Added -q (quiet) flag, renamed INSTALL_QUIETLY build variable.
Moved GENVERSION variables into normal locations.
Changed from :: rule to : rule with FORCE dependency.
Removed use of --git-dir, only works when CWD is TOP.
Simplified some parts, more perlish.
Added VCS used to generated output file.
Expanded on the -v (verbose) output.
If the test starts an IOC, the registerRecordDeviceDriver
routine will compare the absolute path of TOP at build time
against the environment variable value (normally relative)
and print a warning if they differ.
This change cleans up the .tap output from such tests.
Change menuGlobal.dbd and stdRecords.dbd to be generated
as a list of unexpanded include statements, not expanded
out as they have been recently on this branch. This means
any .dbd.pod files in those lists don't have to have been
filtered to remove the POD statements which significantly
simplifies the dependency graph. I had experienced build
loops at times, which this change should prevent.
* Move the construction of the .pc files into src/tools
* Make more use of the built-in rules for variable substitution
* Make PKGCONFIG an Makefile variable for installing .pc files
* Use EPICS_PATCH_LEVEL for the final digit in the version number
Don't generate code to register record types that have only
been declared, i.e. that have no fields defined in them.
This allows libraries to created which only contain device
support without the record types that they support. The
library must have a DBD file that may declare the record
types (to avoid generating a warning) and also contains any
other device(), variable(), function() and registrar()
entries for software included in the library.
Adds -l flag to the registerRecordDeviceDriver program,
which results in epicsExportSharedSymbols being defined
and shareLib.h being reloaded so the generated output file
can be linked into the library that it is registering.
This aspect has not been tested on Windows DLLs yet.
Record types are the only DBD entries for which the parser
will not accept redefinitions. This change lets it accept
a record type declaration any number of times. However once
a record type declaration has been parsed the full record
type definition cannot be loaded, an error will be raised
if the full definition is seen. The parser will still not
accept a full record type definition more than once either,
any later copies of the record type must be declarations.
If a record type named in a device() entry does not exist when
the device is seen, the DBD parser will now print a warning
and create an empty record type with that name to hold the
device entry information.
This will allow support modules to be built into libraries that
include their own registerRecordDeviceDriver code, which was
apparently possible with 3.14 although not officially supported.
To avoid the warning message, the DBD file can declare each
record type before the device statement that uses it.
A record type declaration looks like this:
recordtype(ao) {}
device(ao, ....)
An IOC will accept and ignore a record type declaration, but it
must have loaded the full record type definition first.
