From the documentation:
void ros::requestShutdown ( )
Request that the node shut itself down from within a ROS thread. This method signals a ROS thread to call shutdown().
void ros::shutdown( )
Disconnects everything and unregisters from the master. It is generally not necessary to call this function, as the node will automatically shutdown when all NodeHandles destruct. However, if you want to break out of a spin() loop explicitly, this function allows that.
From the definition:
the
requestShutdown()
just sets a global bool (g_shutdown_requested
) to true, which is later processed in thecheckForShutdown()
method which runs from within a mutex inside a PollManager. The point is to prevent from deadlocking with another thread that's already in the middle of shutdown()
