Some other ideas if you want to go with something a little shorter:
RCUTILS_CAN_SET_MSG_AND_RETURN_WITH_ERROR_OF(error_return_value);
RCUTILS_CAN_SET_AND_RETURN_ERROR_OF(error_return_value);
RCUTILS_CAN_SET_ERROR_MSG_AND_RETURN(error_return_value);
But also, should this macro take an error msg argument instead of building its own?

RCUTILS_CAN_SET_MSG_AND_RETURN_WITH_ERROR_OF
Sounds good too.

I thought the same at first. Then it hit me that there's no reasonable error message a user can set to encompass all possible root causes for a given return code, nor it makes sense to duplicate all error messages set elsewhere in the function to stay consistent. We would end up with a bunch of user-defined dummy strings. That's why I made it generic.
Can you think of a use case for a meaningful error message?

That's certainly a good point. The use would just be for debugging purposes. The more unique these messages are the easier it can be to track down where they come from. We can hold off until a strong demand arises.

I would add some comment mentioning that this is part of the fault injection so people understand its intended purpose.
