Code cleanup (sorta)
Description:
When the first versions of the HDF5 library were designed, I remembered
vividly the difficulties of porting code from a 32-bit platform to a 16-bit
platform and asked that people use intn & uintn instead of int & unsigned
int, respectively. However, in hindsight, this was overkill and
unnecessary since we weren't going to be porting the HDF5 library to
16-bit architectures.
Currently, the extra uintn & intn typedefs are causing problems for users
who'd like to include both the HDF5 and HDF4 header files in one source
module (like Kent's h4toh5 library).
Solution:
Changed the uintn & intn's to unsigned and int's respectively.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Bug Fix, Code Cleanup, Code Optimization, etc.
Description:
Fold in the hyperslab speedups, clean up compile warnings and change a
few things from using 'unsigned' or 'hsize_t' to use 'size_t' instead.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.3 (hawkwind), Solaris 2.7 (arabica), Irix64 6.5 (modi4)
Update
Description:
Changed
#include <hdf_file.h>
construct to
#include "hdf_file.h"
so that the GNU compiler can more easily pick up the dependencies
which it places in the .depend and Dependencies files. Also
regenerated the Dependencies to go along with this.
Platforms tested:
Linux

* H5FD_srb_query: The `flags' argument is advertised to be output only. Therefore I
added code to zero its value before the feature bits
are assigned.
Bug fix
Description:
When the v1.2 compatibility code was turned on, internal functions in the
library were getting confused.
Solution:
Separated guts of H5Pget_driver call into an API function (the definition
of which depends on the compatibility switch) and an internal function
which always behaves like the v1.3/4 function. Replaced API function calls
in the library code with the internal function.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.2 (hawkwind)
Purpose:
Fix typos in these files.
Description:
In the functions H5Pset_apl_xxx in these files, the parameters of
FUNC_ENTER do not match the function names. So changed them back
to function names.
Solution:
[details about the changes, algorithm, etc...]
[Please as detail as you can since your own explanation is
better than others guessing it from the code.]
Platforms tested:
No test has been done because these are all typos, no effect on
program.
Feature symmetry
Description:
A while ago I needed to get the 'type' of data being accessed during writes
to the VFL driver, so I put in code to get the information down there.
Albert asked for the same information during reads, so I've added that in.
Tested:
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
Maintainance & performance enhancements
Description:
Re-arranged header files to protect private symbols better.
Changed optimized regular hyperslab I/O to compute the offsets more
efficiently from previous method of using matrix operations.
Added sequential I/O operations at a more abstract level (at the same level
as H5F_arr_read/write), to support the optimized hyperslab I/O.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.6 (baldric) & FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
Implemented new feature
Description:
Added data sieve buffering code to raw I/O data path. This is enabled for
all the VFL drivers except the mpio & core drivers. Also added two new
API functions to control the sieve buffer size: H5Pset_sieve_buf_size() and
H5Pget_sieve_buf_size().
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.6 (i.e. baldric)
