Hi,

I am basing myself on this to do some time manipulation in ros. But when I write :

ros::Time beginTime = ros::Time::now();                                                                                                                  
ros::Duration delta_t = ros::Duration(t/2);                                                                                                              
ros::Time t1 = delta_t + beginTime;                                                                                                                      
ros::Time t2 = delta_t + t1;

I get the error

error: no match for ‘operator+’ (operand types are ‘ros::Duration’ and ‘ros::Time’)
ros::Time t1 = delta_t + beginTime;

Why is that? Something has changed since the other post?

Thank you for your help!

On Melodic the time has to come before the duration:

ros::Time t1 = beginTime + delta_t;
ros::Time t2 = t1 + delta_t;

http://wiki.ros.org/roscpp/Overview/T... shows the proper order (but doesn't say the opposite won't work).

The other post says the code is untested, so the ordering requirement may or may not have changed.

(Update- I fixed the other post to have the correct time + duration ordering)
