Cleaning up warnings
Description:
Many exception constructors have warnings about reference to temporary
location because of the parameter initialization, for example,
"const string& var = 0."
Solution:
Changed "string&" parameters to pass by value for these constructors.
Consequently, passing string by value also takes care of char pointers
so the overloaded constructors for char pointers are then removed.
Also, instead of setting Exception::detailMessage to null string, I
set it to DEFAULT_MSG ("No detailed information provided") by default.
Platforms:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
IA-64 (titan)
Bug fix
Description:
Update threadsafe flags for FreeBSD and allow C++ to be built with
threadsafe enabled.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w/C++ & thread-safe
Description: I updated HISTORY.txt and RELEASE.txt files, and
ran bin/h5vers to change version number to 1.6.2-post0
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Misc. update:
Description: Changed version to be 1.6.2 and ran bin/release.
Since several files are changed, I am checking them in before
tagging the release
Solution:
Platforms tested: eirene
Misc. update:
Description: Changed version to 1.6.2-pre2 after creating a tar ball for testing.
Tar ball is on the FTP site, testing announcement will follow.
Solution: Used bin/h5vers on eirene
Platforms tested: N/A
Misc. update:
Description: Changed version number to 1.6.2-pre1 before creating
a tar ball for testing.
Solution: Used bin/h5vers script on eirene
Platforms tested: N/A
Misc. update:
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: Compilation of C++ APIs failed when ecc compiler was used.
Solution: Quincey and Raymond found out that one needs
-D__GNUC__ flag with ecc v7.1 to build on titan. I added
compilation flags from the config/ia64-linux-gnu file to the
c++/config/ia64-linux-gnu
Platforms tested: hal (Altix), titan
On titan C++ tests passed, but build failed in the
tools/misc directory with the misterious message:
.depend:28: *** multiple target patterns. Stop.
Misc. update:
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:
Code cleanup & reorganization
Description:
Move further in the testing framework cleanup, eliminating all the
global variables (moving them into testframe.c as static variables) from the
testing framework code and moving it into the libh5test.a.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w & w/o thread-safety, c++ & parallel
h5committested
Feature
Description:
Added option -showconfig which Shows the HDF5 library configuration summary
Platforms tested:
No h5committest test which does not test these tools.
Tested in eirene by hand.
Misc. update:
Description: Bump up the version number before giving a tar ball to the MAC HDF5
Fortran user.
Solution: run bin/h5vers on eirene
Platforms tested: N/A
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
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
If using g++ on HP-UX, the flags for aCC would be placed on the
command line. This was causing g++ to fail the configuration test.
Solution:
CHanged the test so that it's a case statement. If it's the aCC
compiler, then use those flags. Otherwise, don't specify flags. This
case statement can be modified to provide compiler-specific flags in
a similar way to other config/* files.
Platforms tested:
Hp-UX (Hp-UX specific change.)
Misc. update:
Fix example
Description:
On Solaris 64 (Sol), the output has garbage for a dataset when
fill value is not set.
Solution:
Added setting fill value to the dataset first.
Platforms:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
SunOS sol 5.8 (sol)
Minor bug fix
Description:
Added missing "const" to the first parameter in two functions:
DSetCreatPropList::set/getFillValue
Platforms:
Only effected C++ API
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)

Description: Changes version to 1.6.1-post0 and updated
RELEASE.txt and HISTORY.txt filese fro the new version.
Solution: N/A
Platforms tested: N/A
Misc. update:
Description: I run bin/release to create an hdf5-1.6.1 release tar
ball. Now I am checking in modified files before
tagging the release.
Solution: N/A

Misc. update:
Description: Bumped the version number to 1.6.1-pre2 after creating
a tar ball for the third round of testing
Platforms tested: bin/h5vers -s 1.6.1-pre2 on eirene
Misc. update:
Description: Bumped up the version number after creating a tar ball
for the second round of testing
Solution: N/A
Platforms tested: done with bin/h5vers on eirene
Misc. update:
Purpose: Maintenance
