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:
Bug fix
Description:
Variable length strings and sequences with NULL pointers were not handled
by library, causing problems access the data. This also affected fill values
for variable-length datatypes.
Solution:
Address the issues in the library by detecting NULL sequences/strings
and avoid trying to convert them.
Patched up dumper to display NULL sequences/strings.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Bug fixes and code cleanup
Description:
Changes to h5dump code:
- Dump shared datatypes for any class of datatype, not just compound
datatypes.
- Cleaned up formatting to greatly reduce the amount of trailing
whitespace emitted in output. Also removed some spurious blank
lines from named datatype output.
Added code to generate named datatype attribute test file.
Added tests for dumping named datatypes in attributes for both DDL and
XML output.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Code cleanup
Description:
Remove various "fixtype" routines which duplicate (and actually pre-date)
the functionality in H5Tget_native_type in favor of having the tools call
H5Tget_native_type(). This provides the same functionality (actually better
functionality, since the old "fixtype" routines didn't handle alignment of
compound fields correctly) and reduces the amount of code to maintain.
Add additional tests to dump out a "complex" compound datatype which
exercises more code in the library for aligning compound fields correctly.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir)

This is an omibus update to the h5dump program.
