 - (tfoote) There should be no jumps in steady time. If there's a big change in system time, it doesn't necessarily mean that time jumped, just that you might have been sleeping for a long time. Most ntp systems adjust the slew rate these days instead of jumping but still that's an external process and I don't know of any APIs to introspect the state of the clock. I'm not sure that we have a way to detect jumps in time for system or steady time. To that end I think that we should be clear that we only provide callbacks when simulation time starts or stops, or simulation time jumps. We should also strongly recommend that operators not actively adjust their system clocks while running ROS nodes.
 - (jacobperron) I agree with Tully, if we don't have a way to detect system time jumps then I think we should just document that this only works with ROS time. In addition to documentation, we could log an info or warning message if the user registers jump callback with steady or system time, but it may be unnecessarily noisy.

+# Notes on statically typed parameters
+
+## Introduction
+
+Until ROS 2 Foxy, all parameters could change type anytime, except if the user installed a parameter callback to reject a change.
+This could generate confusing errors, for example:
+
+```
+$ ros2 run demo_nodes_py listener &
+$ ros2 param set /listener use_sim_time not_a_boolean
+[ERROR] [1614712713.233733147] [listener]: use_sim_time parameter set to something besides a bool
+Set parameter successful
+$ ros2 param get /listener use_sim_time
+String value is: not_a_boolean
+```
+
+For most use cases, having static parameter types is enough.
+This article documents some of the decisions that were made when implementing static parameter types enforcement in:
+
+* https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/pull/1522
+* https://github.com/ros2/rclpy/pull/683
+
+## Allowing dynamically typed parameters
+
+There might be some scenarios where dynamic typing is desired, so a `dynamic_typing` field was added to the [parameter descriptor](https://github.com/ros2/rcl_interfaces/blob/09b5ed93a733adb9deddc47f9a4a8c6e9f584667/rcl_interfaces/msg/ParameterDescriptor.msg#L25).
+It defaults to `false`.
+
+For example:
+
+```cpp
+rcl_interfaces::msg::ParameterDescriptor descriptor;
+descriptor.dynamic_typing = true;
+
+node->declare_parameter("dynamically_typed_parameter", rclcpp::ParameterValue{}, descriptor);
+```
+
+```py
+rcl_interfaces.msg.ParameterDescriptor descriptor;
+descriptor.dynamic_typing = True;
+
+node.declare_parameter("dynamically_typed_parameter", None, descriptor);
+```
+
+## How is the parameter type specified?
+
+The parameter type will be inferred from the default value provided when declaring it.
+
+## Statically typed parameters when allowing undeclared parameters
+
+When undeclared parameters are allowed and a parameter is set without a previous declaration, the parameter will be dynamically typed.
+This is consistent with other allowed behaviors when undeclared parameters are allowed, e.g. trying to get an undeclared parameter returns "NOT_SET".
+Parameter declarations will remain special and dynamic or static typing will be used based on the parameter descriptor (default to static).
+
+## Declaring a parameter without a default value
+
+There might be cases were a default value does not make sense and the user must always provide an override.
+In those cases, the parameter type can be specified explicitly:
+
+```cpp
+// method signature
+template<typename T>
+Node::declare_parameter<T>(std::string name, rcl_interfaces::msg::ParameterDescriptor = rcl_interfaces::msg::ParameterDescriptor{});
+// or alternatively
+Node::declare_parameter(std::string name, rclcpp::ParameterType type, rcl_interfaces::msg::ParameterDescriptor = rcl_interfaces::msg::ParameterDescriptor{});
+
+// examples
+node->declare_parameter<int64_t>("my_integer_parameter");  // declare an integer parameter
+node->declare_parameter("another_integer_parameter", rclcpp::ParameterType::PARAMETER_INTEGER);  // another way to do the same
+```
+
+```py
+# method signature
+Node.declare_parameter(name: str, param_type: rclpy.Parameter.Type, descriptor: rcl_interfaces.msg.ParameterDescriptor = rcl_interfaces.msg.ParameterDescriptor())
+
+# example
+node.declare_parameter('my_integer_parameter', rclpy.Parameter.Type.INTEGER);  # declare an integer parameter
+```
+
+If the parameter may be unused, but when used requires a parameter override, then you could conditionally declare it:
+
+```cpp
+auto mode = node->declare_parameter("mode", "modeA");  // "mode" parameter is an string
+if (mode == "modeB") {
+    node->declare_parameter<int64_t>("param_needed_when_mode_b");  // when "modeB", the user must provide "param_needed_when_mode_b"
+}
+```
+
+## Other migration notes
+
+Declaring a parameter with only a name is deprecated:
+
+```cpp
+node->declare_parameter("my_param");  // this generates a build warning
+```
+
+```py
+node.declare_parameter("my_param");  # this generates a python user warning
+```
+
+Before, you could initialize a parameter with the "NOT SET" value (in cpp `rclcpp::ParameterValue{}`, in python `None`).
+Now this will throw an exception in both cases:
+
+```cpp
+node->declare_parameter("my_param", rclcpp::ParameterValue{});  // not valid, will throw exception
+```
+
+```py
+node.declare_parameter("my_param", None);  # not valid, will raise error
+```
+
+## Possible improvements
+
+### Easier way to declare dynamically typed parameters
+
+Declaring a dynamically typed parameter in `rclcpp` could be considered to be a bit verbose:
+
+```cpp
+rcl_interfaces::msg::ParameterDescriptor descriptor;
+descriptor.dynamic_typing = true;
+
+node->declare_parameter(name, rclcpp::ParameterValue{}, descriptor);
+```
+
+the following ways could be supported to make it simpler:
+
+```cpp
+node->declare_parameter(name, rclcpp::PARAMETER_DYNAMIC);
+node->declare_parameter(name, default_value, rclcpp::PARAMETER_DYNAMIC);
+```
+
+or alternatively:
+
+```cpp
+node->declare_parameter(name, default_value, rclcpp::ParameterDescriptor{}.dynamic_typing());
+```
+
+For `rclpy`, there's already a short way to do it:
+
+```py
+node.declare_parameter(name, default_value, rclpy.ParameterDescriptor(dynamic_typing=true));
+```

+# Proposed node parameters callback Design
+
+## Introduction:
+
+The original requirement came in **gazebo_ros_pkgs** for setting individual wheel slip parameters based on global wheel slip value [link to original issue](https://github.com/ros-simulation/gazebo_ros_pkgs/pull/1365).
+
+The main requirement is to set one or more parameters after another parameter is set successfully.
+
+Additionally, it would be nice if users could be notified locally (via a callback) when parameters have been set successfully (i.e. post validation).
+
+Related discussion can be found in [#609](https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/issues/609) [#1789](https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/pull/1789)
+
+With the current parameters API, the `add_on_set_parameters_callback` is intended for validation of parameter values before they are set, it should **not** cause any side-effects.
+
+There is also the `ParameterEventHandler` that publishes changes to node parameters on `/parameter_events` topic for external nodes to see. Though the node could subscribe to the `/parameter_events` topic to be notified of changes to its own parameters, it is less than ideal since there is a delay caused by waiting for an executor to process the callback.
+
+We propose adding a `PostSetParametersCallbackHandle` for successful parameter set similar to `OnSetParametersCallbackHandle` for parameter validation. Also, we propose adding a `PreSetParametersCallbackHandle` useful for modifying list of parameters being set.
+
+The validation callback is often abused to trigger side effects in the code, for instance updating class attributes even before a parameter has been set successfully. Instead of relying on the `/parameter_events` topic to be notified of parameter changes, users can register a callback with a new API, `add_post_set_parameters_callback`.
+
+It is possible to use the proposed `add_post_set_parameters_callback` for setting additional parameters, but this might result in infinite recursion and does not allow those additional parameters to be set atomically with the original parameter(s) changed.
+To workaround these issues, we propose adding a "pre set" callback type that can be registered with `add_pre_set_parameters_callback`, which will be triggered before the validation callbacks and can be used to modify the parameter list.
+
+![Desgin API](https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp/blob/deepanshu/local-param-changed-callback-support/rclcpp/doc/param_callback_design.png?raw=true)
+
+## Alternatives
+
+* Users could call `set_parameter` while processing a message from the `/parameter_events` topic, however, there is extra overhead in having to create subscription (as noted earlier).
+* Users could call `set_parameter` inside the "on set" parameters callback, however it is not well-defined how side-effects should handle cases where parameter validation fails.

+   *   - run at the same time as themselves (reentrant)
+   *   - run at the same time as other callbacks in their group
+   *   - run at the same time as other callbacks in other groups

+   *   - will not be run at the same time as other callbacks in their group
+   *   - but must run at the same time as callbacks in other groups
+   *
+   * Additionally, callback groups have a property which determines whether or
+   * not they are added to an executor with their associated node automatically.
+   * When creating a callback group the automatically_add_to_executor_with_node
+   * argument determines this behavior, and if true it will cause the newly

+ * A common pattern in C is for a function to take a function pointer and a

+ * It works by using the user data pointer to store a pointer to a

+ * std::function type and call it.
+ *
+ * This should allow you to use free functions, lambdas with and without
+ * captures, and various kinds of std::bind instances.
+ *
+ * The interior of this function is likely to be executed within a C runtime,
+ * so no exceptions should be thrown at this point, and doing so results in
+ * undefined behavior.
+ *
+ * \tparam UserDataRealT Declared type of the passed function
+ * \tparam UserDataT Deduced type based on what is passed for user data,
+ *   usually this type is either `void *` or `const void *`.
+ * \tparam Args the arguments being passed to the callback
+ * \tparam ReturnT the return type of this function and the callback, default void
+ * \param user_data the function pointer, possibly type erased

+/**
+ * Sometimes the CallbackT is a std::function already, but it could also be a
+ * function pointer, lambda, bind, or some variant of those.
+ * In some cases, like a lambda where the arguments can be converted between one
+ * another, e.g. std::function<void (shared_ptr<...>)> and
+ * std::function<void (unique_ptr<...>)>, you need to make that not ambiguous
+ * by checking the arguments independently using function traits rather than
+ * rely on overloading the two std::function types.
+ *
+ * This issue, with the lambda's, can be demonstrated with this minimal program:
+ *
+ * \code{.cpp}
+ *   #include <functional>
+ *   #include <memory>
+ *
+ *   void f(std::function<void (std::shared_ptr<int>)>) {}
+ *   void f(std::function<void (std::unique_ptr<int>)>) {}
+ *
+ *   int main() {
+ *     // Fails to compile with an "ambiguous call" error.
+ *     f([](std::shared_ptr<int>){});
+ *
+ *     // Works.
+ *     std::function<void (std::shared_ptr<int>)> cb = [](std::shared_ptr<int>){};
+ *     f(cb);
+ *   }
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * If this program ever starts working in a future version of C++, this class
+ * may become redundant.
+ *
+ * This helper works by using SFINAE with rclcpp::function_traits::same_arguments<>
+ * to narrow down the exact std::function<> type for the given CallbackT.

+   * differently depending on which entity triggered the waitable to become ready.
+   *
+   * Since this callback is called from the middleware, you should aim to make
+   * it fast and not blocking.
+   * If you need to do a lot of work or wait for some other event, you should

+   * Work that is ready to be done is collected only once, and when collecting that work

+   * The reason for this is that it is not possible to tell if, for example, a ready
+   * subscription has only one message ready or multiple without checking again.
+   * Because, in order to find out if there are multiple messages, one message must
+   * be taken and executed before checking again if that subscription is still ready.
+   * However, this function only checks for ready entities to work on once,

+   * in a single call.
+   *
+   * If there is no work to be done when this called, it will return immediately
+   * because the collecting of available work is non-blocking.
+   * Before each piece of ready work is executed this function checks if the
+   * max_duration has been exceeded, and if it has it returns without starting

+ * event into its queue.
+ *
+ * This executor tries to reduce as much as possible the amount of maintenance operations.
+ * This allows to use customized `EventsQueue` classes to achieve different goals such
+ * as very low CPU usage, bounded memory requirement, determinism, etc.
+ *
+ * The executor uses a weak ownership model and it locks entities only while executing
+ * their related events.
+ *
+ * To run this executor:

+ * executor.add_node(node);
+ * executor.spin();
+ * executor.remove_node(node);

+ * @brief This class provides a way for storing and executing timer objects.
+ * It provides APIs to suit the needs of different applications and execution models.
+ * All public APIs provided by this class are thread-safe.
+ *
+ * Timers management
+ * This class provides APIs to add/remove timers to/from an internal storage.
+ * It keeps a list of weak pointers from added timers, and locks them only when
+ * they need to be executed or modified.
+ * Timers are kept ordered in a binary-heap priority queue.
+ * Calls to add/remove APIs will temporarily block the execution of the timers and
+ * will require to reorder the internal priority queue.
+ * Because of this, they have a not-negligible impact on the performance.
+ *
+ * Timers execution
+ * The most efficient use of this class consists in letting a TimersManager object
+ * to spawn a thread where timers are monitored and optionally executed.
+ * This can be controlled via the `start` and `stop` methods.
+ * Ready timers can either be executed or an on_ready_callback can be used to notify
+ * other entities that they are ready and need to be executed.
+ * Other APIs allow to directly execute a given timer.
+ *
+ * This class assumes that the `execute_callback()` API of the stored timers is never
+ * called by other entities, but it can only be called from here.
+ * If this assumption is not respected, the heap property may be invalidated,
+ * so timers may be executed out of order, without this object noticing it.

+   * Specify which interfaces you need by passing them as template parameters.
+   *
+   * This allows you to aggregate interfaces from different sources together to pass as a single
+   * aggregate object to any functions that take node interfaces or node-likes, without needing to
+   * templatize that function.
+   *
+   * You may also use this constructor to create a NodeInterfaces that contains a subset of
+   * another NodeInterfaces' interfaces.
+   *
+   * Finally, this class supports implicit conversion from node-like objects, allowing you to
+   * directly pass a node-like to a function that takes a NodeInterfaces object.
+   *
+   * Usage examples:
+   *   ```cpp
+   *   // Suppose we have some function:
+   *   void fn(NodeInterfaces<NodeBaseInterface, NodeClockInterface> interfaces);
+   *
+   *   // Then we can, explicitly:
+   *   rclcpp::Node node("some_node");
+   *   auto ni = NodeInterfaces<NodeBaseInterface, NodeClockInterface>(node);
+   *   fn(ni);
+   *
+   *   // But also:
+   *   fn(node);
+   *
+   *   // Subsetting a NodeInterfaces object also works!
+   *   auto ni_base = NodeInterfaces<NodeBaseInterface>(ni);
+   *
+   *   // Or aggregate them (you could aggregate interfaces from disparate node-likes)
+   *   auto ni_aggregated = NodeInterfaces<NodeBaseInterface, NodeClockInterface>(
+   *     node->get_node_base_interface(),
+   *     node->get_node_clock_interface()
+   *   )
+   *
+   *   // And then to access the interfaces:
+   *   // Get with get<>
+   *   auto base = ni.get<NodeBaseInterface>();
+   *
+   *   // Or the appropriate getter
+   *   auto clock = ni.get_clock_interface();
+   *   ```
+   *
+   * You may use any of the standard node interfaces that come with rclcpp:
+   *   - rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeBaseInterface
+   *   - rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeClockInterface
+   *   - rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeGraphInterface
+   *   - rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeLoggingInterface
+   *   - rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeParametersInterface
+   *   - rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeServicesInterface
+   *   - rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeTimeSourceInterface
+   *   - rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeTimersInterface
+   *   - rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeTopicsInterface
+   *   - rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeTypeDescriptionsInterface
+   *   - rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeWaitablesInterface
+   *
+   * Or you use custom interfaces as long as you make a template specialization
+   * of the rclcpp::node_interfaces::detail::NodeInterfacesSupport struct using
+   * the RCLCPP_NODE_INTERFACE_HELPERS_SUPPORT macro.
+   *
+   * Usage example:
+   *   ```cpp
+   *   RCLCPP_NODE_INTERFACE_HELPERS_SUPPORT(rclcpp::node_interfaces::NodeBaseInterface, base)
+   *   ```
+   *
+   * If you choose not to use the helper macro, then you can specialize the
+   * template yourself, but you must:
+   *
+   *   - Provide a template specialization of the get_from_node_like method that gets the interface
+   *     from any node-like that stores the interface, using the node-like's getter
+   *   - Designate the is_supported type as std::true_type using a using directive
+   *   - Provide any number of getter methods to be used to obtain the interface with the
+   *     NodeInterface object, noting that the getters of the storage class will apply to all
+   *     supported interfaces.
+   *     - The getter method names should not clash in name with any other interface getter
+   *       specializations if those other interfaces are meant to be aggregated in the same
+   *       NodeInterfaces object.
+   *
+   * \param[in] node Node-like object from which to get the node interfaces
