bug fixes
Description:
the return error code for a function was not initialized.
in HP-UX it happened that this variable was initialized to -1
causing the function to return with an error condtion
solution : initialized the variable to 0
the name of the dataset was printed after the differences in verbose mode
and report when differences were found
solution : check first if differences were found and then
print the name of dataset and differences
in verbose mode always print the name first
Solution:
Platforms tested:

AIX
Misc. update:
h5diff and h5repack changes
Description:
h5diff
introduced the following four modes of output:
Normal mode: print the number of differences found and where they occured
Report mode: print the above plus the differences
Verbose mode: print the above plus a list of objects and warnings
Quiet mode: do not print output (h5diff always returns an exit code of 1 when differences are found)
h5repack
added an extra parameter for SZIP filter (coding method)
the new syntax is
-f SZIP=<pixels per block,coding>
(pixels per block is a even number in 2-32 and coding method is 'EC' or 'NN')
Example of use:
./h5repack -i file1 -o file2 -f SZIP=8,NN -v
updated usage messages, test scripts and files accordingly

Misc. update:
h5repack changes
Description:
there were some requests to change some minor h5repack features
h5repack only made a warning about a non available filter in verbose mode ( -v )
without -v it kept silent, and users sometimes missed this warning
the request was that it should print this warning always. so, the new format, is e.g
./h5repack -i test_szip.h5 -o out.h5
Warning: dataset </dset_szip> cannot be read, SZIP filter is not available
due to this, and to avoid a lot of these messages in the shell test script, I modified
the script h5repack.sh so that it detects the presence of all filters in the environment
(previously it only detected SZIP)
the test files were also divided in more files , to make the script code easier to
follow
Solution:
Platforms tested:

Add htri_t as separate type from hbool_t for code tracing purposes.
Platforms tested:

too minor to require h5committest
dumper new feautures
Description:
1) added options for not printing : datasets, groups, datatypes, links
2) added a section for the user block
3) in the traversal routine, added the printing of an arrow for soft links and the word HARDLINK for hardlinks
the print of the file contents is made during traversal , instead of at the end of it (this is helpful
for very large files, where the wait time can be very long)
4) changed the description of the fill value properties
5) added a colon after the printing of the array indices

same for the user defined filter
add an option (-y) for not printing the array indices (default is print indices )

add tests for the new options

This fixes bug mozilla_145
Description:
Output from h5dump is truncated on SGI
Solution:
Revise h5tools_str_append.
Changed the check for the return value from vsnprintf to handle
overflows correctly.
Added a special check for the case where HAVE_VSNPRINTF is not
defined. (Windows doesn't have this function.) Will abort() if
memory is overwritten. This overflow appears to be rare, but
if we get reports of hitting this abort() we can try a more
robust solution for platforms lacking vsnprintf.

bug fix
Description:
a prototype for a new function used by h5tools_str.c was accidently left in that file

and generates testh5dump.sh accordingly)

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.

Parts of formatting cleanup to greatly reduce the amount of trailing
whitespace emitted in output.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
h5committest
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.

h5committest
Bug Fix
Description:
The SUBDIRS macro is now defined as "" in the config/commence.in
file. We shouldn't have definitions of this macro before the
inclusion of config/commence.in.

Placed all definitions of SUBDIRS after config/commence.in inclusion.

Bug Fix (Bug #806)
Description:
When compiling/installing with the command "make install" (without
performing a "make" beforehand) the tools weren't being made. This
was because the `install' command in the Makefiles only relied upon
public libraries, not private ones (which the one in the tools
directory is).
Solution:
Had the `install' command be dependent upon an "AUX_LIB" macro which
includes libraries which are needed but aren't distributed (that is,
they're staticly compiled).
Platforms tested:
Linux
Migrate from configure macros of XYZ_ABC to H5_XYZ_ABC
Description:
configure generates many macros definitions on the fly and
were stored in src/H5config.h which is included by H5public.h.
But other software that uses hdf5 may also run their own configure.
There can be a clash in macro name space. We decided awhile ago
to prepend all generated macros with "H5_" to avoid conflicts.
The process has started and this commit completes it (at least attempt
to).
Solution:
Many macros symbols (e.g. SIZEOF_xxx and HAVE_xxx were changed to
H5_SIZEOF_xxx and H5_HAVE_xxx). Then H5private.h no longer includes
H5config.h. This cuts H5config.h away from HDF5 source code.
Pending issues:
The module of fortran and pablo are to be resolved in a different
commit.
Platforms tested:
eirene (parallel), arabica (solaris 7 --enable-fortran, --enable-cxx)
Bug Fix
Description:
There was a problem with having a lot of groups nested together. We
could only handle 1024 characters at most, but, in a parallel program
especially, it could occur that there were lots and lots of groups
and would be more than 1024.
Solution:
I made the "objname" part of the obj_t structure a pointer instead of
a fixed size. Added code to allocate/deallocate the memory we need
for it. Had to fix how the "prefix" was being handled in the h5dump
program. It was also set to only 1024 characters in length. I made it
dynamic.
Added a test case...Go me!
Platforms tested:
Linux, Solaris
Purpose:
Small Fix
Description:
Changed how the list of drivers were listed from:
{ "driver1",
"driver2",
/* ... */
"drivern",
#ifdef FOO
"driverm"
#endif
};
to
{ "driver1"
,"driver2"
/* ... */
,"drivern"
#ifdef FOO
,"driverm"
#endif
};
since it's a nicer way of doing the same thing without the annoying
warning of an extraneous , if FOO isn't defined.
Platforms tested:
Dangermouse, Modi4, Kelgia
Removing the DPSS (gridstorage) driver source code.
Description:
The DPSS (using Grid-Storage) driver is retired.
Removed the configure option with-gridstorage from configure.in.
Cvs remove the following files
./src/H5FDdpss.c
./src/H5FDdpss.h
./test/dpss_read.c
./test/dpss_write.c
Regenerated Dependencies files (some had to be hand-edited since
'make depend' did not cover them.)
Removed reference to DPSS Virtual file driver from H5F.c.
Platforms tested:
modi4 (Parallel; -with-gass=...), eirene, arabica (fortran, cxx).
