Hi:
Where are we with the type enum?
Before the APS meeting,
Ben & Ralph had suggested a type descriptor
similar to what John Sinclair and I
implemented for EDM:
typedef struct
{
// Character of this PV
enum { real, integer, enumerated, text, special } type;
// real ... enumerated: bit size
// text : max length, 0 for variable length
// special : no clue
size_t size;
// Human-readable description. Currently supported:
// "integer:32"
// "real:64" for double
// "enumerated:16"
// "text:0"
const char *description;
} Type;
... with added info for structs and arrays.
At the APS meeting, Marty presented a simple enum:
int16
int32
uint16
uint32
array
struct
...
... which would require additional calls in case you find
an array or struct.
He recently tried to nail the contents down,
when Ben raised concerns which I didn't fully understand.
Now what?
Thanks,
Kay
