In version 2 I use two function calls, the first one translates the event string to a pointer to the scan list and the second one posts the event with this pointer, which I store in a new SPEC_NOMOD field of the record. This is probably the reason why this approach is even faster than the original implementation with a lookup table. It eliminates one indirection.

The added complexity is that one must make sure to call the translation function only when necessary. That means that the record and/or device support code must find out when the event name has changed. Doing that wrongly reduces the performance to the original approach of doing the string search every time.

Can anyone tell me how I can publish version 2 here in launchpad without overwriting version 1?
And how to publish the test setup?
