unexpected_character 

Parser stopped after reading an unexpected character.

timespan_overflow 

Parsed integer exceeds the number of available bits of a timespan.

fractional_timespan

exponent_underflow 

Exponent of parsed double is less than the minimum supported exponent.

exponent_overflow 

Exponent of parsed double is greater than the maximum supported exponent.

type_mismatch 

Parsed type does not match the expected type.

not_an_option 

Stopped at an unrecognized option name.

invalid_argument 

Stopped at an unparsable argument.

missing_argument 

Stopped because an argument was omitted.

invalid_category 

Stopped because the key of a category was taken.

invalid_field_name 

Stopped at an unexpected field name while reading a user-defined type.

repeated_field_name 

Stopped at a repeated field name while reading a user-defined type.

missing_field 

Stopped while reading a user-defined type with one or more missing mandatory fields.

invalid_range_expression 

Parsing a range statement ('n..m' or 'n..m..step') failed.

invalid_state 

Stopped after running into an invalid parser state.

Should never happen and most likely indicates a bug in the implementation.

nested_too_deeply 

Parser stopped after exceeding its maximum supported level of nesting.

◆ sec

enum class caf::sec : uint8_t
strong

SEC stands for "System Error Code".

This enum contains error codes for ::actor_system and its modules.

Enumerator
none 

No error.

Function Documentation

◆ deep_to_string()

template<class T >
std::string caf::deep_to_string ( const T &  x)

Unrolls collections such as vectors/maps, decomposes tuples/pairs/arrays, auto-escapes strings and calls to_string for user-defined types via argument-dependent loopkup (ADL).

Any user-defined type that does not provide a to_string is mapped to <unprintable>.

◆ default_enum_inspect()

template<class Inspector , class Enumeration >
bool caf::default_enum_inspect ( Inspector &  f,
Enumeration &  x 
)

Convenience function for providing a default inspection scaffold for custom enumeration types.

The enumeration type must provide the following interface based on free functions:

{(cpp)}
enum class Enumeration : ... { ... };
std::string to_string(Enumeration);
bool from_string(string_view, Enumeration&);
bool from_integer(std::underlying_type_t<Enumeration>, Enumeration&);

◆ find_by_long_name()

template<class ForwardIterator , class Sentinel >
std::pair< ForwardIterator, std::string_view > caf::find_by_long_name ( const config_option x,
ForwardIterator  first,
Sentinel  last 
)

Finds config_option string with a matching long name in (first, last], where each entry is a pointer to a string.

Returns a ForwardIterator to the match and a string_view of the option value if the entry is found and a ForwardIterator to last with an empty string_view otherwise.

◆ init_global_meta_objects()

template<class ProjectIds >
void caf::init_global_meta_objects ( )

Initializes the global meta object table with all types in ProjectIds.

Warning
calling this after constructing any ::actor_system is unsafe and causes undefined behavior.

◆ init_global_meta_objects_impl()

template<class ProjectIds , uint16_t... Is>
void caf::init_global_meta_objects_impl ( std::integer_sequence< uint16_t, Is... >  )
Warning
calling this after constructing any ::actor_system is unsafe and causes undefined behavior.

◆ make_action()

template<class F >
action caf::make_action ( f)

Convenience function for creating an action from a function object.

Parameters
fThe body for the action.

◆ make_mtl()

template<class Self , class Adapter , class Reader >
auto caf::make_mtl ( Self *  self,
Adapter  adapter,
Reader *  reader 
)

Creates an MTL (message translation layer) to enable an actor to exchange messages with non-CAF endpoints over a user-defined data exchange format such as JSON.

Parameters
selfPoints to an event-based or blocking actor.
adapterTranslates between internal and external message types.
readerPoints to an object that either implements the interface deserializer directly or that provides a compatible API.

◆ make_single_shot_action()

template<class F >
action caf::make_single_shot_action ( f)

Convenience function for creating an action from a function object.

Parameters
fThe body for the action.

◆ put()

template<class T >
config_value & caf::put ( settings xs,
std::string_view  key,
T &&  value 
)

Converts value to a config_value and assigns it to key.

Parameters
xsDictionary of key-value pairs.
keyHuman-readable nested keys in the form category.key.
valueNew value for given key.

◆ put_dictionary()

CAF_CORE_EXPORT config_value::dictionary & caf::put_dictionary ( settings xs,
std::string  name 
)

Inserts a new list named name into the dictionary xs and returns a reference to it.

Overrides existing entries with the same name.

◆ put_list()

CAF_CORE_EXPORT config_value::list & caf::put_list ( settings xs,
std::string  name 
)

Inserts a new list named name into the dictionary xs and returns a reference to it.

Overrides existing entries with the same name.

◆ put_missing()

template<class T >
void caf::put_missing ( settings xs,
std::string_view  key,
T &&  value 
)

Converts value to a config_value and assigns it to key unless xs already contains key (does nothing in this case).

Parameters
xsDictionary of key-value pairs.
keyHuman-readable nested keys in the form category.key.
valueNew value for given key.

◆ split_by()

CAF_CORE_EXPORT std::pair< std::string_view, std::string_view > caf::split_by ( std::string_view  str,
std::string_view  sep 
)

Splits a string by a separator into a head and a tail.

If sep was not found, the tail is empty.

◆ typed_actor_view_flow_access()

template<class T >
auto caf::typed_actor_view_flow_access ( caf::scheduled_actor *  self)

Utility function to force the type of self to depend on T and to raise a compiler error if the user did not include 'caf/scheduled_actor/flow.hpp'.

The function itself does nothing and simply returns self.

◆ invalid_type_id

constexpr type_id_t caf::invalid_type_id = 65535
constexpr

Special value equal to the greatest possible value for type_id_t.

Generally indicates that no type ID for a given type exists.
