Hi Mark,

thanks a lot, this looks like the solution I've been looking for. I'll

look into it.

Cheers, Laurenz

The ezca library is one such wrapper.  https://github.com/epics-extensions/ezca

It is not C++ classes, but it does remove the need to write callback functions, etc.  It lets you do basic Channel Access in a few lines of code.

Subject: channel-access support for c++

Hello,

This might sound like a stupid question, as epics is written in c, but I
am looking for a _simple and convenient_ way to add channel-access
support to a c++ program (that has nothing to do with epics so far, on
windows), i.e. reading and writing from and to epics channels. Best
would be to just import an epics library if possible? In many
programming languages there are quite convenient wrappers for this (e.g.
python), but for c/c++ I did not find anything similar. Could anyone
point me to a good example for such a case?

Thanks, Laurenz
