Automake update cleanup and minor changes
Description:
Removed macros in acsite.m4 that are no longer used.
Switched to using autoconf's AC_LANG_PUSH(Fortran) instead of old
AC_LANG_FORTRAN9X macro.
Switched to using AC_LANG_PUSH() and AC_LANG_POP() (from old AC_LANG_X).
Added ifort to list of Fortran compilers configure will look for.
Added a note about automake change to Release Notes.
Platforms tested:
copper, modi4 (parallel and serial), eirene
Description: Support of hardware conversion between "long double" and integers(mainly in
H5Tconv.c) and test cases for it(mainly in dtypes.c)
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Description: H5Tget_member_value didn't return correct value if called after
H5Tenum_valueof. It's because there's a sorting on the members of enum type in
H5Tenum_valueof which changed the order of members.
Solution: Made a copy of original type and do sorting on it to protect the
original order.
Platforms tested: fuss; tested v1.6 with h5committest
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Description: For variable-length string, H5Tget_class returned H5T_STRING as
its class. But H5Tdetect_class and H5Tget_member_class considered it as
H5T_VLEN. This is fixed to let all these 3 functions treat it as H5T_STRING.
Some test cases have been added to dtypes.c
Platforms tested: heping - already tested for v1.6 with h5committest
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Description: The byte order for all 1-byte integer types was fixed as little-endian
even on a big-endian machine. This's corrected in h5detect.c. When types are only
1 byte long, a native int is used substitute the type to detect byte order. Some tools
like h5dump and h5repack are also corrected in this case.
Platforms tested: fuss, copper, sol.(There're some failures from the recent configure
change).
Misc. update: Information in the RELEASE.txt.
Description: Removed PABLO from the source
Solution:
Platforms tested: arabica with 64-bit, copper with parallel,
heping with GNU C and C++ and PGI fortran (but
I disabled hl, there is some weird problem only
on heping: F9XMODFLAG is not
propagated to the Makefile files
Misc. update:
Description: Start to support software conversion between long double and
all integers.
Solution: No major changes to the algorithm. Changes to configure is to
exclude SGI for long double to integers test because there're too many problems
in their compiler.
Platforms tested: h5committest, modi4, fuss, Teragrid, arabica
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Bug fix
Description:
Correct values used in "space utilization" equation: the 'used' and
'total' values were backwards.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
Fix core dump when flushing a file with a newly created attribute which
hasn't had a value written to it still open.
Solution:
Write the attribute fill value when appropriate.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSd 4.10 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4 (verbena)
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
Purpose: change feature
Description: Back up support bitfield and time datatypes in H5Tget_native_type.Leave it to future support. Let it return "not supported" error message for
now.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Bug fix
Description:
Relax restrictions on parallel I/O to allow compressed, chunked datasets
to be read in parallel (collective access will be degraded to independent
access, but will retrieve the information still).
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4)
h5committest
Description: enable size adjustment for compound datatype. The size
can be increased and decreased(as long as the last member isn't cut).
Solution: mainly check if the last member is being cut when decreasing
the size. Others are simply taking out assertion to enable this feature.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Bug fix.
Description:
Fix off-by-one error in Core VFL driver which would cause spurious address
or size overflow errors when an odd valued address or size was checked.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4 (heping)
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
Update release_docs/RELEASE.txt to describe options for dealing
with installations which insert extra text in output, thereby
breaking tests which function by comparing output with an exemplar.
Description:
See above.
Solution:
Add discussion of this possible problem, and listed two possible
solutions:
1) "setenv HDF5_Make_Ignore yes" and then score "failed" tests
by hand.
2) Use the RUNSERIAL environment variable to use a filter script
to filter out the extra text.
Platforms tested:
No testing needed.
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Correct typedef for dataset region references to avoid struct alignment
issues on Crays.
Solution:
Change the typedef for hdset_reg_ref_t from a struct to an array of
unsigned char's of the correct size and propagate the appropriate adjustments
around the code.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4 (verbena) w/fortran
Cray T90 (subzero) w/fortran
Cray SV1 (wind) w/fortran & parallel
Cray T3E (cyclone) w/fortran & parallel
Description: Restore 6 old error API functions back to the library to be backward
compatible with v1.6. They are H5Epush, H5Eprint, H5Ewalk, H5Eclear, H5Eset_auto,
H5Eget_auto. These functions do not have error stack as parameter.
Solution: Internally, these functions use default error stack.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Bug fix (sorta)
Description:
Change reading of "missing" chunks from datasets with undefined fill
values to not overwrite the application buffer with random garbage from
memory. Note that this is almost the same, since whatever garbage the
application had in those locations will still be there...
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir)
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4)
h5committested
Description: Added PGI Fortran support for Linux64 systems (x86_64)
Solution:
Platforms tested: AMD Opteron box at AMD Sunnyvale and verbena
with PGI and gcc compilers.
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Correct possible core dump when a datatype conversion function is
registered with the library after a compound datatype has been converted
(having it's type conversion information cached by the library). The compound
datatype must have been created by inserting the fields in non-increasing
offset order to see the bug.
Solution:
Re-sort the fields in the compound datatypes before recalculating the
cached information when performing the conversion on them.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir)
h5committested
Bug fix
Description:
Correct buffer overrun in "multi" VFL driver that was writing past the
end of the "driver name" buffer when encoding the driver info block for the
file's superblock.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
