Member Function Documentation

◆ add_actor_factory()

actor_system_config & caf::actor_system_config::add_actor_factory ( std::string  name,
actor_factory  fun 
)

Allows other nodes to spawn actors created by fun dynamically by using name as identifier.

Attention
This feature is experimental.

◆ add_actor_type() [1/2]

template<class T , class... Ts>
actor_system_config & caf::actor_system_config::add_actor_type ( std::string  name)

Allows other nodes to spawn actors of type T dynamically by using name as identifier.

Attention
This feature is experimental.

◆ add_actor_type() [2/2]

template<class F >
actor_system_config & caf::actor_system_config::add_actor_type ( std::string  name,
f 
)

Allows other nodes to spawn actors implemented by function f dynamically by using name as identifier.

Attention
This feature is experimental.

◆ c_args_remainder()

std::pair< int, char ** > caf::actor_system_config::c_args_remainder ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the remainder including the program name (argv[0]) suitable for passing the returned pair of arguments to C-style functions that usually accept (argc, argv) input as passed to main.

This function creates the necessary buffers lazily on first call.

Note
The returned pointer remains valid only as long as the actor_system_config object exists.

◆ parse_config() [1/3]

static expected< settings > caf::actor_system_config::parse_config ( std::istream &  source)
static

Parses the content of source using CAF's config format.

Parameters
sourceCharacter sequence in CAF's config format.
Returns
A settings dictionary with the parsed content of source on success, an ::error otherwise.

◆ parse_config() [2/3]

static expected< settings > caf::actor_system_config::parse_config ( std::istream &  source,
const config_option_set opts 
)
static

Parses the content of source using CAF's config format.

Also type-checks user-defined parameters in opts.

Parameters
sourceCharacter sequence in CAF's config format.
optsUser-defined config options for type checking.
Returns
A settings dictionary with the parsed content of source on success, an ::error otherwise.

Parses the content of source using CAF's config format and stores all entries in result (overrides conflicting entries).

Also type-checks user-defined parameters in opts.

Parameters
sourceCharacter sequence in CAF's config format.
optsUser-defined config options for type checking.
resultStorage for parsed entries. Note that result will contain partial results if this function returns an error.
Returns
A default-constructed ::error on success, the error code of the parser otherwise.

◆ parse_config_file() [1/3]

static expected< settings > caf::actor_system_config::parse_config_file ( const char *  filename)
static

Tries to open filename and parses its content as CAF config file.

Returns
A settings dictionary with the parsed content of filename on success, an ::error otherwise.

◆ parse_config_file() [2/3]

static expected< settings > caf::actor_system_config::parse_config_file ( const char *  filename,
const config_option_set opts 
)
static

Tries to open filename and parses its content as CAF config file.

Also type-checks user-defined parameters in opts.

Parameters
filenameRelative or absolute path to the config file.
optsUser-defined config options for type checking.
Returns
A settings dictionary with the parsed content of filename on success, an ::error otherwise.

◆ parse_config_file() [3/3]

static error caf::actor_system_config::parse_config_file ( const char *  filename,
const config_option_set opts,
settings result 
)
static

Tries to open filename, parses its content as CAF config file and stores all entries in result (overrides conflicting entries).

Also type-checks user-defined parameters in opts.

Parameters
filenameRelative or absolute path to the config file.

Member Data Documentation

◆ cli_helptext_printed

bool caf::actor_system_config::cli_helptext_printed

Stores whether the help text was printed.

If set to true, the application should not use this config to initialize an actor_system and instead return from main immediately.

◆ profiler

actor_profiler* caf::actor_system_config::profiler = nullptr

Provides system-wide callbacks for several actor operations.

Attention
This feature is experimental.
Note
Has no effect unless building CAF with CAF_ENABLE_ACTOR_PROFILER.

◆ tracing_context

tracing_data_factory* caf::actor_system_config::tracing_context = nullptr

Enables CAF to deserialize application-specific tracing information.

Attention
This feature is experimental.
Note
Has no effect unless building CAF with CAF_ENABLE_ACTOR_PROFILER.
