Fix bug which would incorrectly encode the member offsets for compound
datatypes whose size was between 256 & 511 bytes, when the "use the latest
format" feature was enabled.
Tested on:
Mac OS X/32 10.5.2 (amazon) w/debug
FreeBSD/32 6.2 (duty) w/production
Minor bug fix to H5Aget_num_attrs() to return error when an invalid
location ID is passed in.
Tested on:
Mac OS X/32 (amazon)
Too minor to require h5committest
Description:
The Windows suite of examples for HL C was a very small subset of the examples that exist for other platforms. Now we have all of the HL C examples-- integrated into the VS projects files, and batch test scripts.
Description:
Basically, remove the "hack" that we documented because we have a better fix now. With the latest changes, configure will avoid the cygwin bug, and no neccessary steps need to be taken by the user.
Update.
What is done:
Moved the following three paragraphs to the Appendix part since they have old
information that are not relevant most recent machines or compilers.
"Large (>2GB) versus small (<2GB) file capability",
"Building and testing with Intel compilers"
"Building and testing with PGI compilers"
Tested:
eyeballed.
Updated section 4 for v1.8 release.
(May still check the v1.6 INSTALL to see if something can be adopted from
there. But this is good for v1.8 release.)
Tested:
Just eyeballed.
Updated for v1.8 release. (Not completed yet.)
Changes:
Moved the section 2. "Warnings about compilers" to Appendix A; renumbered
section 3-7 to section 2-6 and fixed all section references.
Updated Website names from ncsa.uiuc.edu to hdfgroup.org or hdfgroup.uiuc.edu.
Updated section 1-3 and some of section 4.
Tested:
Eyeball.
Description:
We've run into a bug that was introduced in the latest version of Cygwin, that breaks C99 code using the 'timezone' global variable. As a workaround, we use the -ansi flag, which makes everything compile/link/test correctly
Tested: Cygwin on WinXP
Description:
Wrote documentation on how to use the 1.6 API for a user application-- this replaces the outdated documentation we previously had.
Tested: VS2005 with HDFEOS5
Description:
There are many tests that are unsupported on MinGW because of the way it handles certain syntax in shell scripts (particularly '/'). As a result, we list a few tests that users must comment out in various Makefile.in's. This checkin updates the location of h5stat-- it was formerly in ./tools/misc, but has been moved it ./tools/h5stat.
Tested:
MinGW on WinXP
