including the merge of `hdffv/hdf5/develop`, back to the branch that Vailin and
I share.
Now I need to put this branch on a fork with a less confusing name than
vchoi_fork!
Check for smaller or larger section size after merging and shrinking a section,
for this case is the section that is smaller than threshold (see H5MF_xfree() in H5MF.c).
It is possible for the section to be smaller after merging/shrinking (see H5MF__sect_large_shrink()
in H5MFsection.c).
Given that the VFD SWMR configuration FAPL property is set, the writer field must
be consistent with the flags passed in the H5Fopen() (either H5F_ACC_RDWR for the
VFD SWMR writer, or H5F_ACC_RDONLY for the VFD SWMR readers).
Description:
All HDF5 user documentation has been moved to a separate hdf5doc/
repository, managed under Subversion.
With this 'cvs commit', all files are stripped from hdf5/doc/.
THIS CHANGE IS APPLIED ONLY TO THE HDF5 DEVELOPMENT BRANCH,
post Release 1.6.x; it is not applied to the release branches.
Feature: tests now use parallel make and only run once
Description:
When make is invoked in parallel (using the -j option), several tests will
now be run simultaneously. This should speed up testing on a number of
systems.
When a test passes, it creates a foo.chkexe or foo.chksh file, which prevents
the test from running again unless the test or library changes.
Solution:
Most of the changes live in config/conclude.am. Added *.chkexe and *.chksh
files to the list of files to be cleaned at "make mostlyclean" time.
Parallel tests still run one at a time, but use the same make instructions
as serial tests.
Platforms tested:
mir, eirene, sleipnir, pommier, copper, modi4 (some errors occurred, probably
due to the test being run before updating hdf5. Will re-run tests after
checkin.)
Purpose:
Added new meta data cache functions.
Added links to HDF5 High-Level API reference pages to nav bar.
Other minor (though somewhat pervasive) reformatting.
Platforms tested:
Firefox
Purpose:
Added new section for High-level HDF5 APIS.
Added links to HDF5 High-Level API reference pages to nav bar.
Added quick-links bar for
High-level APIs
Main HDF5 Library, including Low-level APIs
Fortran and C++ Interfaces
Added "Main HDF5 Library, including Low-level APIs" heading.
There had previously been no comparable heading.

Description: See details from Bug #213. Family member file size wasn't saved
anywhere in file. When family file is opened, the first member size determine
the member size.
Solution: Hopefully, this is the last step of checkin for this stage. This step
mainly enables h5repart tool to be able to convert file driver from family to
sec2. Because the library saves family information in file, in trying to convert
to sec2 driver, the library simply change the address of driver information to
undefined so that the driver information block can be ignored. This step also
updates the reference manual of H5Pset_fapl_family() and h5repart.
In the fifth step of checkin, backward compatibility with v1.6
is tested. A family file created was created with the v1.6 library and opened
with this version of the library.
In the fourth step of checkin, a test suit is added for h5repart,
including a program to generate the test files, a script file to run h5repart,
and a program to verify repartitioned files can be opened by the library.
There's a change from the first step of checkin. Family name template is no
longer saved in the superblock because different pathname can make the name
different.
In the third step of checkin, h5repart has been modified. If h5repart is used
to change the size of family member file, the new size(actual member size) is saved
in the superblock.
In the second step of checkin, multi driver is checked against the driver
name saved in superblock. Wrong driver will result in a failure with an error message
indicating
multi driver should be used. This change includes split driver because it's a special
case for multi
driver.
In the first step of checkin. Family member size and name template(unused at this stage) are saved
in file superblock. When file is reopened,the size passed in thrin superblock. A different size
will trigger a failure with an error message indicating the right size. Wrong driver to open family
file will cause a failure, too.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Misc. update: doc/html/RM_H5P.html and doc/html/Tools.html
Purpose:
Remove statement that gray-scale image attribute must
be in the range of 0-255.
Remove datatype definition for the attribute IMAGE_ASPECTRATIO.
Fixes Bugzilla entry 347.

Added check-s and check-p targets.
Description:
Added check-s and check-p targets to 1.7 branch to match changes to 1.6
branch. Now parallel and serial tests can be run separately.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4, copper
Added documentation
Description:
Added "Automake Use Cases" document to Tech Notes.
This is intended as a reference or an introductory document; more
in-depth documentation is in progress.
Platforms tested:
Change only to documentation. Documentation is viewable on Windows.
Added new H5Error APIs.
Description:
Added C entries for
H5Eregister_class H5Eunregister_class
H5Eget_class_name H5auto_is_stack
H5Ecreate_msg H5Eget_msg
H5Eclose_msg
H5Eget_num H5Epop
H5Eget_current_stack H5Eclose_stack
Still missing -- 6 APIs that match existing APIs except that they
include a 'stack' parameter. Those APIs will be added shortly.

Description: Removed support for SRB driver
Solution: Removed or modified appropriate files; ran reconfigure
to regenerate Makefile.in and configure files.
Platforms tested: heping and shanti
Misc. update: ran bin/chkmanifest on heping
Configuration feature
Description:
Different Fortran compilers mangle function names in different ways
(upper case, lower case, adding underscores). To link between
Fortran and C functions, we need to know what a given function's
name is under a given compiler.
Solution:
Use autoconf's FC_WRAPPERS check to determine the Fortran
naming scheme and define the FC_FUNC_ macro to name our
functions (in H5f90proto.h). Removed references to
our old FNAME macro, as well as flags that indicated whether
function names were upper or lower case.
Platforms tested:
mir, pommier, modi4, copper, more
Bug fix
Description:
On some machines, $RUNSERIAL variable needs to be used to run
tests. Set $RUNTESTS (which is used for non-parallel tests) to
be $RUNSERIAL in configure.am.
Also, since I was updating all Makefiles.in anyway, I updated
commence.am to point to autotools installs in AFS instead of
those on heping.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4, copper
Purpose:
"Bug fix"
Description:
Hardcoded Makefiles to use /bin/sh instead of letting configure
detect shell automatically. This is what v1.6 does, and avoids
problems on janus.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, copper, modi4, mir
Feature - conditional compilation
Description:
SRB file driver and tests are now compiled only when SRB is enabled
(using --with-srb during configure).
Solution:
Added an automake conditional in configure.in, altered Makefiles.am in
src and test directories to depend on that conditional.
This should make a nice example for posterity to add conditionally
compiled sources.
Platforms tested:
heping (only configure change)
Purpose:
Added C++ wrapper for Packet Table API.
Description:
Added macro for high-level C++ library (LIBH5CPP_HL), which changes every
Makefile.in.
Added directories for high-level C++ library (though currently only Packet
Table API is supported).
Added both C++ source and tests.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, mir, modi4
Misc. update:
Automake version upgrade
Description:
Upgraded automake version from 1.6.2 to 1.9.5.
Changed bin/reconfigure script to use automake 1.9.5.
Changed configure.in and Makefiles to use new FCFLAGS and FC variables
instead of FFLAGS and F9X.
Automake and configure should now do the lion's share of the work
supporting Fortran 9X; macros in acsite.m4 are now mostly unused (will
be cleaned later).
Altered how configure handles pmake; now root-level Makefile.in is
processed by bin/reconfigure to have a .MAKEFLAGS target, since
automake no longer allows us to define unused variables.
Configure now always checks for C++ compiler even if it is not
used, since automake thinks this is the Right Thing To Do and
will break otherwise.
Platforms tested:
Sol, copper, heping, mir, sleipnir, eirene, pommier, kelgia, modi4.
