Allow cross-parameter references in expressions - #3
Conversation
An expression can now reference other parameters on the same node by name: r_wheel: 0.05 v_max_rps: 30.0 v_max_m_s: "r_wheel * v_max_rps * 2 * _pi" Implementation: - muParser::SetVarFactory routes unknown identifiers to resolve_variable, which looks up the name as a ROS parameter on the same node. Values are cached in ref_values_ (std::map, stable pointers). Referenced parameters that are themselves string expressions are evaluated recursively via a scratch parser sharing the same var_factory. - Cycle detection via thread_local resolving_ set; a->b->a raises mu::ParserError during set. - When a referenced parameter changes, the expression re-evaluates automatically via add_post_set_parameters_callback (the pre-set callback returns stale get_parameter values for other params in the same batch, so a snapshot of the pending batch is threaded through resolve_variable via pending_snapshot_). - ClearVar() is called before each eval so muParser re-parses and re-invokes var_factory even when the expression string is unchanged (otherwise it caches the parsed AST with pointers to since-invalidated ref_values_ addresses). Backward compat: expressions that only use built-in constants and functions (e.g. "2.0 * _pi / 16384.0") work as before. int/double params short-circuit before the parser. Tests added: - resolveOtherParam y = x * 2 - transitiveResolution c = b*10, b = a+1, a = 2 - reEvalOnDepChange change x -> y auto-updates - circularDependencyRejected a := b+1 then b := a+1 fails - builtinConstantsStillWork "2.0 * _pi" still parses via built-ins All 15 tests pass.

eval_sub_expressionは呼び出しごとにmu::Parserを構築します。240 行は毎回新しい
mu::Parserを作ります。muParser のコンストラクタは、組み込み関数、演算子、定数のテーブルを初期化します。軽量ではありません。コストは参照チェーンの長さに比例します。さらに
on_post_parameterは依存が変わるたびにevalを呼び、evalはチェーン全体を再解決します。パラメータを頻繁に更新する構成では、この構築が積み上がります。現状の規模では実害は小さい見込みです。将来ホットパスになる場合は、スクラッチパーサをメンバとして保持し、再帰の深さごとにプールする方法を検討してください。ただし再帰中に同一インスタンスを使い回すと
SetExprが上書きされます。深さをキーにしたプールが必要です。現時点では変更不要と判断します。設計意図をコメントに残すだけでも十分です。

rclcpp add_post_set_parameters_callback called after parameters committed get_parameter returns new value
💡 Result:
In rclcpp, the post-set parameter callback (registered via add_post_set_parameters_callback) is intended to be used to react to parameter changes that have already been successfully accepted [1][2]. By the time this callback is triggered, the node's parameter database has typically been updated to reflect the new values [3][4]. However, there is a known nuance regarding the timing of when the parameter database is updated. While the post-set callback is designed for post-commit actions, some developers have reported issues where attempting to call get_parameter within a post-set callback throws a ParameterNotDeclaredException in certain contexts, such as when the parameter was initially set via declare_parameter [5]. In general practice: 1. The post-set callback receives a vector of parameters that were set successfully [6][2]. 2. You should use the parameters provided in the callback's argument list to update your node's internal state [4][7]. 3. If you rely on get_parameter inside the callback, you may encounter inconsistencies or exceptions depending on the specific ROS 2 version and whether the parameter was declared or set dynamically [5]. It is recommended to use the parameter values directly from the vector passed to the callback rather than calling get_parameter, as those objects represent the new values that have been successfully committed [2][7].

site:github.com/ros2/rclcpp add_post_set_parameters_callback set_parameters_atomically implementation post_set_parameters callback order
💡 Result:
In ROS 2, the set_parameters_atomically method serves as the central function for setting multiple parameters at once, ensuring they are applied together or not at all [1][2]. The callback execution order within set_parameters_atomically is structured to ensure validation, modification, and post-update notification occur in a deterministic sequence [2][3]: 1. Pre-Set Callbacks: These are executed at the very beginning of the set_parameters_atomically function [2][3]. They are intended for modifying the list of parameters before validation or further processing [4][3]. 2. On-Set Callbacks (Validation): After pre-set callbacks, the system performs validation. Standard on-set parameter callbacks are used to validate parameter values; these should not trigger side effects [4]. 3. Post-Set Callbacks: These are executed after the parameters have been successfully set [2][3]. Registered via add_post_set_parameters_callback, these are the appropriate place to perform side effects, such as updating class attributes or other internal state, based on the new parameter values [4][1][5]. Implementation details for add_post_set_parameters_callback are handled by the node parameters interface [6]. When set_parameters_atomically is called, the system locks the parameters, runs the pre-set callbacks, performs the set operations, and finally triggers the post-set callbacks once the update is confirmed [2][3]. Using post-set callbacks is preferred over validation callbacks for side effects to avoid issues with partial updates or incorrect application state if validation fails [4].

site:docs.ros.org humble rclcpp add_post_set_parameters_callback post-set callback after parameters set
💡 Result:
The add_post_set_parameters_callback function is not available in ROS 2 Humble. This API was introduced in later versions of ROS 2 (starting with Jazzy Jalisco) as part of an updated parameter callback design [1][2][3]. In ROS 2 Humble, you only have access to add_on_set_parameters_callback, which is intended for validating parameter changes before they are applied [4][5][6]. If you are using Humble and need to react to parameters after they have been successfully set, you generally have a few alternatives: 1. Use the on_set_parameters_callback to perform your logic. Note that this callback is designed for validation and returning an rcl_interfaces/msg/SetParametersResult [7][8]. While some users perform side effects here, it is officially discouraged as it can lead to issues if the parameter set request is eventually rejected or fails later [2]. 2. Monitor parameter changes via the /parameter_events topic. This is a standard way to observe parameter updates across the system after they have been confirmed [2]. 3. If your use case requires reactive behavior, migrating to a newer ROS 2 distribution (like Jazzy or later) will provide the official add_post_set_parameters_callback API, which is explicitly designed to handle logic after parameters have been accepted [2][7].

rclcpp add_post_set_parameters_callback introduced PR 2735 Jazzy
💡 Result:
The rclcpp method add_post_set_parameters_callback was introduced as part of a feature to support expanded parameter callback capabilities, specifically addressing the need for post-validation reactions to parameter changes [1][2]. While you mentioned PR 2735 in relation to Jazzy, the primary implementation for adding pre-set and post-set parameter callbacks originated in rclcpp Pull Request #1947 [1]. The add_post_set_parameters_callback API allows users to register a callback that is triggered only after parameters have been successfully set [2][3]. This is distinct from the existing add_on_set_parameters_callback, which is intended primarily for validation purposes (inspecting upcoming changes and potentially rejecting them) rather than triggering side effects [2][4][5]. By using add_post_set_parameters_callback, developers can safely react to parameter updates (such as updating class attributes or reconfiguring node components) without relying on validation callbacks or monitoring the /parameter_events topic [2][6][7]. Note: You may encounter related discussions in PRs like #2742, which deals with recursive parameter updates and potential infinite loops when using these callbacks, emphasizing the need for caution when modifying parameters within these hooks [8][9]. Top results: [1][2][5][3]

Humble 対応を追加するか、対応ディストリビューションを更新してください。
CI は humble、jazzy、rolling を対象にしています。add_post_set_parameters_callback は Humble の rclcpp に存在しないため、Humble ではコンパイルできません。Jazzy と Rolling ではパラメータ更新後に post-set callback を呼ぶため、pending_snapshot_ も不要です。

評価が失敗すると依存集合が破壊されたまま残ります。以後の再評価が停止します。
148-150 行は ref_values_、ref_names_、parser_ の変数登録を先に破棄します。その後 156-157 行が送出すると、ref_names_ は空または部分集合のまま残ります。161 行の再送出前に旧状態を戻す処理がありません。
on_parameter はこの送出を受けて successful=false を返します。ROS パラメータの値は変更されません。しかし本インスタンスの ref_names_ は破壊済みです。on_post_parameter は ref_names_ を使って再評価の要否を判定します。したがって依存の変更を検出できなくなります。
再現手順:
yを"x * 2"に設定する。ref_names_は{x}になる。yを"undefined_param + 1"に設定する。resolve_variableが送出し、設定は拒否される。yの値は"x * 2"のまま。yのref_names_は空になっている。xを変更する。on_post_parameterはdep_touchedを false と判定し、早期 return する。y->get()は古い値を返し続ける。
value_ 自体は保持されるため即時のクラッシュはありません。値が静かに陳腐化します。
失敗時に旧状態を復元してください。

未設定パラメータの扱いが eval と resolve_variable で一致しません。
eval は 118-119 行で PARAMETER_NOT_SET を default_value_ に解決します。resolve_variable は 209-210 行で同じ状態を 0.0 に解決します。同一パラメータに対して 2 つの異なる値が生まれます。
このクラスは 38 行目の declare_parameter で常に空の ParameterValue を宣言します。したがって YAML でオーバーライドされないパラメータは PARAMETER_NOT_SET のままです。既定値付きの宣言は珍しくありません。
具体例:
# r_wheel は YAML に記載しない
v_max_m_s: "r_wheel * 2.0"ParameterExpression r_wheel(node, "r_wheel", 0.05);
ParameterExpression v(node, "v_max_m_s", 0.0);
// r_wheel.get() == 0.05
// v.get() == 0.0 ← 0.1 が期待値0.0 は物理量として妥当に見えるため、誤りが検出されません。速度や半径の計算では危険です。
resolve_variable は他インスタンスの default_value_ を参照できません。参照先が PARAMETER_NOT_SET の場合はエラーとして拒否する方が安全です。エラーは on_parameter が successful=false に変換します。設定時に問題が表面化します。
🐛 提案する修正: 未設定参照を拒否する
double resolved;
using ParameterType = rcl_interfaces::msg::ParameterType;
const auto ty = param.get_type();
if (ty == ParameterType::PARAMETER_NOT_SET) {
- resolved = 0.0;
+ // Do not silently substitute 0.0. The referenced ParameterExpression
+ // would report its own default_value_ instead, so 0.0 would produce two
+ // different values for the same parameter.
+ throw mu::ParserError(
+ std::string("Referenced parameter '") + name + "' is declared but not set");
} else if (ty == ParameterType::PARAMETER_INTEGER) {拒否ではなく既定値を伝播させたい場合は、参照先の ParameterExpression インスタンスを名前で引ける登録簿が必要です。設計判断が必要なため、方針を決めてください。

連鎖依存の再評価を検証してください。
このテストは初期評価だけを検証します。a の更新後に b と c を検証してください。
現在の実装では、c は b だけを ref_names_ に記録します。a の変更は b を再評価しますが、b の ROS パラメータは更新しません。そのため c の post-set コールバックは実行されず、値が 30.0 のまま残ります。これは PR の依存式再評価の契約に違反します。

Summary
An expression parameter can now reference other parameters on the same node by name:
```yaml
r_wheel: 0.05
v_max_rps: 30.0
v_max_m_s: "r_wheel * v_max_rps * 2 * _pi" # references r_wheel and v_max_rps
```
Referenced parameters may themselves be string expressions (recursive resolution). Cycles are detected and rejected at set time. When a referenced parameter is updated with `ros2 param set`, the dependent expression re-evaluates automatically.
Design
Backward compat
Expressions that only use built-in constants/functions (`"2.0 * _pi / 16384.0"`) work exactly as before. int/double parameters short-circuit before the parser.
Tests
5 new tests added, all pass alongside the existing 10:
Total: 15 tests pass (0 failures).
