Autotool Upgrade / Libtool Bug Fix
Description:
Updated autotools referenced in bin/reconfigure as follows:
Autoconf 2.64 --> Autoconf 2.65
Automake 1.11 --> Automake 1.11.1
Libtool 2.2.6a --> Libtool 2.2.6b-mcg
The referenced libtool version is a custom version of 2.2.6b. It
has been tweaked to fix a bug in libtool that occurs
when using PGI 10.0 compilers. A check incorrectly categorizes
the C++ compiler as version 1.0 instead of 10.0, and the link
line is subsequently set up incorrectly and fails to compile.
A patch has been made available and will be included in the next
release of libtool, but in the meantime I've applied the patch to a custom
installation as indicated above. This bin/reconfigure now references
the custom installation, and the resulting configure script will correctly
categorize the PGI 10.0 C++ compiler.
Ran bin/reconfigure to regenerate configure and makefiles.
Tested:
jam and amani with PGI 10.0 compilers.
h5committest
The mixed use of RUNTEST (original) and RUNTESTS (new) caused
confusion. E.g., the timings in test/ was still using the old
$RUNTEST. It made more sense to use $RUNTEST which is used
by the dejagnu feature of automake. So, I changed all
$RUNTEST or $RUNTESTS to $RUNEXEC.
config/commence.am & config/conclude.am are the two files
that got changes. Also fixed an error in test/Makefile.am.
The rest are changed by bin/reconfigure.
Tested: h5committested.
Merge from Trunk
Description:
Merging all of my CFLAGS-related changes from trunk to 1.8
This includes revision #s: 17616, 17625, 17627, 17639, and 17643.
Tested:
h5committest and some additional checks on our FreeBSD as well
as NCSA's machines.
Updating autotools
Description:
Bring revisions 17345 and 17357 from trunk to 1.8, specifically:
- Automake upgraded to 1.11
- Autoconf upgraded to 2.64
- bin/reconfigure script edited to use new versions (on jam), and
run to generate new configure script and Makefile.in's.
- configure.in script edited to add "_cv_" to all AC_CACHE_VAL strings
(in order to comply with new autoconf standard).
- bin/install-sh script replaced with new version as provided
by automake.
Tested:
- All issues on trunk were resolved, so only tested on jam and linew. Any
other outliers should be caught by daily tests.
If the AR command has embedded shell separators such as the case of
"AR = ar -X 64", $AR ends up as a blank.
Solution:
Put quotes around the command substitution string to protect against embedded
separators. Applied the same to both AR and RANLIB assignments.
Tested:
At Up (AIX 5.3) only because that was where I discovered the error
when AR is ar -X 64
- Updated bin/reconfigure to use latest version of automake (1.10.2).
Regenerated Makefile.in's by running bin/reconfigure.
- Added libtool version numbers to c++, fortran, hl, hl c++, and hl fortran
libraries.
Tested:
jam, liberty, smirom
Bug Fix
Description:
Fixing BZ #1381. The --includedir=DIR configure option, which is used to
spceify installation location of C header files, did not work correctly as
the path was hard-coded into config/commence.am. I'm presuming this is
because an older version of automake didn't know where to put C header
files. In any case, removing this line now defaults the includedir to the
same directory that it is currently hard-coded to, and also fixes the
configure flag which allows for customization of this value.
Tested:
jam, liberty
have 2 expected outputs for 2 h5ls runs depending if run on a big or little endian machine. Configure.in was modified to export a variable carrying endianess information to testh5ls.sh. This script then compares the current run with 2 expected outputs, one for a big-endian machine (linew was used to generate the output), other for little endian (jam was used to generate the output)
the way h5ls prints types, it starts searching for NATIVE types first. One solution would be h5ls not to detect these native types, using for example the same print datatype function that h5dump does, that would make the output look the same on all platforms ("32-bit little-endian integer" would be printed instead). Drawback, this "native" information would not be available. Other solution is to have not one but 2 expected outputs and make the shell script detect the endianess and compare with one output or other
tested: jam, linew
Description: Libtool wasn't working on linew because the script was
not working with the Solaris Bourne shell. Libtool has built-
in detection to ensure that it uses an appropriate shell,
but our config/commence.am was hard coding this shell to be
/bin/sh. Removing this line allows the shell to be picked up
by configure, thus allowing libtool to use the correct shell
on linew (bash). This was initially added to correct for a problem
on an old machine (janus), so shoudn't be needed for machines
we currently support.
Tested: full make check install on kagiso and linew, compile only
on smirom, duty, and liberty.
Description:
1) configure now sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH before checking for presence of
SZIP encoder, so user does not need to set this. The path is then
saved and sent to Makefiles, and used when "make check-install" is
invoked, so user doesn't need to set this manually.
2) Upgraded libtool to version 2.2.6a
3) Rearranged tools build order as h5dump depends on existence of h5diff
and h5import. Since h5dump is a sister directory as opposed to a parent
of either, it doesn't know about the build rules of these tools, so
setting any sort of explicit dependency confuses automake as it won't
know how to build the tools. Instead, setting CONFIG = ordered forces
an in-order traversal of each tools subdirectory. (without it will also
traverse in order by default, but this should prevent gmake's -j option
from jumping ahead as well). 'make check install' should now be able to
be invoked after 'configure' without causing a dependency failure.
4) Removed H5_HAVE_LARGE_HSIZET macro from vms/src/h5pubconf.h, as this macro
has now been out of the code for some time. (vms pubconf needs to be
updated manually, which is why it was still hanging around).
Tested: kagiso, smirom, liberty
Note: h5diff looks to be causing failures in h5copy and h5dump tools tests,
though these were present before any of my changes. My changes only
affect build order and configuration setup, and shouldn't prevent
fixes for these failures coming in after this checkin. Other than these,
tests pass fine.
Remove trailing whitespace from C/C++ source files, with the following
script:
foreach f (*.[ch] *.cpp)
sed 's/[[:blank:]]*$//' $f > sed.out && mv sed.out $f
end
Tested on:
Mac OS X/32 10.5.5 (amazon)
No need for h5committest, just whitespace changes...
Description:
The fortran Makefile.am used HDF_FORTRAN to indicate it is part of the
Fortran API source so that conclude.am will give fortran api prefix in the
test output. The symbox HDF_FORTRAN is also used in configure for a different
purpose (indicated --enable-fortran). They conflicted.
Similar problem for the symbol HDF_CXX.
Solution:
Changed all the involved Makefile.am to use "FORTRAN_API" instead. It is
a more appropriate name. Same for CXX_API.
Along the way, discovered that the Makefile.am of hl/fortran/test and
hl/cxx/test did not have those symbols at all. Added them in.
Platform tested:
Kagiso serial and h5committested (kagisopp, smirom, linew).
Improvement.
Description:
src/libhdf5.settings was the initial configure summary and is installed.
Then configure is changed to dump a summary of the configure settings to
the output and also append it to src/libhdf5.settings. That created
two different output formats and duplicated information. This is the
initial attempt to clean up this confusion and unify the output format.
It is decided to use the src/libhdf5.settings template as the unified means.
This requires more macros symbols be defined. The following symbols are
all related to generating the src/libhdf5.settings file.
AC_SUBST(EXTERNAL_FILTERS)
AC_SUBST(MPE) MPE=no
AC_SUBST(STATIC_EXEC) STATIC_EXEC=no
AC_SUBST(HDF_FORTRAN) HDF_FORTRAN=no
AC_SUBST(FC) HDF_FORTRAN=no
AC_SUBST(HDF_CXX) HDF_CXX=no
AC_SUBST(CXX) HDF_CXX=no
AC_SUBST(HDF5_HL) HDF5_HL=yes
AC_SUBST(GPFS) GPFS=no
AC_SUBST(LINUX_LFS) LINUX_LFS=no
AC_SUBST(INSTRUMENT) INSTRUMENT=no
AC_SUBST(CODESTACK) CODESTACK=no
AC_SUBST(HAVE_DMALLOC) HAVE_DMALLOC=no
AC_SUBST(DIRECT_VFD) DIRECT_VFD=no
AC_SUBST(THREADSAFE) THREADSAFE=no
AC_SUBST(STATIC_SHARED)
AC_SUBST(enable_shared)
AC_SUBST(enable_static)
AC_SUBST(UNAME_INFO) UNAME_INFO=`uname -a`
The src/libhdf5.settings.in has CONDITIONAL's added to it too. The
untrue conditions turned into a "#" and these lines are cleaned by the
post processing script.
Platform tested:
h5committest on kagiso, smirom and linew. (smirom had failures not due to
my changes.)
Description: Updated bin/reconfigure script to reflect the new versions of
libtool and automake in the /home1/packages/ directory.
Rearranged configure.in script. For some reason, when using
libtool 2.2, the libtool script doesn't generate until
later in the configuration process, so I had to move
a test that parsed through the libtool script to a point
after where it was actually being generated.
Ran libtoolize on the project, and ran bin/reconfigure to
regenerate configure and Makefile.in's throughout.
Tested: kagiso, smirom, linew, tg-login
Correct the prototype for H5Sselect_elements() to take an 'hsize_t *' for
the coordinates, instead of 'hsize_t **'.

Add work-around to allow reading files that were produced with a buggy
earlier version of the library, which could create objects with the wrong
object header message count. There is now a configure flag
"--enable-strict-format-checks" which triggers a failure on reading a file
with this sort of corruption (when enabled) and allows the object to be read
(when disabled). The default value for the "strict-format-checks" flag is
yes when the "debug" flag is enabled and no when the "debug" flag is disabled.
Note that if strict format checks are disabled (allowing objects with
this particular kind of corruption to be read) and the file is opened with
write access, the library will re-write the object header for the corrupt
object with the correct # of object header messages.
This closes bugzilla bug #1010.

Bug fix.
Description:
It used to clean out all *.h5 when done but this could cause a racing
condition error if parallel make (e.g., gmake -j ...) is used because
the "rm ... *.h5 ..." would remove *.h5 generaged and are still used
by other test programs (e.g. xx_write/xx_read).
Solution:
Removed "*.h5" from the cleanup list since the test program has already
taken care of removing temporary *.h5 generated.
Tested platform:
smirom. Not triple platforms tested since this is just a simple shell
script change.
2) Removing configuration of c++/src/H5cxx_pubconf.h file.
Reasoning: the additional pubconf file caused compilation complications, this is cleaner.
Tested: kagiso, smirom
Description: added new configuration to generate a pubconf file
in the c++/src directory, H5cxx_pubconf.h. When C++
compiler recognizes 'offsetof', the macro
H5_CXX_HAVE_OFFSETOF is defined in the new
pubconf file.
tested: kagiso, smirom
Description:
Bring the expected output for the C++ examples up-to-date. This file is used in the Windows test script. It is also used by ./c++/examples/testexamples.sh, although this script is never run by hand. 'make check' runs the script generated by testh5c++.sh.in, which doesn't use expected.out.
Tested:
VS6 on WinXP
kagiso
Description: a new configure flag has been created that will now set a macro
in the test/Makefile. The flag is with-default-vfd=. When set to
a virtual file driver (e.g. "--with-default-vfd=sec2"), the macro
DEFAULT_VFD will hold this value.
Tested: kagiso, smirom, linew
file size from MPI_File_get_size. Bypass this problem by replacing it with
stat. Add an option --disable-mpi-size in configure to indicate this function
doesn't work properly. Add a test in testpar/t_mpi.c, too. If it returns wrong
file size, print out a warning.
Tested on kagiso (parallel) because already tested the same change to v1.6 on
several platforms (kagiso, cobalt, copper, and sol).
The test scripts did not take in account that the binary has been installed
somewhere other than the original prefix. Added a provision to allow
explicit definition of $prefix to work.
Tested:
kagiso.
Most fortran compilers do not support the Preprocessing -E option. Removed
the tests for preprocessing only.
examples/testh5cc.sh.in:
c++/examples/testh5c++.sh.in:
Updated comments and some cosmetic rearrangement.
No substance changes.
Tested platform:
Copper, kagiso.
Description: Multiple copies of Copyright appeared in Makefile.in. This was
due to automake copying the copyright right in the included files such as
config/commence.am.
Solution: Automake treats double hashes as comments and does not copy them
to Makefile.in. Changed all the copyright notices in config/*.am to use
double hashes for the Copyright right notice.
Tested: kagiso via bin/reconfigure.
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.
The examples had been depending on the build libraries in src, but should have
been depending only on the installed h5cc. Fixed this.
Tested on kagiso (dependency change only, and was unable to replicate the
problem on any system). Real test will be Daily Tests tonight.
It seems that while Cygwin supports the time command, it has trouble with
the syntax
srcdir="../../hdf5/test" time ./testhdf5
and complains.
The solution is to test the above case in configure and not to use the time
command if it fails; Cygwin is fine with
srcdir="../../hdf5/test" ./testhdf5
Tested on Cygwin and kagiso. This feature shouldn't be a major compatibility
problem since every platform but Cygwin is already fine with the current
syntax.
The version of libtool used by HDF5 isn't directly affected by the reconfigure
script; instead, libtoolize --force must be used by hand. Libtool was the
source of the problem, so rolling its version back to 1.5.14 should solve the
issue (at least temporarily).
Reconfigure should still work on both heping and kagiso.
Tested on heping, kagiso, and tg-login3.
Should disable linking against shared libraries in Fortran for compilers that
don't support shared libraries.
Should also fix problem when the wrong Fortran file extension was specified.
If these changes don't solve the Daily Test issues, I'll look at backing out
the autotool version change until I have time to fix them.
Tested on heping, kagiso, juniper.
