September 2025 Monthly Summary (eProsima/Fast-DDS-python): Delivered targeted cross-platform build reliability improvements and SWIG binding enhancements. Key work focused on standardizing shared library naming across non-Windows platforms and strengthening Python bindings for fixed-size string handling. Major deliverables: - Cross-Platform Shared Library Naming Consistency: Ensured macOS and other non-Windows platforms generate consistent .so shared libraries by configuring the CMake suffix (commit 57a5541adddf9af6d4338872bba559d8f760e111). This reduces platform-specific build and packaging issues. - SWIG Interface Utility Enhancement: Added fixed_string_field_str helper in the SWIG interface to facilitate conversion from fixed-size strings, improving data interchange between C++ Fast-DDS and Python. Impact and outcomes: - Improved portability and reliability of Python bindings across macOS, Linux, and other non-Windows environments. - Smoother integration for downstream users requiring consistent library naming and robust string handling in bindings. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - CMake build customization for cross-platform artifacts - SWIG interface development and Python bindings - Cross-platform testing and validation, packaging reliability Overall business value: - Reduced platform-specific surprises for users and downstream integrations, accelerating adoption and reducing support effort.
