Is there support for topic msg queues to allow blocking reads rather then callbacks. I would like to synchronize two queues. Drive one by call back and wait on the other if a msg is not available. How would you sync two independent queues?
If your question is actually about message synchronization, then please check message_filters.
The TimeSynchronizer filter can subscribe to several topics simultaneously and will call back a single function with messages from all the topics as its arguments. This method will work only when the time stamps of all the messages are exactly same.
To synchronize the messages from sensors that are not synchronized in hardware, e.g. camera and laser, you may need to use ApproximateTime policy.
Regarding message queues you can find some information here: roscpp/Overview/Callbacks and spinning.

@rnunziata Mark the "check" sign at the answer if you're satisfied with it, instead of "closing".
