Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Some of the filter tests appear questionable to me.

test/ioc/db/dbChArrTest.cpp:144 reads:

    const epicsInt32 res_10_4[] = {14,15,16,17,18,19,10,11,12,13};
    TEST1(10, 4, "wrapped", res_10_4);

I find this "wrap around" feature surprising. The array filter
documentation does not mention it.

The reason I am asking about this particular test is, of course, that my
refactor breaks it. I think I could restore the behavior as expressed by
the test but before I do that I wanted to ask if it is really intended
and considered worth keeping.

I should mention that this feature worked only in the dbfl_type_rec case
and not in the case of dbfl_type_ref. This means that if another filter
is run before the array filter, and that filter makes a copy of the
array, then the "wrap around" feature doesn't work anymore.

Cheers
Ben
