Implement namespaces in messages/services/actions #72

Closed GuiRitter closed 5 years ago

GuiRitter commented 7 years ago

Hi everyone.

I want to be able to define custom messages with custom namespaces. For example. I want to define a message that I could reference in C++ by project_name::Movement::Generic. I thought this was a CMake issue, but in catkin's repository I learned it's a limitation of message generation.

I would like for a future version of ROS to use messages with custom namespaces, as I also learned that implementing this feature now would break current packages.

I didn't test, but I suppose the same holds for services and actions. Please consider this for the future.

Thanks in advance.
