Robot Operating System——单线程中启动多个Node

news2025/1/15 7:37:37

在《Robot Operating System——Service的同步/异步通信》一文中，我们介绍了如何实现Service的客户端和服务端。在例子中，它们分别被编译成libadd_two_ints_client_async_library.so和libadd_two_ints_server_library.so，然后分别被可执行程序add_two_ints_client_async和add_two_ints_server加载。这样它们就以两个独立的进程运行起来。
在这里插入图片描述

本文我们将介绍，如果在一个进程中，使用单线程模式运行两个Node代码。本文选用的例子是composition/src/manual_composition.cpp、composition/src/client_component.cpp和composition/src/server_component.cpp。

服务端

和之前我们介绍的例子一样，Server需要继承于Node类，然后通过Node::create_service创建服务端，并设置一个处理请求的回调。

// composition/include/composition/server_component.hpp
class Server : public rclcpp::Node
{
public:
  COMPOSITION_PUBLIC
  explicit Server(const rclcpp::NodeOptions & options);

private:
  rclcpp::Service<example_interfaces::srv::AddTwoInts>::SharedPtr srv_;
};

// composition/src/server_component.cpp
Server::Server(const rclcpp::NodeOptions & options)
: Node("Server", options)
{
  auto handle_add_two_ints =
    [this](
    const std::shared_ptr<example_interfaces::srv::AddTwoInts::Request> request,
    std::shared_ptr<example_interfaces::srv::AddTwoInts::Response> response
    ) -> void
    {
      RCLCPP_INFO(
        this->get_logger(), "Incoming request: [a: %" PRId64 ", b: %" PRId64 "]",
        request->a, request->b);
      std::flush(std::cout);
      response->sum = request->a + request->b;
    };

  srv_ = create_service<example_interfaces::srv::AddTwoInts>("add_two_ints", handle_add_two_ints);
}

客户端

客户端同样继承于Node。它会在定时器timer_中，使用rclcpp::Client与上述Service进行通信。

// composition/include/composition/client_component.hpp
class Client : public rclcpp::Node
{
public:
  COMPOSITION_PUBLIC
  explicit Client(const rclcpp::NodeOptions & options);

protected:
  void on_timer();

private:
  rclcpp::Client<example_interfaces::srv::AddTwoInts>::SharedPtr client_;
  rclcpp::TimerBase::SharedPtr timer_;
};

由于使用的是异步通信async_send_request方法，所以我们要使用Future在服务端响应后，将结果打印出来。

// composition/src/client_component.cpp
Client::Client(const rclcpp::NodeOptions & options)
: Node("Client", options)
{
  client_ = create_client<example_interfaces::srv::AddTwoInts>("add_two_ints");
  // Note(dhood): The timer period must be greater than the duration of the timer callback.
  // Otherwise, the timer can starve a single-threaded executor.
  // See https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/392 for updates.
  timer_ = create_wall_timer(2s, [this]() {return this->on_timer();});
}

void Client::on_timer()
{
  if (!client_->wait_for_service(1s)) {
    if (!rclcpp::ok()) {
      RCLCPP_ERROR(
        this->get_logger(),
        "Interrupted while waiting for the service. Exiting.");
      return;
    }
    RCLCPP_INFO(this->get_logger(), "Service not available after waiting");
    return;
  }

  auto request = std::make_shared<example_interfaces::srv::AddTwoInts::Request>();
  request->a = 2;
  request->b = 3;

  // In order to wait for a response to arrive, we need to spin().
  // However, this function is already being called from within another spin().
  // Unfortunately, the current version of spin() is not recursive and so we
  // cannot call spin() from within another spin().
  // Therefore, we cannot wait for a response to the request we just made here
  // within this callback, because it was executed by some other spin function.
  // The workaround for this is to give the async_send_request() method another
  // argument which is a callback that gets executed once the future is ready.
  // We then return from this callback so that the existing spin() function can
  // continue and our callback will get called once the response is received.
  using ServiceResponseFuture =
    rclcpp::Client<example_interfaces::srv::AddTwoInts>::SharedFuture;
  auto response_received_callback = [this](ServiceResponseFuture future) {
      RCLCPP_INFO(this->get_logger(), "Got result: [%" PRId64 "]", future.get()->sum);
    };
  auto future_result = client_->async_send_request(request, response_received_callback);
}

主程序

在主程序中，我们首先需要创建一个SingleThreadedExecutor对象exec。然后将上述两个Node的对象添加到exec。

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
  // Force flush of the stdout buffer.
  setvbuf(stdout, NULL, _IONBF, BUFSIZ);

  // Initialize any global resources needed by the middleware and the client library.
  // This will also parse command line arguments one day (as of Beta 1 they are not used).
  // You must call this before using any other part of the ROS system.
  // This should be called once per process.
  rclcpp::init(argc, argv);

  // Create an executor that will be responsible for execution of callbacks for a set of nodes.
  // With this version, all callbacks will be called from within this thread (the main one).
  rclcpp::executors::SingleThreadedExecutor exec;
  rclcpp::NodeOptions options;

  // Add some nodes to the executor which provide work for the executor during its "spin" function.
  // An example of available work is executing a subscription callback, or a timer callback.
  auto server = std::make_shared<composition::Server>(options);
  exec.add_node(server);
  auto client = std::make_shared<composition::Client>(options);
  exec.add_node(client);

  // spin will block until work comes in, execute work as it becomes available, and keep blocking.
  // It will only be interrupted by Ctrl-C.
  exec.spin();

  rclcpp::shutdown();

  return 0;
}

SingleThreadedExecutor::spin()方法在底层会不停检测两个Node的回调是否需要被调用(get_next_executable)。如果有，则调用execute_any_executable方法让这个回调执行。

void
SingleThreadedExecutor::spin()
{
  if (spinning.exchange(true)) {
    throw std::runtime_error("spin() called while already spinning");
  }
  RCPPUTILS_SCOPE_EXIT(wait_result_.reset();this->spinning.store(false););

  // Clear any previous result and rebuild the waitset
  this->wait_result_.reset();
  this->entities_need_rebuild_ = true;

  while (rclcpp::ok(this->context_) && spinning.load()) {
    rclcpp::AnyExecutable any_executable;
    if (get_next_executable(any_executable)) {
      execute_any_executable(any_executable);
    }
  }
}
