FEAT: Add topic statistics with rcl_publisher_init and rclcpp_publish
rcl_publisher_init and rclcpp_publish
DEFINE_TRACEPOINT(
rcl_publisher_init,
TRACEPOINT_PARAMS(
const void * publisher_handle,
const void * node_handle,
const void * rmw_publisher_handle,
const char * topic_name,
const size_t queue_depth),
TRACEPOINT_ARGS(
publisher_handle,
node_handle,
rmw_publisher_handle,
topic_name,
queue_depth))
DEFINE_TRACEPOINT(
rclcpp_publish,
TRACEPOINT_PARAMS(
const void * publisher_handle,
const void * message),
TRACEPOINT_ARGS(
message))
When a trace is collected, rcl_publisher_init creates a publisher with a topic_name and a unique handle. After this, topic statics about the frequency of published messages can also be collected. This is basically mcap info, but a trace-based way to get these same statistics could potentially be useful
