-------
|
2004-01-01 03:19:18 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fixed bug with flattened hyperslab selections that would generate
|
|
|
|
|
incorrect hyperslab information with certain high-dimensionality
|
|
|
|
|
combinations of start/stride/count/block information.
|
|
|

|
SLU - 2003/12/29
|
2003-12-30 03:34:11 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fixed bug in parallel I/O routines that would cause reads from
|
|
|
|
|
"short datasets" (datasets which were only partially written out)
|
|
|
|
|
to return invalid data. QAK & AKC - 2003/12/19
|
2003-12-14 04:08:09 +08:00
|
|
|

|
|
|
- Fixed H5Giterate to avoid re-using index parameter after iteration

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
written with MPI-I/O. QAK - 2003/11/20
|
2003-11-13 23:19:50 +08:00
|

|
|
|
|
hang. QAK - 2003/10/28

since it had no benefit. QAK - 2003/10/28
|
2003-10-26 00:41:20 +08:00
|
|
|
- Single hyperslab selections (which were set with only one call to
|
|
|
|
|
H5Sselect_hyperslab) that had dimensions that could be "flattened"
|
|
|
|
|
but were interspersed with dimensions that could not be flattened
|
|
|
|
|
were not correctly handled, causing core dumps. QAK - 2003/10/25

|
|
|

- Fixed potential file corruption bug when too many object header
|
|
|
|
|
messages (probably attributes, from a user perspective) were
|
|
|
|
|
inserted into an object header and certain other conditions were
|
|
|
|
|
met. QAK - 2003/10/08
|
2003-10-07 03:14:15 +08:00
|
|
|

|
|
|
O(n) behavior for many common cases. QAK - 2003/10/06

again or check if it is locked. SLU - 2003/09/10
|
2003-09-11 02:32:28 +08:00
|
|
|
- Corrected bug when opening a file twice with read-only permission
|
|
|
|
|
for one open and then closing the read-only access file ID would
|
|
|
|
|
generate an error. QAK - 2003/09/10
|
2003-09-04 10:04:45 +08:00
|
|
|
- Corrected bug in repeated calls to H5Pget_access_plist() which would
|
|
|
|
|
incorrectly manage reference counts of internal information and

|
|
|
|
eventually blow up. QAK - 2003/09/02
|
2003-08-31 09:48:01 +08:00
|
|
|
- Return rank of the array datatype on successful call to
|
|
|
|
|
H5Tget_array_dims(). QAK - 2003/08/30
|
|
|
|
|
- Corrected bug in H5Tdetect_class which was not correctly detecting
|
|
|
|
|
datatype classes of fields in nested compound datatypes in some
|
|
|
|
|
circumstances. QAK - 2003/08/30
|
2003-08-29 00:02:21 +08:00

|
|
|
QAK - 2003/08/27
|
2003-08-27 02:35:37 +08:00

|
QAK - 2003/08/25
|
2003-08-26 04:14:05 +08:00

|
|
|
|
|
of a compound datatype on certain architectures. QAK - 2003/08/25
|
|
|
|
|
- Corrected bug in H5Tget_native_type which would incorrectly compute
|
|
|
|
|
the size of certain compound datatypes and also incorrectly
|
|
|
|
|
compute the offset of the last field for those compound datatypes.
|
|
|
|
|
QAK - 2003/08/25
|

|
|
|
- Corrected bugs in H5Gget_num_objs, H5Gget_objname_by_idx and

H5Gget_objtype_by_idx to allow them to accept location IDs, not just
|
|
|
|
|
group IDs. QAK - 2003/08/21

|
|
|
|
- Corrected bug when using scalar dataspace for memory selection and

proceed correctly.) AKC - 2003/11/03

Known Problems
|
2000-03-24 05:34:06 +08:00
|
|
|
==============
|
2003-07-02 04:01:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* PGI C++ compiler fails when compiling the C++ library's tests.
|
|
|
|
|
Therefore, we cannot verify that the C++ library built with the PGI C++
|
|
|
|
|
compiler is correct.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-03-05 19:48:13 +08:00
|
|
|
* The h5dump tests may fail to match the expected output on some platforms
|
|
|
|
|
(e.g. parallel jobs, Windows) where the error messages directed to
|
|
|
|
|
"stderr" do not appear in the "right order" with output from stdout.
|
|
|
|
|
This is not an error.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001-08-28 03:31:45 +08:00
|
|
|
* The stream-vfd test uses ip port 10007 for testing. If another
|
|
|
|
|
application is already using that port address, the test will hang
|
|
|
|
|
indefinitely and has to be terminated by the kill command. To try the
|
|
|
|
|
test again, change the port address in test/stream_test.c to one not
|
|
|
|
|
being used in the host.
|
2001-02-21 03:35:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2001-02-01 01:28:57 +08:00
|
|
|
* The --enable-static-exec configure flag fails to compile for Solaris
|
|
|
|
|
platforms. This is due to the fact that not all of the system
|
|
|
|
|
libraries on Solaris are available in a static format.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001-02-21 03:35:07 +08:00
|
|
|
The --enable-static-exec configure flag also fails to correctly compile
|
2001-05-26 02:49:33 +08:00
|
|
|
on IBM SP2 platform for the serial mode. The parallel mode works fine
|
2001-02-21 03:35:07 +08:00
|
|
|
with this option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001-02-01 01:28:57 +08:00
|
|
|
It is suggested that you don't use this option on these platforms
|
|
|
|
|
during configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001-01-19 05:11:33 +08:00
|
|
|
* With the gcc 2.95.2 compiler, HDF 5 uses the `-ansi' flag during
|
|
|
|
|
compilation. The ANSI version of the compiler complains about not being
|
|
|
|
|
able to handle the `long long' datatype with the warning:
|
2001-01-12 06:47:33 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2001-01-19 05:11:33 +08:00
|
|
|
warning: ANSI C does not support `long long'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This warning is innocuous and can be safely ignored.
|
2001-01-12 06:47:33 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2001-02-10 06:37:18 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2001-08-28 03:31:45 +08:00
|
|
|
* The Stream VFD was not tested yet under Windows. It is not supported
|
|
|
|
|
in the TFLOPS machine.
|
2000-12-19 06:06:13 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The ./dsets tests failed in the TFLOPS machine if the test program,
|
|
|
|
|
dsets.c, is compiled with the -O option. The hdf5 library still works
|
2000-12-20 01:44:28 +08:00
|
|
|
correctly with the -O option. The test program works fine if it is
|
|
|
|
|
compiled with -O1 or -O0. Only -O (same as -O2) causes the test
|
|
|
|
|
program to fail.
|
2000-12-20 00:08:47 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2003-06-04 01:27:13 +08:00
|
|
|
* Certain platforms give false negatives when testing h5ls:
|
2003-07-04 01:20:13 +08:00
|
|
|
- Cray J90 and Cray T90IEEE give errors during testing when displaying
|
2001-08-28 03:31:45 +08:00
|
|
|
some floating-point values. These are benign differences due to
|
|
|
|
|
the different precision in the values displayed and h5ls appears to
|
|
|
|
|
be dumping floating-point numbers correctly.
|

* Before building HDF5 F90 Library from source on Crays
|
2001-08-28 03:31:45 +08:00
|
|
|
replace H5Aff.f90, H5Dff.f90 and H5Pff.f90 files in the fortran/src
|
|
|
|
|
subdirectory in the top level directory with the Cray-specific files
|
|
|
|
|
from the site:

|
|
|
* On some platforms that use Intel compilers to build HDF5 fortran library,
|
|
|
|
|
compilation may fail for fortranlib_test.f90, fflush1.f90 and fflush2.f90
|
|
|
|
|
complaining about exit subroutine. Comment out the line
|
|
|
|
|
IF (total_error .ne. 0) CALL exit (total_error)

|
* On IA32 and IA64 systems, if you use a compiler other than GCC (such as
|
|
|
|
|
Intel's ecc or icc compilers), you will need to modify the generated
|
|
|
|
|
"libtool" program after configuration is finished. On or around line 104 of
|
|
|
|
|
the libtool file, there are lines which look like:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# How to pass a linker flag through the compiler.
|
|
|
|
|
wl=""
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
change these lines to this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# How to pass a linker flag through the compiler.
|
|
|
|
|
wl="-Wl,"

|
|
|
UPDATE: This is now done automatically by the configure script. However, if
|
|
|
|
|
you still experience a problem, you may want to check this line in the
|
|
|
|
|
libtool file and make sure that it has the correct value.
