Iceoryx support fast-dds

[SchwarzeMagie]

Hi @shenkai9999, I plan to make my first code commit this weekend. I still have some details that need to be clarified.

Hi @shenkai9999 Thanks for opening this issue. You are right currently only a gateway using Cyclone DDS is available. There were some activities to add a gateway using FastDDS a couple of years ago but it never got merged, see here: #444

Would you have time to contribute a gateway using FastDDS? If so I would suggest creating a separate repository for it like we did for the Cyclone DDS one. Ping me if I shall create that repository for you.

Hi @mossmaurice. I currently have time to contribute a Fast DDS gateway. Should I submit it to the repository: iceoryx-gateway-dds? Is there a specific version requirement for Fast DDS?

[mossmaurice]

Hi @SchwarzeMagie Great to hear! :) The iceoryx Cyclone DDS Gateway is still based on an older commit. I think adding it to the same repository makes sense. However, you might need to rename and restructure things in there a bit so that the user can choose which DDS implementation to use.

Is there a specific version requirement for Fast DDS?

No, not from my side.

Let me know if you need any help. We can use the chat to discuss any issues: https://gitter.im/eclipse/iceoryx
