Description:
Fixed typos and re-arranged some functions to be in sync with 1.6.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (heping)
SunOS 5.9 (shanti)
AIX 5.1 (copper)
Description:
Changed to alias string instead of std, i.e. H5std_string instead
of H5std, because the old way wasn't working when std didn't exist.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (heping)
SunOS 5.8 64-bit (sol)
HPUX 11.00 (kelgia) - this was the problematic platform but I wasn't
able to test before.
Description:
Added alias H5_std so either the global or std namespace can be
used, depending on H5_NO_STD.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (heping)
SunOS 5.8 64-bit (sol)
AIX 5.1 (copper)
Description:
There was a workaround for predefined types, in the C++ library,
implemented when the C++ library was handling the reference
counting of the object ids on its own. Currently, the C++ library
is using the available APIs from the C library for that purpose,
and there were bugs reported involving that part of the C++ library.
So, I decided to remove the workaround completely.
Also, improved the use of std members.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (heping)
SunOS 5.8 64-bit (sol)
Linux 2.4 w/PGI (colonelk)
Code cleanup
Description:
Trim trailing whitespace, which is making 'diff'ing the two branches
difficult.
Solution:
Ran this script in each directory:
foreach f (*.[ch] *.cpp)
sed 's/[[:blank:]]*$//' $f > sed.out && mv sed.out $f
end
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
Bug Fix/Code Cleanup/Doc Cleanup/Optimization/Branch Sync :-)
Description:
Generally speaking, this is the "signed->unsigned" change to selections.
However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier
until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation. So... I
brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the
release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in
performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch,
but not the other.
I've also tagged the repository before making this checkin with the label
"before_signed_unsigned_changes".
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel & fphdf5
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/backward compatibility
Solaris 2.7 (arabica) w/"purify options"
Solaris 2.8 (sol) w/FORTRAN & C++
AIX 5.x (copper) w/parallel & FORTRAN
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/FORTRAN
Linux 2.4 (heping) w/FORTRAN & C++
Misc. update:
Description:
Updated various function headers for the RM as reviewing progresses.
Rearranged functions in header files for more sensible look of the RM.
Platforms tested:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
Code cleanup
Description:
Changed version #'s returned from H5Pget_version from 'int *' to
'unsigned *' since we are never going to be using negative version #'s... :-)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir)
too small to need h5committest
Code cleanup
Description:
Finish converting the B-tree 'K' values to use unsigned integers, rather
than signed ones, since negative amounts of entries in a B-tree node aren't
meaningful.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Purpose:
use H5_DLLCPP to replacer __DLLCPP__ for c++ interfaces.
Description:
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux 2.2.18smp, IRIX64, solaris 2.7, windows 2000
Purpose:
Adding support for dll
Description:
Added __DLLCPP__ to all public classes and templates.
Added #include "H5Include.h" to H5RefCounter.cpp because of the
use of DLLCPP in .h file and it needs the following chain:
H5Include.h/hdf5.h/H5public.h/H5api_adpt.h
Added #pragma warning(disable: 4251) to H5Exception.h to eliminate
this warning on private data members of type 'string.' This
occurs because 'string' is not yet instantiated at compilation
time; however, since the class is exported, the warning is
harmless.
Changed this member function's parameter to be passed as reference.
from:
void CompType::insertMember( const string name,...
to:
void CompType::insertMember( const string& name,...
Platforms tested:
Linux 6.2 (eirene)
Windows 2000
Backward Compatibility Fix
Description:
One of H5P[gs]et_sym_k's parameters changed between v1.4 and the development
branch.
Solution:
Added v1.4 compat stuff around H5P[gs]et_sym_k implementation and testing
to allow v1.4.x users to continue to use their source code without
modification.
These changes are for everything except the FORTRAN wrappers - I spoke with
Elena and she will make the FORTRAN wrapper changes.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
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
fschimme@monsoon.CAPS.ou.edu)
Purpose: bug fix
Description:
I found a couple of places where virtual destructors were missing
and could cause small memory leaks. Also, some destructors were
not virtual when they should be.
Solution:
- added virtual destructors, which also free dynamically allocated
memory
- added virtual to several destructors
- also, fixed several typos
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
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
