Being a child of MessageQueueSender, this class also * provides methods to send a message to a user-defined or a default destination. * In addition it also provides a reply method to answer to the queue it * received its last message from. * * The MessageQueue should be used as "post box" for a single owning object. * So all message queue communication is "n-to-one". * * The creation of message queues, as well as sending and receiving messages, * makes use of the operating system calls provided. * @ingroup message_queue */ class MessageQueue : public MessageQueueIF { friend class MessageQueueSenderIF; public: /** * @brief The constructor initializes and configures the message queue. * @details By making use of the according operating system call, a message queue is created * and initialized.
