changes of input/ output format
Description:
on web page /RFC/h5diff
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Windows 2000 (octopus)
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
changed algorythm
Description:
changed the array_diff function to increment the read buffer with a size selected
by an appropriate native data type.
previously it was assumed, e.g. int size = 4 bytes
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica, 64bit mode)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
datasets with different storage datatypes where not read to memory to same size types
Solution:
obtain the memory type and size, for the TWO datasets ,
with the "fixtype" function
"upgrade" the smaller size to the larger if they are different
added H5DIFF_DEBUG flag for print information
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica, 64bit mode)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
added new test files for h5diff
bug fix
Description:
the criteria for determining the correct switch case cast to void* to type* was the data size read from disk.
this was causing problems on Cray T3E, where all integer except char are 8 bytes long
Solution:
changed the criteria for using the memory size instead, which is determined by the same function
that reads the data into memory
the messages " using memory NATIVE_TYPE_X" were removed, because they might not coincid on different
platforms.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
new feature
Description:
during the sequencial match list, by default the differences between matched datasets were printed.
added an -m option that allows to turn this off, just printing the file differences
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
added more tests, described in the test matrix
Description:
test -r
test -l
expanded -d, -p and -n tests
test different types to include links and named types
test for non supported classes, e.g bitfield, opaque , etc
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
added some niceties and utilities, and more tests
Description:
some niceties: more error messages on cases of bad input
utilities: some functions to more human readable output
more tests: described in the test matrix
Platforms tested:
Linux/rockaway(C)
SunOS/arabica (C)
SGI/modi4 (C)
added test script for h5diff
code cleaning for alpha release
makefile now generates the h5difftst.c program that generates 2 .h5 files for testing
Description:
the .sh script runs several runs of h5diff and compares the output
with a predifined output located in /tools/testfiles (.txt files)
righ now it has only one test
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux (other platforms later , ok !? )
