Rostime algorithm errors

• Download his zipped standalone test code
• Compare with current winros code in rostime
• If it's the same code, then
  • Compile and execute
  • If reproducible, debug.

Time::now() returns g_sim_time as well as throws TimeNotInitializedException unless Time::init() is called. Since 'straszheim' didn't call Time::init(), ros_walltime() wouldn't be executed.

When we call Time::now() after calling Time::init(), the second part is updated well.

I wonder how straszheim got the result using MSVC.

time::init() gets called in ros::init(), so it should be called.

Conclusion - we can't reproduce.

Made a recommendation to close the issue on ros_comm.

PS: Although ros::init() is called, TimeNotInitializedException is raised. In ros::init(), Time::init() does not appear as well.

Just checked - you are right. Instead it gets called the first time a Nodehandle is constructed (libros/init.cpp -> libros/NodeHandle.cpp).
