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)
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
Bug fix (sort of)
Description:
The RCSID string in H5public.h was causing the C++ code problem as it
was included multiple times and C++ did not like multiple definitions
of the same static variable.
Solution:
Since we don't really make use of the RCSID strings as we have not
installed it in all source files, we decided to remove it.
Platforms tested:
eirene (linux), modi4 (IRIX64-64) both serial and parallel modes.
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)
----------------------
This extensive change is the virtual file layer implementation. I've
ported and tested the sec2, family, and core drivers and only ported
the mpio driver (Albert will test it). So if you need MPIO I would
recommend sticking with the previous version for a while.
You will get a few compile warnings about split and stdio drivers not
being implemented and possibly tracing information not inserted in
some of the drivers. You can safely ignore them but I plan to fix
them.
I'm still working on the split driver because I just realized that it
needs a part of the VFL that isn't written yet.
Documentation is being updated also because there were some minor
changes (mostly just name changes). It should be available on my web
site later this week.

Modified to work with the virtual file layer by calling H5FD_*
functions instead of H5F_low_* functions and by passing file
access and data transfer properties by object ID instead of
pointer.
Changed H5D_transfer_t to H5FD_mpio_xfer_t since the
COLLECTIVE vs. INDEPENDENT transfer mode is specific to the
MPIO file driver.
Moved MPIO-specific stuff into the MPIO driver.
./src/H5B.c

The H5F_mpio_* private functions were renamed and placed in
the H5FDmpio driver except those which appeared in H5Smpio.c.
./src/H5E.c
./src/H5Epublic.h
Added major error number H5E_VFL for virtual file layer
related errors.
./src/H5F.c
./src/H5Fprivate.h
Changed the logic that controls whether the boot block is
written. Instead of assuming that the first call to write the
boot block is only to allocate space, I've added a function
argument which makes this explicit.
Changed the way files are compared so that a driver-defined
comparison function can be called. Files which belong to
different drivers are always considered different.
Removed H5F_driver_t since file drivers are now identified by
object ID instead of a special non-user-extendible datatype.
Removed all the hard-coded low-level file properties which
have been replaced by the various file drivers.
./src/H5I.c
./src/H5Iprivate.h
Added the H5I_inc_ref() which was removed a few months ago
since we finally have a use for it.
./src/H5Ipublic.h
Added the H5I_VFL object ID type to identify file drivers in
the virtual file layer.
./src/H5MF.c
./src/H5MFprivate.h
Moved all the allocation/deallocation code into the virtual
file layer which allows file drivers to override much of it.
./src/H5P.c
./src/H5Ppublic.h
Moved file driver-specific code into the various file driver
files.
The H5Pcopy() and H5Pclose() functions make calls into the
virtual file driver to manage the memory for driver-specific
file access and data transfer properties.
./src/H5private.h
./src/H5public.h
The `haddr_t' type is now public.

applied.
./src/H5T.c
Relaxed the H5Tpack() a little so it would pack compound data
structures that had non-transient atomic members.
./tools/h5ls.c
Added a `-g' (or `--group') flag that causes information to be
printed about the specified group instead of the group's
contents. (sort of like Unix's `ls -d'). The `-g' can be used
in combination with `-r' to print information about the group
and its contents.

Most of these changes are because the `interface_initialize_g'
variable change from hbool_t to int. It's a one line change.
Changed the way the library is closed so we have more control
over the order the interfaces are shut down. Instead of
registering an atexit() function for every interface in some
haphazard order we just register one: H5_term_library() which
then calls the H5*_term_interface() functions in a
well-defined order.
If the library is closed and then reopened repeatedly by
calling H5close() and H5open() in a loop we only add one copy
of the library termination functions with atexit().
Termination is a two-step process in order to help detect
programming errors that would cause an infinite loop caused by
the termination of one interface waking up some other
previously terminated interface. The first step terminates
the interface and *marks it as unusable*. After all
interfaces are terminated then we mark them all as usable
again. The FUNC_ENTER() macro has been modified to return
failure or to dump core (depending on whether NDEBUG is
defined) if we try to call an interface while it's shutting
down.
./src/H5.c
The H5dont_atexit() function returns failure if it's called
more than once or if it's called too late. However, the error
stack is not automatically printed on failure because the
library might not be initialized yet

Changed the extra cast for Win32 so we do floating point

associativity of casting and the C coercion rules. Removed
extra carriage returns inserted by broken operating system.
./src/H5Ffamily.c
Fixed an bug where H5F_fam_write() lowered the EOF marker for
one of the family members causing H5F_fam_read() to read
zeros.

Support library for test files. This isn't done yet but
Katie's contractions are ~10 minutes apart so I figured I
better back this stuff up just in case I'm not here next
week...
Eventually all test files will understand HDF5_DRIVER to name
the low level file driver and parameters so we can easily test
various drivers. They will also understand HDF5_PREFIX to
prepend to the beginning of file names which is necessary for
testing ROMIO with various drivers. Also, the cleanup function
will know how to use the file name prefix and will understand
different file driver naming schemes like file families. I'm
not sure they'll understand the `gsf:' type prefixes yet.
Note, the external test is completely commented out because
I'm in the middle of modifying it. It will still compile and
run but it doesn't test anything at the moment.

reinitializes global variables properly.
./src/H5private.h
./src/H5Oefl.c
./src/H5S.c
Changed MAX_SIZET, MAX_SSIZET, MAX_HSIZET, and MAX_HSSIZET to

Added 36 more integer hardware conversion functions to the
type conversion table for conversions to/from `long long' and
`unsigned long long'. The `long long' names will be changed
shortly to make them portable to Win32.
Changed H5T_init() to H5T_native_open() and added an
H5T_native_close() to open and close the predefined native
data types.
Increased the initial size of the type conversion table from
64 to 128 entries.
Reordered the 90 new integer conversion functions so the names
that are printed favor `int' over `short' or `long' when two
of them are the same.
./test/dtypes.c
Added hardware and software integer conversion tests for the
56 functions I added recently but not the additional 36
checked in this time. That will come next.
Call H5close() after each test so type conversion statistics
are easier to follow. Try this: $ HDF5_DEBUG=t ./dtypes
Added more debugging output for when things go wrong.
./src/H5private.h
Removed trailing carriage-returns inserted by broken operating
system ;-)

We try to detect whether floating point overflow generates a
SIGFPE and if it does we don't test overflow cases.
./test/H5Sprivate.h

gives up if the version numbers don't match, but in the future
the library could handle multiple versions of a message.

Added padding fields in symbol table entries, attribute
messages, shared messages, and global heap objects to insure
that things are aligned on 8-byte boundaries in the file, and
thus in memory. Otherwise some little endian machines
complain (DEC Alpha) during encoding/decoding of file meta
data. I chose to add alignment to the file rather than
rewriting the ENCODE/DECODE macros for the little endian case.
Completely rewrote the section on attribute messages.
More alignment stuff will follow.
./src/H5detect.c
Fixed a typo `nd'->`dn'
./test/dtypes.c
Commented out conversion tests to/from `long double' on
machines where it's the same size as `double' to get rid of
compiler warnings.
./doc/html/Big.html

Changed memory allocation functions so they fail instead of
dumping core. The `x' was removed from the name to remind us
of that: H5MM_xmalloc() -> H5MM_malloc(), etc.
H5MM_calloc() takes one argument like H5MM_malloc() instead of
two like calloc() because we almost always called it with `1'
for one of the arguments anyway. The only difference between
the two functions is that H5MM_calloc() returns memory which
is initialized to zero.
./src/H5Gent.c
./src/H5Gprivate.h
Removed H5G_ent_calloc() since it wasn't used.
./src/H5Fistore.c
Fixed a bug found by Albert. Thanks, Albert! This fix
combined with the changes to memory allocation prevent the
library from failing an assertion if the application uses an
unreasonable size for chunks (like Alberts 10000x10000x4).
./src/H5MF.c
./src/H5MFprivate.h
Changed H5MF_free() to H5MF_xfree() since calling it with an
undefined address is allowed.
----------------------
./html/tracing.html NEW
This entire update is to make it possible for the library to
print the name, arguments, and return value of every API call
without requiring any extra work from developers or app
programmers. This file describes how this all works.
./configure.in
Added the `--enable-tracing' switch. If you use it then the
library will include code to print API function names,
argument names and values, and function return values.
However, you must then turn on the tracing by setting the
HDF5_TRACE environment variable to a file descriptor number.
The default is `--disable-tracing' since enabling it causes a
slight increase in library size and a slowdown resulting from
an extra function call for each API function call (I couldn't
even measure the slowdown :-)
./bin/trace NEW
A perl script that synchronizes the H5TRACE() macro calls in
the *.c files with the function return type and formal
argument names and types. If you use GNU make and gcc then
this will be done automatically, otherwise just invoke this
script with the names of one or more .c files. You could do
it by hand to, but encoding argument types is a little tricky
at first.
./config/commence.in
Added the $(TRACE) macro, which defaults to the no-op.
Added -D_POSIX_SOURCE to the compiler command line.
./src/Makefile.in
Override the default for $(TRACE).
./config/depend.in
Automatically calls $(TRACE) to synchronize the H5TRACE()
macros in any source file that changed. As with makefile
dependencies, one way to force synchronization of all files is
to remove the `.depend' file.
./MANIFEST
Added new files.
./src/H5Eprivate.h
Modified HRETURN_ERROR() and HRETURN() for tracing.

./src/H5Z.c
Added H5TRACE() calls to all API functions. You don't really
need these changes if you don't want to merge your stuff
because they can be generated automatically by going to the
hdf5/src directory and saying ../bin/trace *.c
./src/H5T.c
Added H5TRACE() calls. Other stuff below.
./src/H5E.c
./src/H5Epublic.h
Added H5TRACE() calls. Created a type H5E_auto_t for the
`func' argument of H5Eset_auto() and H5Eget_auto() to make
those arguments easier to parse for tracing. It should also
make it clearer for users that don't know how to read
complicated ANSI data types.
./src/H5F.c
Added H5TRACE() calls. Changed a couple `uintn' argument
types in API functions to `unsigned int' since `uintn' part of
the API. Changed a few "can't" and "cant" error messages to
"unable to".
./src/H5Ipublic.h
Removed H5_DIRECTORY from the H5I_group_t enum. It wasn't
used anywhere.
./src/H5Tconv.c
Removed an unused label.
./src/H5Fistore.c
./src/H5Oattr.c
./src/H5Odtype.c
./src/H5T.c
./test/dsets.c
./test/dtypes.c
Fixed a warning about a variable possibly used before it's
initialized. Added __unused__ to turn off some unused
argument warnings that pop up when debugging is turned off and
optimizations are turned on.
----------------------
./src/H5A.c
Named data types can have attributes.
Fixed bugs where the API functions didn't check the return
values of their internal counterparts and thus the automatic
error reporting didn't work.
Fixed some places where the error stack wasn't cleared after a
function returned failure.
Data types returned by H5Aget_type() are always read-only.
If the `attr_num' argument of H5Aiterate() is null then it
acts like H5Giterate() instead of failing -- it begins
processing attributes with the first one.
./src/H5D.c
We check for allocation overruns when scalar datasets are
stored in external files.
./src/H5O.c
H5O_modify() will fail if the message is >=16kB.
./src/H5Oattr.c
Split some long lines
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tprivate.h
Added H5T_entof() to support attributes on named types.
./src/h5ls.c
Prints the names of attributes and their sizes.
./test/cmpd_dset.c
./test/dsets.c
./test/dtypes.c
./test/extend.c
./test/external.c
./test/gheap.c
./test/istore.c
./test/links.c
./test/shtype.c
If the environment variable HDF5_NOCLEANUP is defined then the
temporary files are not removed. The testhdf5 program still
has the bug that it removes *.h5, clobbering test files from
other programs... oh well.
./test/dtypes.c
Added attribute tests.
./src/H5D.c
./src/H5Tconv.c
./src/H5detect.c
Updated to work with new internal H5T functions. Fixed some
data type memory leaks during error recovery.
./src/H5Dprivate.h
Added H5D_typeof() similar to H5D_entof() that returns a
pointer directly to the dataset's type. This is used by
H5Tcopy() when invoked on a dataset (see below).
./src/H5Epublic.h
Fixed typos in H5E_BEGIN_TRY and H5E_END_TRY macros.
./src/H5F.c
Closing a file with objects still open reports the file name
in the warning message. Removed unnecessary invalidation of
shared data types.
./src/H5Gent.c
./src/H5Gpkg.h
./src/H5Gprivate.h
Added `const' to some arguments.
./src/H5O.c
./src/H5Oprivate.h
./src/H5Oshared.c
An object header message can now be a pointer to a message in
some other object header. The pointer is to the first message
of the appropriate type in the other object header and hard
link counts are maintained automatically to prevent dangling
pointers. The old global heap method of message sharing is
also supported although nothing actually uses it.
./src/H5Oattr.c
./src/H5Ocomp.c
./src/H5Ocont.c
./src/H5Odtype.c
./src/H5Oefl.c
./src/H5Olayout.c
./src/H5Oname.c
./src/H5Osdspace.c
./src/H5Oshare.c
./src/H5Ostab.c
Changed the data type for the shared message info struct to
H5O_shared_t and added an extra initializer to the class
methods struct for the set_share method.
./src/H5Odtype.c
Added the ability to share data type messages by pointing to
other object headers.
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tpkg.h
./src/H5Tprivate.h
./src/H5Tpublic.h
Added named data types and changed the functionality of some
API functions as follows:
* The term `read-only' means that a type handle cannot be
modified with functions like H5Tset_*() or H5Tinsert().
* The term `immutable' means the same as `read-only' with the
added restriction that H5Tclose() cannot be called for the
type. A transient type is made immutable by calling
H5Tlock().
* Handles to named types are always read-only.
* Handles to predefined types are immutable.
* A transient type can be converted to a named type by calling
H5Tcommit(). This function will fail if the type is already
named or is immutable.
* The API function H5Tcommitted() returns an indication of
whether a data type has been commited (or is named). If
H5Tcommitted() returns TRUE for a data type obtained by
calling H5Dget_type() on a dataset, then the dataset is
using a shared data type.
* H5Topen() returns a handle to a named type.
* H5Tcopy() always returns a handle to a modifiable transient
type even when invoked on a named type. Also, when invoked
on a dataset it returns a modifiable transient type which is
a copy of the dataset's data type.
* Using a named data type in the call to H5Dcreate() causes
the dataset object header to point to the named data type,
but using a transient type causes the type to be copied into
the dataset's object header.
* The data type returned from H5Dget_type() is a named data
type or a read-only transient data type depending on whether
the dataset points to a named data type. The old behavior,
to return a modifiable transient type, is accomplished by
overloading H5Tcopy() to operate on datasets (see above).
* H5Tshare(), H5Tunshare(), and H5Tis_shared() have been
removed from the API.
The following features were *not* implemented because they
need more discussion:
* A named data type can be opened by applying H5Topen() to a
dataset in which case the data type is the data type of the
dataset (or the data type to which the dataset points if the
dataset has a shared data type).
* A named data type can have attributes like groups or
datasets.
* The members of a compound data type can point to named data
types.
./src/h5ls.c
Reports `Data type' for named data type objects in the file.
