How to stable convert char* to TAO::String_Manager_T<char>


I used OpenDDS's (DDS_HOME/tests/DCPS/Messenger) Publisher and Subscriber example.

In that source code, I just changed very simple code. I want to put the message in message.text. But, it doesn't work. Actually, when I input my word first time, It works well. But, it doesn't work when I next input word. I think it is related to memory allocation issues.

So, how can I convert char* to TAO::String_Manager_T<char> type?

Here is my part of source code and error message:

Writer.cpp:

Messenger::Message message;
message.subject_id = 99;

DDS::InstanceHandle_t handle = message_dw->register_instance(message);

static struct sigaction act;
act.sa_handler=ctrlCfunc;
sigaction(SIGINT,&act,NULL);
/* We are all initialized, just service communications                  */

char userInput[255];
doIt=1;

message.from         = "Comic Book Guy";
message.subject      = "Review";
message.text         = "Worst. Movie. Ever.";
message.count        = 0;

while(doIt) {

    fgets(userInput, sizeof(userInput), stdin);
    userInput[sizeof(userInput)-1]='\0';

    message.text=userInput;

  DDS::ReturnCode_t error;
  do {
    error = message_dw->write(message, handle);
  } while (error == DDS::RETCODE_TIMEOUT);

  if (error != DDS::RETCODE_OK) {
    ACE_ERROR((LM_ERROR,
               ACE_TEXT("%N:%l: svc()")
               ACE_TEXT(" ERROR: write returned %d!\n"), error));
  }

  message.count++;
}

ERROR: Invalid message.text

Solution

  • I finally solved my problem.

    I use message.text= CORBA::string_dup(userInput);

    instead of message.text= userInput;
