I successfully ran mrkHwdTest

I also succesfully ran mrkSoftTest

a) All test that can be run on vxWorks (68040 processors)
b) All tests that can have a combination on a solaris and a linux ioc

Janet also asked me to try testing for sparc64, i.e. with

EPICS_HOST_ARCH=solaris-sparc64.

I get many many warning messages like:

/opt/SUNWspro/bin/CC -c -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L

-D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -DUNIX -DSOLARIS=9 -mt -D__EXTENSIONS__

-O +w -xtarget=ultra -xarch=v9 -xtarget=ultra -xarch=v9 -KPIC

-I. -I.. -I../../../include/os/solaris -I../../../include

../dbSubscriptionIO.cpp

"../../../include/epicsTime.h", line 328: Warning: Conversion of 64 bit

type value to "unsigned" causes truncation.

"../../../include/epicsTime.h", line 329: Warning: Conversion of 64 bit

type value to "unsigned" causes truncation.

2 Warning(s) detected.

I succssfully ran a couple of tests in mrkSoftTest.

HOWEVER the example application crashes.

I determined that it was related to
record(compress,"$(user):compressExample")
{
       field(DESC, "Circular buffer")
       field(INP,"$(user):aiExample.VAL CP NMS")
       field(ALG,"Circular Buffer")
       field(NSAM,"10")
       field(HOPR,"10")
       field(EGU,"Counts")
}

That is the CP input link.

dbCa got the callbacks from channel access for connection and initial

values and returned.

After that the crash occured but I did not pursue it further.

Is it worth pursuing further for release 3.14.8?

Sounds like it may take some real work to be ready for full 64 bit

architectures.
