Add support for loan message API

asorbini opened this issue · comments

Feature Description

Extend rmw_connextdds to support both publication and subscription of "loaned messages".

This feature requires the implementation of the following functions from the RMW API:

  • rmw_publish_loaned_message
  • rmw_borrow_loaned_message
  • rmw_return_loaned_message_from_publisher
  • rmw_take_loaned_message
  • rmw_take_loaned_message_with_info
  • rmw_return_loaned_message_from_subscription

Implementation Considerations

The feature will require modifications to the "type plugin" used by the middleware to handle message serialization.

In order to support the loan API, the RMW implementation must be able to allocate and initialize messages, instead of solely relying on messages allocated by the application layer.
