Description:
In an AIX 6.1 system, configure --enable-shared could not build a shared
HDF5 library. The problem was because the version of config.guess was too
old to recongnize AIX 6.X and also configure.in had a local fix which did
not recognize AIX 6.X.
Solution:
1. Mike McGreevy updated bin/config.guess to handle AIX 6.X.
2 Albert fixed configure.in to recognize AIX 6.X.
Note that though HDF5 can build shared lib for AIX 6.X systems
but it still could not install the proper library as in AIX 5.X
systems. Also, bin/config.sub should be updated too.
Tested: BP which is the AIX 6.1 system that exposed this problem.
has been removed. According to the official description of DESTDIR by Gnu at
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html, DESTDIR is
prepended to the normal and complete install path that it precedes for the
purpose of installing in a temporary directory which is useful for building
rpms and other packages. The '/' after ${DESTDIR} will be followed by another
'/' at the beginning of the normal install path. When DESTDIR is empty the
path then begins with '//', which is incorrect and causes problems at least for
Cygwin.
The change made in config/commence.am affects many Makefile.*s when bin/reconfigure
is run. EXAMPLEDIRs had to be corrected individually.
Also the scripts to run examples after they are installed have checks added to see
that the fortran and c++ directories are present before trying to run the scripts
in them.
Tested with h5committest on amani, heiwa and jam.

fseek64 was used to support large file access for the STDIO driver back in
version 1.2.2 in year 2000. Some how it was not included in version 1.4.0.
Now, fseeko64 is used to support large file. There is no more need for fseek64
which is not a standard call. Removed its presence from configure and related
files.
Tested: jam for configure only.
In some machine (Linux), when --disable-largefile is used, it claims it has
fseeko64 but off64_t is NOT supported. Moved the test of fseeko64 and ftello64
to where fseek64 is so that they are tested only if off64_t is supported.
Tested: h5committested.
Bring r19124 from trunk to 1.8 branch:
Add some error checking to the process of creating superblock extension.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 6.3 (duty) in debug mode
(h5committest performed on trunk)
Description:
A bug introduced in 1.8.5 causes local heap data blocks to be mis-aligned when
sizeof_offsets + 2*sizeof_lengths is not a multiple of 8. In this case, the
address of the data block as stored in the heap prefix is aligned but the actual
data block is not. This causes files created with these sizes to be corrupted,
and prevents uncorrupted files with these sizes to be unreadable. Modified
local heap code to account for alignment.
Tested: jam, amani, linew (h5committest)
Removed the recognition of parallel compilers of LAM (hcc) and ChMPIon (cmpicc)
since we have no access to these two MPI implementations and decided not to
support them any more.
Test: Jam using parallel tests:
1. use CC=mpicc and confirmed it is recognized as a parallel compiler;
2. use CC=hcc and confirmed it is NOT recognized as a parallel compiler
any more.
PHDF5 changed to use "mpiexec", instead of mpirun, as the default MPI
applications startup command as defined in the MPI-2 definition, section
4.1. Note that only mpich related (using mpicc command) definitions are
changed to mpiexec. Other favors like hcc, AIX, champion, are not changed
since I don't have a way to verify them yet.
Tested:
jam and amani, using both current and new mpich.
Did not h5committested since this affects PHDF5 configure only.
Fixed a bug (1822) in the H5DSdetach_scale function when 0 bytes
were allocated after the last reference to a dim. scale
was removed from the list of references in a VL element of the
DIMENSION_LIST attribute; modified the function to comply
with the Spec: DIMENSION_LIST attribute is deleted now when no
dimension scales left attached.
Platforms tested: jam with electric fence, amani amd linew

Improve configure's large-file support control.
Description:
Modified configure to now attempt to add defines necessary for
supporting largefiles on all systems, instead of solely on linux. This
is in response to user requests to enable largefile support on Solaris
by default, as well as to give extra control on AIX (instead of just
jamming the necessary flag into the config files).
The old --enable-linux-lfs flag is being deprecated in favor of the
--enable-largefile flag (enabled by default), which can be used on all
platforms. --disable-linux-lfs can still be used to disable largefile
support (on linux) when the --enable-largefile flag is not specified.
On systems where large files cannot be supported in this manner,
configure will report as such.
Tested:

the data conversion test from unsigned long long to long double. The GCC on Cygwin seems to
have rounding problem when doing conversion from unsigned long long to long double (Please bug
#1813).
Tested on jam. I'll test it on Cygwin after this checkin.
Description:
longjmp do not necessary restore signal that is blocked during the signal
handling. This caused the Alignment test to fail quietly, resulting in wrong
alignment information which will cause failures later.
Solution:
One can use sigsetjmp/siglongjmp to restore signal handling but not all systems
such as Cray XT or VMS supports sigsetjmp. Backup solution is to use
sigprocmask to reset the signal. Again, some systems may not support it either.
Added code to try the first and then the second solution. Also added tests
to verify if the signal_handler routines are working properly. Finally, added
code to print results of the verification (in form of comments) to H5Tinit.c
for inspection in case of failure.
(Note that many platforms do not have alignment limits at all and ALIGNMNET
code never raise the SIGBUS or SIGSEGV errors. In those cases, it does not
matter whether the signal handlers work or not. Again, this can be deduced
from the results comments near the end of the H5Tinit.c. If the sum of signal
handlers called equals the total of verify, it means ALIGNMENT does not raise
any signals.)
Tested: htcommittested (linew is not accessible), jam(serial), Redstorm.

Autotool Upgrade / Libtool Bug Fix
Description:
Updated autotools referenced in bin/reconfigure as follows:
Autoconf 2.64 --> Autoconf 2.65
Automake 1.11 --> Automake 1.11.1
Libtool 2.2.6a --> Libtool 2.2.6b-mcg
The referenced libtool version is a custom version of 2.2.6b. It
has been tweaked to fix a bug in libtool that occurs
when using PGI 10.0 compilers. A check incorrectly categorizes
the C++ compiler as version 1.0 instead of 10.0, and the link
line is subsequently set up incorrectly and fails to compile.
A patch has been made available and will be included in the next
release of libtool, but in the meantime I've applied the patch to a custom
installation as indicated above. This bin/reconfigure now references
the custom installation, and the resulting configure script will correctly
categorize the PGI 10.0 C++ compiler.
Ran bin/reconfigure to regenerate configure and makefiles.
Tested:
jam and amani with PGI 10.0 compilers.

recent changes to the embedded library generation code does not quite work
for the AIX system. The strings command of AIX does not display the embedded
library information be default.
Solution:
Changed the H5libhhdf5_setting[] to be an extern variable. Also removed the
const qualifier so that strings can see the variable data.
Tested:
Blue-print (with embedded-libinfo enabled and disabled).
