Did you hit a case where there was a multiple of a type in here? all_type_descriptions should be a unique set to begin with

Yes, I ran into this problem.

For an unknown reason, this is not an unique set....

Hm, I guess toplevel_msg['type_description'] and toplevel_msg['referenced_type_descriptions'] are equal in this special case ?

Oh, yeah - because you have

# ParameterValue.msg
ParameterValue[] value_array_value

Then toplevel_msg['referenced_type_descriptions'] contains as one of its members the toplevel_msg['type_description']. So, there can only be this one possible case where any type gets defined twice, and that's if it is self-referencing. I think this change is fine, given that. No need to add a special-case code when you can detect it generically like this.

static char @(typename_to_c(itype_description['type_name']))__TYPE_NAME[] = "@(itype_description['type_name'])";
@{
added_itype_names.add(itype_description['type_name'])
}@

I think I understand that you are putting the Sequence struct before the single struct, so that the single struct could contain as members a Sequence of itself, correct?

If so, maybe add that to the comment for future readers. Could even put it in a template comment @# just so it's only for people modifying the template in the future

This is just a forward decl for a function defined lower down, right? If you could you add a comment to that effect? Is it not already declared in the .hpp.em header, and if so could we just include that instead? Why is the forward decl needed?

If we do need the forward declaration here - then I want to point out this expression

'::'.join([package_name] + list(interface_path.parents[0].parts))

Which is repeated many times in this file, and I think could be factored out into a variable at the top level block for easier reading and refactoring. Maybe factor out

message_namespace = '::'.join([package_name] + list(interface_path.parents[0].parts))
message_namespaced_name = '::'.join([message_namespace, message-structure.namespaced_type.name])

And that would really simplify some of the expressions farther down, make them more readable

We are declaring that a special instance of the template function (for the given template argument) is present, and will be defined later. If we don't do this, we will get a compile error. (Usage of template function before instantiation)

I refactored the rest of the code as suggested.
