Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System
All,
In the portable CA server's API we are currently passing data
using a C++ class library called GDD. Currently there is a consensus
among the APS and LANL developers to use a different approach
for interfacing with proprietary data in the future.
There is also now a strong push originating at APS to change or
completely rewrite nearly all of my existing C++ based utility libraries.
Bob has requested that I not assume that backwards compatibility is
needed, and instead query all of you to see how much interest there
is in maintaining backwards compatibility with these original C++
based APIs.
So here is the question for sites that use any of the existing
C++ based APIs: will it impact your site if backwards compatibility
is not maintained for any of the following codes.
o GDD (there is consensus that this needs to be eventually replaced)
o portable server (its API currently uses GDD)
o osiTimer (APS intends to replace the API)
o tsDLList (APS intends to install their complete rewrite)
o tsSLList (APS intends to install their complete rewrite)
o resourceLib (APS intends to install their complete rewrite)
Thanks in advance.
Jeff
