Re: TPRO Field Definition

[Michael Davidsaver <mdavidsaver@bnl.gov>]

From what I can see TPRO is only ever tested zero/non-zero.

$ grep -w tpro src/db*/*
src/db/dbAccess.c:      unsigned char   tpro=precord->tpro;                                                                                                       
src/db/dbAccess.c:      if (tpro) {                                                                                                                               
src/db/dbAccess.c:                if (precord->tpro)

I’m looking through the Documentation on "Fields common to all record types", and I see that TPRO is defined as:

which seems to imply that the only valid contents are 0 or 1.

I see that TPRO is defined as a UCHAR, in the section earlier, so I am wondering…..

I need to print varied amounts of information on a record as it’s being processed, during a debugging session, so can I  plan on using values assigned in TPRO -other- than just 0 and 1  (2,3….) to vary the amount of information printed by the device driver.

Unless this is a problem,  can the definition of that field be adjusted to state that numbers greater than 0 print information on the record each time it is processed?
