Dear Dirk,
I'm sorry this isn't a more helpful report, but I'm continuing to see
problems with stream Device version 2 (my latest test was with version
2.4, I believe) with I/O Intr records.
For a long time (a couple of years, I think) my IOCs would see crashes
when using stream Device v2 on my configuration (which I'll describe in a
moment), so I'm currently running them with stream Device v1 (ported to
3.14). There were some bug fixes in the last year which seem to have
removed the crashes (I think there was some stack overflow). I believe
you've been in communication with some of my colleagues on this.
Unfortunately, in my latest test with v2, I see the following behaviour:
records with I/O Intr processing will suddenly stop processing. This is
*very* rare, on around thirty IOCs I saw this occur twice in a fortnight.
Curiously, if the .SCAN field is changed to Passive and back to I/O Intr
then processing resumes normally!
My IOCs are configured with Hytec 8516 RS-485 cards connected to CMS ION
radiation monitors which send long packets with many fields to decode. A
packet is automatically sent every second, and one record is configured
with SCAN="I/O Intr", and processes the remaining 14 fields contained in
the record. I'm using asyn version 4-10 (and a fair number of other
components on each IOC).
It's a difficult bug to track down, as it seems almost unreproducible, but
alas it occurs often enough that I can't run v2 on my IOCs. I know that
some of my colleagues also see intermittent I/O Intr related issues, but I
don't have details.
I wish I could be more helpful!
