Description: insert method didn't work for VMS.
Solution: Used append methos to form the string; this may become the change
for all platforms after more testing
Platforms tested: heping, VMS server
Misc. update:
Description:
There was a workaround for predefined types, in the C++ library,
implemented when the C++ library was handling the reference
counting of the object ids on its own. Currently, the C++ library
is using the available APIs from the C library for that purpose,
and there were bugs reported involving that part of the C++ library.
So, I decided to remove the workaround completely.
Also, improved the use of std members.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (heping)
SunOS 5.8 64-bit (sol)
Linux 2.4 w/PGI (colonelk)
Code cleanup
Description:
Trim trailing whitespace, which is making 'diff'ing the two branches
difficult.
Solution:
Ran this script in each directory:
foreach f (*.[ch] *.cpp)
sed 's/[[:blank:]]*$//' $f > sed.out && mv sed.out $f
end
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
Description:
Added wrapper for H5Iget_type.
Added try/catch to many APIs that call private functions so that more
specific information can be provided at failure.
Added IdComponent::inMemFunc to help providing specific info.
Added const to parameters of several functions that missed that.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (heping)
SunOS 5.8 64-bit (sol)
AIX 5.1 (copper)
IRIX64 with -n32 (modi4)
HPUX 11.00 (kelgia)
Description:
The use of FileCreatPropList::DEFAULT sometimes caused failure
in the reference counting area. This occurs to all the default
property lists, which also include FileAccPropList::DEFAULT,
DSetCreatPropList::DEFAULT, and DSetMemXferPropList::DEFAULT.
H5P_DEFAULT was used to create these default prop lists and
because its value is 0, the id of these prop lists are 0, which
is rejected by the H5I functions during the reference counting.
Solution:
The main action to fix the above problem was to use
H5P_FILE_CREATE
H5P_FILE_ACCESS
H5P_DATASET_CREATE
H5P_DATASET_XFER
to define the default property lists accordingly. Yet, when this
fix was applied, some bug in reference counting was revealed.
It appeared that some ids were not incremented but were passed in
for decrementing. The following actions were then taken to fix and
improve the current use of reference counting H5I functions.
* added private func IdComponent::p_valid_id to verify that the
id is a valid id and can be passed into an H5I function
* used p_valid_id to validate an id before calling an H5I functions
in the reference-counting member functions incRefCount,
decRefCount, and getCounter
* changed to use member function incRefCount, decRefCount, and
getCounter instead of the C APIs H5Iinc_ref, H5Idec_ref, and
H5Iget_ref throughout IdComponent.
In addition, overloadings were added for incRefCount, decRefCount,
and getCounter to take an id different than the id of the current
instance; they can be convenient during debugging.

Description:
Doxygen 1.4.2 has a bug that when an \exception immediately
follows a \brief, the exception will be displayed prominently
in the brief section.
Solution:
Temporarily added /// to after \brief to work around this
problem and notified the Doxygen's author.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (heping) - only in documentation sections
Description:
Added wrappers for H5Fget_name:
H5File::getFileName
H5Object::getFileName
Moved some functions from Group into the base class CommonFG for
H5File too.
Platforms tested:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
Description:
H5IdComponent.cpp: initialized a pointer to NULL
H5Object.cpp: removed functions being added by mistake
Update function headers for the rest.
Platforms tested:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
Code update
Description:
Update C++ wrappers to use new ID reference counting mechanisms.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w/C++
Too focused to require h5committest
Add/Improve documentation
Description
Added doxygen documentation to H5PredType.cpp and made minor changes
to the others for either correction or clarification.
Platforms:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
Misc. update:
Add more C++ wrapper and documentation - incrementally check-in
Description
Added another overloaded constructor to StrType.
Added doxygen documentation to H5IdComponent.cpp.
Corrected some comments.
This is an incremental check-in to preserve the code, corresponding
tests will follow in a few weeks.
Platforms:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
Misc. update:
Add C++ wrappers - incrementally check-in
Description
Added wrapper for these C APIs:
H5Rcreate
H5Rget_obj_type
H5Rget_region
This is an incremental check-in to preserve the code, corresponding
tests will follow in a few weeks.
Platforms:
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
I'm checking the code out and test on arabica too.
Misc. update:
Kludge
Description:
Since we're only about halfway through converting the internal use of
property lists from the "old way" to the generic property lists, we turned
off snapshots to avoid exposing lots of API changes to users, until the
APIs settled down.
Getting the snapshots rolling again seems to have become a priority, so
some changes are going to have to be made now that were going to be
postponed until we were completely finished with the conversion. This
requires that the old API functions be able to deal with both the old
and new property lists smoothly.
Solution:
Kludge together the property list code so that they can transparently handle
dealing with both the old and new property lists
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Purpose: Usability enhancement
Description:
- Added more information about the failure to all the throw's,
i.e, member function name and more detail about the failure, where
appropriate. Also, added exception throws for private functions,
such as p_close to provide more specific details.
- Added two api functions: Exception::getFuncName() and
Exception::getCFuncName() to provide the name of the member
function where failure occurs.
- Fixed some typos, one of which caused segn. fault in some
situations (resetIdComponent was accidentally called twice
in a couple of places :)
Platforms:
arabica (sparc-sun-solaris 2.7)
Purpose: bug fix
Description:
I found a couple of places where virtual destructors were missing
and could cause small memory leaks. Also, some destructors were
not virtual when they should be.
Solution:
- added virtual destructors, which also free dynamically allocated
memory
- added virtual to several destructors
- also, fixed several typos
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
Fix and improve
Description:
- Put functions that are common to H5File and Group into a
prototype class, CommonFG. I didn't do that before because
of the fear of the consequences of multiple inheritance, since
H5File and Group already inherit from different super classes.
I recently read a C++ book and learned to use MI more safely.
This change reduced some more of code redundancy.
- Added missing const to some function parameters
- Added missing return statements for some functions.
Platforms tested:
Solaris/CC 5.0 (arabica)
Description:
Dec CC compiler doesn't support some new c++ features.
Some typos caused compilation erros on Dec Alpha.
Solution:
- Added macro BOOL_NOTDEFINED to define bool type on Dec
Alpha (gondolin) since its compiler doesn't support bool.
- Added macro NO_STATIC_CAST to prevent the use of the new
c++ feature static_cast since Dec CC compiler doesn't support.
- Added const to parameters of some functions to match the
functions' declaration and definition. Typos errors and
Dec CC complained.
Platform:
Solaris (arabica). Also tried to build on Dec Alpha but still
not linked due to some missing compiler flags; its compilation
went fine though.
Purpose:
Support portability
Description:
I forgot that source file extension .C will not work on Windows.
Solution:
Changed all source file from *.C to *.cpp for portability.
Platforms tested:
arabica (sparc-sun-solaris 2.7)
