Code cleanup
Description:
Windows is generating hundreds of warnings from some of the practices in
the library. Mostly, they are because size_t is 32-bit and hsize_t is
64-bit on Windows and we were carelessly casting the larger values down to
the smaller ones without checking for overflow.
Also, some other small code cleanups,etc.
Solution:
Re-worked some algorithms to eliminate the casts and also added more
overflow checking for assignments and function parameters which needed
casts.
Kent did most of the work, I just went over his changes and fit them into
the the library code a bit better.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Feature shift
Description:
Take out the v1.2.x compatibility stubs and put in the hooks for v1.4.x
compatibility when needed.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.3 (hawkwind)
Code Movement
Description:
Moved some functions which worked only with the h5tools_str_t
structure from the h5tools module to the h5tools_str module.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug Fix
Description:
Some platforms (gondolin) don't necessarily have the vsnprintf
function.
Solution:
Changed it to HDvsnprintf and added a header for H5private to include
it...
Platforms tested:
Linux
