Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Folks,

John Hammonds and I have been doing some improvements to asyn that involve using C++ template functions and C++ exceptions.  We have found a serious problem with the vxWorks cross-compilers running under Linux with vxWorks 5.4.2 (and presumably earlier versions as well).  The cross-compilers crash on valid C++ code.  This problem does not occur on vxWorks 5.5.2, nor on Linux, Windows, etc.

My question to the community: will it be a serious problem if the next release of asyn cannot be built on vxWorks 5.4.2 and earlier?  Are there sites that would plan to upgrade asyn but continue to use vxWorks 5.4.2 or earlier?

I just upgraded my system this afternoon from 5.4.2 to 5.5.2 and recompiled asyn, sequencer, and all of synApps with no problems.

Thanks,
Mark
