access gateways. Does it use then the maximum amount of elements ?
When a channel connects the maximum number of elements is supplied by the server as a channel attribute. In newer versions of EPICS the current number of elements is returned with each subscription update. In older versions the maximum
number of elements was always returned; when the current number of elements was less than the maximum number then any additional elements at the end were zero padded.

Hi all,
When monitoring a non initialized char array with ca_add_event_array, one gets most of the time in the first element of the array.
This only when the request uses ca_element_count(chid) which is non zero. When using the dynamic behavior by specifiying 0 elements, the received args.count correspond to the actual size of the array, including zero when not initialized.
My question is: when specifying 0, how does that behave in older epics versions and channel access gateways. Does it use then the maximum amount of elements ?
