Function Documentation

◆ vlAddLogListener()

VL_SDK_API bool VL_CALLINGCONVENTION vlAddLogListener	(	vlCallbackZString	fn,
		void *	clientData
	)

Registers a log listener.

Parameters

fn	Listener function which will receive all VisionLib log messages.
clientData	The listener will be notified with the given pointer value. This can be used to invoke a member function.

Returns: true, on success; false otherwise.

◆ vlClearLogListeners()

VL_SDK_API bool VL_CALLINGCONVENTION vlClearLogListeners ( )

Removes all log listeners.

Returns: true, on success; false otherwise.

◆ vlDisableLogBuffer()

VL_SDK_API void VL_CALLINGCONVENTION vlDisableLogBuffer ( )

Disables log buffering.

If log buffering is disabled, then log messages will get dispatched immediately. This might happen from a different thread. Therefore one must make sure, that registered log listeners are thread-safe.

With disabled log buffering, calling the vlFlushLogBuffer function is not necessary.

By default log buffering is disabled.

◆ vlEnableLogBuffer()

VL_SDK_API void VL_CALLINGCONVENTION vlEnableLogBuffer ( )

Enables log buffering.

If log buffering is enabled, then log messages will not get dispatched immediately. Instead they will get buffered and one must continuously call the vlFlushLogBuffer function in order to dispatch the buffered log messages to the registered listeners.

This has the advantage, that registered listeners will not get notified from some arbitrary thread, which would require proper thread synchronization.

By default log buffering is disabled.

◆ vlFlushLogBuffer()

VL_SDK_API bool VL_CALLINGCONVENTION vlFlushLogBuffer ( )

Notifies registered log listeners of all buffered log messages.

If log buffering is enabled, then log messages will not get dispatched immediately. Instead they will get buffered and one must continuously call the vlFlushLogBuffer function in order to dispatch the buffered log messages to the registered listeners.

Failing to call vlFlushLogBuffer with enabled log buffering will have the effect, that registered log listeners will not get notified of any log messages and old log messages will be lost forever.

Returns: true, on success; false otherwise.

◆ vlGetBundleId()

VL_SDK_API bool VL_CALLINGCONVENTION vlGetBundleId	(	char	bundleIdBuffer[],
		unsigned int	maxSize
	)

Copies the bundle ID of the current application into the provided buffer as zero terminated string.

The bundle ID is necessary for generating a license file.

Parameters

bundleIdBuffer	Buffer for storing the bundle ID as zero terminated string. The string will be empty if no bundle ID is available on the system.
maxSize	The size of the buffer.

Returns: true, on success; false otherwise.

◆ vlGetHostId()

VL_SDK_API bool VL_CALLINGCONVENTION vlGetHostId	(	char	hostIdBuffer[],
		unsigned int	maxSize
	)

Copies the host ID of the current application into the provided buffer as zero terminated string.

The host ID is necessary for generating a license file.

Parameters

hostIdBuffer	Buffer for storing the host ID as zero terminated string. The string will be empty if no host ID is available on the system.
maxSize	The size of the buffer.

Returns: true, on success; false otherwise.

◆ vlGetLogLevel()

VL_SDK_API int VL_CALLINGCONVENTION vlGetLogLevel ( )

Gets the current log level.

Returns: The log level (0: mute, 1: error, 2: warning, 3: debug).

◆ vlGetVersionHashString()

VL_SDK_API bool VL_CALLINGCONVENTION vlGetVersionHashString	(	char	version[],
		unsigned int	maxSize
	)

Copies the version hash of the VisionLib plugin into a buffer.

Parameters

version	Buffer for storing the version hash.
maxSize	The size of the buffer.

Returns: true, on success; false otherwise.

◆ vlGetVersionPostfix()

VL_SDK_API bool VL_CALLINGCONVENTION vlGetVersionPostfix	(	char	postfix[],
		unsigned int	maxSize
	)

Copies the version postfix of the VisionLib plugin into a buffer.

Parameters

postfix	Buffer for storing the version postfix.
maxSize	The size of the buffer.

Returns: true, on success; false otherwise.

◆ vlGetVersionString()

VL_SDK_API bool VL_CALLINGCONVENTION vlGetVersionString	(	char	version[],
		unsigned int	maxSize
	)

Copies the version string of the VisionLib plugin into a buffer.

Parameters

version	Buffer for storing the version string.
maxSize	The size of the buffer.

Returns: true, on success; false otherwise.

◆ vlGetVersionTimestampString()

VL_SDK_API bool VL_CALLINGCONVENTION vlGetVersionTimestampString	(	char	versionTimeStamp[],
		unsigned int	maxSize
	)

Copies the version timestamp of the VisionLib plugin into a buffer.

Parameters

version	Buffer for storing the version timestamp.
maxSize	The size of the buffer.

Returns: true, on success; false otherwise.

◆ vlLog()

VL_SDK_API bool VL_CALLINGCONVENTION vlLog	(	const char	message[],
		int	level
	)

Logs the given message as VisionLib log.

Parameters

message	Zero terminated string with the message.
level	Log level (0: log, 1: error, 2: warning, 3: debug).

Returns: true, on success; false otherwise.

◆ vlRemoveLogListener()

VL_SDK_API bool VL_CALLINGCONVENTION vlRemoveLogListener	(	vlCallbackZString	fn,
		void *	clientData
	)

Unregisters a log listener.

Parameters

fn	Listener, which should be removed.
clientData	Pointer value which was used during the registration.

Returns: true, on success; false otherwise.

◆ vlSetLogBufferSize()

VL_SDK_API void VL_CALLINGCONVENTION vlSetLogBufferSize ( unsigned int maxEntries )

Sets the maximum number of log messages in the log buffer.

If log buffering is enabled, then log messages will get buffered. In order to not allocate too much memory, the size of the log buffer is limited to a certain number of entries. If there are too many log messages in the buffer, then the oldest message will get removed.

By default the maximum number of buffer entries is 32.

◆ vlSetLogLevel()

VL_SDK_API bool VL_CALLINGCONVENTION vlSetLogLevel ( int level )

Sets the log level.

It is recommended to set the log level to 2 (warning) during development, otherwise there will be too many messages. Only for debugging purposes it might be useful to increase the log level. Before deploying your application you should set the log level to 0 (mute) or 1 (error).

Parameters

level New log level. (0: mute, 1: error, 2: warning, 3: debug).

Returns: true, on success; false otherwise.
