Bug fix
Description:
Variable length strings and sequences with NULL pointers were not handled
by library, causing problems access the data. This also affected fill values
for variable-length datatypes.
Solution:
Address the issues in the library by detecting NULL sequences/strings
and avoid trying to convert them.
Patched up dumper to display NULL sequences/strings.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
h5committest
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.
