Purpose: Maintenance
Description: I added new configuration file ia64-linux-gnu to the
c++/config directory and made ecc a default C++ compiler
for ia64-linux-gnu systems
Solution: N/A
Platforms tested: Altix (SGI Linux64 IA64 machine) - all tests passed
titan - configuration passed; it is still building
Misc. update:
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: Added Fortran support for MAC OS X
Solution: This port was tested only for IBM XL Fortran compiler
version 8.1 Beta.
Few things to remember:
1. do not use AFS to build Fortran; compiler
for some reason cannot find *.mod files that
were successfully compiled.
2. Fortran Library can be built only with --disable-shared
--enable-static flags.
Platforms tested: pommier, h5committested (it is amasing, but iot works
really nicely! Albert, Thank you!)
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Refactor library testing framework (used for the testhdf5 & ttsafe tests)
to remove almost all of the duplicated code, moving the common code into a
new 'testframe.c' source file.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w & w/o thread-safety
h5committest
Add metadata benchmark to the 1.6 branch
Description:
Port the metadata benchmark to the 1.6 branch, for LANL's use (mostly).
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w/parallel
not tested with h5comittest, so it wasn't run
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: I added dec-odf5.x file to the c++/config directory.
By default DEC cxx compiler is used to build HDF5 C++ Library.
Platforms tested: True64 (PSC)
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Adding the HTMLdoc and RM frontmatter files
./doc/html/PDF_RM_body.book
./doc/html/PDF_RM_front.book
./doc/html/RM_Title.html
./doc/html/RM_TOC.html
All are labelled _DO_NOT_DISTRIBUTE_.
1. Address Bug 888
2. Update h5dump xml to 1.6
Description:
This is an omnibus update to the h5dump tool.
1. Bug 888: Added '-A', suppress data in dataset, but give values of attr.
2. Many changes to update the XML output. See:
http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/RFC/XMLSchema/
3. The XML dumper tests have been split off. The standard 'make check'
no longer runs the XML tests.
'make check-xml' runs the XML tests manually. (Some tests
may fail on some platforms, e.g., on 64bit.)
'make check-all' runs regular and then xml tests.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
verbena, arabica, copper (64bit)
Misc. update:
MANIFEST updated.
Bug fix
Description:
When a non-default indexed storage B-tree internal 'K' value is set by the
user, the chunked datasets created in that file (until it is closed) use the
user's 'K' value and the data can be accessed correctly, but the 'K' value is
not stored in the file.
However, once the file is closed and re-opened, the non-default 'K' value
is lost and the data in the chunked datasets will not be able to be accessed
correctly.
Solution:
Store the indexed storage B-tree internal 'K' value in the superblock.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: I added three new configuration files in c++/config
directory for Cray SV1, T3E and T90IEEE
Solution: Modified MANIFEST to add new files.
Platforms tested:
Misc. update:
Purpose: Maintenance for 1.6 release
Description: I added INSTALL_Windows_withf90.txt file that was lost
in 1.5 branch.
Solution: Modified MANIFEST to include new file.
Platforms tested:
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Limit the scope on more function prototypes/macros/typedefs.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir)
h5committest not necessary.
New test
Description:
Added test to check for dangling objects being handled correctly by the
library.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir)
h5committested
New feature/enhancement
Description:
Chunked datasets are handled poorly in several circumstances involving
certain selections and chunks that are too large for the chunk cache and/or
chunks with filters, causing the chunk to be read from disk multiple times.
Solution:
Rearrange raw data I/O infrastructure to handle chunked datasets in a much
more friendly way by creating a selection in memory and on disk for each chunk
in a chunked dataset and performing all of the I/O on that chunk at one time.
There are still some scalability (the current code attempts to
create a selection for all the chunks in the dataset, instead of just the
chunks that are accessed, requiring portions of the istore.c and fillval.c
tests to be commented out) and performance issues, but checking this in will
allow the changes to be tested by a much wider audience while I address the
remaining issues.
Platforms tested:
h5committested, FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) serial & parallel, Linux 2.4 (eirene)
Purpose: Maintenance for T3E
Description: Cray updated T3E to run unicosmk2.0.6.X
Configuration failed.
Solution: Created new unicosmk2.0.6.X files in the config and fortran/config
directories and added them to MANIFEST
Platforms tested: Cray T3E
Misc. update:
Feature Add
Description:
It's now possible to print out characters as actual characters
instead of their decimal equivalent numbers. It's the same thing that
h5ls does. The flag to do this is "--string" or "-r".
Platforms tested:
Verbena (Fortran & C++)
Arabica (Fortran)
Modi4 (Fortran & Parallel)
Misc. update:
Purpose: Catching up with 1.4 branch
Description: 1.5 didn't have unicos10.0.X configuration files
for both C and fortran.
Solution: Added the files and updated MANIFEST
Platforms tested: bin.chmanifest on arabica
Misc. update:
Addition
Description:
Added "h5fc" utility. This is the same as the "h5cc" utility but for
Fortran. It only handles static libraries since that's the only
library we build for Fortran.
Note! I've tested the code on the normal platforms but I haven't
tested the utility itself.
Platforms tested:
Arabica (Fortran)
Modi4 (Fortran & Parallel)
Burrwhite (Fortran & C++
Misc. update:
Purpose: New tool
Description: Pankaj created h5import tool long time ago. I am finally checking
the source code in for the 1.6 release.
Known problems: h5import test will crash if srcdir option
is used; will be fixed before the release.
Solution:
Platforms tested: vebena, arabica, modi4 were tested. h5import tests passed
I also tested on arabica with srcdir option to make sure that
there is a problem when srcdir is used. After that I disabled
h5import tests. Daily tests will build h5import, but will not run
h5import tests.
