Bug Fix
Description:
When writing (or reading) the entire dataset to a chunked dataset, there
was a boundary case where the code to generate the description of the
piece of the dataset to read into the buffer for data conversion would
attempt to read off the boundary of the dataset. This was occuring because
the code to detect the edge of the dataset was not propagating the change
up through the remaining dimensions when an edge in a fast changing
dimension was detected.
Solution:
Propagate edge detection up through slower changing dimensions properly.

Fix on Kludge
Description:
Forgot another chunk of parallel I/O code that needed to change for the
generic property list kludge... :-/
Platforms tested:
Parallel Linux 2.2.18smp (eirene)
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
Some platforms don't handle echo -n correctly.
Solution:
Copied some code from the configure which determines which flag to
give echo.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Kludge
Description:
Since we're only about halfway through converting the internal use of
property lists from the "old way" to the generic property lists, we turned
off snapshots to avoid exposing lots of API changes to users, until the
APIs settled down.
Getting the snapshots rolling again seems to have become a priority, so
some changes are going to have to be made now that were going to be
postponed until we were completely finished with the conversion. This
requires that the old API functions be able to deal with both the old
and new property lists smoothly.
Solution:
Kludge together the property list code so that they can transparently handle
dealing with both the old and new property lists
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
New feature.
Description:
Added a test to verify the correctness of information provided by
configure in H5config.h. Some information, such as SIZEOF some
types can be hardcoded by config/<machine>. This test verified
the information is indeed correct.
Currenly, only size of C language types are verified.
Platforms tested:
Eirene, regular, arabica.
Code cleanup for better compatibility with C++ compilers
Description:
C++ compilers are choking on our C code, for various reasons:
we used our UNUSED macro incorrectly when referring to pointer types
we used various C++ keywords as variables, etc.
we incremented enum's with the ++ operator.
Solution:
Changed variables, etc.to avoid C++ keywords (new, class, typename, typeid,
template)
Fixed usage of UNUSED macro from this:
char UNUSED *c
to this:
char * UNUSED c
Switched the enums from x++ to x=x+1
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Purpose:
Refix
Description:
Changed
if test -d $1; then
:
else
to
if test ! -d $1; then
since "test ! -d" should work on all platforms and is a much cleaner
solution than the original.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Feature add
Description:
Changed the "make install" thingy to "make install-all" in the
quick-setup guide. Also, changed the version number of HDF5 in the
examples from 1.4.0 and 1.2.0 to 1.5.x
Purpose:
Feature Add
Description:
Added "install-example" and "install-all" to the Makefile system.
The behaviour of the "make install*" options:
make install - Installs binaries, libraries, include
files, and example programs.
make install-examples - Installs only the example programs.
The directories are:
${prefix}/doc/hdf5/examples/{c,c++,fortran}
make install-all - Install the binaries, libraries, include
files, example programs, and
documentation. The whole kit-n'-caboodle.
make uninstall-examples - Get rid of those example files (but not
the ${prefix}/doc/hdf5/examples/...
directories)
There's a new bin/ program which helps create directories which are
deeply nested called "mkdirs". It's a simple shell script.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
fix a bug
Description:
In precondition 3, winzip will unzip hdf5xxx.zip into the directory
hdf5xxx and users should rename hdf5xxx into hdf5 to correctly build
HDF5 library.
Solution:
correct the sentence in precondition 3.
Platforms tested:
windows 2000
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
The error codes checked for were hardcoded into the program.
Solution:
Used the "enum" names instead.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
1. rearrange project settings to be consistent with UNIX platforms
2. fix bugs on H5Tinit.c and h5pubconf.h windows version.
Description:
1. overhead, iopipe and chunk testings are moved to perform directory on UNIX platforms
rearrange windows project settings to reflect the changes
2. H5_HAVE_SYS_TIMEB_H is defined in h5pubconf.h, it is only used in the iopipe test.
In iopipe.c, H5_HAVE_SYS_TIMEB is used to get the current time before opening HDF5 file.
This constant is never defined at h5pubconf.h. So iopipe test failed on windows.
3. intn is still used in windows version H5Tinit.c.
4. redefine H5_inline at h5pubconf.h. That will generate warnings like:
..\..\src\H5private.h(150) : warning C4005: 'H5_inline' : macro redefinition ..\..\src\h5pubconf.h(8) : see previous definition of 'H5_inline'
Solution:
1. Rearrange chunk.c,iopipe.c and overhead.c files in project setting.
2. In order not to affect other platform(linux also defines H5_HAVE_SYS_TIMEB_H).
in windows version h5pubconf.h change H5_HAVE_SYS_TIMEB_H into H5_HAVE_SYS_TIMEB.
Now H5_HAVE_SYS_TIMEB is only used by windows platform, iopipe test runs okay.
3. change intn into int.
4. undefine H5_inline on windows version of h5pubconf.h
Platforms tested:
windows 2000(NT5.0) and windows 98.
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
Some so-called "operating systems" (*cough*Windows*cough*) can't
handle large string sizes.
Solution:
Replace the Usage string with individual strings which all call
fprintf() themselves.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Feature
Description:
Added an example program showing how to use different virtual
file drivers. First example is to show the Split File driver.
Platforms tested:
eirene.
Purpose:
New Feature
Description:
Added final output for the configure script which shows a summary of
options people chose while configuring.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Feature
Description:
The H5Pset_fapl_split() used to assume both meta and raw files
have the same prefix name. This prohibited the option to specify
the two files reside on different file systems. E.g., having
meta-file as /user/home/data1.meta and raw-file as /pfs/data1.raw.
Solution:
Added feature that if the raw or meta extension string contains
a "%s", it will be substituted by the filename given for H5Fopen
or H5Fcreate. This is same as the multi-file syntax. If no %s
is found, one is inserted at the beginning. This is the previous
behavior.
Platforms tested:
Modi4 (parallel, serial) and eirene (parallel).
Bug fix
Description:
Added the condition that Parallel programs are dependent on
the hdf5 library too.
Platforms tested:
eirene (parallel), modi4(serial and parallel).
Adding Feature
Description:
Added new H5Pcopy_prop function to copy a property (value) from one property
list or class to another.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
New feature.
Description:
Test programs were assumed to be serial programs only.
There was no provision to test parallel programs automatically.
Solution:
Added $(TEST_PARA_PROGS) to hold parallel test programs and
added appropriate action entry to test them if defined.
Platforms tested:
Eirene (parallel).
Bug fix.
Description:
The default file name used is /foo/test.out that usually
is not legal. Changed it to /tmp/test.out.
Platforms tested:
eirene (parallel).
Bug fix.
Description:
Did not update the expected strings for result of grand total test
time. Causing a false report of test failed to complete.
Solution:
Update the strings.
Platforms tested:
Eirene and modi4.
Bug fix
Description:
The previous coding using sed was not portable for all Unix
systems. Much easier to use 'cut' to parse the strings.
Platforms tested:
eirene
Thread-safety Bug Fixes
Description:
FreeBSD must use a different layout or mechanism for allocating objects on
the stack when compiling for thread-safe operation. Unused bits in 'long
double' variable are never used ('long double's on FreeBSD are stored in
12 bytes, but only use 10 bytes for computations), but set to different
values, causing the endianness permutation testing to generate incorrect
results and eventually fail an assertion.
Solution:
Clear the temporary variables used for determining the endianness permutation
with memset (affecting all 12 bytes) instead of just assigning a 0.0 to them
(affecting only 10 bytes)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Portability Bug Fixes
Description:
FreeBSD wants the -pthread flag on both the compile and link lines. Also,
the cipher library is required for certain threading features and needs to
be linked in.
Solution:
Add the -pthread to the compile line and the cipher library to the list of
libraries.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
The table of error messages was updated in H5E.c. The change wasn't
reflected in this test because, sadly, we use hardcoded numerical
values for the "error" we want to check for and not the symbols.
Solution:
Bumped up the error number from 32 to 34 to coincide with the error
we expect.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug fix
Description:
when a snaptest did not complete, it reported it as a failure
of the launching host, rather than the testing host.
Changed it to report the testing host.
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
On some SGI machines (or, rather, it was showing up there), the
/usr/ncsa/lib directory was being placed before the other directories
in the linker line. This was causing the linker to link in
alternative HDF5 libraries than the test library.
Solution:
Modified my previous hack so that it puts the $rpath macro at the
end, since those are the ones we're passing into the libtool function
(in the DYNAMIC_DIRS macro).
