Hi,

In the dynamic array support of PCAS, it does not handle gdd of

container type. Here I put up a fix,

https://github.com/xiaoqiangwang/epics-base/commit/c76a2399ccf5bfb5f76a45ea56df360236d889aa

The reason of post gdd of container type is to workaround this bug,

Ralph Lange and I have today tagged and generated Release Candidate[1]
versions of two new versions of EPICS Base for testing purposes. The
final releases of these will happen in about 2 weeks time provided no
major problems are reported in that period. Please report any problems
you find with these to this tech-talk mailing list.

Base-3.14.12.6-rc1
   See http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/base/R3-14/12.php for the download
link and Release Notes.

Base-3.15.5-rc1
   See http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/base/R3-15/5.php for the download
link and documentation.

These releases contain bug-fixes and various minor updates, and should
be compatible with software written for previous releases. See the
published Release Notes for details. Most of these modifications were
first applied to the Base-3.14 branch and the changes merged up to the
Base-3.15 branch.

One new feature that is present in both releases is that PCAS now
supports variable length array monitor updates — thanks to Matej
Sekoranja, Bruce Hill and Ralph Lange for implementing that.

The 3.15 branch does contain a major performance improvement to the IOC
when loading large numbers of database records.

Thanks to all the EPICS Core Developers for their work on these releases.
