I am writing a C++ (*) program that reads in a bagfile, and needs to be able to access a message's header timestamp (not the one rosbag records itself), if it has one.

How can I do this using ROSBag's API?

I'm rewriting an existing Python script that's really slow.

Thank you, Lorenz -- I was afraid that that was the answer. (I couldn't find the button to comment on an answer, so I'm doing it here).

You can do that only if you know the type of the messages at compilation time. In that case, you can use the instantiate method of the class MessageInstance.
