registerRecordDeviceDriver Name Change

+

All application iocBoot/iocxxx/st.cmd files must be modified for R3.14.3 as +the generated routine that registers record device and driver support has been +renamed to incorporate the name of the dbd file it came from. The change to +the startup script is straightforward; any pair of lines like this:

+ +
+
dbLoadDatabase("dbd/something.dbd",0,0)
+registerRecordDeviceDriver(pdbbase)
+
+ +

must have the second line changed so the result looks like this:

+ +
+
dbLoadDatabase("dbd/something.dbd",0,0)
+something_registerRecordDeviceDriver(pdbbase)
+
+ +

There may be other pathname components in the dbLoadDatabase line which +should remain exactly as before.
