New Features
============
Configuration:
-------------
- Added CMake option to format source files
HDF5_ENABLE_FORMATTERS option will enable creation of targets using the
pattern - HDF5_*_SRC_FORMAT - where * corresponds to the source folder
or tool folder. All sources can be formatted by executing the format target;
make format

Known Problems
==============
CMake files do not behave correctly with paths containing spaces.
Do not use spaces in paths because the required escaping for handling spaces
results in very complex and fragile build files.
ADB - 2019/05/07
At present, metadata cache images may not be generated by parallel
applications. Parallel applications can read files with metadata cache
images, but since this is a collective operation, a deadlock is possible
if one or more processes do not participate.
Two tests fail attempting collective writes with OpenMPI 3.0.0/GCC-7.2.0-2.29:
testphdf5 (ecdsetw, selnone, cchunk1, cchunk3, cchunk4, and actualio)
t_shapesame (sscontig2)
CPP ptable test fails on both VS2017 and VS2019 with Intel compiler, JIRA
issue: HDFFV-10628. This test will pass with VS2015 with Intel compiler.
Known problems in previous releases can be found in the HISTORY*.txt files
in the HDF5 source. Please report any new problems found to
help@hdfgroup.org.
CMake vs. Autotools installations
=================================
While both build systems produce similar results, there are differences.
Each system produces the same set of folders on linux (only CMake works
on standard Windows); bin, include, lib and share. Autotools places the
COPYING and RELEASE.txt file in the root folder, CMake places them in
the share folder.
The bin folder contains the tools and the build scripts. Additionally, CMake
creates dynamic versions of the tools with the suffix "-shared". Autotools
installs one set of tools depending on the "--enable-shared" configuration
option.
build scripts
-------------
Autotools: h5c++, h5cc, h5fc
CMake: h5c++, h5cc, h5hlc++, h5hlcc
The include folder holds the header files and the fortran mod files. CMake
the share folder.
The bin folder contains the tools and the build scripts. Additionally, CMake
places the fortran mod files into separate shared and static subfolders,
while Autotools places one set of mod files into the include folder. Because
CMake produces a tools library, the header files for tools will appear in
the include folder.
The lib folder contains the library files, and CMake adds the pkgconfig
subfolder with the hdf5*.pc files used by the bin/build scripts created by
the CMake build. CMake separates the C interface code from the fortran code by
creating C-stub libraries for each Fortran library. In addition, only CMake
installs the tools library. The names of the szip libraries are different
between the build systems.
The share folder will have the most differences because CMake builds include
a number of CMake specific files for support of CMake's find_package and support
for the HDF5 Examples CMake project.
