add array parameter types as defined in https://github.com/ros2/design/pull/152

[mikaelarguedas]

This is to support @ayrton04's work on implementing parameter arrays

[ayrton04]

Do we also need to update ParameterValue.msg, or is it only meant do be defining primitive values?

Absolutely 👍 updated accordingly

[ayrton04]

LGTM (or, at least, it matches what I have locally).

[mikaelarguedas]

@ayrton04 I split and merged the renaming of the existing parameter array. I'll leave this one open and we will merge it along the corresponding rclcpp PR you're working on

[ayrton04]

Awesome! I’m blocked at the moment because of this:

#31

[mikaelarguedas]

Ack, that's indeed a problem that need to be solved.
Though we do recommend people making contributions to develop and test their features in a workspace tracking master and built from source as ardent code and API will be out of sync pretty quick.
If it helps there's you can setup an environment development using this Dockerfile (to track master you will need to replace release-latest with master here)

[ayrton04]

Noted. Thanks for the heads-up, and for the fix!

[ayrton04]

Just a status update: I believe I'm all done with the rclcpp implementation, and am adding tests for ParameterVariant.
