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.
Code cleanup
Description:
Trim trailing whitespace in Makefile.am and C/C++ source files to make
diffing changes easier.
Platforms tested:
None necessary, whitespace only change
Code cleanup
Description:
Added some comments about the thread-specific memory for the error and
function stacks.
Changed H5close() to not use the function stack (since it causes it to
be re-enabled after shutting it down)
Changed thread-safe semaphore code to not use dynamicly allocated memory.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4
Too minor to require h5committest
Description: Compiler complained about const type * variables that were
used in the functions that require "non const" parameters.
Compilation failed.
Solution: Use casting to avoid compilation errors.
Platforms tested: SX-6, heping and mir with new g95
Misc. update:
New debugging feature
Description:
Add some code to track where memory from the internal free list allocator
is allocated within the library. It's not quite ready for "prime time" yet,
but it's close enough to be useful.
This is disabled by default and requires the H5FL_TRACK macro in
src/H5FLprivate.h to be uncommented to activate during debugging.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4
Too minor to require full h5committest
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: Removed PABLO from the source
Solution:
Platforms tested: arabica with 64-bit, copper with parallel,
heping with GNU C and C++ and PGI fortran (but
I disabled hl, there is some weird problem only
on heping: F9XMODFLAG is not
propagated to the Makefile files
Misc. update:
Bug fix.
Description:
threadsafe test (ttsafe) would seg-fault if --disable-production --enable-debug
mode is used. Reason was that the fstack.nused field was not initialized
when created.
Solution:
Init new fstack.nused with 0.
Platforms tested:
Tested in mir, using development/debug mode.
Did not "h5committested" as change is trivial and limited to threadsafe mode.
Bug Fix/Code Cleanup/Doc Cleanup/Optimization/Branch Sync :-)
Description:
Generally speaking, this is the "signed->unsigned" change to selections.
However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier
until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation. So... I
brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the
release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in
performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch,
but not the other.
I've also tagged the repository before making this checkin with the label
"before_signed_unsigned_changes".
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel & fphdf5
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/backward compatibility
Solaris 2.7 (arabica) w/"purify options"
Solaris 2.8 (sol) w/FORTRAN & C++
AIX 5.x (copper) w/parallel & FORTRAN
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/FORTRAN
Linux 2.4 (heping) w/FORTRAN & C++
Misc. update:
Code cleanup & minor optimization
Description:
Re-work the way interface initialization routines are specified in the
library to avoid the overhead of checking for them in routines where there is
no interface initialization routine. This cleans up warnings with gcc 3.4,
reduces the library binary size a bit (about 2-3%) and should speedup the
library's execution slightly.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/gcc34
h5committest
Bug fix.
Description:
The new routines added for H5MM_[m|c]alloc were causing the function
stack code to infinitely recurse while allocating room for the thread-specific
information (when thread-safety was turned on).
Solution:
Call HDmalloc directly instead of H5MM_malloc
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
Changed are not tested in h5committest
New feature for developers.
Description:
Added "function stack" tracing to library. This allows developers (there
is no public API) to call H5FS_print within the library and get a listing
of the functions traversed to reach that point in the library. Eventually,
I may add support for reporting the parameters to each function also...
Mainly for debugging parallel I/O programs, but I think it will come in
handy in other cases also.
The function stack tracking is controlled with a configure switch:
--enable-funcstack, which defaults to enabled currently. When we branch
for 1.6, we should change the default setting on the branch to be disabled.
Also, added a destructor to the thread-specific keys when thread-safety is
turned on in the library. Otherwise, they were leaking memory and causing
difficult to debug errors in threaded programs (like the test/ttsafe test).
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}
FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir) w/thread-safety enabled.
Misc. update:
Updated MANIFEST with new files added (src/H5FS.c & src/H5FDprivate.h)
Update release_docs/RELEASE with thread-safety bug fix.
