Subject: Re: Get the type of a PV in C++ API
Hello Ralph.
First of all, thanks for your reply. I know the existence of PVXS library and I have already used it succesfully on my project. The problem is that, at the moment, I've noticed that it's slow for our project and I'm looking for a solution
with the first-generation API.
It could also be an error in my code, what I'm doing at the moment is this:
pvxs::Value
reply
= ctxt.get(var_name_str).exec()->wait();
pvxs::TypeCode
type_var
= reply["value"].type();
Thanks, Eusebio.

Not an answer to your question, but...
That library you are using is part of the first generation of user-facing
libraries.
Meanwhile, there's a second generation (both for C++ and Java) with more
modern and language-specific API designs. Better usability, easier to work
with, better performance.
These second-generation libraries are stable; they will be replacing the
older generation.
For your use case: The C++ second-generation library is called PVXS -

For any new development - please start there. It will save you from
migrating your application at some point in the near future.
Cheers,
~Ralph

Hello everybody.
I have a small question. In the pvaClient library for C++ (
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://docs.epics-controls.org/projects/pvaclient-cpp/en/latest/__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!QvJCJFvFjdyKLmOVaaoqQ-_7p7M-QOxB1j1874UChwdwp4EIbx70WhtalgizLcJWAVZmwNrzC6XHFczTX6fDGW9p$
) there
are many examples to get the value and other fields of a PV.
However, in order to get the value as a double, like in this example
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/epics-rip/exampleCPP/blob/master/exampleClient/src/examplePvaClientGet.cpp__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!QvJCJFvFjdyKLmOVaaoqQ-_7p7M-QOxB1j1874UChwdwp4EIbx70WhtalgizLcJWAVZmwNrzC6XHFczTXz1KPekp$
,
you have to previously know that the PV value is a double. Is there any
method to get the type (int, long, double...) of the value field? Something
like ->getType().
Thanks in advance.
