Description:
Shortly before the release, we noticed that one of our h5dump xml Windows tests failed when used with a release tarball. This is because of the Unix-style EOL characters in the expected output. For the release, we simply skipped the test. However, we can instead convert the expected output to Windows EOL format, and run the test. This is a backport from the HDF5 trunk.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP
Description:
On test fails from the release tarball. Specifically, the h5diff xml test for tsaf.h5.xml. For some reason, fc (Windows diff utility) detects differences from the expected output if the file has unix-style end-of-line characters. It only happens for this test. I suspect it is because the file is so long, but it's too late to debug for the release. Simply comment it out until we can fix it.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP (32- and 64-bit)
Description:
In previous versions of Windows, the builtin 'FC' command (diff equivalent) didn't return proper exit status. As a work-around, we parsed the message returned to check status. This relies on English return messages.
In current Windows XP and Windows Vista, FC will return exit status as expected, so we can remove this workaround. Older platforms where we would need this workaround are no longer supported.
Tested:
VS2005 on Windows XP
Small test on Windows Vista
Description:
-- Add new source files to Windows projects: H5Pdeprec.c, H5Pint.c, H5Ddbg.c, H5Dint.c
-- Add new h5dump XML tests to Windows test script
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP
