Detailed Description

A LCM interface for logging LCM messages to a file or playing back from a existing log.

Note the user is responsible for offsetting the clock used to generate the log and the clock used for playback. For example, if the log is generated by some external logger (the lcm-logger binary), which uses the unix epoch time clock to record message arrival time, the user needs to offset those timestamps properly to match and the clock used for playback.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ DrakeLcmLog() [1/3]

DrakeLcmLog ( const DrakeLcmLog & )

delete

◆ DrakeLcmLog() [2/3]

DrakeLcmLog ( DrakeLcmLog && )

delete

◆ DrakeLcmLog() [3/3]

DrakeLcmLog	(	const std::string &	file_name,
		bool	is_write,
		bool	overwrite_publish_time_with_system_clock = `false`
	)

Constructs a DrakeLcmLog.

Parameters

file_name	Log's file name for reading or writing.
is_write	If false, this instance reads from the Lcm log identified by `file_name`. If true, this instance writes to the Lcm log whose name is given by `file_name`.
overwrite_publish_time_with_system_clock	This parameter only affects the Publish method in write-only mode. If true, override the `second` parameter passed to Publish method, and use host system's clock to generate the timestamp for the logged message. This is used to mimic lcm-logger's behavior. It also implicitly records how fast the messages are generated in real time.

Exceptions

std::exception if unable to open file.

◆ ~DrakeLcmLog()

~DrakeLcmLog ( )

override

Member Function Documentation

◆ DispatchMessageAndAdvanceLog()

void DispatchMessageAndAdvanceLog ( double current_time )

Let MSG be the next message event in the log, if current_time matches MSG's timestamp, for every DrakeLcmMessageHandlerInterface sub that's subscribed to MSG's channel, invoke sub's HandleMessage method.

Then, this function advances the log by exactly one message. This function does nothing if MSG is null (end of log) or current_time does not match MSG's timestamp.

Exceptions

std::exception if this instance is not constructed in read-only mode.

◆ get_lcm_url()

std::string get_lcm_url ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns a URL describing the transport of this LCM interface.

When the URL refers to a transport offered by LCM itself (e.g., memq or udpm), then this function must return the conventional URL spelling. If the implementation of DrakeLcmInterface is using a non-standard back end, the result implementation-defined.

In either case, it is always formatted using URI syntax rules per the RFC(s).

Implements DrakeLcmInterface.

◆ GetNextMessageTime()

double GetNextMessageTime ( ) const

Returns the time in seconds for the next logged message's occurrence time or infinity if there are no more messages in the current log.

Exceptions

std::exception if this instance is not constructed in read-only mode.

◆ HandleSubscriptions()

int HandleSubscriptions ( int )

overridevirtual

This is a no-op for Read mode, and an exception in Write mode.

Implements DrakeLcmInterface.

◆ is_write()

bool is_write ( ) const

Returns true if this instance is constructed in write-only mode.

◆ operator=() [1/2]

DrakeLcmLog& operator= ( DrakeLcmLog && )

delete

◆ operator=() [2/2]

DrakeLcmLog& operator= ( const DrakeLcmLog & )

delete

◆ Publish()

void Publish	(	const std::string &	channel,
		const void *	data,
		int	data_size,
		std::optional< double >	time_sec
	)

overridevirtual

Writes an entry occurred at timestamp with content data to the log file.

The current implementation blocks until writing is done.

Parameters

channel	Channel name.
data	Pointer to raw bytes.
data_size	Number of bytes in `data`.
time_sec	Time in seconds when the message is published. Since messages are save to the log file in the order of Publish calls, this function should only be called with non-decreasing `second`. Note that this parameter can be overwritten by the host system's clock if `overwrite_publish_time_with_system_clock` is true at construction time.

Exceptions

std::exception if this instance is not constructed in write-only mode.

Implements DrakeLcmInterface.

◆ second_to_timestamp()

uint64_t second_to_timestamp ( double sec ) const

Converts time (in seconds) relative to the starting time passed to the constructor to a timestamp in microseconds.

◆ Subscribe()

std::shared_ptr<DrakeSubscriptionInterface> Subscribe	(	const std::string &	channel,
		HandlerFunction	handler
	)

overridevirtual

Subscribes handler to channel.

Multiple handlers can subscribe to the same channel.

Exceptions

std::exception if this instance is not constructed in read-only mode.

Returns: nullptr because this implementation does not support unsubscribe.

Implements DrakeLcmInterface.

◆ SubscribeAllChannels()

std::shared_ptr<DrakeSubscriptionInterface> SubscribeAllChannels ( MultichannelHandlerFunction )

overridevirtual

Subscribe to all channels; this is useful for logging and redirecting LCM traffic without regard to its content.

Exceptions

std::exception if this instance is not constructed in read-only mode.

Returns: nullptr because this implementation does not support unsubscribe.

Implements DrakeLcmInterface.

◆ SubscribeMultichannel()

std::shared_ptr<DrakeSubscriptionInterface> SubscribeMultichannel	(	std::string_view	regex,
		MultichannelHandlerFunction
	)

overridevirtual

This function is not yet supported for LCM logs, and will always throw.

Implements DrakeLcmInterface.

◆ timestamp_to_second()

double timestamp_to_second ( uint64_t timestamp ) const

Converts timestamp (in microseconds) to time (in seconds) relative to the starting time passed to the constructor.
