Hi everyone,

I tried to establish a subscriber in move_action_capability in Moveit!

I established the subscriber within method "move_group::MoveGroupMoveAction::executeMoveCallback_PlanOnly" and following is my code to establish the subscriber:

ros::NodeHandle handle;
ros::Subscriber sub = handle.subscribe("r_arm_controller/state", 1000, controllerStateCB);

This is my callback signature:

void controllerStateCB(const pr2_controllers_msgs::JointTrajectoryControllerState::ConstPtr& msg)
{
    for (int joint_index = 0; joint_index < 7; joint_index++)
    {
        current_joint_position[joint_index]=msg->actual.positions[joint_index];
        current_joint_velocity[joint_index]=msg->actual.velocities[joint_index];
    }
}

However, when I compile, I got the following error:

/home/pr2/moveit/src/moveit_ros/move_group/src/default_capabilities/move_action_capability.cpp: In member function ‘void move_group::MoveGroupMoveAction::executeMoveCallback_PlanOnly(const MoveGroupGoalConstPtr&, moveit_msgs::MoveGroupResult&)’:

Seems like your controllerStateCB has the wrong type, can you edit the question and tell us how you instantiate it?

Hi Thomas, I add my callback signature. I just noticed that there are three types of callback signature: functions, class methods, functor objects. I am using functions type here and I am not sure if it is appropriate to use this type here.

Hi Thomas! It works! Thank you very much! But I am wondering why in http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/WritingPublisherSubscriber%28c%2B%2B%29 tutorial, there is no "&" before callback function?

@AdrianPeng Please don't use # in tags.

I guess some gcc version may be tolerant on this point but when you set a callback you really are passing the function _address_ and not the function itself. As there is no way to do the latter in C++03 (i.e. to express it through the syntax), compilers used to be more permissible...

Put a "&" in front of controllerStateCB ;)

 ros::Subscriber sub = handle.subscribe("r_arm_controller/state", 1000, &controllerStateCB);

To anyone reading this answer from @pelment: Callbacks can be class methods (which in many cases is preferable). You just have to put attention to setting it up in a way that the subscriber doesn't go out of scope (and use the syntax for class-callbacks from the publisher/subscriber tutorial).

I had the same problem few days ago. I recognized that callback functions should be placed in global space. So they shouldn't be a class methods. Putting & in front of callback function name doesn't help. Maybe there is a way to make class method be a callback function, but I have no ideas. My solution: place all callbacks in global space in the same cpp-file with subscribing function is called.

Oh, thanks, I hoped that I'm wrong! But I don't know why I failed...

Philip's answer is correct refer to the following link for syntax. roscpp class callback methods
