Add small 'h5mkgrp' tool to create groups in an HDF5 file from the command
line, allowing the group structure for a file to be created in a script. This
tool closely follows the 'mkdir' command line tool in UNIX/Linux.
Allow tool library applications to pass a FAPL to the h5tool_fopen() call,
giving some additional flexibility to tools which are adding objects to an
existing HDF5 file (like h5copy & h5mkgrp).
Fix missing files in MANIFEST from previous checkin(s).
Tested on:
Linux/32 2.6 (chicago)
Linux/64 2.6 (chicago2)
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.
Added a framework to display information about a particular object.
This option (-O object_name) is not available to the users yet.
Currently only name of an object (or objects) is displayed.
Platforms tested:
sol, kagiso and copper.
Add "use the latest format" support for dataspace object header encode/
decode routines and clean up format a bit for the latest format (new to 1.8.x
releases)
Remove storing 'perm' parameter for array datatypes in memory and the file,
and add test to make certain that if any user applications are attempting to
store them, we get some reports back. (Should be unlikely, since the RefMan
says that the parameter is not implemented and is unsupported).
Carry those changes into the tests, etc.
Clean up a bunch more compiler warnings.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 4.11 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe
Linux/32 2.4 (heping) w/FORTRAN & C++
Linux/64 2.4 (mir) w/enable-1.6-compat
File format is not stable, don't keep files produced!
Description:
First stage of checkins modifying the format of groups to support creation
order. Implement "dense" storage for links in groups.
Try to clarify some of the symbols for the H5L API.
Add the H5Pset_latest_format() flag for FAPLs, to choose to use the newest
file format options (including "dense" link storage in groups)
Add the H5Pset_track_creation_order() flag for GCPLs, to enable creation
order tracking in groups (although no index on creation order yet).
Remove --enable-group-revision configure flag, as file format issues are
now handled in a backwardly/forwardly compatible way.
Clean up lots of compiler warnings and other minor formatting issues.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 4.11 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe
Linux/32 2.4 (heping) w/FORTRAN & C++
Linux/64 2.4 (mir) w/enable-v1.6 compa
Mac OSX/32 10.4.8 (amazon)
AIX 5.3 (copper) w/parallel & FORTRAN
Users can create external links using H5L_create_external(). These links
point to an object in another HDF5 file. Users can alter the behavior of
external links or create new kinds of links by registering callbacks
using the H5L interface.
Added tests, tools support, etc.
Also a number of other, minor changes have been made (some restructuring of
the H5L interface, for instance).
Additional documentation and examples are forthcoming.
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
Description: Added new tests for the h5stat tool; added --version flag
to the h5stat tool to display library version information
Solution:
Platforms tested: heping, shanti
Misc. update:
Description: I am checking in changes for the h5stat tool:
- updated Makefile.am to use tools library
- regenerated Makefile.in
- added command flags to display selected information
- added support for external files and filters
- small output formatting changes
For more information about current features and output see
updated h5stat RFC http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/RFC/h5stat/h5stat-spec.pdf
Solution:
Platforms tested: mir, heping, shanti, copper 64-bit, copper 32-bit parallel
using files from tools/testfiles directory and some NASA files
from our Web site.
Misc. update:
Anti-feature
Description:
Revert changes to H5G_stat_t struct, to make it compatible with the 1.6.x
branch again. The information that was added to the H5G_stat_t struct will
be reported through other API routines.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/C++
Linux 2.4/64 (mir) w/C++ & Fortran
Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
Description: Return value from H5Pget_layout is 0 for the compact datasets;
It was assumed in the code that it was always greater than 0; therefore
assertion failed when h5stat walked a compact dataset.
Solution: Fixed assertion statement
Platforms tested: h5stat doesn't have testscript yet; tested manually
with tfilters.h5 file on heping.
Fix is too minor to test it on multiple platforms.
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Check in some of the code cleanups from working on the external link
support. (This doesn't include any of the external link features)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Mac OSX.4 (amazon)
Linux 2.4
Bug fix
Description:
Remove several macros that are already defined in H5private.h and are
causing failures on copper.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
Include more header files with prototypes to make CC=g++ builds work.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/CC=g++
Too minor to require h5committest
Code cleanup
Description:
Fix a bunch of warnings flagged by Windows compilers.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
Update copyrights.
Description:
Solution:
This should address almost all of the "simple" cases in the repository.
There's still work to do, but it's going to require actually thinking about
the files in question instead of just copying & pasting.
