Hi Andrei,

You will be able to reimplement your logging code using the hook I am proposing. The routine called via the the recGblAlarmHook pointer is passed the *previous* values for the record's alarm status and severity as parameters, and can get the new values directly from the record's prec->stat and prec->sevr fields. Thus all the same information is available to the hook routine as was available where you inserted the changes in your modified version.

The aim of providing hooks like this is so that those sites that are not interested in functionality such as logging alarms are not significantly penalized, but users like you who want to do so are able to hook the IOC into their logging subsystem without having to make any changes to the source code of Base at all.

- Andrew
