Major rewrites; the original epicsStrnRawFromEscaped() could read
beyond the end of the input buffer if the input count ended in the
middle of an octal or hex escape sequence. Zero termination did not
always match the return count, and hex escapes were always 2 digits,
contrary to the C standard.
New versions don't use epicsSnprintf() or sscanf() for hex and octal
conversions, so should be slightly faster.
Added 81 new tests to check the above issues.
* VxWorks 5.5.2 doesn't like C++-style variable declarations in C code
* Older MS compiler doesn't have strto[u]ll
* Wrote release note entry for iocshLoad command.
osiSpawnDetachedProcess() switches to SCHED_OTHER after fork() so
the new program will not be real-time unless is requests it itself.
Only happens when USE_POSIX_THREAD_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING = YES
To Do:
* Test that -l the flag to registerRecordDeviceDriver.pl works
as expected on Windows.
* Modify example template, or create a new template.
* Work out if/how this affects VxWorks, can we generate a munch
file that works the same way as a shared library?
* Test on all arch's, especially Darwin & Windows.
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.
There's a plugin for Jenkins which should be able to read the .tap
output files and generate pretty test status pages from them.
I haven't actually tried using it yet though...
Hostnames that begin with one or more digits were not being looked up
by name, causing problems at BNL.
This commit also changes the vxWorks implementation of hostToIPAddr()
to use inet_aton() instead of inet_addr().
