Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System

The problem is in dbStaticLib.c line 2334 (dbParseLink):

    /* Link may be an array constant */
    if (pstr[0] == '[' && pstr[len-1] == ']' &&
        (strchr(pstr, ',') || strchr(pstr, '"'))) {
        pinfo->ltype = CONSTANT;
        return 0;
    }

This demands that arrays contain at least one comma or quote. So 1
element string arrays are ok but one element numeric arrays not? Why?

[42] and [] sould be are valid arrays.

Title:

Status in EPICS Base:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Constant input links in array form with 1 element don't work and
  return an empty array.

  field (INP, [42])

  As soon as a comma is present, it works:
  field (INP, [42,])
