Expand description

A sample data type may be Keyed : It allows a Key to be extracted from the sample. In its simplest form, the key may be just a part of the sample data, but it can be anything computable from a sample by an application-defined function.

The key is used to distinguish between different Instances of the data in a DDS Topic.

A Keyed type has an associated type K, which is the actual key type. K must implement Key. Otherwise, K can be chosen to suit the application. It is advisable that K is something that can be cloned with reasonable effort.

Implementations on Foreign Types

Key for a reference type &D is the same as for the value type D. This is required internally for the implementation of NoKey topics.
