Mention there are exceptions to the msg naming rule, intended for internal use only #192

Closed dhood closed 5 years ago

dhood commented 5 years ago

rosidl_parser allows some exceptions (currently _Request and _Response suffixes, and Sample_ prefixes (for opensplice specifically)). It's not trivial to prevent users from exploiting these exceptions, so instead document that it is not permitted.

As we are currently working on an alternative to remove these intermediate .msg files, I don't think we need to call it out in this design document.

@dirk-thomas thoughts?

dhood commented 5 years ago

(I considered that but thought that would be in addition to the old process, not instead of)

dirk-thomas commented 5 years ago

Yes, there won't be any request / response .msg files anymore in the future.

dhood commented 5 years ago

OK, nw. Will close this then!
