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.
Merge from trunk
Description:
Merged revisions 17228 and 17440 from trunk to 1.8
Specifically, this brings support of --enable-static-exec flag into 1.8
Tested:
Manually on jam, linew, smirom, liberty, plus h5committest.
Currently, there is no automatic regression test that exists due to
portability issues. Behavior is both different and undefined on certain
systems (and while 'nm' command seems to exist on all machines, behavior
is confirmed to be different on Mac, possibly others). Solution will be
to set up some sort of framework in daily tests to build statically,
remove shared paths, and verify executables can function.
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
Configuration feature
Description:
'make install' now tests both static and shared libraries if both are installed.
Solution:
Previously, shared libraries were only tested when static libraries were not installed.
Also cleaned up line in commence.am that was including HL library in all Makefiles.
Platforms tested:
mir (Makefile change only)
new feature
Description:
1) separated the HL library into "public" and "private" header files, with the same caracteristics as the basic library
2) added the public headers to hdf5.h (with a conditional include macro, defined in configure.in)
3) added the path to HL in all Makefile.am 's , because of the inclusion in hdf5.h
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux 32, 64
AIX
solaris
with fortran and c++
(one packet table example fails)
Misc. update:
Bug fixes
Description:
This checkin fixes an occasional error on kelgia on sol during distclean.
It also causes test scripts to depend properly on the programs they're
supposed to be testing.
Solution:
The kelgia bug was due to some files being cleaned by automake and manually.
Removed the manual cleaning in src/Makefile.am.
Test script dependencies now need to be specified manually, since the
makefile can't guess what they test from their name. Currently all test
scripts in a given directory have a single list of dependencies--this was
easy and seems to be sufficient.
These dependencies are listed in the SCRIPT_DEPEND variable in the Makefile.am.
Platforms tested:
heping, mir, modi4, sol
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Arabica exhibited strange errors when linker found wrong versions of
header files. This happened because include directories were
given to linker in the wrong order.
Solution:
Move include directories from AM_CFLAGS variable to INCLUDES
variable to put them before CPPFLAGS variable. Trust me, it works.
This bug may also have contributed to strange errors on other platforms
(kelgia?).
Platforms tested:
copper, sleipnir, arabica.
(h5dump broke while building on arabica, but this happened in
a clean checkout, too).
Configuration feature
Description:
HDF5 now uses automake to generate Makefiles
Solution:
Makefile.in files are now generated from Makefile.am files.
To reconfigure (after chaning a Makefile.am or configure.in):
/bin/sh bin/reconfigure.sh
Platforms tested:
Many
