Title:
WIN32: IOC scan loops hang
Status in EPICS Base:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The IOC scan loops hung on all IOCs on several computers, on
investigation this looks to be caused by the monotonic clock wrapping.
The values of next and now in dbScan.c / periodicTask() are consistent
with GetTickCount() wrapping (which happens every 49.7 days), which I
believe lead to epicsEventWaitWithTimeout() being called with a large
delay. I was initially confused by the debugger saying a delay of 0
had been passed to epicsEventWaitWithTimeout(), but I cannot see how
this is possible (the minimum delay should be penalty) so I assume the
debugger is reporting incorrectly due to the code being in release
mode.
The epics Monotonic time functions should not normally be using
GetTickCount(), however it looks like the logic in the test for
whether to use GetPerformanceCounter() is inverted and so
GetTickCount() is always used. I will push a patch to fix this, and
also to use GetTickCount64() as a fallback instead (which wraps on a
much longer timescale).
