add supported types from the IDL #191

Closed dirk-thomas closed 5 years ago

dirk-thomas commented 5 years ago

To help with #190 I enumerated the types from the IDL we are planning to support.

Out of curiosity, is this IDL 4.2 support going to bring with it support for keyed fields, even if ROS2 might not intend to use them?

Yes, we will likely allow / parse / support keys in the .idl files. We don't plan to work on any key-specific functionality beyond this though at them moment (e.g. in the rmw layer).
