Re: EPICS Base Release-Candidate Double Feature!

[Wang Xiaoqiang <xiaoqiang.wang@psi.ch>]

Hi,

In the dynamic array support of PCAS, it does not handle gdd of 
container type. Here I put up a fix,
https://github.com/xiaoqiangwang/epics-base/commit/c76a2399ccf5bfb5f76a45ea56df360236d889aa

The reason of post gdd of container type is to workaround this bug,
