An internal signal was initialized wrongly, and due to various
other reasons (testbench bug, to_integer conversion bug) was not picked
up by the testbenches.
Since the Type Specific user facing entities did not actually wrap the
DDS entities, but connected to them through port signals, a more
semantically correct name would be "interface", since they are the user
facing interface of the DDS entities.
Since we disabled the 'expectsInlineQoS' Flag due to Cyclone DDS
compatibility, we no longer have access to the lifespan of the remote
writers.
The Endpoint Match Format was changed to also send the Lifespan Duration
from the rtps_builtin_endpoint.
ACK HANDLING
------------
If there are no remote reliable reader endpoints the new Cache Changes
are immediately ACKed/removed from the HC.
Internal Global ACK SN is set to SEQUENCENUMBER_UNKNOWN, and
only initialized on first reliable remote reader endpoint.
If all remote reliable reader endpints are unmatched the internal Global
ACK SN is set to SEQUENCENUMBER_UNKNOWN and all Cache Changes are
ACKed/removed from the HC.
PUSH MODE
---------
Historical DATA is no longer send on remote endpoint match, if PUSH mode
is FALSE.
TESTBENCH
---------
Level 1 Test2 of rtps_writer was split into 2 tests.
Until now the rtps_builtin_endpoint was using the last parsed Locator as
the Locator of choice.
The rtps_builtin_endpoint was extended with a PREFER_MULTICAST boolean
generic that allows to influence which locators are used.
Test1 of rtps_builtin_endpoint was split in two, to test both settings
of the generic.
Until now it was assumed that a serialized key is the PLAIN_CDR2
Big Endian encoding of a <TYPENAME>KeyHolder Object [DDS_XTYPES v1.3, 7.6.8]
(I.e. the same blob that computes the MD5 key hash).
Taking other DDS implementations as reference (e.g. Cyclone DDS), it
seems they are using a normal Payload containing a KeyHolder(<TYPENAME>)
Object [DDS_XTYPES v1.3, 7.2.2.4.7] as the serialized key.
The Key Holder Template (together with the Type1 and Type2
implementations) were updated to reflect this change.
A bug fix were the Key Hash was not reset on a 'PUSH_SERIALIZED_KEY'
opcode was also fixed (together with the testbench).
Using seperately compiled Libraries we interconnect two systems, and
test their communication and interaction.
A bug in rtps_builtin_endpoint was fixed (were if only the SUB data was
to be sent, it was never actually sent).
By connecting the output of the writer_wrapper to the input of the
reader_wrapper we can effectively test the encoding/decoding.
Since the writer_wrapper only uses Big Endian we cannot test Little
Endian handling.
Backport Memory Controller and Memory FSM from RTPS/DDS Endpoints to
RTPS Builtin Endpoint.
The Memory is now using a single linked list and the FSM uses Frame Field
Flags.
The main FSM uses check_time to initiate stale checks, and the stale
checks are done in the main FSM.
Testbench was modified to accomodate the changes (Previous L0 Test4 was
removed and integrated in L0 Test 1).
The REMOVE_WRITER DDS Operation of DDS Reader now generates Samples if
the Instance State changes.
Updated testbench.
Added checks for DATA_AVAILABLE communication status.
Test Sample Rejected Status Handling.
Test GET_SAMPLE_REJECTED_STATUS DDS Operation.
Extend Sample Rejected Status Kind by REJECTED_BY_PAYLOAD_MEMORY_LIMIT
Test the DDS READ, TAKE, READ_NEXT_SAMPLE, TAKE_NEXT_SAMPLE,
READ_INSTANCE, TAKE_INSTANCE, READ_NEXT_INSTANCE, TAKE_NEXT_INSTANCE
Operations.
Backport fixes to previous testbenches.
Change handling of DISPOSE Samples of unknown Instances.
Test RTPS GET_MIN_SN, GET_MAX_SN, GET_CACHE_CHANGE, REMOVE_CACHE_CHANGE,
ACK_CACHE_CHANGE, and NACK_CACHE_CHANGE Operations.
Test DDS Register, Unregister, Write, Dispose, and Lookup Instance
Operations.
Tests are added for different Generics Settings (Durability,
Reliability, Keyed Topic).
Test 2 of RTPS Reader (User Tarffic Handling) is extended with a few
extra test cases.
