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
h5dump bug 701. Symptom: The creation of a hardlink pointing to the root group "/" causes h5dump to display it as a link pointing to itself.
Cure: the root group was not being inserted in the table that keeps track of object names and links.
Added a test for this in the test generation program, the creation of a hardlink to the root
Purpose:
Testing
Description:
The h5ls test script only looked at exit status.
Solution:
Created expected output files and compare actual output
with expected output.
Platforms tested:
