Typesupport package which generates interfaces used by rmw_coredds.

This project requires CoreDDS to be built. You can get trial version of CoreDDS here. To use this, extract the archive to ~/coredds or any directory you want. After that, move your coredds.lic file to where you extracted the archive and set the environment variable COREDDS_LICENSE_PATH to your coredds.lic file. For example, if you extracted the archive to ~/coredds, it should be COREDDS_LICENSE_FILE=~/coredds/coredds.lic.

This project consists of three packages, coredds_cmake_module, rosidl_typesupport_coredds_c, and rosidl_typesupport_coredds_cpp.

coredds_cmake_module looks for CoreDDS, and provides the information to other packages.
For coredds_cmake_module to work properly, you need to set COREDDS_HOME environment variable to where CoreDDS is located.
For example, if you set COREDDS_HOME=~/coredds, the directory ~/coredds should look like this:

coredds
├── coredds.lic
├── coredds.yaml
├── examples
│   └── ...
├── include
│   ├── dds
│   │   ├── dcps.h
│   │   ├── dcpsx.h
│   │   └── typesupport.h
│   └── ddsxml
│       └── ddsxml.h
├── lib
│   └── libdds.so
├── Makefile
└── tool
    └── coreidl

rosidl_typesupport_coredds_c and rosidl_typesupport_coredds_cpp generate C and C++ interfaces using CoreIDL, the preprocessor. These interfaces are used by rmw_coredds. For more information, see README.md of the project

There are three branches in this project: master, dashing, and crystal.
New changes made in ROS2 repository will be applied to the mater branch, so this branch might be unstable. If you want to use this project with ROS2 Dashing Diademata or Crystal Clemmys, please use dashing or crystal branch.

Currently some features are not fully implemented.

• WString: rosidl_typesupport_coredds converts wstring to string using std::wstring_convert so communicating with another rmw implementation may not work as intended.
