HDFFV-7693 - h5diff produces different behavior between versions: 1.8.3 and 1.8.6
Description:
There were two issues on this.
One was not displaying all the comparable objects if non-comparable
object/attribute exist and compared before comparables ones. This issue
occurred after 1.8.4 release. This is the issue from user.
The other issue was not displaying all the comparable attributes,
if non-comparable object/attribute exist and compared ahead. This issue
were exist even before 1.8.4 release. So it's possible some attribute
comparison may have not displayed correctly in the past, if non-comparable
data were exist in common object.
Fixed h5diff to display all the comparable object and attribute regardless
of non-comparables.
Merged from HDF5 trunk r21396 and r21397.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), heiwa (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), linew (solaris-BE), Cmake (jam, Windows)
Merged from HDF5 trunk r21237.
Add test cases for HDFFV-7656 - "--delta=something" considers two NaN of the same type are different.
The fix was added (r21105) before but test cases were incorrectly added and missing for cmake script.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), tejeda (mac32-LE), cmake (jam)
Merged from HDF5 trunk r21105
Fixed two bugs:
- h5repack: h5repack failed to copy dataset if the layout is changed from c
hunked with unlimited dims to contiguous. (PC -- 2011/07/15)
- h5diff: "--delta" option considers two NaN of the same type are different
, which is wrong based on http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/RM/Tools.html#Tools-Diff. (PC -- 2011/07/15)

Work for HDFFV-7600 - GMQS: h5diff - argument options -d, -p and --use-system-epsilon should be mutually exclusive.
Description:
Merge from HDF5 trunk r21072.

- HDFFV-5928 - GMQS: h5diff problem and improvement on comparsing the same objects
Description:
Merged from HDF5 trunk r20676.
Fixed:
1) adding h5tools_is_obj_same() function to check if two given IDs or paths point to the same object. This function can be very useful for other tools and applications.
2) using h5tools_is_obj_same() at h5diff() and diff() in h5diff.c. If two paths point to the same object, there is no need to check the details of the object since we know there is no difference. The fix will increase the performance by skipping the content comparison. It also fixed the problem of reporting difference for some cases of comparing the same file, e.g. empty files or files with incomparable objects the same file.
Test update:
Updat prvious test cases (171, 172, 530) affected by this fix, so they
still perfrom originally intended testing without bypassing.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), heiwa (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), linew (solaris-BE), cmake
Fixed Bug 2184 - GMQS: h5diff - incorrect calculation code for
--use-system-epsilon option
Description:
Fixed h5diff for --use-system-epsilon option: the calculation changed
from ( |a - b| / b ) to ( |a - b| ). This was decided for better
performance and was corrected only in HDF5 trunk, so 1.8 got updated.
Also comments for equal_XXX() function were updated correctly.
Also help page and RM got updated correctly.
Also add test cases for testing the differences w/wo the option.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), amani (linux64-LE), heiwa (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), linew (solaris-BE), Windows (32-LE)
Fixed CHICAGO: Bug 2121 - h5diff - incorrect and lack of output for the
different set of attributes (different number and names)
Description:
Merged from HDF5 trunk r20334.
This is related to previous checkin r20299.
Add help page update for verbose option level feature, which displays
useful information about attribute difference with -v1, --verbose=1 -v2
or --verbose=2 option.

Fixed CHICAGO: Bug 2121 - h5diff - incorrect and lack of output for the
different set of attributes (different number and names)
Description:
Merged from HDF5 trunk r20294
Previously h5diff compared attributes correctly only when two objects have
the same number of attributes and attribute names are identical.
Also didn't display useful information about attribute difference.
This fix covers all other cases.
This fixes both issues.

Bug 2089 - GMQS: h5diff segfault on a compound dataset with fixed length +
vlen string type order
Description:
Merged from HDF5 trunk r19892.
This is fix for the segfault when h5diff compares a compound dataset with
combination of fixed length string types and vlen string types in certain
orders. Optimized vlariable length string handling codes. The fix is
referred from h5dump handling vlen strings.
For testing, several compound datasets were added with various combinations.
Previous failed cases:
- Vlen string, Fixed length string, Vlen string, Fixed length string
- Fixed length string, Fixed length string, Vlen string, Vlen string
- Fixed length string, Vlen string, Fixed length string, Vlen string
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), amani (linux64-LE), heiwa (linuxppc64-BE), linew (solaris-BE)
Fixed h5diff to handle variable-length strings in a compound dataset
correctly. Also variable-length string array in a compound dataset.
Bug #1989.
Description:
Garbage values were displayed when h5diff compared variable-length
strings (or string array) in a compound type dataset.

Additional fix relted to the fix of bug1672.
Description:
The fix of bug1672 caused some changes of output which required modifying
some test cases. After some discussion, restoring the changes of the test
cases was decided. After many experiments for the solution, this fix was
made so the code which improved performance can stay.
Tested on Jam.
Fix Bug1672 - Display garbage value on LE machine for BE data.
Description:
Casuing by calling diff_dataset twice when -r or no option was given.
Change to call it once which fix the problem.
It also improves the performance. (diffing time in half)
According further test, it also occurred on BE machine as well and it
seems occruing only with the BE data attached to Bugzilla.
Don't know how the file was created. Anyway this fix will prevent
from diffing with garbage values in similiar potential case.

1. #1501 (B1) tools bug if dataset is larger than H5TOOLS_BUFSIZE limit.
ISSUE : the tools use the following formula to read by hyperslabs: hyperslab_size[i] = MIN( dim_size[i], H5TOOLS_BUFSIZE / datum_size) where H5TOOLS_BUFSIZE is a constant defined of 1024K. This is OK as long as the datum_size does not exceed 1024K, otherwise we have a hyperslab size of 0 (since 1024K/(greater than 1024K) = 0). This affects h5dump. h5repack, h5diff
SOLUTION: add a check for a 0 size and define as 1 if so.
TEST FOR H5DUMP: Defined a case in the h5dump test generator program of such a type (an array type of doubles with a large array dimension, that was the case the user reported). Since the written file commited in svn would be around 1024K, opted for not writing the data (the part of the code where the hyperslab is defined is executed, since h5dump always reads the files). Defined a macro WRITE_ARRAY to enable such writing if needed. Added a run on the h5dump shell script. Added 2 new files to svn: tools/testfiles/tarray8.ddl, tools/testfiles/tarray8.h5. NOTE: while doing this I thought of adding this dataset case to an existing file, but that would add the large array output to those files (the ddls). The issue is that the file list is increasing.
TEST FOR H5DIFF: for h5diff the check for reading by hyperslabs is H5TOOLS_MALLOCSIZE (128 * H5TOOLS_BUFSIZE) or 128 Mb. This makes it not possible to add such a file to svn, so used the same method as h5dump (only write the dataset if WRITE_ARRAY is defined). As opposed to h5dump, the hyperslab code is NOT executed when the dataset is empty (dataset is not read). Added the new dataset to existing files and shell run (tools/h5diff/testfiles/h5diff_dset1.h5 and tools/h5diff/testfiles/h5diff_dset2.h5 and output in tools/h5diff/testfiles/h5diff_80.txt).
TEST FOR H5REPACK: similar issue as h5diff with the difference that the hyperslab code is run. Added a run to the shell script (with a filter, otherwise the code uses H5Ocopy).
FURTHER ISSUES: the type in question ("double") has a different output cross platforms (e.g on liberty some garbage number is printed at some array locations)
SOLUTION: defined an "int" type for this test. However the printing of such an array has a bogus output at least in one platform (FreeBsd), so eliminated the test run altogether and filed a bug report on this
Bug fix: for compound types, the not comparable test for members was not done
Solution: for compound types, recursively apply that check
Two new cases are added
1) the compound type has a different number of members. Message printed is
<obj1> has X members <obj2> has Y members
Where X and Y are the number of members of each compound type being compared
2) the compound type has not comparable types (for example a double and an int at the same index)
In this case the message
Comparison not possible: object1 is of class1 and object2 is of class2
Is replaced with
Comparison not possible: object1 has a class1 and object2 has a class2
Modified the test generator program to have these 2 cases
Added a shell run for these 2 cases
Tested: h5committest
bug fix
a new line was not inserted at the end of output, causing diff to complain between linux and frebsd
tested: linux (freebsd tested on the trunk)
#1368 (E1) h5diff: implement "not comparable" messages. Implemented RFC. The new option is <-c, --compare List objects that are not comparable>
added some test cases
tested: windows, linux
Added an option to avoid dealing with NaNs
-N, --nan Avoid NaNs detection
Note: there is no shell script run for datasets with NaN because the output is non portable (different results and NaN strings for different systems)
Tested: windows, linux
Bug fix
PG compiler complains about array out of bounds (a rank of zero was not checked)
Adding a scalar dataset to the test generator program. this case is run on a previous existing run, the case was added to 2 existing files
Tested: windows, linux
