EPICS base R3.13.0beta1: Known Problems

- -

Device Support, which does not implement special_linconv, is broken

-

In release beta1 changes were made to allow ESLO EOFF to be -database design fields. Because of changes that were made to aiRecord and -aoRecord device support that does not implement special_linconv -may no longer work.

-

To fix aiRecord.c, in init_record replace

-
    if ((pai->linr == menuConvertLINEAR) && pdset->special_li
-nconv) {
-
-

by

-
    if ((pai->eslo==1.0) && (pai->eoff==0.0)) {
-
-

To fix aoRecord.c, in init_record replace

-
    if ((pao->linr == menuConvertLINEAR) && pdset->special_li
-nconv) {
-
-

by

-
    if ((pao->eslo==1.0) && (pao->eoff==0.0)) {

CA puts to disabled record

-

If a CA client issues a put to a disabled record then, when the record is ena -bled, database puts to the record will not make the record process until a CA pu -t is again issued. The fix is:

casEventMask

- -

The multiply-defined fatal error of the type

-
ld: fatal: symbol `resTable<casEventMaskEntry,
-    stringId>::tableSize(void) const' is multiply-defined:
-    (file ../../../../../lib/solaris-sparc->gnu//libcas.a(caServerI.o)
-    and file ../../../../../lib/solaris-sparc-> gnu//libcas.a(casEventMask.o));
-
- -

in the build of base can be fixed by removing line 43

-
template class resTable < casEventMaskEntry, stringId >;
-
- -

from base/src/cas/generic/casEventMask.cc.

config - Old build rules

- -

The following files should be added in the base/config directory to allow -builds of R3.13 (Makefile.Host) extensions with beta1.

configure - New build rules

The following change is needed for shared library builds on Unix hosts.

epicsReadLine

- -

src/libCom/osi/os/default/epicsReadline.c used a char variable to hold the -return value from getc(), and compared this against EOF. getc() returns int -not char because ANSI C allows char to be unsigned if the architecture finds -that easier, thus EOF can never be stored in a char on a PowerPC CPU. char -should be changed to int or signed char.

- -

RTEMS and NTP

- -

The RTEMS startup routine waits until a time synchronization packet is -received from an NTP server. This causes the RTEMS intialization to loop -endlessly if there is no NTP server on the network. This problem has been -fixed in the CVS version by allowing the initialization to time out after a -minute or so and to set the IOC time to January 1, 2001.
