		const std::string &	topic,
		const rosidl_message_type_support_t &	type_support,
		const rcl_publisher_options_t &	publisher_options

Default constructor.

Typically, a publisher is not created through this method, but instead is created through a call to Node::create_publisher.

Parameters

[in]	node_base	A pointer to the NodeBaseInterface for the parent node.
[in]	topic	The topic that this publisher publishes on.
[in]	type_support	The type support structure for the type to be published.
[in]	publisher_options	QoS settings for this publisher.

Member Function Documentation

◆ assert_liveliness()

bool PublisherBase::assert_liveliness ( ) const

Manually assert that this Publisher is alive (for RMW_QOS_POLICY_LIVELINESS_MANUAL_BY_TOPIC).

If the rmw Liveliness policy is set to RMW_QOS_POLICY_LIVELINESS_MANUAL_BY_TOPIC, the creator of this publisher may manually call assert_liveliness at some point in time to signal to the rest of the system that this Node is still alive.

Returns: true if the liveliness was asserted successfully, otherwise false

◆ can_loan_messages()

bool PublisherBase::can_loan_messages ( ) const

◆ get_actual_qos()

rclcpp::QoS PublisherBase::get_actual_qos ( ) const

Get the actual QoS settings, after the defaults have been determined.

The actual configuration applied when using RMW_QOS_POLICY_*_SYSTEM_DEFAULT can only be resolved after the creation of the publisher, and it depends on the underlying rmw implementation. If the underlying setting in use can't be represented in ROS terms, it will be set to RMW_QOS_POLICY_*_UNKNOWN. May throw runtime_error when an unexpected error occurs.

Returns: The actual qos settings.

◆ set_on_new_qos_event_callback()

void rclcpp::PublisherBase::set_on_new_qos_event_callback	(	std::function< void(size_t)>	callback,
		rcl_publisher_event_type_t	event_type
	)

inline

Set a callback to be called when each new qos event instance occurs.

The callback receives a size_t which is the number of events that occurred since the last time this callback was called. Normally this is 1, but can be > 1 if events occurred before any callback was set.

Since this callback is called from the middleware, you should aim to make it fast and not blocking. If you need to do a lot of work or wait for some other event, you should spin it off to another thread, otherwise you risk blocking the middleware.

Calling it again will clear any previously set callback.

An exception will be thrown if the callback is not callable.

This function is thread-safe.

If you want more information available in the callback, like the qos event or other information, you may use a lambda with captures or std::bind.

See also: rclcpp::QOSEventHandlerBase::set_on_ready_callback

Parameters

[in]	callback	functor to be called when a new event occurs
[in]	event_type	identifier for the qos event we want to attach the callback to

◆ wait_for_all_acked()

template<typename DurationRepT = int64_t, typename DurationT = std::milli>

bool rclcpp::PublisherBase::wait_for_all_acked ( std::chrono::duration< DurationRepT, DurationT > timeout = std::chrono::duration<DurationRepT, DurationT>(-1) ) const

inline

Wait until all published messages are acknowledged or until the specified timeout elapses.

This method waits until all published messages are acknowledged by all matching subscriptions or the given timeout elapses.

If the timeout is negative then this method will block indefinitely until all published messages are acknowledged. If the timeout is zero then this method will not block, it will check if all published messages are acknowledged and return immediately. If the timeout is greater than zero, this method will wait until all published messages are acknowledged or the timeout elapses.

This method only waits for acknowledgments if the publisher's QoS profile is RELIABLE. Otherwise this method will immediately return true.

Parameters

[in] timeout the duration to wait for all published messages to be acknowledged.

Returns: true if all published messages were acknowledged before the given timeout elapsed, otherwise false.

Exceptions

rclcpp::exceptions::RCLError	if middleware doesn't support or internal error occurs
std::invalid_argument	if timeout is greater than std::chrono::nanoseconds::max() or less than std::chrono::nanoseconds::min()
