In particular, make sure it exports targets so downstream users can use those.

While we are here, migrate away from ament_target_dependencies, update to C++17, and move the includes down one directory level (for better workspace overlay support).

If you export targets, what purpose is this line?

It's to support downstream packages that haven't yet switched over to targets. It's a nice way to make sure we can gradually enable targets without forcing all downstream packages to switch at the same time.

This seems to work in my testing locally, both with Humble and with Rolling. So going ahead and merging this one, thanks for the reviews.

as a general rule, should any project with ament_target_dependencies be updated?

It's a good question.

The ROS 2 core, as of Jazzy, has been (almost) completely converted to use target_link_libraries. But we haven't made any communication about this, sort of on purpose. There is one major problem, in that you can't currently use a single target for message packages (e.g. target_link_libraries(lib PRIVATE sensor_msgs::sensor_msgs) doesn't work). Instead, you have to do target_link_libraries(lib PRIVATE ${sensor_msgs_TARGETS}), which ensures you pull in all of targets necessary. We need to fix that before we make a general announcement about, and probably write some documentation on how to convert away from ament_target_dependencies.

That said, if you are OK with that workaround, it is not a bad idea to get started on the conversion, since we eventually do want to deprecate ament_target_dependencies.

@clalancette Will you also backport this change into jazzy?

As it stands, Rolling and Jazzy use the same development branch, so I just did a release today of bond_core into Jazzy as well.
