h5dump new features
Description:
added the code for print strings with new line and display the path of references (new source files h5tools_ref.c and .h )
added a test suite in testh5dump.sh.in for
( note : to create testh5dump.sh , one must redo ./configure; this detects the availability of filters
and generates testh5dump.sh accordingly)
1) storage layout
2) fill value
3) print reference with path
4) print strings with new lines
5) filters
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
AIX
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
Somehow in the function error_msg, a #ifdef WIN32 combine the stdout and stderr into a stdout for windows platforms. This will cause the confused output of dumper test on windows.
Erase this macro.
Solution:
See above.
Platforms tested:
windows XP with MSVS 6.0 by xuan.
No need to test on other platforms.

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:
fixing the format of dumper output for windows test
Description:
New dumptest includes the feature that an error of the output will be put into stderr in linux
On windows, that stderr will not be redirected into the output file and the comparsion between the expected file and the dumper output is not correct.
Solution:
change fprintf(stderr .....) at h5tool_util.c into fprintf(stdout ......) so that it fits the comparison.
Platforms tested:
windows 2000
New Modules
Description:
Separated the "generic" functions out of the h5tools module into
their own separate module to make things a bit nicer to deal with.
Platforms tested:
Linux
