With gcc -std=gnu99 (present default) functions qualified
with plain 'inline' emit strong public symbols (nm says 'T')
in every compilation unit the definition appears.
This causes linking to fail in all cases where executable
are statically linked, and many where dynamic linking is used.
Windows has signed characters, but if you pass a negative
value (i.e. a character with value >= 0x80) into the debug
version of its isprint() runtime library function it asserts.
The windows shell doesn't like commands that start ../
Those commands are all found using TOOLS, so by making that
an absolute path we fix that problem.
However GNUmake doesn't recognize targets with relative paths
as being the same as their absolute path, so we have to fix up
some places that were using TOOLS in dependencies.
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 6.9 deprecated several symFindBy...() routines, which
result in warning messages at build-time. I rewrote the code
that uses these to use the newer API on VxWorks 6.9.
Also deprecated the two epicsDynLink.h symFindByNameEPICS()
and symFindByNameAndTypeEPICS() routines; epicsFindSymbol() in
epicsFindSymbol.h is now available on most platforms instead.
* 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.
The SunPro C++ compiler doesn't like osdElfFindAddr, so I converted
it back to C, but then I had to make the osdFindAddr files C to match.
Now elfRead() can't use a static initializer to get the program start
time, so I added a public routine to osiClockTime.c to return that.
Also fixed various indentations in Till's code.
