I am starting a new thread about the two modules related to Channel
Access server: rsrv and cas.
As Ralph said below, rsrv is the old C Channel Access server. I
suppose cas is the new C++ Channel Access server. Here are my
questions:
1. Why do we need both rsrv and cas? What functionalities are provided
in each module?
2. When I use makeBaseApp to create an example IOC application, there
is one line "example_LIBS += $(EPICS_BASE_IOC_LIBS)" in the app's
src/Makefile and there is an output message "-lrecIoc -lsoftDevIoc
-lmiscIoc -lrsrvIoc -ldbtoolsIoc -lasIoc -ldbIoc -lregistryIoc
-ldbStaticIoc -lca -lCom" during the app building. I see "rsrvIoc"
and "ca" are included in the IOC. I suppose the "ca" is the Channel
Access Client library because an IOC could be Channel Access Server as
well as Channel Access Client. But I don't see something like 'cas' in
the linked EPICS base libraries. Where is 'cas' included, dbIoc or
dbStaticIoc or some else?
Thanks,
Jack
