* commit '47b1c667c64677d2e28c4128fc027cfdfe60b354':
More minor edits to users guide.
Updated users guide for location of alpha 1 release & repaired several typos.
Added .pdf and .docx versions of the most recent version of the VFD SWMR RFC. Updates on the RFC are cursory, and mostly in the introduction. The design section is dated -- added a warning to this effect.
VFD SWMR RFC. Updates on the RFC are cursory, and mostly in the
introduction. The design section is dated -- added a warning to
this effect.
Reviewed and editied the users guide -- specifically:
Verified instructions for build and test, and also for demos.
Removed mention of call to autogen.sh, as that will already be
run on the friendly user release version.
Re-worked the introduction to better discribe VFD SWMR, and
to outline current limitations.
Changed references to "shadow file" to "metadata file" to match
field names.
Still need to update pointer to the bit-bucket repository for the
friendly user release.
Also, must verify that the demo code mentioned in the user guide
is publicly available.
In the `vfd_swmr_create_fapl()` dissection, change the /** **/
comments in the literal code to plain markdown paragraphs.
Slightly change wording and markdown elsewhere.
syntax highlighting colors some (but not all) unescaped underscores red like
there is some problem. It's possible there is some problem, since underscores
are used to indicate some kind of emphasis---probably underlining.
including the merge of `hdffv/hdf5/develop`, back to the branch that Vailin and
I share.
Now I need to put this branch on a fork with a less confusing name than
vchoi_fork!
Check for smaller or larger section size after merging and shrinking a section,
for this case is the section that is smaller than threshold (see H5MF_xfree() in H5MF.c).
It is possible for the section to be smaller after merging/shrinking (see H5MF__sect_large_shrink()
in H5MFsection.c).
Given that the VFD SWMR configuration FAPL property is set, the writer field must
be consistent with the flags passed in the H5Fopen() (either H5F_ACC_RDWR for the
VFD SWMR writer, or H5F_ACC_RDONLY for the VFD SWMR readers).
