Hi

I have an ASYN port.

It registers the DrvUser interface:

I have this function:

asynStatus piDrvUserCreate(void *drvPvt, asynUser *pasynUser,
				  const char *drvInfo, const char **pptypeName,size_t *psize)
{
  PythonPort *myport = (PythonPort*)drvPvt;
  if (!myport){
    printf("### ERROR - drvPvt = NULL\n");
    return asynError;
  }
  printf("user = %p\n",pasynUser);
  printf("drvUser = %p\n",pasynUser->drvUser);
  PythonUser *myuser = new PythonUser(myport,drvInfo);
  pasynUser->drvUser = myuser;
  return asynSuccess;
}

Now my .db file has:

record(longout,"p0")
{
        field(DTYP,"asynInt32")
        field(OUT,"@asyn(testp) printp")
        field(DESC,"burb")
}

dbl IOC command confirms I have only one record!

Yet output on IOC:

user = 0x80ee96c
drvUser = (nil)
Creating Python User options=printp
user = 0x80eeb24
drvUser = (nil)
Creating Python User options=printp
iocInit: All initialization complete

asynReport confirm that there is only 1 portname testp

I don't get it
Why is CreateUser called twice with different asynUser's ??

I've seen this dual-called behaviour of DrvUser before in my other
drivers. This time I would like to figure it out :)

Thanks in advance!
