Member Function Documentation

◆ receiver()

libcamera::Message::receiver ( ) const

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 Message::Type 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
