macros in the dumper. this was basically adding a space after most of the '}'.
there are some places that don't have the space because those '}' were not printed
by the end_obj macro
the generanted hdf files against saved output of hdp. This did not
work well because whenever the hdp changes its output format, the
tests failed unnecessarily. The tests also failed if the test machine
uses a different version of HDF library from the HDF5 development
machine.
Changed the algorithm to compare the generated HDF files against
saved HDF files (first by a simple cmp; if that fails, compare the
output of the host machine's hdp on both HDF files.)
Saved HDF files are stored in testfiles/Expected.
Tested on Hawkwind (FreeBSD) with srcdir option and Baldric (Solaris)
without srcdir option.
New feature
Problem:
The h5toh4 converter tester - testh5toh4, is set up to place output
files in same directory as input files. A difficulty comes up when
the input files come off a write-protected media, such-as CDROM.
Solution:
Rather than using "cd" to change directory and referencing files by
short filename only, "input directory" and "output directory" are
defined explicitly, and files are always referenced with pathnames
included. For cases when the converter generates the output filename,
a copy of the input file is first placed in the "output directory".
The copied input file is used by h5toh4 and then removed.
On Solaris2.5, the following sequence of commands seemed to work fine:
$ gunzip < hdf5-1.1.72.tar.gz | tar xf -
$ chmod -R ugo-w hdf5-1.1.72
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../hdf5-1.1.72/configure --enable-production --disable-debug \
$ --with-hdf4=... --with-zlib=...
$ make check
This change should allow the tester to be used when the hdf5 source
is on a read only media like a CDROM.
Platform tested:
Solaris2.5
Bug fix
Problem:
The hdp dumper output files used in the h5toh4 converter test
program have the result of the latest changes to the HDF4 library,
but the converter was to maintain compatability with HDF4.1r2.
Solution:
Regenerate the HDF4.1r2 version of the hdp dumper ouput files to
be used for the h5toh4 converter test program.
Platform tested:
Solaris2.5
New feature
Solution:
Modified h5dumptst.c to generate more single dimension
datasets of H5T_STRING type held in file tstr2.h5.
Platform tested:
Solaris2.5
Conform closer to other test print-out.
Solution:
Added "All h5dump tests passed." statement to output
of testh5dump.sh when appropriate. Similarly, added
"All h5toh4 tests passed." statement to output of
testh5toh4 when appropriate.
Also, added the testing of converting H5 files with
loop pathways into H4 files with recursive references.
Platforms tested:
Solaris2.5, Digital Unix 4.0
