I'm a newbie ros user.

According to tutorials, messages may disappear if the subscriber's queue is full.

I need to know if the message is lost. Is it possible?

I see you linked to a roscpp tutorial.

If you want to see if a message is being dropped, you can set the subscribing node's logger level to DEBUG and look for the message "Incoming queue was full for topic"

I don't see a way to check that programmatically.

or you can add a piece of code in the callback function : to check whether the queue is full and print something.But that's just a double work.
