Summary:
The IDL file augments the DDS-standard QoS policies with meta-data defined by this specification in a way that is consistent with the serialization of those policies as defined by the DDS-RTPS specification. Specifically, it defines each policy to be “nested” (meaning that it is intended to be propagated only when contained within another type) to have an extensibility kind of EXTENSIBLE (meaning that members can be appended to the end of the type, but that members cannot be inserted in the middle or reordered).
In contrast, the two new QoS policies introduced by the specification—DataRepresentationQosPolicy and TypeConsistencyEnforcementQosPolicy—are defined to be nested, but their extensibility kinds are not specified. Per this specification, the kind EXTENSIBLE will be inferred by default but could be overridden by implementations. In order to be clear and avoid potential interoperability problems, these types should explicitly specify the extensibility kind EXTENSIBLE, just as all other policies do.
Resolution:
Add the built-in annotation @Extensibility(EXTENSIBLE_EXTENSIBILITY) to the definitions of DataRepresentationQosPolicy and TypeConsistencyEnforcementQosPolicy in the IDL file. -
