Construct a message object of type type.

  [in] | type | The message type

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ receiver()

Object * libcamera::Message::receiver | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Retrieve the message receiver.

  The message receiver

## ◆ registerMessageType()

Message::Type libcamera::Message::registerMessageType | ( |  | ) |
| static

Reserve and register a custom user-defined message type.

Custom message types use values starting at Message::UserMessage. Assigning custom types manually may lead to accidental duplicated types. To avoid this problem, this function reserves and returns the next available user-defined message type.

The recommended way to use this function is to subclass Message and provide a static accessor for the custom message type.

class MyCustomMessage : public Message
{
public:
MyCustomMessage() : Message(type()) {}
static Message::Type type()
{
static MessageType type = registerMessageType();
return type;
}
};
