Changes since 19990611
----------------------
./doc/html/H5.format.html
Added documentation for opaque data types (bitfield types were
already documented but they were out of order).
./src/H5E.c
Fixed a bug with glibc2 on linux systems where `stdout' is an
extern and can't be used to initialize static data.
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tpkg.h
./src/H5Tpublic.h
./src/H5detect.c
Removed the `_T' from the new C9x types I just added so the
names are consistent with existing types. Besides, the fact
that something is a datatype is obvious because it starts with
H5T_NATIVE_.
./tools/h5ls.c
Added the new C9x data types. H5ls prints one of these types
only if it doesn't match one of the builtin C types.
Prints the OID for shared data types.
Fixed a formatting bug with symbolic links which was
introduced a few changes ago.
The commandline has been changed so that objects from multiple
files can be listed with a single command. Instead of
specifying a file name and an optional list of objects, each
thing to print is a file name and object concatenated. H5ls
figures out how to devide the name into a file name and object
name even when the file name part doesn't correspond to an
actual Unix file.
Old syntax: h5ls [OPTIONS] FILE [OBJECTS]
New syntax: h5ls [OPTIONS] FILE[/OBJECT] [FILE[/OBJECT]]...
Example ({X,Y} is expanded by the shell)
Old command: h5ls -d ../test/x.data dir1 dir2
New command: h5ls -d ../test/x.data/{dir1,dir2}
The filename is printed as part of the object name when full
names are requested (--full or --recursive). If people really
don't like this they can undefine a constant at the top of
h5ls.
Errors from the hdf5 library are turned off.
Commandline switches of the form `--width 80' are accepted in
addition to `--width=80'. This is more symmetric with
single-letter switches that take two forms: `-w 80' and
`-w80'.
./src/H5D.c
Added tracing instrumentation for H5Dvlen_reclaim().
./src/H5private.h
Added casts to int for the isalpha() et al macros to shut up
solaris warnings about char subscripts.
----------------------
./doc/html/Datatypes.html
./test/dtypes.c
Added documentation and tests for opaque types.
./tools/h5ls.c
Added a `-x' or `--hexdump' argument which is not fully
implemented (because I want to synchronize h5tools.c first)
but which will eventually print raw data in hexadecimal format
without any translation from disk. This would be useful for
debugging references and VL types.
./tools/h5tools.c
Added support for references (not quite finished yet, but
compiles -- I wanted to sync up this file before Patrick and I
got too far apart...)
./src/H5R.c
Checked for error return value from H5R_get_object_type()
./src/H5A.c
./src/H5D.c
Changed error return values from NULL to FAIL
./test/Makefile.in
./test/trefer.c
Creates trefer1.h5 and trefer2.h5 so that the second test
doesn't clobber the first file since the files might be useful
for debugging.
----------------------
Remove changes from CVS
./bin/release
Added a `--nocheck' switch which causes the script to not
check the contents of the MANIFEST file against CVS. This is
sometimes useful when you need to make a quick snapshot but
the MANIFEST file is not quite up to date.
./src/H5D.c
Removed warnings for unused variables
./src/H5Fprivate.h
Removed the WIN32 definition for `uint' and changed the data
type for `eof_written' from `uint' to `uintn'. Shouldn't this
really be `hbool_t'?
./src/H5Odtype.c
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tconv.c
./src/H5Tpkg.h
./src/H5Tpublic.h
./test/dtypes.c
./doc/html/H5.format.html
Added support for bitfields and opaque data types.
DatatypesEnum.html
EnumMap.gif
Added enumeration datatypes -- First pass, only minimal editing.
Intro paragraph in Datatypes.html; details in DatatypesEnum.html.
EnumMap.gif is a figure for DatatypesEnum.html.
Tools.html
Added new h5toh4 supported object and data type.
H5.intro.html
Corrected transposed "start coordinates" in Example 1.
