New Features!
Description:
Start migrating the internal use of property lists in the library from the
older implementation to the new generic property lists.
Currently, only the dataset transfer property lists are migrated to the
new architecture, all the rest of the property list types are still using
the older architecture.
Also, the backward compatibility features are not implemented yet, so
applications which use dataset transfer properties may need to make the
following changes:
H5Pcreate(H5P_DATASET_XFER) -> H5Pcreate_list(H5P_DATASET_XFER_NEW)
and
H5Pclose(<a dataset transfer property list>) -> H5Pclose_list(id)
This still may have some bugs in it, especially with Fortran, but I should
be wrapping up those later today.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Update
Description:
Changed includes of the form:
#include <hdf5_file.h>
to
#include "hdf5_file.h"
so that gcc can pick them up easier without including the system
header files since we don't care about them.
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.
Test checkpoint
Description:
Checkpointing generic property tests before removing the older [non-generic]
property list implementation and switching all the property lists to use
the generic code.
Generic properties are feature complete and as fully tested as I can
determine.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.2 (hawkwind)
Added testing
Description:
Since I accidentally checked in some bug-fixes for the generic property
code in my last checkin, I thought it would be a good idea to check in the
tests for them also. If these cause problems, I'll back them out of the
CVS tree...
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.2 (hawkwind)
