WIP: Article for how to deal with IDL field name collisions. #172

Open tfoote opened 6 years ago

tfoote commented 6 years ago

We've identified that we need a standard way to deal with reserved keywords in different languages. We cannot ban the union of keywords as we don't know them for all potential future languages.

This is the high level of what I collected from our discussion of how to deal with field name. There's still several TODOs and things that could be fleshed out with more details. However please review it for the high level logic and if there's any other significant topic that should be covered here as well.

I am not convinced this needs a separate article. I would prefer adding this it the existing articles instead. Either to the hogh level rosidl one as a new section or to the articles describing the language specific mappings.

Yeah, it could be integrated into the IDL article. Please comment here and after getting the feedback here. I'll refactor it into the rosidl article.
