOption to check whether the necessary XML or JSON input files are there, and send an error message if not there
- Policy based devices:
a) rename GenericSampler to base_GenericSampler and use an alias template named GenericSampler
b) in base_GenericSampler, rename template parameter to simple variables <T,U,… > and use typedef for clarity
c) introduce an anonymous function container in the base_GenericSampler host class with a register task template member function and an Executetasks()
d) add two new template parameters in base_GenericSampler for the anonymous function container map. parameter is K for the key type (default=int) and L for the value type (default=std::function<void()>)
- Tutorial7:
a) use FairMQProgOption to configure devices in tutorial7
b) introduce several template functions helper in tutorial7 to reduce code redundancy
c) show examples in tutorial7 of task registration with callback and lambda expression for the sampler devices
d) separate the executable build of the tutorial7 data generator to remove the Roofit banner when executing the MQdevices
