function - New Database Definition Keyword
+ +dbStaticLib and related programs now accept a new keyword in DBD files:
+function(name)+ +
Where 'name' is the name of a +function with "C" linkage that is included in the IOC binary. This function +will be automatically registered with the registry at the same time as the +record/device/driver tables, and is intended to make using subroutine records +much easier on non-vxWorks systems.. Prior R3.14 releases required there to +be a static registration routine for such subroutines.
+ +dbStaticLib has two additional routines to support this, dbDumpFunction() +and dbWriteFunctionFP(). dbDumpFunction has been added to the iocsh command +table.
+ +iocsh
+ +When executing commands from a script file, iocsh now echoes each command +to the terminal before execution. This makes it much easier to see where +errors are being reported.
+ +Solaris build requirement
+ +uname must be defined for builds +on solaris hosts because it is used to determine the solaris version.
