DynamicData does not seem to be working.

Hello, I am trying to set a project to use the DynamicData API. While trying to compile it I quickly found that there are a lot of simple typos and bugs that prevent this section of code from compiling. (EX. line 66 of TDynamicData.hpp has uint32_T, notice the uppercase T, which prevents things from compiling). I fixed these simple bugs and went on to discover significantly more complicated issues.
My question is if the DynamicData API was every full implemented and if so I could get some help setting my system up or if I am working at code that was never completed. Thanks.

@styrestuff I am afraid the DynamicData API hasn't been implemented yet. It is not all bad, though: the C API provides functions for programmatically constructing types (https://github.com/eclipse-cyclonedds/cyclonedds/tree/master/examples/dyntype). That in turn allows one to serialise/deserialise samples, but to introspect the types and to read/write the contents of a sample, you currently still need to use the XTypes type objects directly. (See, e.g. the https://github.com/eclipse-cyclonedds/cyclonedds/tree/master/examples/dynsub example.)

The plan has always been to add functions in the C API for the bits you need the XTypes type objects for currently, but that hasn't been done yet. Time is limited ...

The C++ DynamicData API can then be built on top of that C API.

Perhaps you feel like looking into this? It would be much appreciated!
