SampleInfo (DDS 1.4 §2.2.2.5.1) — per-sample metadata.

Filled by the DataReader in the take/read path. Application code is meant to rely on these fields to:

• distinguish new samples from re-read ones (sample_state),
• detect new instances (view_state == NEW),
• observe lifecycle events (instance_state, valid_data == false),
• follow reordering / generation changes (*_generation_count, *_rank).

Fields

sample_state: SampleStateKind

Sample-State (READ / NOT_READ).

view_state: ViewStateKind

View-State (NEW / NOT_NEW).

instance_state: InstanceStateKind

Instance-State (ALIVE / NOT_ALIVE_*).

disposed_generation_count: i32

How many times the instance has gone through NOT_ALIVE_DISPOSED → ALIVE since its first sample.

no_writers_generation_count: i32

How many times the instance has gone through NOT_ALIVE_NO_WRITERS → ALIVE since its first sample.

sample_rank: i32

Number of samples in the same instance that follow this one in the cache (§2.2.2.5.1.5).

generation_rank: i32

Difference in generation_count between this sample and the last sample of the instance in the same read set.

absolute_generation_rank: i32

Difference in generation_count between this sample and the current generation count.

source_timestamp: Time

Wall-clock time of the write/dispose/unregister.

instance_handle: InstanceHandle

Local handle of the instance.

publication_handle: InstanceHandle

Local handle of the sending DataWriter (HANDLE_NIL in the offline / unknown case).

valid_data: bool

true if the sample carries payload; false for a plain dispose/unregister marker (§2.2.2.5.1.13).

Implementations

impl SampleInfo

pub fn new_alive( instance: InstanceHandle, publication: InstanceHandle, timestamp: Time, ) -> Self

Constructs a default info block for a fresh sample of a new instance with valid_data = true.

pub fn matches_states( &self, sample_mask: u32, view_mask: u32, instance_mask: u32, ) -> bool

Checks whether this SampleInfo is accepted by the given state masks (spec §2.2.2.5.3.1, read_w_condition).
