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)
Bug fix/code cleanup
Description:
Was using old-style property list for dataset transfer.
Solution:
Switched to use generic property list code for dataset transfer proplist.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
New feature
Description:
Started this directory for performance measurement programs.
The programs here got compiled but not automatically run (just
like the examples direcotry.)
The programs have existed but now gathered to this one directory.
iopipe.c, chunk.c and overhead.c were from test. perf.c and mpi-perf.c
were from testpar.
Platforms tested:
eirene (serial and parallel).
overhead failed during run due to some property error. This is probably
due to the recent change of properties code.
perf and mpi-perf do not compile correctly for Parallel mode.
Checking them to make them available to others.
