Title:
  MSI doesn't handle empty substitution patterns correctly

Status in EPICS Base:

Status in EPICS Base 3.15 series:

Status in EPICS Base 7.0 series:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  EPICS 3.15.6 doesn't handle empty substitution patterns correctly
  anymore:

  file "a.db" {
    { }
  }

  results in

  msi: Parse error, unexpected '}'

  No problems with older versions of Base. I'm able to work around the
  problem by using:

  file "a.db" {
    { DUMMY="" }
  }

  This regression was introduced by the following commit:
