Merge from trunk
Description:
Merged revisions 17228 and 17440 from trunk to 1.8
Specifically, this brings support of --enable-static-exec flag into 1.8
Tested:
Manually on jam, linew, smirom, liberty, plus h5committest.
Currently, there is no automatic regression test that exists due to
portability issues. Behavior is both different and undefined on certain
systems (and while 'nm' command seems to exist on all machines, behavior
is confirmed to be different on Mac, possibly others). Solution will be
to set up some sort of framework in daily tests to build statically,
remove shared paths, and verify executables can function.
Updating autotools
Description:
Bring revisions 17345 and 17357 from trunk to 1.8, specifically:
- Automake upgraded to 1.11
- Autoconf upgraded to 2.64
- bin/reconfigure script edited to use new versions (on jam), and
run to generate new configure script and Makefile.in's.
- configure.in script edited to add "_cv_" to all AC_CACHE_VAL strings
(in order to comply with new autoconf standard).
- bin/install-sh script replaced with new version as provided
by automake.
Tested:
- All issues on trunk were resolved, so only tested on jam and linew. Any
other outliers should be caught by daily tests.
- Updated bin/reconfigure to use latest version of automake (1.10.2).
Regenerated Makefile.in's by running bin/reconfigure.
- Added libtool version numbers to c++, fortran, hl, hl c++, and hl fortran
libraries.
Tested:
jam, liberty, smirom
Bug Fix
Description:
Fixing BZ #1381. The --includedir=DIR configure option, which is used to
spceify installation location of C header files, did not work correctly as
the path was hard-coded into config/commence.am. I'm presuming this is
because an older version of automake didn't know where to put C header
files. In any case, removing this line now defaults the includedir to the
same directory that it is currently hard-coded to, and also fixes the
configure flag which allows for customization of this value.
Tested:
jam, liberty
have 2 expected outputs for 2 h5ls runs depending if run on a big or little endian machine. Configure.in was modified to export a variable carrying endianess information to testh5ls.sh. This script then compares the current run with 2 expected outputs, one for a big-endian machine (linew was used to generate the output), other for little endian (jam was used to generate the output)
the way h5ls prints types, it starts searching for NATIVE types first. One solution would be h5ls not to detect these native types, using for example the same print datatype function that h5dump does, that would make the output look the same on all platforms ("32-bit little-endian integer" would be printed instead). Drawback, this "native" information would not be available. Other solution is to have not one but 2 expected outputs and make the shell script detect the endianess and compare with one output or other
tested: jam, linew
Description: Libtool wasn't working on linew because the script was
not working with the Solaris Bourne shell. Libtool has built-
in detection to ensure that it uses an appropriate shell,
but our config/commence.am was hard coding this shell to be
/bin/sh. Removing this line allows the shell to be picked up
by configure, thus allowing libtool to use the correct shell
on linew (bash). This was initially added to correct for a problem
on an old machine (janus), so shoudn't be needed for machines
we currently support.
Tested: full make check install on kagiso and linew, compile only
on smirom, duty, and liberty.
Description:
1) configure now sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH before checking for presence of
SZIP encoder, so user does not need to set this. The path is then
saved and sent to Makefiles, and used when "make check-install" is
invoked, so user doesn't need to set this manually.
2) Upgraded libtool to version 2.2.6a
3) Rearranged tools build order as h5dump depends on existence of h5diff
and h5import. Since h5dump is a sister directory as opposed to a parent
of either, it doesn't know about the build rules of these tools, so
setting any sort of explicit dependency confuses automake as it won't
know how to build the tools. Instead, setting CONFIG = ordered forces
an in-order traversal of each tools subdirectory. (without it will also
traverse in order by default, but this should prevent gmake's -j option
from jumping ahead as well). 'make check install' should now be able to
be invoked after 'configure' without causing a dependency failure.
4) Removed H5_HAVE_LARGE_HSIZET macro from vms/src/h5pubconf.h, as this macro
has now been out of the code for some time. (vms pubconf needs to be
updated manually, which is why it was still hanging around).
Tested: kagiso, smirom, liberty
Note: h5diff looks to be causing failures in h5copy and h5dump tools tests,
though these were present before any of my changes. My changes only
affect build order and configuration setup, and shouldn't prevent
fixes for these failures coming in after this checkin. Other than these,
tests pass fine.
Description:
The fortran Makefile.am used HDF_FORTRAN to indicate it is part of the
Fortran API source so that conclude.am will give fortran api prefix in the
test output. The symbox HDF_FORTRAN is also used in configure for a different
purpose (indicated --enable-fortran). They conflicted.
Similar problem for the symbol HDF_CXX.
Solution:
Changed all the involved Makefile.am to use "FORTRAN_API" instead. It is
a more appropriate name. Same for CXX_API.
Along the way, discovered that the Makefile.am of hl/fortran/test and
hl/cxx/test did not have those symbols at all. Added them in.
Platform tested:
Kagiso serial and h5committested (kagisopp, smirom, linew).
Improvement.
Description:
src/libhdf5.settings was the initial configure summary and is installed.
Then configure is changed to dump a summary of the configure settings to
the output and also append it to src/libhdf5.settings. That created
two different output formats and duplicated information. This is the
initial attempt to clean up this confusion and unify the output format.
It is decided to use the src/libhdf5.settings template as the unified means.
This requires more macros symbols be defined. The following symbols are
all related to generating the src/libhdf5.settings file.
AC_SUBST(EXTERNAL_FILTERS)
AC_SUBST(MPE) MPE=no
AC_SUBST(STATIC_EXEC) STATIC_EXEC=no
AC_SUBST(HDF_FORTRAN) HDF_FORTRAN=no
AC_SUBST(FC) HDF_FORTRAN=no
AC_SUBST(HDF_CXX) HDF_CXX=no
AC_SUBST(CXX) HDF_CXX=no
AC_SUBST(HDF5_HL) HDF5_HL=yes
AC_SUBST(GPFS) GPFS=no
AC_SUBST(LINUX_LFS) LINUX_LFS=no
AC_SUBST(INSTRUMENT) INSTRUMENT=no
AC_SUBST(CODESTACK) CODESTACK=no
AC_SUBST(HAVE_DMALLOC) HAVE_DMALLOC=no
AC_SUBST(DIRECT_VFD) DIRECT_VFD=no
AC_SUBST(THREADSAFE) THREADSAFE=no
AC_SUBST(STATIC_SHARED)
AC_SUBST(enable_shared)
AC_SUBST(enable_static)
AC_SUBST(UNAME_INFO) UNAME_INFO=`uname -a`
The src/libhdf5.settings.in has CONDITIONAL's added to it too. The
untrue conditions turned into a "#" and these lines are cleaned by the
post processing script.
Platform tested:
h5committest on kagiso, smirom and linew. (smirom had failures not due to
my changes.)
Description: Updated bin/reconfigure script to reflect the new versions of
libtool and automake in the /home1/packages/ directory.
Rearranged configure.in script. For some reason, when using
libtool 2.2, the libtool script doesn't generate until
later in the configuration process, so I had to move
a test that parsed through the libtool script to a point
after where it was actually being generated.
Ran libtoolize on the project, and ran bin/reconfigure to
regenerate configure and Makefile.in's throughout.
Tested: kagiso, smirom, linew, tg-login
Add work-around to allow reading files that were produced with a buggy
earlier version of the library, which could create objects with the wrong
object header message count. There is now a configure flag
"--enable-strict-format-checks" which triggers a failure on reading a file
with this sort of corruption (when enabled) and allows the object to be read
(when disabled). The default value for the "strict-format-checks" flag is
yes when the "debug" flag is enabled and no when the "debug" flag is disabled.
Note that if strict format checks are disabled (allowing objects with
this particular kind of corruption to be read) and the file is opened with
write access, the library will re-write the object header for the corrupt
object with the correct # of object header messages.
This closes bugzilla bug #1010.
