Emne: Re: [ros-users] Debuggin ROS_COMM deserializer
Here it is, in roscpp/src/libros, writeHeader
uint32_t msg_len = len + 4;
boost::shared_array<uint8_t> full_msg(new uint8_t[msg_len]);
memcpy(full_msg.get() + 4, buffer.get(), len);
*((uint32_t*)full_msg.get()) = len;

and onHeaderLengthRead:
uint32_t len = *((uint32_t*)buffer.get());

This type of code might create some trouble when run between x86 and arm
cpu. However, I could only track this bit of code in the UDP and service
loop, and I only checked that this code was there up to fuerte.

In my experience some time ago, I could listen to packet from a gumstix
(cturtle, compressed or raw video) from a x86 laptop (diamondback I think).
So this might actually be two different bugs...

Now, for people who wonder why I did not report this earlier: contributing
to ros_comm has not been very successful so far on my side, so I just keep
track of my patches until someone really needs them... (shared memory and
compressed transports out-of-the-box for all topics?)

Regards
