[ros-users] question about callback functions

[Patrick Bouffard]

@Josh: The OP hasn't responded, but I would like to hear what you'd
have to say if he said "C++".

I'm also interested in how to properly handle the possibility of
multiple subscriber callbacks within the same C++ node. Are these
handled in separate threads? Do I need then to implement locks and
such?

Or, as http://www.ros.org/wiki/roscpp/Overview/Callbacks%20and%20Spinning
seems to suggest, if I am just using ros::spin(), is each subscriber's
callback called sequentially, based on the order the messages were
received?

Thanks,
Pat
