The ready/valid Signals were missing from the DDS Reader and Writer Interfaces,
preventing the user from effectively using non-Type dependent operations
(like GET_OFFERED_DEADLINE_MISSED_STATUS).
The L1_Type1_test1 was extended to test for this non-type dependent operation.
rtps_writer now can be configured to simulate multiple endpoints. All
Testbenched were modified to reflect and test this change.
Packages were extended with array definitions.
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.
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.
The REGISTER_INSTANCE and LOOKUP_INSTANCE DDS Writer Operations return
an Instance Handle. Until now this instance Handle was returned via the
Data output interface of the dds_writer (ready_out, valid_out,
data_out_last_word_out).
This was changed, so that the dds_writer directly outputs the Instance
Handle via a dedicated port while asserting the done Signal.
This has the result that the <TYPENAME>_writer_wrapper no longer
"exports" data out signals from the dds_writer.
All relevant instantiations and testcases are changed accordingly
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).
