dynamic_reconfigure headers re-generated

Hello guys,

I'm experiencing a small but irritating problem with dynamic_reconfigure.

Every single time I run make or rosmake all the reconf header files get re-generated so it causes all my nodes that use them to be re-compiled even though I did not modify any of them.

At first I thought that the problem is with the end .cfg file:

exit(gen.generate(PACKAGE, "dynamic_tutorials", "Tutorials"))

So I made sure that they are all correct but they still get regenerated every single time.

I'm running on Ubuntu 10.04 and ROS Electric.

Anyone faced this problem before?

Is this with Fuerte or Electric? What operating system?

I've had this problem in electric. I never did get around to figuring it out, or filing a bug.

Hi,

I'm experiencing the same issue. I solved it by adding a guard to the beginning of the .cfg file, which checks whether the *Config.h file was generated after the last modification of the .cfg file. If this is the case the script is terminated without generating any files.

It looks like:

import os

me = os.path.realpath(__file__)
cpp_header = os.path.realpath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(me), "cpp", "dynamic_tutorials", "TutorialsConfig.h"))

if os.path.exists(cpp_header) and os.path.getmtime(me) < os.path.getmtime(cpp_header):
  exit(0)
