# OpenDDS
[](https://scan.coverity.com/projects/opendds)
OpenDDS is an open-source C++ implementation of the Object Management Group's specification "Data Distribution Service for Real-time Systems" (DDS), as well as some other related specifications.
These standards define a set of interfaces and protocols for developing distributed applications based on the publish-subscribe and distributed cache models.
Although OpenDDS is itself developed in C++, Java bindings are provided so that Java applications can use OpenDDS.
OpenDDS also includes support for the DDS Security and XTypes specifications.
OpenDDS is built on the [ACE](https://opendds.readthedocs.io/en/latest-release/devguide/building/dependencies.html#ace-tao) abstraction layer to provide platform portability.
OpenDDS also leverages the capabilities of [TAO](https://opendds.readthedocs.io/en/latest-release/devguide/building/dependencies.html#ace-tao) for IDL compilation and the OpenDDS [DCPS Information Repository](https://opendds.readthedocs.io/en/latest-release/devguide/the_dcps_information_repository.html).
The primary development of OpenDDS was done by
[Object Computing, Incorporated](http://www.objectcomputing.com) in
St. Louis and Phoenix. It is released under generous license
terms similar to ACE, TAO and MPC. See the [`LICENSE`](LICENSE) file for
details.

## Documentation
- The OpenDDS Developer's Guide is available at https://opendds.readthedocs.io/en/latest-release.
- For developers wanting to contribute to OpenDDS, please read [the development guidelines](https://opendds.readthedocs.io/en/master/internal/dev_guidelines.html).
Other documentation can be found in [`docs` directory](docs).
## Support
For commercial support, please see https://opendds.org/support.html.
Questions concerning OpenDDS should be directed to [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/OpenDDS/OpenDDS/discussions).
If you wish to file a bug report:
1. [Fork](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/fork-a-repo) OpenDDS on GitHub.
2. Add a [minimum working example](#mwe) that demonstrates the problem.
3. Create a pull request.
4. Fill out the [PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM](PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM) and attach it to the pull request.
### How to make a minimum working example
1. Create a directory `tests/DCPS/MyExample` (`MyExample` is a placeholder.)
2. Add the IDL, code, and configuration files for the example programs. Be sure to exclude any proprietary information as the submitted example will be public.
3. Add an MPC file that builds the test programs.
4. Add a launcher script `run_test.pl`. Be sure to document the options. See `tests/DCPS/HelloWorld/run_test.pl` for inspiration.
5. Add a `README.rst` file that gives a high-level overview of the example and the problem that it illustrates.
It should be possible to build and run the example using `run_test.pl` as in the quickstarts for [Windows](https://opendds.readthedocs.io/en/latest-release/devguide/quickstart/windows.html) and [Linux](https://opendds.readthedocs.io/en/latest-release/devguide/quickstart/linux.html).
If the problem lies in the example, then GitHub's Pull Request interface will allow people to discuss, comment on, and propose changes to get the example working.
If the problem lies in OpenDDS, then the example is a new test case.
## Features
This release of OpenDDS is based on the DDS Specification [formal/2015-04-10
(version 1.4)](https://www.omg.org/spec/DDS/1.4). It features the following
transport protocols:
* TCP/IP
* UDP/IP
* IP multicast
* RTPS over UDP/IP (unicast and multicast)
* Shared memory
RTPS (Interoperability) features are based on the [DDS-RTPS Specification
formal/2019-04-03 (version 2.3)](https://www.omg.org/spec/DDSI-RTPS/2.3). See
the OpenDDS Developer's Guide and the file [docs/design/RTPS](docs/design/RTPS)
for more details on RTPS.
See the [Developer's Guide](https://opendds.readthedocs.io/en/latest-release/devguide/introduction.html#specifications) for
information on OpenDDS compliance with the DDS specification. If you would like
to contribute a feature or sponsor the developers to add a feature please see
the Support section above for contact information.
## Dependencies
These are just the required dependencies. For a complete detailed list of
dependencies, including optional ones, see
https://opendds.readthedocs.io/en/latest-release/devguide/building/dependencies.html.
### ACE/TAO
OpenDDS requires TAO for both IDL compilation as well as interaction with the
DCPSInfoRepo. ACE is also required, but it is always included with TAO. If you
will be using the `configure` script for OpenDDS, you do not need to download TAO
first -- the `configure` script will download it for you.
### Perl
Perl is used for the configure script, running the automated tests and examples
included in this source tree, and generating Makefiles or Visual Studio project
files.
On Windows we recommend the use of [Strawberry Perl](https://strawberryperl.com).
## Supported Platforms
### Operating Systems
This release of OpenDDS has been tested under the following platforms and
toolchains.
OpenDDS is also used on additional platforms and compilers; For general inquiries,
GitHub Discussions (for questions) and Issues (for actual issues) are the best place
to start. For specific platform and configuration support needs, see the Support section
above for contact information.
