Is geometry_experimental also building successfully on Windows and OSX?

[tfoote]

@gerkey It's not tested on OSX or Windows. There's missing dependencies with console_bridge see #159 I don't know how we should proceed with console_bridge.

[gerkey]

Well, we have to figure something out so that we can get tf into ROS 2 for the upcoming alpha 3. I guess you should start by considering how to remove or replace console_bridge (maybe an alternative cross-platform implementation that just calls printf()/cout()?).

[wjwwood]

My opinion is that we should take console_bridge as it is in #133 and go with that rather than replacing it. I tested console_bridge and class_loader on all the platforms in my branch #133. The only outstanding thing to do (which could be delayed) is resolving the issue @dirk-thomas pointed out: #159 (comment)

[wjwwood]

The only remaining issue with #133 is that it introduces warnings on Windows: #134 (comment)

Those should be easy to fix, especially if you limit them to just console_bridge and don't take class_loader for now.

[tfoote]

This needs ros2/rclcpp#172 to continue. I'll test that shortly.

Clang is more strict on some datatype conversions inside sleep in rate.hpp, that need to be worked out: http://ci.ros2.org/job/ci_osx/599/console
And Windows there are some issues with implicit datatype conversions: http://ci.ros2.org/job/ci_windows_opensplice/785/console

@wjwwood Please make a PR to allow review of the ros2 branch of console_bridge.

@tfoote Same for tf2_ament branch of geometry_experimental.

[tfoote]

Please review the pull request with the changes here: ros/geometry2#135

[tfoote]

@wjwwood We added this here as a workaround to #174

Final CI:
http://ci.ros2.org/job/ci_windows/863
http://ci.ros2.org/job/ci_linux/814/
http://ci.ros2.org/job/ci_osx/681/

[tfoote]

Final run of osx passed with only unrelated failures: http://ci.ros2.org/job/ci_osx/684/

[gerkey]

Those last couple of test failures should be addressed by ros2/system_tests#98.
