Protected Methods

Name	Description
transformer::accept_message Method	Accepts a message that was offered by this transformer messaging block, transferring ownership to the caller.
transformer::consume_message Method	Consumes a message previously offered by the transformer and reserved by the target, transferring ownership to the caller.
transformer::link_target_notification Method	A callback that notifies that a new target has been linked to this transformer messaging block.
transformer::propagate_message Method	Asynchronously passes a message from an ISource block to this transformer messaging block. It is invoked by the propagate method, when called by a source block.
transformer::propagate_to_any_targets Method	Executes the transformer function on the input message and tries to offer the resulting message to all of the linked targets.
transformer::release_message Method	Releases a previous message reservation. (Overrides source_block::release_message.)
transformer::reserve_message Method	Reserves a message previously offered by this transformer messaging block. (Overrides source_block::reserve_message.)
transformer::resume_propagation Method	Resumes propagation after a reservation has been released. (Overrides source_block::resume_propagation.)
transformer::send_message Method	Synchronously passes a message from an ISource block to this transformer messaging block. It is invoked by the send method, when called by a source block.
