enhanced performance for h5diff
Description:
the comparison cycle for the 2 buffers read from file was using a compare function
where the type must be checked for each datum (e.g due to recursive calls in compound types)
for atomic types this checking can be avoided
Solution:
introduced cycles for each one of the atomic integer and float class types
Platforms tested:
linux
aix
solaris
