Hello,

I'm using rclcpp with ROS2 Foxy and I need to create a generic ROS2 Foxy subscriber whose type is available only at runtime.

I can use get_topic_names_and_types to extract the topic type from the known topic name, but it is not possible to use it with templates to call the create_subscription function.

Is there a way to perform this operation in C++?

OK, I found a generic subscription class in rosbag2: https://github.com/ros2/rosbag2/tree/...
