Add "--enable-unsupported" configure flag.
Description
The "--enable-unsupported" configure flag allows a user to
prevent configure from failing due to the use of incompatible
options, such as c++ with parallel.
Specifying --enable-unsupported will bypass all of configure's
checks for incompatible and unsupported combinations of flags.
There are no guarantees that the library will be configured
in any sort of working condition, but that's the risk of
using the --enable-unsupported flag.
I've changed all default error messages related to unsupported
option combinations to indicate that using --enable-unsupported
will allow configure to complete without error.
Tested:
by hand on jam, tested all unsupported configure option
combinations with and without the new flag, making sure
the flag allows configure to finish without error.
(h5committest wouldn't do any good here; it won't test
the new option, and since we're enabling unsupported
combinations, failures are likely to occur in build or
tests with --enable-unsupported turned on anyways.
That's why they're unsupported!)
Improve h5diff performance.
Description:
The following changes for improving h5diff performance:
1) use HDmemcmp() before comparing each elements
(memcmp() is very fast at both linew and jam)
2) replace the expensive H5Tequals() calls
3) retrieve datatype information at dataset level not each element level
for compound datasets

Fixed Bug# 1979 Output from h5ls -rdlS on nested compound datatypes is
difficult to parse.
Description:
Update to add curly brackets for the nested compound members, when
S (--simple) option is used with -l (--label), so user can tell
which members blong to which compound type.
Merged from hdf5 trunk r19751.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), amani (linux64-LE)
Fixed h5diff to handle variable-length strings in a compound dataset
correctly. Also variable-length string array in a compound dataset.

Add --exclude-path option
Description:
Merged from hdf5 trunk (r19406).
Specified path to an object will be excluded from comparing the two files or two groups. If group is specified all the member objects will be excluded.

Bring r19402 from trunk to 1.8 branch:

little bit while I'm here.

Fix for Bug1975 h5diff - support recursive comparison on group when specified as an object
Description:
Merged from hdf5 trunk (r19400).
Compare member objects and groups recursively when two files or groups are specified to be compared. Support parallel diff and handling symbolic links accordingly.

Fix for Bug1896 h5repack - changing layout to COMPACT does not work
Description:
Merged from hdf5 trunk (r19389)
Make h5repack be able to convert a layout to COMPACT for small size dataset as default. Also add verifying layout changes in our test script.
Tested:
jam, amani
Description:
The fractal heap header structure keeps a pointer to the file associated with
it. However, it is possible for that file pointer to be closed while the
header is still in cache (through the shared file pointer). Previously, the
header's file pointer was not updated and subsequently pointed to an invalid
file structure. Modified fractal heap code to update the file pointer every
time the header is accessed.
Tested: jam, linew, amani (h5committest)
Add windows threads support to HDF5.
Description:
Added calls to the windows threads library to the H5TS layer, and wrapped
most calls to either pthreads or windows threads library with portable
H5TS-style defines. Modified tests to use portable function definitions
as well.
This can be configured via CMake with the HDF5_ENABLE_THREADSAFE
option, and should work on windows vista and later operating systems.
Tested:
h5committest, plus threadsafe with pthreads on jam and amani,
and tested on a Windows Vista VM with threadsafe using windows threads.
avoid H5Eclose_stack clearing the default stack. Please see bug 1799.
Tested on jam - simple change.
The changes to configure.in, tools/lib, config, c++/test, Makefile.am, and fortran
are only property changes from the merge.
H5T_ORDER_MIXED specifically for compound types and its derived types. They report mixed
orders if they have members of different orders.
Tested on heiwa, jam, and amani.
1. For enum type, members shouldn't be defined yet.
2. H5T_ORDER_NONE only works for reference and fixed-length
string.
3. For opaque type, the order will be ignored.
4. For compound type, all restrictions above apply to the
members.
I'll change H5Tget_order and do another commit.
Tested on jam, heiwa, and amani.
herr_t. To minimize the change of the library's behavior, in the function
H5Z_prelude_callback of H5Z.c, if the return value of can_apply is FALSE and
the filter is MANDATE, this function returns a FAILURE. If the return value is FALSE
but the filter is OPTIONAL, this function returns a SUCCEED. During the IO, the filter
will fail and return a size of zero. But the pipeline will skip this filter.
Tested on jam, linew, and amani. Tested on jam with szip.
Description:
In certain circumstances, the direct I/O driver did not perform correctly when
data was unaligned. The driver has been patched to fix this. Also added some
potential performance improvements for the unaligned case, and strengthened the
test for whether the data needs to be aligned.
Tested: cobalt
Description:
A bug introduced in 1.8.5 causes local heap data blocks to be mis-aligned when
sizeof_offsets + 2*sizeof_lengths is not a multiple of 8. In this case, the
address of the data block as stored in the heap prefix is aligned but the actual
data block is not. This causes files created with these sizes to be corrupted,
and prevents uncorrupted files with these sizes to be unreadable. Modified
local heap code to account for alignment.
Tested: jam, amani, linew (h5committest)
Add --no-dangling-links option to h5ls.
Description:
Related to "Bug 1830 - Following an dangling external link in h5ls should set non-zero return code."

Description:
Previously, the chunk cache would, when looking for a chunk, alwaylook for the
chunk in the b-tree before checking the cache. Reworked the functions that
look up chunks to always check the cache first and avoid the b-tree lookup if
the chunk is in cache.
Tested: jam, linew, amani (h5committest)
PHDF5 changed to use "mpiexec", instead of mpirun, as the default MPI
applications startup command as defined in the MPI-2 definition, section
4.1. Note that only mpich related (using mpicc command) definitions are
changed to mpiexec. Other favors like hcc, AIX, champion, are not changed
since I don't have a way to verify them yet.
Tested:
jam and amani, using both current and new mpich.
Did not h5committested since this affects PHDF5 configure only.

Description:
Merged from hdf5 trunk r18943.
Add '--follow-symlinks' option to follow symbolic links (soft and external).
