Detailed Description

Protocol and transport events.

Typedef Documentation

◆ pn_event_t

typedef struct pn_event_t pn_event_t

Notification of a state change in the protocol engine.

The AMQP endpoint state modeled by the protocol engine is captured by the following object types: Deliveries , Links , Sessions , Connections , and Transports . These objects are related as follows:

  • Deliveries always have a single parent Link
  • Links always have a single parent Session
  • Sessions always have a single parent Connection
  • Connections optionally have at most one associated Transport
  • Transports optionally have at most one associated Connection

Every event has a type (see pn_event_type_t) that identifies what sort of state change has occurred along with a pointer to the object whose state has changed (as well as its associated objects).

Events are accessed by creating a Collector with pn_collector() and registering it with the Connection of interest through use of pn_connection_collect(). Once a collector has been registered, pn_collector_peek() and pn_collector_pop() are used to access and process events.

◆ pn_collector_t

An event collector.

A pn_collector_t may be used to register interest in being notified of high level events that can occur to the various objects representing AMQP endpoint state. See pn_event_t for more details.

Events of this type point to the relevant delivery.

PN_TRANSPORT 

The transport has new data to read and/or write.

Events of this type point to the relevant transport.

PN_TRANSPORT_AUTHENTICATED 

The transport has authenticated.

If this is received by a server the associated transport has authenticated an incoming connection and pn_transport_get_user() can be used to obtain the authenticated user.

PN_TRANSPORT_ERROR 

Indicates that a transport error has occurred.

Use pn_transport_condition() to access the details of the error from the associated transport.

PN_TRANSPORT_HEAD_CLOSED 

Indicates that the "head" or writing end of the transport has been closed.

This means the transport will never produce more bytes for output to the network. Events of this type point to the relevant transport.

PN_TRANSPORT_TAIL_CLOSED 

Indicates that the tail of the transport has been closed.

This means the transport will never be able to process more bytes from the network. Events of this type point to the relevant transport.

PN_TRANSPORT_CLOSED

Events of this type point to the relevant transport.

PN_CONNECTION_WAKE

PN_LISTENER_ACCEPT 

Indicates the listener has an incoming connection, call pn_listener_accept2() to accept it.

Events of this type point to the pn_listener_t.

PN_LISTENER_CLOSE 

Indicates the listener has closed.

pn_listener_condition() provides error information. Events of this type point to the pn_listener_t.

PN_PROACTOR_INTERRUPT 

Indicates pn_proactor_interrupt() was called to interrupt a proactor thread.

Events of this type point to the pn_proactor_t.

PN_PROACTOR_TIMEOUT 

Timeout set by pn_proactor_set_timeout() time limit expired.

Events of this type point to the pn_proactor_t.

PN_PROACTOR_INACTIVE 

The proactor has become inactive: all listeners and connections were closed and the timeout (if set) expired or was cancelled.

There will be no further events unless new listeners or connections are opened, or a new timeout is set (possibly in other threads in a multi-threaded program.)

Events of this type point to the pn_proactor_t.

PN_LISTENER_OPEN 

The listener is listening.

Events of this type point to the pn_listener_t.

PN_RAW_CONNECTION_CONNECTED 

The raw connection connected.

Now would be a good time to give the raw connection some buffers to read bytes from the underlying socket. If you don't do it now you will get PN_RAW_CONNECTION_NEED_READ_BUFFERS (and PN_RAW_CONNECTION_NEED_WRITE_BUFFERS) events when the socket is readable (or writable) but there are not buffers available.

Events of this type point to a pn_raw_connection_t

PN_RAW_CONNECTION_CLOSED_READ 

The remote end of the raw connection closed the connection so that we can no longer read.

When both this and PN_RAW_CONNECTION_CLOSED_WRITE event have occurred then the PN_RAW_CONNECTION_DISCONNECTED event will be generated.

Events of this type point to a pn_raw_connection_t

PN_RAW_CONNECTION_CLOSED_WRITE 

The remote end of the raw connection closed the connection so that we can no longer write.

When both this and PN_RAW_CONNECTION_CLOSED_READ event have occurred then the PN_RAW_CONNECTION_DISCONNECTED event will be generated.

Events of this type point to a pn_raw_connection_t

PN_RAW_CONNECTION_DISCONNECTED 

The raw connection is disconnected.

No more bytes will be read or written on the connection. Every buffer in use will already either have been returned using a PN_RAW_CONNECTION_READ or PN_RAW_CONNECTION_WRITTEN event. This event will always be the last for this raw connection, and so the application can clean up the raw connection at this point.

Events of this type point to a pn_raw_connection_t

PN_RAW_CONNECTION_NEED_READ_BUFFERS 

The raw connection might need more read buffers.

The connection is readable, but the connection has no buffer to read the bytes into. If you supply some buffers now maybe you'll get a PN_RAW_CONNECTION_READ event soon, but no guarantees.

This event is edge triggered and you will only get it once until you give the raw connection some more read buffers.

Events of this type point to a pn_raw_connection_t

PN_RAW_CONNECTION_NEED_WRITE_BUFFERS 

The raw connection might need more write buffers.

The connection is writable but has no buffers to write. If you give the raw connection something to write using pn_raw_connection_write_buffers the raw connection can write them. It is not necessary to wait for this event before sending buffers to write, but it can be used to aid in flow control (maybe).

This event is edge triggered and you will only get it once until you give the raw connection something more to write.

Events of this type point to a pn_raw_connection_t

PN_RAW_CONNECTION_READ 

The raw connection read bytes: The bytes that were read are in one of the read buffers given to the raw connection.

This event will be sent if there are bytes that have been read in a buffer owned by the raw connection and there is no PN_RAW_CONNECTION_READ event still queued.

When a connection closes all read buffers are returned to the application using PN_RAW_CONNECTION_READ events with empty buffers.

Events of this type point to a pn_raw_connection_t

PN_RAW_CONNECTION_WRITTEN 

The raw connection has finished a write and the buffers that were used are no longer in use and can be recycled.

This event will be sent if there are buffers that have been written still owned by the raw connection and there is no PN_RAW_CONNECTION_WRITTEN event currently queued.

When a connection closes all write buffers are returned using PN_RAW_CONNECTION_WRITTEN events.

Events of this type point to a pn_raw_connection_t

PN_RAW_CONNECTION_WAKE 

The raw connection was woken by pn_raw_connection_wake.

Events of this type point to a pn_raw_connection_t

PN_RAW_CONNECTION_DRAIN_BUFFERS 

The raw connection is returning all the remaining buffers to the application.

The raw connection is about to disconnect and shutdown. To avoid leaking the buffers the application must take the buffers back used pn_raw_connection_take_read_buffers and pn_raw_connection_take_write_buffers.

Events of this type point to a pn_raw_connection_t

Function Documentation

◆ pn_event_type_name()

const char* pn_event_type_name ( pn_event_type_t  type)

Get a human readable name for an event type.

Parameters
[in]typean event type
Returns
a human readable name
Examples
broker.c, direct.c, receive.c, and send.c.

◆ pn_collector()

pn_collector_t* pn_collector ( void  )

Construct a collector.

A collector is used to register interest in events produced by one or more pn_connection_t objects. Collectors are not currently thread safe, so synchronization must be used if they are to be shared between multiple connection objects.

◆ pn_collector_free()

void pn_collector_free ( pn_collector_t collector)

Free a collector.

Parameters
[in]collectora collector to free, or NULL

◆ pn_collector_release()

void pn_collector_release ( pn_collector_t collector)

Release a collector.

Once in a released state a collector will drain any internally queued events (thereby releasing any pointers they may hold), shrink it's memory footprint to a minimum, and discard any newly created events.

Parameters
[in]collectora collector object

◆ pn_collector_drain()

void pn_collector_drain ( pn_collector_t collector)

Drain a collector: remove and discard all events.

Parameters
[in]collectora collector object

◆ pn_collector_put()

pn_event_t* pn_collector_put ( pn_collector_t collector,
const pn_class_t *  clazz,
void *  context,
pn_event_type_t  type 
)

Place a new event on a collector.

This operation will create a new event of the given type and context and return a pointer to the newly created event. In some cases an event of the given type and context can be elided. When this happens, this operation will return a NULL pointer.

Parameters
[in]collectora collector object
[in]clazzclass of the context
[in]contextthe event context
[in]typethe event type
Returns
a pointer to the newly created event or NULL if the event was elided

◆ pn_collector_peek()

pn_event_t* pn_collector_peek ( pn_collector_t collector)

Access the head event contained by a collector.

This operation will continue to return the same event until it is cleared by using pn_collector_pop. The pointer return by this operation will be valid until pn_collector_pop is invoked or pn_collector_free is called, whichever happens sooner.

Parameters
[in]collectora collector object
Returns
a pointer to the head event contained in the collector

◆ pn_collector_pop()

bool pn_collector_pop ( pn_collector_t collector)

Remove the head event on a collector.

Parameters
[in]collectora collector object
Returns
true if the event was popped, false if the collector is empty

◆ pn_collector_next()

pn_event_t* pn_collector_next ( pn_collector_t collector)

Pop and return the head event, returns NULL if the collector is empty.

The returned pointer is valid till the next call of pn_collector_next().

Parameters
[in]collectora collector object
Returns
the next event.

◆ pn_collector_prev()

pn_event_t* pn_collector_prev ( pn_collector_t collector)

Return the same pointer as the most recent call to pn_collector_next().

Parameters

Returns
a pointer to the event returned by previous call to pn_collector_next()

◆ pn_collector_more()

bool pn_collector_more ( pn_collector_t collector)

Check if there are more events after the current head event.

If this returns true, then pn_collector_peek() will return an event even after pn_collector_pop() is called.

Parameters
