 26 Apr 2017, Stefan Ritt, Info, added db_get_value_string()

Just some thought for discussion:
Rather than "spicing up" the MIDAS library here and there with C++ objects such as std::string, wouldn't it make more sense to "cleanly" wrap an ODB value |

31 May 2017, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, modified db_watch() arguments

for reasons unknown, db_watch() did not have an "info" parameter passed through to the callback

Thanks for documenting this in detail. A few suggestions:
- is it really necessary to call odbedit three times? Maybe two or even three functions can be merged. Like you call odbinit, it checks if the environment |

11 Oct 2017, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, added support for ucLinux
|
Support for building for ucLinux was added to MIDAS. I use the emcraft toolchain and userland on

|
multithreaded access to odb was implemented back in 2013-2014. but recently a bug surfaced -
there was a race condition in the odb locking code against cm_watchdog(). Somehow this only
affected the mserver for the DRAGON experiment at TRIUMF. This is now fixed on the branch

21 Nov 2017, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, MIDAS support on el5?
|
It has been reported that the current midas release candidate does not build on el5 linux (SL/RHEL/CentOS-5).
According to Red Hat, el5 is end-of-life, last SL 5 (SL5.11) was done in 2014, so this linux is very old. Also as it happens, I do not have access to any |

The current ODB code has several structural problems and I think I now figured out how to straighten them out.
Here is the problems:

All makes sense to me. I agree to proceed with the refactoring.
One additional comment: In the 90's when I developed this code, locking was expensive. On a decent computer you could do a couple of thousand lock operations |
