[ros-users] One node subscribes to multiple topics

[Tully Foote]

Hi,

You can use boost::bind to add arguments to your callbacks such that you can
know from which subscription a specific callback came.  For an example see
the ros_tutorial on listener_with_userdata
https://code.ros.org/trac/ros/browser/stacks/ros_tutorials/trunk/roscpp_tutorials/listener_with_userdata/listener_with_userdata.cpp
