configure.in that tried to distinguish different versions of AIX. This is no
longer needed.
Tested:
NCSA Blue-print. No h5committest since this affected AIX system only.
1. I added test cases for contiguous, compact, and chunked, and external storage datasets, and also attribute.
The test includes dataspace selections.
2. I added a test case of extending dataset of zero dimension size and shrinking back to zero dimension size.
3. I updated the Makefile to include the new data file to be cleaned up.
4. The dataspace code has another bug - when the maximal dimension isn't passed in for H5Sset_extent_simple, it
is supposed to be same as the dimension. The current library sets NULL to it. I corrected it and added a
test case to it.
5. I corrected the tests of Fortran and C++ for the problem in point 3.
Tested on jam, heiwa, and amani.
a) Add comments to test_4() in test/external.c about the name "/ link".
b) Fix one memory leak in src/H5Lexternal.c: free memory pointed to by tmp_env_prefix for HDF5_EXT_PREFIX case.
3. Made changes for bug #1930 as in rev #19783, #19781 in trunk.
4. Made corresponding CMake changes as in rev #19782 in trunk.
Add "--enable-unsupported" configure flag.
Description
The "--enable-unsupported" configure flag allows a user to
prevent configure from failing due to the use of incompatible
options, such as c++ with parallel.
Specifying --enable-unsupported will bypass all of configure's
checks for incompatible and unsupported combinations of flags.
There are no guarantees that the library will be configured
in any sort of working condition, but that's the risk of
using the --enable-unsupported flag.
I've changed all default error messages related to unsupported
option combinations to indicate that using --enable-unsupported
will allow configure to complete without error.
Tested:
by hand on jam, tested all unsupported configure option
combinations with and without the new flag, making sure
the flag allows configure to finish without error.
(h5committest wouldn't do any good here; it won't test
the new option, and since we're enabling unsupported
combinations, failures are likely to occur in build or
tests with --enable-unsupported turned on anyways.
That's why they're unsupported!)
double to (unsigned) long and from (unsigned) long to long double. I added tests in configure.in
to detect these algorithms. Before I can figure out them, I disable the tests in dt_arith.c.
Tested on jam, heiwa, amani, IBM Power6 Linux machine in Holland (huygens.sara.nl).
Description:
In an AIX 6.1 system, configure --enable-shared could not build a shared
HDF5 library. The problem was because the version of config.guess was too
old to recongnize AIX 6.X and also configure.in had a local fix which did
not recognize AIX 6.X.
Solution:
1. Mike McGreevy updated bin/config.guess to handle AIX 6.X.
2 Albert fixed configure.in to recognize AIX 6.X.
Note that though HDF5 can build shared lib for AIX 6.X systems
but it still could not install the proper library as in AIX 5.X
systems. Also, bin/config.sub should be updated too.
Tested: BP which is the AIX 6.1 system that exposed this problem.
has been removed. According to the official description of DESTDIR by Gnu at
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html, DESTDIR is
prepended to the normal and complete install path that it precedes for the
purpose of installing in a temporary directory which is useful for building
rpms and other packages. The '/' after ${DESTDIR} will be followed by another
'/' at the beginning of the normal install path. When DESTDIR is empty the
path then begins with '//', which is incorrect and causes problems at least for
Cygwin.
The change made in config/commence.am affects many Makefile.*s when bin/reconfigure
is run. EXAMPLEDIRs had to be corrected individually.
Also the scripts to run examples after they are installed have checks added to see
that the fortran and c++ directories are present before trying to run the scripts
in them.
Tested with h5committest on amani, heiwa and jam.
Tested with h5committest on amani, jam, and heiwa, and on linew.

fseek64 was used to support large file access for the STDIO driver back in
version 1.2.2 in year 2000. Some how it was not included in version 1.4.0.
Now, fseeko64 is used to support large file. There is no more need for fseek64
which is not a standard call. Removed its presence from configure and related
files.
Tested: jam for configure only.
In some machine (Linux), when --disable-largefile is used, it claims it has
fseeko64 but off64_t is NOT supported. Moved the test of fseeko64 and ftello64
to where fseek64 is so that they are tested only if off64_t is supported.
Tested: h5committested.
Bring r19124 from trunk to 1.8 branch:
Add some error checking to the process of creating superblock extension.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 6.3 (duty) in debug mode
(h5committest performed on trunk)
Description:
A bug introduced in 1.8.5 causes local heap data blocks to be mis-aligned when
sizeof_offsets + 2*sizeof_lengths is not a multiple of 8. In this case, the
address of the data block as stored in the heap prefix is aligned but the actual
data block is not. This causes files created with these sizes to be corrupted,
and prevents uncorrupted files with these sizes to be unreadable. Modified
local heap code to account for alignment.
Tested: jam, amani, linew (h5committest)
Removed the recognition of parallel compilers of LAM (hcc) and ChMPIon (cmpicc)
since we have no access to these two MPI implementations and decided not to
support them any more.
Test: Jam using parallel tests:
1. use CC=mpicc and confirmed it is recognized as a parallel compiler;
2. use CC=hcc and confirmed it is NOT recognized as a parallel compiler
any more.
PHDF5 changed to use "mpiexec", instead of mpirun, as the default MPI
applications startup command as defined in the MPI-2 definition, section
4.1. Note that only mpich related (using mpicc command) definitions are
changed to mpiexec. Other favors like hcc, AIX, champion, are not changed
since I don't have a way to verify them yet.
Tested:
jam and amani, using both current and new mpich.
Did not h5committested since this affects PHDF5 configure only.
Fixed a bug (1822) in the H5DSdetach_scale function when 0 bytes
were allocated after the last reference to a dim. scale
was removed from the list of references in a VL element of the
DIMENSION_LIST attribute; modified the function to comply
with the Spec: DIMENSION_LIST attribute is deleted now when no
dimension scales left attached.
Platforms tested: jam with electric fence, amani amd linew
Bring r18725 from trunk to 1.8 branch:
Bring r18724 from metadata journaling 'merging' branch to trunk:
Rename H5[A]C_rename to H5[A]C_move_entry.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 6.3 (duty) w/debug
(h5committested on trunk)
Improve configure's large-file support control.
Description:
Modified configure to now attempt to add defines necessary for
supporting largefiles on all systems, instead of solely on linux. This
is in response to user requests to enable largefile support on Solaris
by default, as well as to give extra control on AIX (instead of just
jamming the necessary flag into the config files).
The old --enable-linux-lfs flag is being deprecated in favor of the
--enable-largefile flag (enabled by default), which can be used on all
platforms. --disable-linux-lfs can still be used to disable largefile
support (on linux) when the --enable-largefile flag is not specified.
On systems where large files cannot be supported in this manner,
configure will report as such.
Tested:
h5committest
AIX (NCSA's blue_print machine)
duty, liberty, and linew.
the data conversion test from unsigned long long to long double. The GCC on Cygwin seems to
have rounding problem when doing conversion from unsigned long long to long double (Please bug
#1813).
Tested on jam. I'll test it on Cygwin after this checkin.
Description:
longjmp do not necessary restore signal that is blocked during the signal
handling. This caused the Alignment test to fail quietly, resulting in wrong
alignment information which will cause failures later.
Solution:
One can use sigsetjmp/siglongjmp to restore signal handling but not all systems
such as Cray XT or VMS supports sigsetjmp. Backup solution is to use
sigprocmask to reset the signal. Again, some systems may not support it either.
Added code to try the first and then the second solution. Also added tests
to verify if the signal_handler routines are working properly. Finally, added
code to print results of the verification (in form of comments) to H5Tinit.c
for inspection in case of failure.
(Note that many platforms do not have alignment limits at all and ALIGNMNET
code never raise the SIGBUS or SIGSEGV errors. In those cases, it does not
matter whether the signal handlers work or not. Again, this can be deduced
from the results comments near the end of the H5Tinit.c. If the sum of signal
handlers called equals the total of verify, it means ALIGNMENT does not raise
any signals.)
Tested: htcommittested (linew is not accessible), jam(serial), Redstorm.
