This branch fixes several tests.
I also added some changes that tell users which .db/.dbd file
was missing if the db and filter test programs abort, and
extend the search path so the tests can be run from the test
directory as well as from the O.<arch> directory.
This separates out the rules for %.d files from the rules that
create the related target file (%.o etc). Doing this can reduce
the amount of work to be done when rebuilding applications after
making source changes. For files in O.Common which can be built
by any target architecture this can solve problems when parallel
builds (-j) are used.
* Renamed the enum epicsEventWaitStatus to epicsEventStatus
* Defined epicsEventWaitStatus as a macro for epicsEventStatus
* Renamed epicsEventWaitOk to epicsEventOk
* Renamed epicsEventWaitError to epicsEventError
* Defined epicsEventWaitOK and epicsEventWaitError as macros
* Added epicsEventTrigger(id) which triggers an event and returns OK or an
error status if the underlying OS primitives report an error
* Added epicsEventMustTrigger(id) which halts on error
* Defined epicsEventSignal(id) as a macro for epicsEventMustTrigger(id)
* Added a new C++ method epicsEvent::trigger() which throws an
epicsEvent::invalidSemaphore in the event of an error
* epicsEvent::signal() makes an inline call to epicsEvent::trigger()
* epicsEventWait() and epicsEventWaitWithTimeout() now return an error
status if the underlying OS primitives report an error
* All the epicsEventMust...() routines are now implemented in the common
libCom/osi/epicsEvent.cpp source file, and call cantProceed() instead of
mis-using assert()
* Implemented epicsEventShow() on Posix
Fixed a bug reported by Michael Abbott, NORD goes -ve.
Modified soft channel support so when INP="" it extracts the relevent
sub-array of the existing VAL field; use an external put to set the
array. This lets the other records pull a series of values from the
record in sequence.
Removed the Converting... files for older releases
No known problems yet.
Updated README.html and regenerated README.1st from it.
Added windows-x64 target to the Release notes.
Tom Pelaia II and Mark Engbretson contributed the build configuration
and OS-dependent files, I modified the build config to bring it up to
R3.14.12 standards and added the Release Notes.
