Bring r20557:22085 from trunk to this branch, also fixing some other
issues/failures in the branch simultaneously. The h5repack tests are still
failing, but Neil will be checking into those, so the branch can be fully
functional again.
Tested on:
Mac OSX/64 10.7.3 (amazon) w/debug
Usage is
-m T, --format=T
Where T - is a string containing the floating point format, e.g '%.3f'
The test consists of writing a number with 7 fractional digits (default precision display of %f is 6 digits) and have the 7 digits displayed with
-m %.7f fpformat.h5
Tested: windows, linux, solaris
Note: the output file was generated in linux, it may be possible that platforms other than the ones tested have a different representation of the number
