Epics gateway writeNotify issue

["Provenzano Matteo" <matteo.provenzano@psi.ch>]

Hello everybody,

 

I recompiled the epics gateway with the base.3.14.12. Now if I try to execute a writeNotify I always get the following error in the log file:

 

Virtual gateVcData::write called for <channel name>

   This is an error!

 

I searched for the source of this error and I found it in the file gateVc.cc (gateway/):

 

// This is the virtual write function defined in casPV.  It should no

// longer be called if casChannel::write is implemented.

caStatus gateVcData::write(const casCtx& ctx, const gdd& dd)

{

        fprintf(stderr,"Virtual gateVcData::write called for %s.\n"

          "  This is an error!\n",name());

        return S_casApp_noSupport;

}

 

This function is actually called by this piece of code in casPV.cc (which is in

epics base/):

 

//

// casPV::writeNotify()

//

caStatus casPV :: writeNotify (

    const casCtx & ctx, const gdd & val )

{

    // plumbed this way to preserve backwards

    // compatibility with the old interface which

    // did not include a writeNotify interface

        return this->write ( ctx, val );

}

 

With the epics base.3.14.8 there was no problem.

 

Has anyone idea how to solve this problem?

 

Thank you for your help,

 

Cheers,

 

Matteo
