* "Simultaneous and equivalent" Read-Write and Write-Only channels for
file I/O.
* Only supports drivers with the H5FD_FEAT_DEFAULT_VFD_COMPATIBLE flag for
now, preventing issues with multi-file drivers.
Add Mirror VFD to library.
* Write-only operations over a network.
* Uses TCP/IP sockets.
* Server and auxiliary server-shutdown programs provided in a new directory,
`utils/mirror_vfd`.
* Automated testing via loopback ("remote" of localhost).
of the va_list, so it's at least possible for another connector to know what
the operation is and decide whether to implement it or not.
Added a new VOL sub-class called "introspect" where callbacks that report
information about the connector or container can be placed. Added an
'opt_query' callback to this sub-class, for a connector to report back
to the library whether a particular optional callback operation is supported.
Also added a 'get_conn_cls' introspection callback, to retrieve the H5VL_class_t
of a connector (either the "current" connector, H5VL_GET_CONN_LVL_CURR, or
the terminal connector, H5VL_GET_CONN_LVL_TERM).
Moved the "post open" operation from a file 'specific' operation to a file
'optional' operation, now that it's possible to detect (with the 'opt_query'
introspection callback) whether a VOL connector implements an optional
operation, without just returning an error.
Added new internal VOL helper routines: H5VL_object_is_native, to determine
if an object is in (or is a) native file, and H5VL_file_is_same, to determine
if two objects are in (or are) the same terminal VOL connector's container.
(And moved the special handling for FILE_IS_EQUAL operation out of internal VOL
callback routine into H5VL_file_is_same)
Made new dataset 'get' operation for H5Dvlen_get_buf_size, aligning it better
with other 'get' operations in API.
Fixed several issues with pass-through connectors, which are now passing the
'make check-passthrough-vol' tests again.
A bunch of warning and style cleanups as well.
Also support references to external files
Add new H5T_REF type and type conversion routines
Support conversion from H5T_REF_OBJ/DSET_REG to H5T_REF
Add H5Treclaim() API to reclaim memory of vlen/reference types
Deprecate H5Dvlen_reclaim()
Fix H5T_vlen_reclaim() and H5T_reclaim() to use private callback
Add H5T_ref_reclaim()
Move previous H5R APIs to H5Rdeprec.c
Clean up H5Ocopy
Separate H5O_copy_expand_ref() to H5Ocopy_ref()
Add support for copying new reference types
Clean up deprecated routines to go through VOL and same code path
Fix return codes in existing trefer.c test
Rename trefer.c to trefer_deprec.c
trefer.c is for new references
Add performance test for trefer
Add additional obj_copy_ref test
Make use of tokens and blobs to store references
Skip blob encoding for object references
Start adding new reference examples
in the global heap, and changed the VL datatype conversion code to use blobs.
Move encode/decode of sequence lengths into VL datatype callbacks, from native
VOL blob routines.
* Macro cleanup and obvious warning fixes in parallel code.
* Moved H5FD comm and info dup/free wrapper code to a new H5mpi.c file
and separated it to deal with each MPI type separately.
* H5VLconnector.h for terminal connector things
* H5VLconnector_passthru.h for passthrough connector things
Note that these headers are arranged such that they are included in
hdf5.h so VOL connectors only need to include that. The separation into
multiple headers is mainly for readability.
Add script raybsub to handle submitting .lsf files on ray with bsub <
script.lsf syntax that we couldn't handle with CMake.
Add hpc-cmake-tgz option for bin/release.
variables during testing, including connecting native, pass-through, and
dynamically loaded VOL connectors. Also bring native and pass-through
VOL connectors into alignment, removing the "H5VLnative_private.h" header.
Add more sample batch scripts, specifically for sbatch, not for knl
cross compile.
Don't run parallel tests when no parallel test script is configured in
HDF5options.cmake.
