AUTOSAR SOME/IP Service Discovery: C++98/STL parsing library

The main tasks of the Service Discovery Protocol are communicating the availability of functional entities called services in the in-vehicle communication as well as controlling the send behavior of event messages. This allows sending only event messages to receivers requiring them (Publish/Subscribe). The solution described here is also known as SOME/IP-SD (Scalable service-Oriented MiddlewarE over IP - Service Discovery).

Minimal Kaitai Struct required: 0.9

This page hosts a formal specification of AUTOSAR SOME/IP Service Discovery using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.

Usage

Runtime library

All parsing code for C++98/STL generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the C++/STL runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.

For C++, the easiest way is to clone the runtime library sources and build them along with your project.

Code

Using Kaitai Struct in C++/STL usually consists of 3 steps.

We need to create an STL input stream (std::istream). One can open local file for that, or use existing std::string or char* buffer.

#include <fstream>

std::ifstream is("path/to/local/file.bin", std::ifstream::binary);

#include <sstream>

std::istringstream is(str);

#include <sstream>

const char buf[] = { ... };
std::string str(buf, sizeof buf);
std::istringstream is(str);

We need to wrap our input stream into Kaitai stream:

#include "kaitai/kaitaistream.h"

kaitai::kstream ks(&is);

And finally, we can invoke the parsing:
```
some_ip_sd_t data(&ks);
```

After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by invoking getter methods like:

data.flags() // => The SOME/IP-SD Header shall start with an 8 Bit field called flags.
