the wrappers it contains. The registration creates a prototype
object for all of the wrapped classes. For some of the higher-level
classes this can be a bit heavy.
I noticed a problem with a model which required a single class from
osgSim. When osgdb_serializers_osgsim.so was loaded it registered
wrappers and created prototype objects for all of the osgSim classes,
including osgSim::ScalarBar. The constructor for that class creates
several drawables, and loads arial.ttf using the freetype plugin. I
don't need that, and don't even ship the font or plugin with my
application, resulting in an unexplained warning message loading
the model.
I've modified the ObjectWrapper class to defer the prototype object
creation until if & when actually required."
// A custom class
namespace CustomDomain {
class MyGroup : public osg::Group
{
public:
META_Node( CustomDomain, MyGroup );
void setMyName( const std::string& n );
const std::string& getMyName() const;
void setMyID( int id );
int getMyID() const;
...
};
}
// The serialization wrapper using a custom domain name
REGISTER_CUSTOM_OBJECT_WRAPPER( MyDomain,
CustomDomain_MyGroup,
new CustomDomain::MyGroup,
CustomDomain::MyGroup,
"osg::Object osg::Node osg::Group CustomDomain::MyGroup" )
{
ADD_STRING_SERIALIZER( MyName, std::string() );
{
UPDATE_TO_VERSION_SCOPED( 1 ); // Updated for a new domain version
ADD_INT_SERIALIZER( MyID, 0 );
}
}
Save the class instance as follows:
osgDB::writeNodeFile( *myGroup, "serializer_test.osgt", new osgDB::Options("CustomDomains=MyDomain:1") );
The output file will include the domain version definition and all the class data, and can be read back. We can also force setting the domain version by the CustomDomains option while reading the saved files. If we save the class instance without any options, MyID will be ignored because the default domain version is 0.
This may help third-party libraries like osgEarth to maintain their own serializers without regarding to the OSG soversion changes.
Another feature added is a more robust binary format, which in fact adds a size-offset at each block's beginning. When there are problems or unsupported data types while reading, we can now directly jump to the block end indicated by the offset value. So a .osgb file will automatically ignore bad data and read remains as normal (at present it will fail at all). This feature will not break the backward compatibility, and can be disabled by setting "RobustBinaryFormat=false" while writing out.
Hope these changes can work smoothly with present and future community projects. Maybe we should also consider have an osgserializer example to test and demonstrate all things we can do now."
* ZeroConfDevice does now return FILE_NOT_HANDLED instead of FILE_NOT_FOUND
* present3D supports multiple devices per env-var P3D_DEVICE, separate multiple device with a space
I refactored parts the p3d-plugin, the curl-plugin and parts of Registry and ReaderWriter. Currently the p3d-plugin tries to open all remote files with the help of the curl-plugin.
I added a new method to Registry called getReaderWriterForProtocolAndExtension. which will return a ReaderWriter which is capable in handling the remote file for the given protocol and extension. If no readerwriter is found for the given extension, a list is built of all readerwriters supporting the given protocol and this list is checked for support of wildcards (extension = "*"). If anything matches it get returned.
I added this principle also to the Registry, so now it's possible to register a generic ReaderWriter which can handle all filetypes for a given protocol, similar what curl is doing. All you have to do is to load the plugin at startup. The curl-fallback is still in place.
With these changes it is now possible to reference a movie inside a presentation without a server-address, read the presentation (with curl) and stream the movie with the correct plugin (e.g. QTKit)

Added template readFile(..) function to make it more convinient to cast to a specific object type.
Added support for osgGA::Device to osgViewer.
Added sdl plugin to provides very basic joystick osgGA::Device integration.
macro, which could set version within brackets and reset it after
that. All related serializers are also modified so that the
backward-compatibility bug reported by Farshid can be fixed.

From Robert Osfield, removed the use of osg::Referenced and creating the proxy object on the heap.
Bug description:
Let's say we have class A
namespace Bug
{
class A : public osg::Object
{
public:
//...
typedef std::vector<osg::ref_ptr<A> > AList;
protected:
AList _alist;
//...
}
}
REGISTER_OBJECT_WRAPPER( A,
new Bug::A,
Bug::A,
"osg::Object Bug::A" )
{
ADD_LIST_SERIALIZER(A,Bug::A::AList);
}
Bug:
We create say 3 instances of class A: A1,A2,A3 and then we add A2 and A3 and A1 as child instances of A1 so we get next structure:
A1
|- A2,A3,A1
we call osgDB::writeObjectFile(A1,"/data/a.osgt") -> saved correctly( third element in list is saved as unique id that references parentClass
now we call
A1 = osgDB::readObjectFile("/data/a.osgt");
Everything is deserialized correctely except last element in list which should be same instance as parent A1.
The attached code resolves this issue by passing UniqueID in readObjectFields method and saving object in _identifierMap as soon as we have valid object instance so we can make reference to parent object from any child instance.

I think the best way to achieve this is to overwrite the DatabasePager::addDatabaseThread() method within the customized database pager. However this method is not 'virtual' yet, so I propose to make the method 'virtual'."
Here is a quick list of the modified files:
Archive - getDirectoryContents() no longer pure virtual
Archive.cpp - default getDirectoryContents() implementation
unzip.cpp - modified to fix a bug where the same file will not load twice in a row
ZipArchive.h / ZipArchive.cpp - extends osgDB::Archive and provides support for random access loading within a .zip file
ReaderWriterZip.cpp - modified to use the ZipArchive class"
"generic" property mechanism for osg::Object.
The main problem I have found is that InputStream and OutputStream
only takes the stream when you call start method, and in that case it
attaches to the stream buffer some stuff, useful for files but not for
runtime/gui usage. I have added a simple setInputIterator and
setOutputIterator to the classes so now you can easily serialize
values without version and other stuff.
Writing matrix:
osgDB::OutputStream os(0);
std::stringstream sstream;
os.setOutputIterator(new AsciiOutputIterator(&sstream));
os << matrix;
std::string value = sstream.str();
Reading matrix:
osgDB::InputStream is(0);
std::stringstream sstream(value);
is.setInputIterator(new AsciiInputIterator(&sstream));
osg::Matrixf mat2;
is >> mat2;
From Robert Osfield, added doxygen comments to clarify the role of the methods.
CID 11844: Uninitialized scalar field (UNINIT_CTOR)
Non-static class member _defaultValue is not initialized in this constructor nor in any functions that it calls.
Index: ../include/osgDB/Serializer
/** Get the file name which represents the archived file.*/
virtual std::string getArchiveFileName() const = 0;
/** return type of file. */
virtual FileType getFileType(const std::string& filename) const = 0;
/** return the contents of a directory.
* returns an empty array on any error.*/
virtual DirectoryContents getDirectoryContents(const std::string& dirName) const = 0;
Added implementations of these new methods into src/osgPlugins/osga/OSGA_Archive.h src/osgPlugins/osga/OSGA_Archive.cpp
external applications can determine if an archive extension is valid.
The second change is a bug fix in Registry::read(const ReadFunctor&)
where if you pass in valid options they get wiped out after the archive
is loaded but before being passed along to the plugin."
Fixes to race in DatabasePager where a parent PagedLOD
of newly loaded subgraph has been expired.
Clean up of visitor naming to make it clearer what role it has.
