We are thrilled to announce that the Modern C++ API for RTI Connext DDS is complete and publicly available now with RTI Connext 5.2 (data sheet). A lot of our customers have already experienced a new way to write DDS code through our preview version—we hope you'll enjoy it too!

This brand-new C++ programming API, based on the ISO/IEC C++ 2003 Language DDS PSM (DDS-PSM-Cxx) specification, brings modern C++ techniques and patterns to DDS, most notably:

  • Generic programming
  • Integration with the standard library
  • Automatic object lifecycle management, with value types and reference types
  • C++11 support: move constructors, initializer lists, lambdas, range for-loops, and more

We’ve also updated the code that rtiddsgen generates for your IDL types.

Where can you start?

Ah! If your system is using the previous C++ API and you still want to take advantage of all the other great features and bug fixes in 5.2, don’t worry. It’s still fully supported—now we call it the Traditional C++ API.

Stay tuned for more Modern C++ here at the RTI blogs, coming soon!
