I downloaded asyn R4-18 togather with the latest STREAM
device(StreamDevice-2.5).
I can build asynR4-18 on MacOSX Linon10.7.2 with EPICS base 3-14.12.1
without any problem.
However, I got the following warning message to build StreamDevice-2.5:

> ../StreamBusInterface.cc:69:14: warning: variable 'r' is uninitialized when used here [-Wuninitialized]

I'm new to the StreamDevice, so I don't know this warning may or may not
cause anyproblem in the real application. But, in general, it seems
better to fix the problem.
Possible solutions are:

1) initialise r with 0, as suggested by compiler:

     StreamBusInterfaceRegistrarBase* r=0;

2) initialise r with StreamBusInterfaceRegistrarBase::first which
defined in StreamBusInterface.cc

     StreamBusInterfaceRegistrarBase* r=
StreamBusInterfaceRegistrarBase::first;

I believe it better to use 2nd option, but I would like to ask gurus in
the collaboration if threre is a reason I should not do this way.

This would happen when interrupts were only enabled on the falling or rising edges but not both. Added an additional form of setUIntDigitalParam that takes an interruptMask argument. In the previous releases drivers were calling setUInt32Interrupt for callbacks which is not correct. That function should only be called by device support to tell the driver which interrupts to recognize. These problems made the quadEM not work correctly with the ipUnidig.
