class GenericTimer : public rclcpp::TimerBase

Generic timer. Periodically executes a user-specified callback.

Subclassed by rclcpp::WallTimer< FunctorT, >

Public Functions

inline explicit GenericTimer(Clock::SharedPtr clock, std::chrono::nanoseconds period, FunctorT &&callback, rclcpp::Context::SharedPtr context)

Default constructor.

Parameters:

• clock – [in] The clock providing the current time.

• period – [in] The interval at which the timer fires.

• callback – [in] User-specified callback function.

• context – [in] custom context to be used.

inline virtual ~GenericTimer()

Default destructor.

inline virtual bool call() override

See also

rclcpp::TimerBase::call

Throws:

std::runtime_error – if it failed to notify timer that callback will occurr

inline virtual void execute_callback() override

inline void execute_callback_delegate()

template<typename CallbackT = FunctorT, typename std::enable_if<rclcpp::function_traits::same_arguments<CallbackT, TimerCallbackType>::value>::type* = nullptr>
inline void execute_callback_delegate()

inline virtual bool is_steady() override

Is the clock steady (i.e. is the time between ticks constant?)

Returns:

True if the clock used by this timer is steady.
