When using an EPICS 7 softIoc.dbd file with a PV from an older version
of Base which didn't have all the fields, our attempts to read those
fields will time out, but the internal logic was buggy. Don't try to
print the values of timed out fields at all. The user will still see a
warning about connection timeouts at the top.
* lp-anj7/expanded-rules:
Generate module version files with new RULES_EXPAND facilities
Extend RULES_EXPAND to add more features
More generator doc updates
Document <library>_API = <stem> for Makefiles
Convert epicsShareAPI to epicsStdCall in modules/ca
Update generator script
Modify rules to allow multiple API.h libraries to be built
Convert modules/ca to use LIBCA_API instead of epicsShare
Try out a representative sample of APIs from multiple libraries
Add build rules to generate and install *API.h header files
Add script to generate *API.h headers
Modifications to allow for CA multicast listening by adding multicast address
from EPICS_CA_BEACON_ADDR_LIST (or EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST if beacon list is empty).
Original modifications from Jim Smedinghoff, with further changes by Pierrick Hanlet.
* lp-Com/use-monotonic:
VxWorks: Measure CPU time-base frequency if necessary
replace most internal getCurrent() -> getMonotonic()
dbScan periodic scan use monotonic time
monotonic adapt to regular time APIs
* main/make-simple:
restore ModuleDirs in caPerlApp
simplify e_flex/antelope path compute
further no need to search for perl modules under bin
skip RELEASE_TOPS
configure: Don't hide any perl scripts being run
missed a TOP
no need to search for perl modules under bin/
drop unnecessary *ModuleDirs
avoided embedded TOP for non sub-modules
Rename modules/RELEASE.local to RELEASE.<host>.local
Modify all submodule configure/RELEASE files to include that, and
update the template configure/RELEASE file to match.
Install Perl *ModuleDirs.pm files into bin/<host> since they contain
absolute paths which may be different on different host arch's.
Scripts that need a ModuleDirs module have been adjusted to look in
their bin/<host> directory for it.
Some additional submodule updates were also incorporated.
