@ximion if you compile with -DIOX_DEFAULT_RESOURCE_PREFIX=foo you can create your own island with iceoryx applications without interference from ROS2 applications running with Cyclone DDS and iceoryx.

@ximion if you compile with -DIOX_DEFAULT_RESOURCE_PREFIX=foo you can create your own island with iceoryx applications without interference from ROS2 applications running with Cyclone DDS and iceoryx.

Oh wow, this is super nice, thank you! I'll test it :-) One drawback is that this will make it hard for people to compile my app and ROS2 using Linux-distribution-provided iceoryx packages - I would basically have to vendor IOX, which is slightly inconvenient. But I guess a lot of values are compile-time constants in IOX for performance and to simplify memory management, and this will make it possible for bespoke deployments to run both tools at the same time, which is incredibly nice and removes a big potential obstacle for when we switched to iceoryx :-)

Thank you!

@ximion it shouldn't be too hard to make this a run time option but I'm lacking time at the moment. Patches are welcome :)

That looks doable! Once the journal review I'm working on is done I'll look into this :-)
