New feature: implementation of h5import conversion of an ASCII plain-text file containing text data
The string type H5T_C_S1 is used to define the data (the datum is defined here as one line of text in the text file). The size is set to variable length (H5T_VARIABLE)
The space used is a 1D array with as many elements as there are lines in the ASCII file (a line is defined by the inclusion of an end of line character, ASCII number 10). A first traversal of the input text file must be made to determine the number of lines in the file and thus the dimensionality of the dataset.
New test to the test script added
text input files and teststr.h5 for h5dump to compare added
Tested: windows, linux, solaris
Bug fix
Description:
The tests would just segmentation fault in Tflops because the
compiled code were launched without using the $RUNSERIAL to launch
them. This may fail in some batch systems like Tflops.
Solution:
Used $RUNSERIAL to launch the compiled code.
Also fixed a typo of the script command line.
Platforms tested:
Only tested in Tflops since the modified code resided there.
Misc. update:
Purpose: Bug fix
Description: h5import tests will fail if srcdir option
is used with configure.
Solution: Modified h5importtest.c h5importtestutil.sh files
to search for input files in the proper directory and
to write output files to the proper directory.
Platforms tested: Tested on burrwhite, arabica, and modi4.
Unfortunately srcdir option was used only on
arabica, since I am having a weird 'timezone'
problem on all Linux machines when srcdir is used, and
on modi4 build has to be done in the same directory (at
least this is a message I am getting from configure;
should it work?)
Misc. update:
Purpose: New tool
Description: Pankaj created h5import tool long time ago. I am finally checking
the source code in for the 1.6 release.
Known problems: h5import test will crash if srcdir option
is used; will be fixed before the release.
Solution:
Platforms tested: vebena, arabica, modi4 were tested. h5import tests passed
I also tested on arabica with srcdir option to make sure that
there is a problem when srcdir is used. After that I disabled
h5import tests. Daily tests will build h5import, but will not run
h5import tests.
