Move H5Giterate() and H5G_iterate_t to deprecated symbols section,
replacing them with H5Literate and H5L_iterate_t respectively.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 6.2 (duty)
FreeBSD/64 6.2 (liberty)
Linux/32 2.6 (kagiso)
Linux/64 2.6 (smirom)
AIX/32 5.3 (copper)
Solaris/32 5.10 (linew)
Mac OS X/32 10.4.10 (amazon)
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.
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:
Added member function H5File::openFile and overloaded for convenience.
Added overloaded getObjinfo to skip the middle parameter.
Changed
StrType(const size_t& size);
to
StrType(const int dummy, const size_t& size);
because the first one clashed with
StrType(const hid_t existing_id);
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (heping)
SunOS 5.8 64-bit (sol)
HPUX 11.00 (kelgia)
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
Description:
Added wrapper for H5Iget_type.
Added try/catch to many APIs that call private functions so that more
specific information can be provided at failure.
Added IdComponent::inMemFunc to help providing specific info.
Added const to parameters of several functions that missed that.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (heping)
SunOS 5.8 64-bit (sol)
AIX 5.1 (copper)
IRIX64 with -n32 (modi4)
HPUX 11.00 (kelgia)
Description:
Added these missing member functions:
AbstractDs::getArrayType
AbstractDs::getVarLenType
CommonFG::openArrayType
CommonFG::openVarLenType
CompType::getMemberArrayType
CompType::getMemberVarLenType
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (heping)
IRIX64 with -n32 (modi4)
Linux 2.4 w/PGI (colonelk)
Description:
- Added another overloaded CommonFG::getComment so the user will not
have to provide the comment's length.
- Added wrappers for H5Gget_comment when the comment is to be removed,
CommonFG::removeComment.
- Corrected several 'delete' statements
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (heping)
AIX 5.1 (copper)
Description:
Added the following to the C++ library
+ overloaded functions:
string CommonFG::getObjnameByIdx(hsize_t idx)
H5T_order_t AtomType::getOrder()
+ wrappers for H5*close
+ wrappers for H5Arename, H5Aget_storage_size, and H5Dget_storage_size
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (heping)
AIX 5.1 (copper)
SunOS 5.8 64-bit (sol)
Description:
Added wrappers for H5Fget_name:
H5File::getFileName
H5Object::getFileName
Moved some functions from Group into the base class CommonFG for
H5File too.
Platforms tested:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
Code cleanup
Description:
DataType::commit had incorrect parameter, H5Object. Changed
it to CommonFG, for H5File and Group.
The change caused additional header files needed for several
other cpp files.
Moved some functions from Group into the base class CommonFG for
H5File too.
Platforms tested:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
Misc. update:
Add/Improve documentation
Description
Added doxygen documentation to H5PredType.cpp and made minor changes
to the others for either correction or clarification.
Platforms:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
Misc. update:
Cleaning up warnings
Description:
Many exception constructors have warnings about reference to temporary
location because of the parameter initialization, for example,
"const string& var = 0."
Solution:
Changed "string&" parameters to pass by value for these constructors.
Consequently, passing string by value also takes care of char pointers
so the overloaded constructors for char pointers are then removed.
Also, instead of setting Exception::detailMessage to null string, I
set it to DEFAULT_MSG ("No detailed information provided") by default.
Platforms:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
IA-64 (titan)
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
Purpose: Usability enhancement
Description:
- Added more information about the failure to all the throw's,
i.e, member function name and more detail about the failure, where
appropriate. Also, added exception throws for private functions,
such as p_close to provide more specific details.
- Added two api functions: Exception::getFuncName() and
Exception::getCFuncName() to provide the name of the member
function where failure occurs.
- Fixed some typos, one of which caused segn. fault in some
situations (resetIdComponent was accidentally called twice
in a couple of places :)
Platforms:
arabica (sparc-sun-solaris 2.7)
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)
Fix and improve
Description:
- Put functions that are common to H5File and Group into a
prototype class, CommonFG. I didn't do that before because
of the fear of the consequences of multiple inheritance, since
H5File and Group already inherit from different super classes.
I recently read a C++ book and learned to use MI more safely.
This change reduced some more of code redundancy.
- Added missing const to some function parameters
Platforms tested:
Solaris/CC 5.0 (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
