Hi Ralph,

Now, that CloudBees is back in business.

I was hoping to pick up fixes for the following issues:

Are these still under review?

Bug #1790723 “Database HW link parameter string no longer option...” : Bugs : EPICS Base

bugs.launchpad.net

Until and including 3.15 -- (I didn't look at 3.16) the parameter string '@<parameter>' was an optional part of hardware link fields. In V7 this no longer seems to be the case dbStaticLib:2320:        if (parm && pinfo->ltype != RF_IO) {             /* move parm string to beginning of buffer */             memmove(pinfo->target, parm, len + 1);         } else if (!parm && pinfo->ltype == RF_IO) {             /* RF_IO, the string isn't needed at all */             free(pinfo->target);      ...

Bug #1790715 “rsrv: failed to set mcast ttl 1” : Bugs ...

bugs.launchpad.net

We have a standard solution for differing setsockopt argument sizes, see the typedefs in libcom/ src/osi/ os/*/osdSock. h and the section above in client/udpiiu.cpp It might be Okay to re-use osiSockOptMcast Loop_t since it probably has the same size on all targets, but for safety's sake I would probably define a new typedef.

Cheers,
