Code cleanup (sorta)
Description:
When the first versions of the HDF5 library were designed, I remembered
vividly the difficulties of porting code from a 32-bit platform to a 16-bit
platform and asked that people use intn & uintn instead of int & unsigned
int, respectively. However, in hindsight, this was overkill and
unnecessary since we weren't going to be porting the HDF5 library to
16-bit architectures.
Currently, the extra uintn & intn typedefs are causing problems for users
who'd like to include both the HDF5 and HDF4 header files in one source
module (like Kent's h4toh5 library).
(Merged from the same changes to development branch)
Solution:
Changed the uintn & intn's to unsigned and int's respectively.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Code Update
Description:
Ported change from the 1.5 branch to the 1.4 branch where all HDF5
include files are in quotes instead of angle brackets:
#include "hdf5_file.h"
instead of
#include <hdf5_file.h>
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug fix (sort of)
Description:
The RCSID string in H5public.h was causing the C++ code problem as it
was included multiple times and C++ did not like multiple definitions
of the same static variable.
Solution:
Since we don't really make use of the RCSID strings as we have not
installed it in all source files, we decided to remove it.
Platforms tested:
eirene (linux), modi4 (IRIX64-64) both serial and parallel modes.
Code cleanup.
Description:
Fixed _lots_ (I mean _tons_) of warnings spit out by the gcc with the
extra warnings. Including a few show-stoppers for compression on IRIX
machines.
Solution:
Changed lots of variables' types to more sensible and consistent types,
more range-checking, more variable typecasts, etc.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.2 (hawkwind), IRIX64-64 (modi4)
Additional test
Description:
Exercise reading background buffer from file when reading only one field
from a compound datatype which has array fields.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.2 (hawkwind)
Backward compatibility code
Description:
Add in code to allow the library to emulate the v1.2 API and behavior.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.2 (hawkwind)
Backward compatibility additions
Description:
Test HDF5 v1.2 compatibility API functions (H5Tget_member_dims &
H5Tinsert_array) when they are built into the library.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
New Feature
Description:
Added array datatype tests to the regression tests. These datatype
combinations are tested currently:
1-D array of atomic datatypes
3-D array of atomic datatypes
array of array of atomic datatypes
array of compound of atomic datatypes
array of compound of array datatypes
array of VL of atomic datatypes
array of VL of array datatypes
Also added a test to verify that the older style compound datatype with
array fields works correctly.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
