DummyHardware::SetEndpoint() became private ?

[sly74fr]

Dear IPbus team,

First thank you very much for all your great work on IPbus !

I rely on UDPDummyHardware to create an hardware mockup of the board we develop.
I used SetEndpoint() for my mockup to reply specific values for identified register addresses.
But now I can't anymore as this method became private meanwhile.

Maybe there is another way around this ?
Otherwise how would you recommend doing this kind of custom dummy hardware ?
I would love being able to load some address:value tables to simulate my board easily :)
What do you think ?

Best regards,
Sly

Hi,

Beyond using the SetEndpoint method there isn't any other way to accomplish what you want to do with the current API of the dummy hardware classes. Given that, I'll make relax that method to being protected again, and create a new patch release with that change in the next few weeks.

In the longer run, it might be wise for us to restructure the dummy hardware classes to enhance the support for this kind of use case. However, given the demands of other projects on my time over the next month, I won't be able to do such restructuring before the next patch release.

Cheers,
Tom

Hi
First thank you for the relaxing interim solution.
On the long term side of things, I remain at your disposal to further discuss it.

Hi @sly74fr

Thank you very much Tom,
Will keep you updated once deployed at CERN !
