Subject: startPVAServer prevents windows-x64 IOC from exiting

Folks,

 

I have found a serious problem with using the PVA server on Windows IOCs that are dynamically built.  The IOC runs fine, but cannot be exited either with the “exit” command or with ^C.  It can only be killed with the Windows Task Manager.  The problem occurs on the following:

 

  • EPICS_HOST_ARCH: window-x64, windows-x64-debug.  Does not occur on windows-x64-static.
  • EPICS BASE: 7.0.7 and 7.0.8.  Did not test other versions.
  • Test application: makeBaseApp.pl from base 7.0.8.  Modified st.cmd to add the line startPVAServer just before iocInit.  Also happens in ADSimDetector with commonPlugins.cmd.

 

Thanks,

Mark
