Description from trunk, r22836
In this bug, H5File doesn't have the ability to create attribute. The
following changes will provide that functionality and several others that
were also missing:
- Added an abstract class H5Location in between IdComponent and H5Object.
- New class structure of IdComponent, H5Location, H5Object, H5File
IdComponent
|
H5Location
/ \
H5Object H5File
- Wrappers in H5Object were moved to H5Location because the related C
functions take either file, group, dataset, or named datatype ID.
- Added wrapper for H5Rget_obj_type2
- Added tests for file attributes and H5Rget_obj_type2 wrapper
Description from trunk, r22845
Fixed miscellaneous inconsistencies and typos, which also took
care of the failure in Packet Table test on daily test today.
Description from trunk, r24143
Fixed comments, documentation, and mis-matched DOXYGEN_SHOULD_SKIP_THIS pairs.
Description from trunk, r24188
- The failure in daily test was caused by missing initialization of member
"id" in a few constructors. This is now fixed.
- Added two overloaded H5Location::setComment
- Improved some error reporting in H5Location
- Improved error reporting in tests
Description from trunk, r24189
Changed header guards from single underscore to double underscore.
Platforms tested:
SunOS 5.11 (emu)
Linux/32 2.6 (jam)
Linux/64 2.6 (koala)/PGI compilers
Description:
The class hierarchy was revised to address the problem reported in
bugzilla #1068. Classes AbstractDS and Attribute are moved out of
H5Object. Class Attribute now multiply inherits from IdComponent and
AbstractDs and class DataSet from H5Object and AbstractDs.
In addition, data member IdComponent::id was moved into subclasses:
Attribute, DataSet, DataSpace, DataType, H5File, Group, and PropList.
Also fixed bugzilla 1045: revised Attribute::write and Attribute::read
wrappers to handle memory allocation/deallocation properly. (bugzilla 1045)
Platforms tested:
SunOS 5.10 (linew)
Linux 2.6 (kagiso)
FreeBSD (duty)
Tested platform:
Kagiso only since it is only a comment block change. If it works in one
machine, it should work in all, I hope. Still need to check the parallel
build on copper.
Feasibility improvement
Description:
- Some member functions in class Exception can be called without
an Exception instance exits, but because they are not static, they
cannot.
- Many exception throwings don't provide any information to callers.
Solution:
- Add 'static' to several member functions in class Exception.
- Added <class name::function name> to some exceptions thrown
in H5File.cpp and H5FcreatProp.cpp. I'm trying this for users'
comments. More information may be added later and to all
exceptions.
- Changed the comment line for emacs editor to:
// C++ informative line for the emacs editor: -*- C++ -*-
because... I'd rather not say that the code "may look like C" :-)
Platforms tested:
Linux (gcc version egcs-2.91.66)
Bug Fix
Description:
Added comments to the top of C++ files to indicate that it's a C++
file and not a C source code file. Also added a macro which makes
emacs automagically enter c++-mode. (Recommended by Frank Schimmel

C++ API for 1.3.x branch
Description:
The *.C and *.h files named different than those in 1.2.x.
They are in the form: 'H5' + classname, or just classname if
the classname is already prefixed with 'H5' to avoid ambiguity
in documentation context. This version has several hidden bugs
fixed and an improvement on the reference counting approach.
The classes and their inheritance structure are listed below:
---------------------------------------
H5Library
Exception
RefCounter
IdComponent
H5File
DataSpace
H5Object
Group
AbstractDs
DataSet
Attribute
DataType
PredType
EnumType
CompType
AtomType
StrType
IntType
FloatType
PropList
FileCreatPropList
FileAccPropList
DSetCreatPropList
DSetMemXferPropList
---------------------------------------
IdComponent uses RefCounter to keep track of opened objects
so proper termination of HDF5 objects can be maintained.
Each class has a .h file containing the class declaration and
a .C file containing its definition. In addition to the classes
files, the following files do not have class information:
- H5Cpp.h: header file to be included in user's application
- H5Idtemplates.h: contains a template function used by several classes
- H5Classes.h: contains forward class declarations
- H5CommonFG.*: contains common code used by classes H5File and Group
- H5Include.h: contains the hdf5.h header file and the #undef RCSID
to work around the problem: multiple defined RcsId
- H5Alltypes.h: simply serves as a container to hold the header
files of all datatypes to simplify the header file inclusion
Platforms:
Solaris (arabica) and Linux
