Research direction
The request is to add uint and uint_array next to existing int/int_array so YAML can drop lower_element_bounds: 0, with a sign check and a C++ uint32_t cast. Start by locating how integer types are declared, validated, and emitted in this ROS 2 parameter generator. Done means the new types are accepted in YAML, generate the unsigned C++ types, and existing int behavior is unchanged. No files or tests are named in the issue.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Would it make sense to allow uint as a type, next to int?
It would reduce this:
buttons:
type: int_array
validation:
lower_element_bounds<>: 0
To this:
buttons:
type: uint_array
So internally it could do a sanity check on the sign and (for c++) cast to an uint32_t.
