Updating autotools
Description:
Bring revisions 17345 and 17357 from trunk to 1.8, specifically:
- Automake upgraded to 1.11
- Autoconf upgraded to 2.64
- bin/reconfigure script edited to use new versions (on jam), and
run to generate new configure script and Makefile.in's.
- configure.in script edited to add "_cv_" to all AC_CACHE_VAL strings
(in order to comply with new autoconf standard).
- bin/install-sh script replaced with new version as provided
by automake.
Tested:
- All issues on trunk were resolved, so only tested on jam and linew. Any
other outliers should be caught by daily tests.
configure.in. The Pathscale compiler on Sandia's Linux machine misinterprets the values of
unsigned long as negative during the conversion to float, when the first bit of unsigned long
is on.
Tested on jam. Need to test it on Sandia's machine.
Bring revision 17019 from trunk to 1.8 branch:
Break out the configure check for fseeko & ftello from lseek64/fseek64/
ftruncate64, since the check for the latter routines is not a valid check for
the former routines.
Tested on:
(h5committested on trunk)

Embed the content of libhdf5.settings into the hdf5 executables so that an
"orphaned" executables can display (via the Unix strings command, for example)
the library settings used to build the executables.
This is a prototype implementation. Much improvement is needed.
configure.in:
Added the --disable-embedded-libinfo option to disable this feature.
configure:
src/H5config.h.in:
Generated by autotools like automake.
src/H5detect.c:
Implement insert_libhdf5_settings() to insert the contents of
libhdf5.settings into the library as an extern string variable so that it
is included in all HDF5 executable. Much improvement is needed.
fortran/src/Makefile.in:
Auto-generated by bin/reconfigure. (i.e., I did make any changes to cause
its direct regeneration).
Tested:
Jam serial, using default and --disable-embedded-libinfo, configure options.
- Updated bin/reconfigure to use latest version of automake (1.10.2).
Regenerated Makefile.in's by running bin/reconfigure.
- Added libtool version numbers to c++, fortran, hl, hl c++, and hl fortran
libraries.
Tested:
jam, liberty, smirom
Description:
Versions of the library between 1.3.0 and 1.6.3 have a bug which prevents them
from opening any file that does not have the root group's symbol table
information cached in the root group's entry in the superblock. Prior to 1.8
this was not an issue as this information was always cached. However, 1.8.0
stopped writing this information (which is not required by the file format
specification), and these older versions can therefore not read files created or
last written by versions 1.8.0 to 1.8.2. This fix modifies the library to once
again add this information to the superblock (when using the old file format).
Tested: jam, linew, smirom (h5committest)
Bug Fix
Description:
Fixing BZ #1381. The --includedir=DIR configure option, which is used to
spceify installation location of C header files, did not work correctly as
the path was hard-coded into config/commence.am. I'm presuming this is
because an older version of automake didn't know where to put C header
files. In any case, removing this line now defaults the includedir to the
same directory that it is currently hard-coded to, and also fixes the
configure flag which allows for customization of this value.
Tested:
jam, liberty
Bug Fix
Description:
Removing the code from configure which strips the '-g' flag from CFLAGS
when in production mode. The current default CFLAGS in production mode
does not include '-g', as intended, but we should allow users to
override this and enable '-g' by setting the CFLAGS environment
variable if desired. Note that this applies to FCFLAGS and CXXFLAGS
as well.
Tested:
kagiso, linew, liberty
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
Bring r16306 back from trunk:
Add detection of C99 "designated initializers" to configure script and
use new H5_HAVE_C99_DESIGNATED_INITIALIZER macro to conditionally compile
default layout variables in src/H5Pdcpl.c
Also, minor code cleanups, etc.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 6.3 (duty) in debug mode
(Other platforms tested on revise_chunks branch)
Bug Fix
Description:
Resolved issues with broken sanity checks that were failing when the 'b2'
debugging package was enabled (v2 b-tree debugging):
- Fixed outdated assertions that would not compile. They now compile
and function correctly.
- Removed too far outdated assertions that would require too much
unnecessary refactoring of code in order to satisfy their
initial purpose.
- Re-enabled b2 debugging package when "--enable-debug=all" is
specified on the configure line.
Tested:
jam, smirom, linew
Description: Adding the SZIP path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH within configure was
inadvertently blowing away anything already in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This
fixes that, which solves, among other things, the problem where
configure failed to learn how to print 'long long' on cobalt.
Tested: full make check install: kagiso, smirom
configure / make / h5ls test only : cobalt, linew
