Hi Pierrick,

 

I have used epicsRegisterFunction from C++ code with no problems on 7.0.3.1.  Look at:

 

https://github.com/areaDetector/ADCore/blob/master/ADApp/ADSrc/myAttributeFunctions.cpp

 

It contains:

 

static int myAttrFunct1(const char *paramString, void **functionPvt, functAttribute *pAttribute) {

…

}

…

extern "C" {

epicsRegisterFunction(myAttrFunct1);

}

 

 

Hi,
I'm on a linux SL7.6 machine and am using v7.0.3.1.

I don't understand the epicsRegisterFunction macro.  I've used aSubRecords dozens of times
with C files, but now that I'm attempting to use it in a C++ file, I cannot get the macro to
do its magic.  At the bottom of my xxx.cpp file with all the correct headers, I have the code:
extern "C" {
  short PVdata(struct aSubRecord*);
}
short PVdata(struct aSubRecord *pvData) {
  return 0;               // this will eventually be real code
}
extern "C" {
  epicsRegisterFunction(PVdata);
}

This results in:

Am I misusing epicsRegisterFunction() somehow?


As a second issue, I get some weird warning messages:
