bug fix
Description:
h5diff would incur a segmentation fault in Alpha clusters when
the percentage option is used. This was due to memory aliagment
issue when the options variable is declared as a local variable
in main().
Moved the declaration to a global declaration.
Platforms tested:
"h5committested"
And tested at cluster QT of SNL.
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Remove various "fixtype" routines which duplicate (and actually pre-date)
the functionality in H5Tget_native_type in favor of having the tools call
H5Tget_native_type(). This provides the same functionality (actually better
functionality, since the old "fixtype" routines didn't handle alignment of
compound fields correctly) and reduces the amount of code to maintain.
Add additional tests to dump out a "complex" compound datatype which
exercises more code in the library for aligning compound fields correctly.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir)
h5committest
bug fix
Description:
unsigned integers were not printed out correctly
Solution:
added %u and %lu to the list of formats
Platforms tested:
Windows 2000 (octopus)
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
h5diff support for long_long
Description:
added h5diff support for long_long;
No automatic test was added because
it seems that the printf format of long_long is slightly different in Linux and IRIX(modi4),
because the diff command complained about a difference in the 2 test files for long_long;
visually, it seems that in IRIX an extra space is added after the print (or maybe it is
just me that is seeing extra spaces :=)
this test is test 5.8, commented in testh5diff.sh
Platforms tested:
Windows 2000 (octopus)
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
the signed / unsigned comparison was not properly handled.
the fixtype function sets the sign for the memory type the same sign as found on disk
and the array_diff function only handled signed cases
Solution:
addded for each INTEGER size type an OR condition with the unsigned version
if the datatypes have different signs , comparison is NOT supported
Platforms tested:
Windows 2000 (octopus)
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
Purpose: bug fix for Tru64 and test of the latest szip library.
Description: h5diff uses basename function that also is defined
in the system string.h file. That caused compilation to
fail.
Solution: renamed basename to h5diff_basename
Platforms tested: verbena, arabica, arabica-64,
and PSC Compaq machine.
Misc. update:
fixed a typo on the usage message, redone the test files that deal with with

Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
changed algorythm
Description:
changed the array_diff function to increment the read buffer with a size selected
by an appropriate native data type.
previously it was assumed, e.g. int size = 4 bytes
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica, 64bit mode)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
datasets with different storage datatypes where not read to memory to same size types
Solution:
obtain the memory type and size, for the TWO datasets ,
with the "fixtype" function
"upgrade" the smaller size to the larger if they are different
added H5DIFF_DEBUG flag for print information
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica, 64bit mode)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
added new test files for h5diff
bug fix
Description:
the criteria for determining the correct switch case cast to void* to type* was the data size read from disk.
this was causing problems on Cray T3E, where all integer except char are 8 bytes long
Solution:
changed the criteria for using the memory size instead, which is determined by the same function
that reads the data into memory
the messages " using memory NATIVE_TYPE_X" were removed, because they might not coincid on different
platforms.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
h5diff update
Description:
removed the -l , list, option
this feature will be part of a different tool
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Windows 2000 (octopus)
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
new feature
Description:
during the sequencial match list, by default the differences between matched datasets were printed.
added an -m option that allows to turn this off, just printing the file differences
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
added more tests, described in the test matrix
Description:
test -r
test -l
expanded -d, -p and -n tests
test different types to include links and named types
test for non supported classes, e.g bitfield, opaque , etc
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:

utilities: some functions to more human readable output
more tests: described in the test matrix
Platforms tested:
Linux/rockaway(C)
SunOS/arabica (C)
SGI/modi4 (C)
added test script for h5diff
code cleaning for alpha release
makefile now generates the h5difftst.c program that generates 2 .h5 files for testing
Description:
the .sh script runs several runs of h5diff and compares the output
with a predifined output located in /tools/testfiles (.txt files)
righ now it has only one test
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux (other platforms later , ok !? )

the case for 8 byte integers was not handled
added more checking of wrong input data
Solution:
added the size 8 integer case

bug fix
Description:
some data not read correctly due to type_id used in read
Solution:
did a function that determines the optimal memory type
Platforms tested:

Description:
there was a incorrect reading of arguments when only 1 object name was supplied
reading of data was done using type_id got from disk, causing some values not read correctly into memory
Solution:
used native types to read into memory
Platforms tested:
w2000, linux, solaris57
h5diff enhancements
Description:
changed -r to count the number of differences, but do not print them

print the dimensions of dsets, in case they are different
test files added test for non supported data (class not integer or float)
fix print dimensions to 0 index
