Re: C++ version of PCASpy

No problem.

Unfortunately, all of our clients are still using CA and will need to continue to for some time.

Sorry, misunderstood.

 

The PCAS example, https://github.com/epics-modules/pcas/tree/master/src/template/top/caServerApp, would be your best starting point, but I see how that’s more to type than the python example.

Some clients can by now talk both CA and PVA, so maybe implementing the server in PVA is an option?

A PVA server in C++ looks much simpler than a PCAS server:
