class StaticSingleThreadedExecutor : public rclcpp::Executor

Static executor implementation.

This executor is a static version of the original single threaded executor. It’s static because it doesn’t reconstruct the executable list for every iteration. All nodes, callbackgroups, timers, subscriptions etc. are created before spin() is called, and modified only when an entity is added/removed to/from a node.

To run this executor instead of SingleThreadedExecutor replace: rclcpp::executors::SingleThreadedExecutor exec; by rclcpp::executors::StaticSingleThreadedExecutor exec; in your source code and spin node(s) in the following way: exec.add_node(node); exec.spin(); exec.remove_node(node);

Public Functions

explicit StaticSingleThreadedExecutor(const rclcpp::ExecutorOptions &options = rclcpp::ExecutorOptions())

Default constructor. See the default constructor for Executor.

virtual ~StaticSingleThreadedExecutor()

Default destructor.

virtual void spin() override

Static executor implementation of spin.

This function will block until work comes in, execute it, and keep blocking. It will only be interrupted by a CTRL-C (managed by the global signal handler).

Throws:

std::runtime_error – when spin() called while already spinning

virtual void spin_some(std::chrono::nanoseconds max_duration = std::chrono::nanoseconds(0)) override

Static executor implementation of spin some.

This non-blocking function will execute entities that were ready when this API was called, until timeout or no more work available. Entities that got ready while executing work, won’t be taken into account here.

Example: while(condition) { spin_some(); sleep(); // User should have some sync work or // sleep to avoid a 100% CPU usage }

virtual void spin_all(std::chrono::nanoseconds max_duration) override

Static executor implementation of spin all.

This non-blocking function will execute entities until timeout (must be >= 0) or no more work available. If timeout is 0, potentially it blocks forever until no more work is available. If new entities get ready while executing work available, they will be executed as long as the timeout hasn’t expired.

Example: while(condition) { spin_all(); sleep(); // User should have some sync work or // sleep to avoid a 100% CPU usage }

Protected Functions

bool execute_ready_executables(const rclcpp::executors::ExecutorEntitiesCollection &collection, rclcpp::WaitResult<rclcpp::WaitSet> &wait_result, bool spin_once)

Executes ready executables from wait set.

Parameters:

  • collection – entities to evaluate for ready executables.

  • wait_result – result to check for ready executables.

  • spin_once – if true executes only the first ready executable.

Returns:

true if any executable was ready.
