For now this is just a list of topics I think we need to talk about.
- Who is EPICS V4 being written for?
- Minimum requirements of the OS (should we support Tornado 2.x? No => no 68K)
- epicsTypes, Data Access types, network types, mapping these to platform types.
- How to introspect arrays without instanciating them?
- epicsString vs stringSegment, epicsArrayBuffer etc.
- New asynchronous record processing design
- Splits records up into smaller objects
- How to link these objects together?
- Replacement for periodic scan threads
- Split libOSI out of libCom?
- What to do about the errlog client & server code
- Flex & Antelope => updated Flex, Bison?
- We need these for: Access Security, probably for DB file parser, SNC
- Build system - carry on like we have been, or redesign? Options:
- Continue with R3.14 build system
- Use the modified build system on the CVS main trunk (R3.15)
- Adopt GNU autoconf & automake
- Parse configuration and Makefiles in Perl, generate specific Makefile
- Something else?
- Source code revision management - Subversion repository at APS
