Hi, I'm triying to declare an array of custom type that I created. This type is formed by 2 int32 variables. I'm triying do that with this command:

main::myType[] myarray;

where main is my package name. When I compiled the program I received an error

Which is the correct way to do this? Thanks in advance

The correct format for message-type in a .msg file is

package_name/data_type_name[] variable name

Where data_type_name is a message in the package package_name

eg.

std_msgs/Float64[] values

Note that this is not a regular array in c++.

After generating the msg file, if you look at the .h file for that message, you will find that values is a vector of doubles.

std::vector <double> values;

This is a general programming question; it should be posted on stackoverflow or some other site, but this time I will answer it for you.

int[] array; your_type[] array; namespace::your_type[] array;

Are you trying to make an array inside of a *.msg file?

Yes I do but this .msg file containt more variables than the array and I do not want use more memory. In concreted, the error is: > expected unqualified-id before ‘[’ token Thanks
