I’m trying to implement device support under base-7.0.5, and I’m getting the following warning when I compile:

I looked at the Biascontroller_registerRecordDeviceDriver.cpp code, but it looks identical to the code generated for another project using device support built with an earlier version of EPICS base (R3.15 I think).
Any ideas where I might look to track this down?
Firstly, this warning can simply be ignored. The "uninitialized" field will be initialized to NULL in this context, which is the intent. The warning comes from the addition of usage messages for IOC shell commands in 7.0.4. https://github.com/epics-base/epics-base/commit/ce4fb6085ffccd2ad0c29191d221c55341a485a6 There is no particular reason why the generated *_registerRecordDeviceDriver commands don't have a usage message. Although I can't immediately think of what the wording would be. As a note for _external_ modules wishing to provide a usage message, the macro IOCSHFUNCDEF_HAS_USAGE can be tested to determine if iocshFuncDef::usage exists. https://github.com/epics-base/epics-base/blob/cb97d662a74b8de6d7265a0863edbf88d0486f28/modules/database/src/template/top/exampleApp/src/_APPNAME_Hello.c#L20-L30
