Member Function Documentation

◆ receiver()

inline

Retrieve the message receiver.

Returns
The message receiver

◆ registerMessageType()

Message::Type libcamera::Message::registerMessageType ( )
static

Reserve and register a custom user-defined message type.

Custom message types use values starting at Message::UserMessage. Assigning custom types manually may lead to accidental duplicated types. To avoid this problem, this function reserves and returns the next available user-defined message type.

The recommended way to use this function is to subclass Message and provide a static accessor for the custom message type.

class MyCustomMessage : public Message
{
public:
MyCustomMessage() : Message(type()) {}
{
static MessageType type = registerMessageType();
return type;
}
};
Returns
A new unique message type

◆ type()

libcamera::Message::type ( ) const
inline

Retrieve the message type.

Returns
The message type
