Bring revision 16278 back from revise_chunks branch:
Update layout information in DCPL to unify all information in one
underlying property and switch to using H5O_layout_t for storing it, which
simplifies things considerably.
Also, fix many compiler warnings.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 6.3 (duty) in debug mode
(Original patch tested on many machines)
Tested platform:
Kagiso only since it is only a comment block change. If it works in one
machine, it should work in all, I hope. Still need to check the parallel
build on copper.
Code cleanup
Description:
Trim trailing whitespace in Makefile.am and C/C++ source files to make
diffing changes easier.
Platforms tested:
None necessary, whitespace only change
New feature
Description:
Check in baseline for compact group revisions, which radically revises the
source code for managing groups and object headers.

This initiates the "unstable" phase of the 1.7.x branch, leading up
to the 1.8.0 release. Please test this code, but do _NOT_ keep files created
with it - the format will change again before the release and you will not
be able to read your old files!!!

Solution:
There's too many changes to really describe them all, but some of them
include:
- Stop abusing the H5G_entry_t structure and split it into two separate
structures for non-symbol table node use within the library: H5O_loc_t
for object locations in a file and H5G_name_t to store the path to
an opened object. H5G_entry_t is now only used for storing symbol
table entries on disk.
- Retire H5G_namei() in favor of a more general mechanism for traversing
group paths and issuing callbacks on objects located. This gets us out
of the business of hacking H5G_namei() for new features, generally.
- Revised H5O* routines to take a H5O_loc_t instead of H5G_entry_t
- Lots more...
Platforms tested:
h5committested and maybe another dozen configurations.... :-)
Bug fix
Description:
Check in Kent's fixes to hyperslab rebuilding code that should correctly
detect situation when different sub-hyperslabs exist in a higher dimension.
Solution:
Remember previous sub-hyperslab information and compare that with newly
generated sub-hyperslab to make certain they are the same.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
Description: Removed PABLO from the source
Solution:
Platforms tested: arabica with 64-bit, copper with parallel,
heping with GNU C and C++ and PGI fortran (but
I disabled hl, there is some weird problem only
on heping: F9XMODFLAG is not
propagated to the Makefile files
Misc. update:
Code cleanup & minor optimization
Description:
Re-work the way interface initialization routines are specified in the
library to avoid the overhead of checking for them in routines where there is
no interface initialization routine. This cleans up warnings with gcc 3.4,
reduces the library binary size a bit (about 2-3%) and should speedup the
library's execution slightly.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/gcc34
h5committest
