<p>Database definition (.dbd) files can now contain declarations of simple
static variables, a facility intended for driver debugging purposes. These
<code>variable(name)</code> declarations are preserved by dbExpand, and will
be converted by registerRecordDeviceDriver.pl into code that registers them
with iocsh. The variables themselves must be defined in some existing C or
C++ code and marked using the macro <code>epicsExportAddress(type,
name)</code>. The initial implementation only supports integers, but other
types will be added soon.</p>
<code>variable(name)</code> or <code>variable(name,type)</code> declarations
are preserved by dbExpand (<code>type</code> is <code>int</code> if omitted),
and will be converted by registerRecordDeviceDriver.pl into code that
registers them with iocsh. The variables themselves must be defined in some
existing C or C++ code and marked using the macro
<code>epicsExportAddress(type,name)</code>. Only plain <code>int</code> and
<code>double</code> types are supported.</p>
