There are 'union' types as used for the value in the area detector data if you want to change some
part of the structure at runtime, but generally I don't think you can change the structure at runtime.
The protocol exchanges the structure description at connection time, specifically at the start of a 'get' or 'monitor'. Later just the raw bits are exchanged with some reference to what part of the structure changed.
If you want to modify the structure, you'll have to basically dispose/close the channel and re-create it. Clients should then re-search and on re-connection they'll learn about the new structure.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] pvData Introspection: Change Structure at run time
Folks
Most of the interfaces for Structure require a StructureConstPtr data type.
This is a pointer to an immutable structure.
Suppose I wish the structure to change at run time. What do we do?
