I want to get the list of all subscribers and publishers for a given topic in C++ code.

I know that in Python, you can do rostopic.get_topic_list() to get this information.

In C++, doing ros::master::getTopics(topics) would only provide information regarding the list of available topics and their datatypes. But it does not provide information on the nodes publishing and subscribing to it. Is there a C++ API for this?

You should be able to get it with ros::master::execute(). Use getPublishedTopics or getSystemState as the method.

For reference. http://docs.ros.org/en/indigo/api/ros... https://gist.github.com/bechu/6222399 http://docs.ros.org/en/melodic/api/ro...
