Re: Number of fields in record ssert error at runtime

Thanks. We did a 'make distclean' in both the support module and the IOC, then recompile both, but error persists. I suspect a bug in the .dbd file for the custom record.

Hi Mike,


My first guess would be that the record.dbd and record.h files are inconsistent.  Try doing "make uninstall" in the module with the record and the module with the IOC.

Subject: Number of fields in record ssert error at runtime


What might be the cause of an assert error at runtime concerning the number of fields in a record?

This happens when the xxxRecordSizeOffset() function is called during record initialization.
The above function is defined in the xxxRecord.h file that is generated at compile time.

The line where it fails says 'assert(pdbRecordType->no_fields==99);'

Why would a record have a different number of fields at runtime than were defined in the structure defining the record?

This is a custom record that we are trying to use.

Thanks for any help...
