Forward slash in DDS topic name in example

Open miguelprada opened this issue 7 years ago • 6 comments

The Examples and Ideas for Communicating with Non-ROS Topics section in Topic and Service name mapping to DDS article presents an example where a DDS topic name containing a forward slash is discussed.

Although the article discusses an ambiguous specification of an "exact" topic name, I have the impresion that one of the two interpretations should not be legal in DDS. Specifically I'm referring to the mapping from rostopic+exact://camera_left/image to DDS topic camera_left/image and partition [].

Just bringing it up since it can lead to confusion. It probably makes little sense to combine rostopic+exact with a name containing forward slashes, right?
