<p>If the code uses the old db_access.h types (probably because it's calling
|
||||
Channel Access APIs) then it will have to test against the EPICS version number
|
||||
instead, like this:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote><pre>
|
||||
#include <epicsVersion.h>
|
||||
|
||||
#ifndef VERSION_INT
|
||||
# define VERSION_INT(V,R,M,P) ( ((V)<<24) | ((R)<<16) | ((M)<<8) | (P))
|
||||
#endif
|
||||
#ifndef EPICS_VERSION_INT
|
||||
# define EPICS_VERSION_INT VERSION_INT(EPICS_VERSION, EPICS_REVISION, EPICS_MODIFICATION, EPICS_PATCH_LEVEL)
|
||||
#endif
|
||||
|
||||
#if EPICS_VERSION_INT >= VERSION_INT(3,16,1,0)
|
||||
/* Code where Base has INT64 support */
|
||||
#else
|
||||
/* Code for older versions */
|
||||
#endif
|
||||
</pre></blockquote>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Channel Access does not (and probably never will) directly support 64-bit
|
||||
integer types, so the new field types are presented to the CA server as
|
||||
<tt>DBF_DOUBLE</tt> values. This means that field values larger than 2^52
