Fixed h5diff to handle variable-length strings in a compound dataset
correctly. Also variable-length string array in a compound dataset.
Bug #1989.
Description:
Garbage values were displayed when h5diff compared variable-length
strings (or string array) in a compound type dataset.
Merged from hdf5 trunk r19712.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), heiwa (linuxppc64-BE)
Fix for group comparison with exclude-path case. Use relative path.
Description:
Merge from hdf5 trunk (r19443)
Related to "1890: h5diff excluding object for file comparison via command line" checkins. (r19407)
Tested:
jam, amani
Add extra test cases for Bug1975 h5diff - support recursive comparison on group when specified as an object
Description:
Merged from hdf5 trunk (r19409)
Additional tests for combination of group recursive and --follow-symlinks
with multi-linked external links with several files (same name/strucure).
Tested:
jam, amani, heiwa
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.

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.

Description:
This checkin includes updates to Windows test scripts for h5copy, h5diff, and h5dump tools. Each represents minor changes to syntax which emulates the updates made to the general-platform test scripts.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP
Description:
The test files used for the h5diff test script were recently moved to a new directory, and the format of the testing was changed. This checkin brings the changes to Windows as well.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP
Description:
A new parameter was added to h5diff recently. We add a new test to the h5diff script, and change the syntax in which h5diff is called from the h5repack test script
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP
Description:
On Windows, we receive many compiler warnings because Microsoft has implemented many "security-enhanced" versions of POSIX functions. However, the old versions still exist, so the warnings can be ignored. By setting a preprocessor definition, we can disable many of these warnings. On a typical HDF5 build, this reduces the number of warnings from ~1500 to ~600
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP
Description:
These changes are made via a user's suggestion, bugzilla bug #1164. These have all been tested in the trunk, and are stable/favorable changes.
In many of our project files on Windows, we have our linker setting set to ignore old link libraries-- either libc.lib or libcd.lib. This is a relic from converting project files from old versions of Visual Studio to newer ones, and is unnecessary. We remove the ignored library from the project files. This actually makes no difference in the output binaries.
In our debug project configurations, many of the projects were generating debug information for "Program Database and Edit & Continue". Other projects were using different settings, or none at all. We standardize to use "Program Database" setting, because it generates much smaller .obj files and cuts out unnecessary debug information.
Previously, there was Windows-dependent code inside H5detect.c, because not all projects could access the gethostname() function. However, we standardize our project-files to link with WS2_32.lib, so now this function is available. Thus, the Windows-specific code has been removed from H5detect.c.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP
VS.NET on WinXP
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:
Minor changes were recently made in the linux test scripts for h5diff and h5repack. This brings Windows up-to-date.
Note: I am still working on updates to testh5ls.bat-- there is one test that is failing, but should be ready soon.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP
Description:
Recently, the format of parameters for h5diff was changed. This checkin makes the neccessary changes for Windows to also bring it up to date.
Tested:
VS6 on WinXP
Description:
This checkin is another Windows project cleanup, and also extends our Windows support for 64-bit Fortran. Project files are now in VS2005 format, rather than VS.NET. A couple projects have been renamed to be more descriptive (*cstub rather than *_lib), and project settings make better use of build macros. This will make them much easier to update in the future.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP 32-bit
VS2005 on WinXP x64
Desciption:
This is the first major check-in in the process of depreciating Visual Studio 6.0. We create a new directory, windows_vs6, which now holds all of our previous VS6 project files. We expect to maintain this directory for only a short time (perhaps one release), so users have time to make the change.
The ./windows directory now contains project files for Visual Studio .Net, as well as existing source and test scripts. This will allow us to greatly simplify the build process for the majority of our users.
We have created a new solution (.Net equivolent of workspace) that houses the Fortran project files. This allowed us to remove these files from the main solution, as well as streamline the conversion in the Fortran solution. It is also much easier now to convert to Visual Studio 2005 files.
Notes:
I didn't update the MANIFEST with this check-in, I will make those changes shortly.
Also, I haven't yet updated the documentation to reflect this check-in. That is going to require more work.
We will be giving a seminar in the coming weeks about .Net and how to migrate over.
Tested:
VS6/VNET/VS2005 on WinXP 32/64-bit
For windows support, remove all.zip from hdf5.
