setExclusiveDriverByName()

bool fl::ChannelManager::setExclusiveDriverByName

(

const char *

name

)

Enable only one driver exclusively (disables all others) — by-name escape hatch.

Parameters

name	Driver name to enable exclusively (case-sensitive, e.g., "MOCK_SPI")

Returns

true if driver was found and set as exclusive, false if name not found

Test / mock helper: works with drivers that have ALREADY been registered via addDriver() (typically ChannelEngineMock instances under unit tests), or for drivers whose names are NOT in the fl::Bus enum (custom third-party drivers, RPC-resolved names). Does NOT link or register new drivers.

For built-in drivers, prefer either:

• setExclusiveDriver(fl::Bus) (typed runtime form), or
• setExclusiveDriver<fl::Bus B>() (compile-time form that links the driver TU via ODR-use).

  Note

  Atomically disables all drivers, then enables the specified one

  Changes take effect immediately on next enqueue()

  If name is not found, all drivers remain disabled (defensive behavior)

  Use nullptr or empty string to disable all drivers (returns false)

  Warning

  This will disable ALL other registered drivers, including future additions
