The string comparison functions epicsStrCaseCmp() and
epicsStrnCaseCmp() were returning incorrect results
when the strings did not match.
These functions now match their BSD equivalents, and
have working tests to confirm their operation.
Parse EPICS_CAS_INTF_ADDR_LIST into new ELLLIST casIntfAddrList.
Display warning if contains more than one entry.
Bind the TCP socket to the first address in this list.
Xiaoqiang Wang proposed some fixes that allow static builds on
the MinGW targets to succeed. Some additional changes made to
blockingSockTest.cpp also clean that up.
Allow the NTP Time provider (used on VxWorks and RTEMS only)
to adapt to changes in the OS clock tick rate after the provider
has been initialized.
Changing the tick rate after iocInit() is not advisable,
other software might still misbehave if initialized before
an OS tick rate change.
Fix unchecked buffer allocation in dbChannel.c
Replace calls to epicsStrDup() with checked malloc() for
things that happen often after iocInit.
Michael Davidsaver pointed out this issue.
Fractional seconds could round-up to .000 without
incrementing the integer seconds.
We can't actually do the latter, so we prevent the
roll-over and clamp at all 9's instead.
Idea from Eric Norum.
VxWorks 6.x can make environment variables private to each
thread, which doesn't work too well.
A test failure on VxWorks explains how to change the image
configuration to fix this.
o suprressed some compile time warnings in bucketLib.c
o cleaned up cxx templates README
o removed use of tsMinMax from libCom in favor of the standard library
(calls to tsMinMax still exist in other components in base, but they are being removed)
o removed sharable library export of certain private member functions from class fdManager
o fixed aToIPAddr to correctly lookup all of the different IP addresses string types on all OS types
independent of the OS interfae variations
o removed use of inet_aton from vxWorks implementation of hostToIPAddr
o this function is for converting a host name to an ip address _only_
o the aToIPAddr wrapper is supposed to do the dotted ip ascii string to ip address structure
conversion independent of OS spoecific interface variations, when it works correctly
o fixed some spelling issues in comments
o added additional optimizations for processors w/o floating point ALU to addNanoSec in epicsTime
o removed tabs and junk comments from win32 osdProcess.c
o moved PLL update in win32 osdTime.c from timer to a dedicated thread
o added missing epicsExportShared symbols define to osiNTPTime.c
o fixed server ctor should not modify arguments of its caller in blockingSockTest
o removed sunpro specific ifdef nolomger needed from epicsTimeTest.cpp
