Code review comment for ~dirk.zimoch/epics-base:FilterForInfoFields

I see the problem. What you are doing was not anticipated. You do not make a copy, the data is owned by the record all the time, so dbfl_has_copy correctly returns false. But then the code in dbAccess.c assumes that it has to ask the record for things like the actual number of elements etc, so it calls get_array_info for the dbAddr. For actual record fields this is precisely what we want. In your case I guess this is where things start to go wrong. Indeed you have set no_elements and field_type in the pfl. I am not sure how to fix this properly. Adding a dummy dtor means we lie to dbAccess, telling it we have made a copy in order to make it use the meta data in the pfl instead of trying to query the record about it. While this works I find it a bit obscure...
