genmsg: generating code from ros .msg formatΒΆ
Project genmsg
exists in order to decouple code generation from
.msg
& .srv
format files from the parsing of these files and
from impementation details of the build system (project directory
layout, existence or nonexistence of utilities like rospack
,
values of environment variables such as ROS_PACKAGE_PATH
):
i.e. none of these are required to be set in any particular way.
Code generators may not use any information other than what is provided on the commandline.
