Configuration:
|
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
2005-01-07 02:17:59 +08:00
|
|
|
- Started to support software conversion between long double and
|
|
|
|
|
integers. Hardware conversion will come very soon. SLU - 2005/1/6
|
2004-12-07 06:23:33 +08:00
|
|
|
- Intel v8.0 compiler would infinite loop when compiling some test
|
|
|
|
|
code with -O3 option. Changed enable-production default compiler
|
|
|
|
|
option to -O2. AKC - 2004/12/06
|
2004-10-23 05:16:49 +08:00
|
|
|
- Long double is assumed to be a supported C data type. It is a
|
|
|
|
|
stanadard C89 type. AKC - 2004/10/22
|
2004-08-06 07:03:41 +08:00
|
|
|
- The IA64 will use ecc as the C++ compiler by default.
|
2004-07-26 12:41:48 +08:00
|
|
|
- Added some initial support for making purify (or similar memory
|
|
|
|
|
checking products) happier by initializing buffers to zero and
|
|
|
|
|
disabling the internal free list code. To take advantage of this,
|
|
|
|
|
define 'H5_USING_PURIFY' in your CFLAGS when building the library.
|
|
|
|
|
QAK - 2004/07/23
|
2004-05-21 03:02:18 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fixed the long compile time of H5detect.c when v7.x Intel Compiler
|
2004-07-26 12:41:48 +08:00
|
|
|
is used with optimization NOT off. AKC - 2004/05/20
|
2004-01-09 04:18:02 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fixed configure setting of C++ for OSF1 platform. AKC - 2004/01/06
|
2003-08-26 04:14:05 +08:00
|
|
|
- Prefix default is changed from /usr/local to `pwd`/hdf5.
|
2004-07-26 12:41:48 +08:00

Library:
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
2005-01-22 09:16:57 +08:00
|
|
|
- Pablo was removed from the source code EIP - 2005/01/21
|
2004-11-03 03:21:20 +08:00
|
|
|
- Modified registration of SZIP to dynamically detect the presence
|
|
|
|
|
or absence of the encoder. Changed configure and Makefiles,
|
2004-12-16 07:31:27 +08:00
|
|
|
and tests to dynamically detect encoder. BEM - 2004/11/02
|
|
|
|
|
- Added function H5Pget_data_transform, together with the previously
|
|
|
|
|
added H5Pset_data_transform, to support the data transform
|
|
|
|
|
feature. AKC - 2004/10/26
|
2004-10-02 02:27:06 +08:00
|
|
|
- Compound datatype has been enhanced with a new feature of size
|
|
|
|
|
adjustment. The size can be increased and decreased(without
|
2004-10-06 02:36:03 +08:00
|
|
|
cutting the last member) as long as it doesn't go down to zero.
|
|
|
|
|
No API change is involved. SLU - 2004/10/1
|
2004-09-02 01:43:30 +08:00
|
|
|
- Put back 6 old error API functions to be backward compatible with
|
|
|
|
|
version 1.6. They are H5Epush, H5Eprint, H5Ewalk, H5Eclear,
|
|
|
|
|
H5Eset_auto, H5Eget_auto. Their new equivalent functions are
|
|
|
|
|
called H5Epush_stack, H5Eprint_stack, H5Ewalk_stack,
|
|
|
|
|
H5Eclear_stack, H5Eset_auto_stack, H5Eget_auto_stack. SLU -
|
|
|
|
|
2004/9/2
|
2004-07-22 05:30:26 +08:00
|
|
|
- 4 new API functions, H5Tencode, H5Tdecode, H5Sencode, H5Sdecode were
|
2004-07-26 12:41:48 +08:00
|
|
|
added to the library. Given object ID, these functions encode and
|
|
|
|
|
decode HDF5 objects(data type and space) information into and from
|
|
|
|
|
binary buffer. SLU - 2004/07/21
|
2004-07-22 05:04:42 +08:00
|
|
|
- Modified the way how HDF5 calculates 'pixels_per_scanline' parameter for
|
2004-07-26 12:41:48 +08:00
|
|
|
SZIP compression. Now there is no restriction on the size and shape of the
|
|
|
|
|
chunk except that the total number of elements in the chunk cannot be
|
|
|
|
|
bigger than 'pixels_per_block' parameter provided by the user.
|
2004-07-22 05:04:42 +08:00
|
|
|
EIP - 2004/07/21
|
2004-07-20 08:47:37 +08:00
|
|
|
- Added support for SZIP without encoder. Added H5Zget_filter_info
|
2004-07-26 12:41:48 +08:00
|
|
|
and changed H5Pget_filter and H5Pget_filter_by_id to support this
|
|
|
|
|
change. JL/NF - 2004/06/30
|
2004-07-20 08:47:37 +08:00
|
|
|
- SZIP always uses K13 compression. This flag no longer needs to
|
2004-07-26 12:41:48 +08:00
|
|
|
be set when calling H5Pset_szip. If the flag for CHIP
|
|
|
|
|
compression is set, it will be ignored (since the two are mutually
|
|
|
|
|
exclusive). JL/NF - 2004/6/30
|
2004-06-30 21:45:07 +08:00
|
|
|
- A new API function H5Fget_name was added. It returns the name
|
|
|
|
|
of the file by object(file, group, data set, named data type,
|
|
|
|
|
attribute) ID. SLU - 2004/06/29
|

|
|
|
|
|
actual file size of the opened file. SLU - 2004/06/24
|
2004-05-10 23:26:39 +08:00
|
|
|
- New Feature of Data transformation is added. AKC - 2004/05/03.
|
2004-04-28 03:16:54 +08:00
|
|
|
- New exception handler for datatype conversion is put in to
|
|
|
|
|
replace the old overflow callback function. This exception
|
|
|
|
|
handler is set through H5Pset_type_conv_cb function.
|
|
|
|
|
SLU - 2004/4/27
|
2004-04-15 02:22:03 +08:00
|
|
|
- Added option that if $HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK is set to 2,
|
|
|
|
|
will suppress all library version mismatch warning messages.
|
|
|
|
|
AKC - 2004/4/14
|
|
|
|
|
- A new type of dataspace, null dataspace(dataspace without any
|
2004-03-25 05:03:34 +08:00

-------
|
2004-10-19 11:31:11 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fix segmentation fault when calling H5Fflush with an attribute that
|
|
|
|
|
hasn't had a value written to it open. QAK - 2004/10/18
|
2004-10-05 22:31:14 +08:00
|
|
|
- Back up supporting bitfield and time types in H5Tget_native_type.
|
|
|
|
|
Leave it to future support. The function simply returns error
|
|
|
|
|
message of "not support" for bitfield and time types.
|
|
|
|
|
SLU - 2004/10/5
|
2004-09-28 12:34:38 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fixed address check in Core VFL driver to avoid spurious address/size
|
|
|
|
|
overflows for odd valued addresses and/or sizes. QAK - 2004/09/27
|
2004-09-16 02:33:05 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fixed parallel bug in which some processes attempted collective
|
|
|
|
|
I/O while others did independent I/O. Bug appeared when some
|
|
|
|
|
processes used point selections, and others didn't. JRM - 2004/9/15
|
2004-09-14 13:04:25 +08:00
|
|
|
- Corrected error where dataset region references were written in an
|
|
|
|
|
incorrect way on Cray machines. PVN & QAK - 2004/09/13
|
2004-09-08 02:16:44 +08:00
|
|
|
- The H5Tget_native_type now determines the native type for integers
|
2004-09-14 13:04:25 +08:00
|
|
|
based on the precision. This is to avoid cases of wrongly converting
|
|
|
|
|
an int to a short in machines that have a short of 8 bytes but with
|
|
|
|
|
32bit precision (e.g Cray SV1). PVN - 2004/09/07
|
2004-08-25 16:30:32 +08:00
|
|
|
- Changed H5Dread() to not overwrite data in an application's buffer
|
|
|
|
|
with garbage when accessing a chunked dataset with an undefined
|
|
|
|
|
fill value and an unwritten chunk is uncountered. QAK - 2004/08/25
|
2004-08-09 06:12:18 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fixed error which could cause a core dump when a type conversion
|
|
|
|
|
routine was registered after a compound datatype had been
|
|
|
|
|
converted and then an equivalment compound datatype was converted
|
|
|
|
|
again. QAK - 2004/08/07
|
2004-08-06 02:44:27 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fixed memory overwrite when encoding "multi" file driver information
|
|
|
|
|
for file's superblock. QAK - 2004/08/05
|
2004-07-30 11:34:15 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fixed obscure bug where a filter which failed during chunk allocation
|
|
|
|
|
could allow library to write uncompressed data to disk but think
|
|
|
|
|
the data was compressed. QAK - 2004/07/29
|
2004-07-28 11:22:12 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fixed bug where I/O to an extendible chunked dataset with zero-sized
|
|
|
|
|
dimensions would cause library to fail an assertion.
|
|
|
|
|
QAK - 2004/07/27
|
2004-07-28 04:41:57 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fixed bug where chunked datasets which have filters defined,
|
|
|
|
|
allocation time set to "late" and whose chunks don't align with
|
|
|
|
|
the dataspace bounds could have incorrect data stored when
|
|
|
|
|
overwriting the entire dataset on the first write. QAK - 2004/07/27
|
2004-07-31 01:41:51 +08:00
|
|
|
- Added check to ensure that dataspaces have extents set. JML-2004/07/26
|
|
|
|
|
- Fixed bug on some Solaris systems where HDF5 would try to use
|
|
|
|
|
gettimeofday() when that function didn't work properly.
|
|
|
|
|
JML - 2004/07/23
|
2004-07-23 00:26:54 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fixed bug in H5Sset_extent_simple where setting maximum size to
|
|
|
|
|
non-zero, then to zero would cause an error. JML - 2004/07/20
|
2004-07-21 01:11:36 +08:00
|
|
|
- Allow NULL pointer for buffer parameter to H5Dread & H5Dwrite
|
|
|
|
|
when not writing data ("none" selection or hyperslab or point
|
|
|
|
|
selection with no elements defined). QAK - 2004/07/20
|
2004-07-20 08:47:37 +08:00
|
|
|
- Calling H5Gcreate() on "/" or "." throws an error instead of
|
2004-07-21 01:11:36 +08:00
|
|
|
failing quietly. JML - 2004/07/19
|
2004-07-20 08:47:37 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fixed bug where setting file address size to be very small could
|
2004-07-21 01:11:36 +08:00
|
|
|
trigger an assert if the file grew to more than 64 KB. Now throws
|
|
|
|
|
an error and data can be recovered. JL/NF - 2004/07/14
|
2004-07-15 03:08:34 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fixed bug where "resurrecting" a dataset was failing.

- Fixed potential file corruption bug when a block of metadata could
|
2004-07-14 02:42:47 +08:00
|
|
|
overlap the end of the internal metadata accumulator buffer and
|
|
|
|
|
the buffer would be extended correctly, but would incorrectly
|
|
|
|
|
change it's starting address. QAK - 2004/06/09
|
2004-06-04 06:02:44 +08:00
|
|
|
- Opaque datatype with no tag failed for some operations. Fixed.

|
|
|
- Fixed potential file corruption bug where dimensions that were
|
2004-07-14 02:42:47 +08:00
|
|
|
too large (a value greater than could be represented in 32-bits)
|
|
|
|
|
could cause the incorrect amount of space to be allocated in a
|
|
|
|
|
file for the raw data for the dataset. QAK - 2004/06/01
|
2004-04-17 05:33:39 +08:00

|
|
|
|
|
used for datasets in files with objects that were unlinked to
|
|
|
|
|
fail to be read/written to a file. QAK - 2004/01/13
|
2004-01-01 04:28:46 +08:00
|
|
|
- Detect situation where szip 'pixels per block' is larger than the
|
|
|
|
|
fastest changing dimension of a dataset's chunk size and disallow
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
- 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
|
2003-10-11 06:19:00 +08:00

|
|
|
|
generate an error. QAK - 2003/09/10
|
2003-09-04 10:04:45 +08:00
|
|
|

Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
2004-01-31 09:38:44 +08:00
|
|
|
- Parallel I/O with the MPI-I/O driver will no longer work if the
|
|
|
|
|
filesystem is not POSIX compliant. The "HDF5_MPI_1_METAWRITE"
|
|
|
|
|
environment variable has been removed. QAK - 2004/01/30
|
2003-08-26 04:14:05 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fixed the error that cause "make install" to fail because of the
|
|
|
|
|
macro definition syntax of "prefix?=..." AKC - 2003/07/22

Performance
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
2003-11-08 04:21:43 +08:00
|
|
|
- More optimizations to inner loops of datatype conversions for
|
|
|
|
|
integers and floats which give a 10-50% speedup. QAK - 2003/11/07
|
2003-10-21 01:19:21 +08:00
|
|
|
- Hoisted invariant 'if/else's out of inner datatype conversion loop for
|
|
|
|
|
integer and floating-point values, giving about a 20% speedup.
|
|
|

|
|
|
- Fixed h5redeploy which sometimes complain too many argument for the
|
|
|
|
|
test command. (The complain did not hinder the h5redploy to
|
|
|
|
|
proceed correctly.) AKC - 2003/11/03

Known Problems
|
2000-03-24 05:34:06 +08:00
|
|
|
==============
|
2004-12-08 22:01:09 +08:00
|
|
|
* On IBM AIX systems, parallel HDF5 mode will fail some tests with error
|
|
|
|
|
messages like "INFO: 0031-XXX ...". This is from the command poe.
|
|
|
|
|
Set the environment variable MP_INFOLEVEL to 0 to minimize the messages
|
|
|
|
|
and run the tests again.
|
|
|
|
|
The tests may fail with messages like "The socket name is already
|
|
|
|
|
in use". HDF5 does not use sockets (except for stream-VFD). This is
|
|
|
|
|
due to problems of the poe command trying to set up the debug socket.
|
|
|
|
|
Check if there are many old /tmp/s.pedb.* staying around. These are
|
|
|
|
|
sockets used by the poe command and left behind due to failed commands.
|
|
|
|
|
Ask your system administrator to clean them out. Lastly, request IBM
|
|
|
|
|
to provide a mean to run poe without the debug socket.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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 and Absoft compilers to build HDF5 fortran library,
|
2003-06-04 01:27:13 +08:00
|
|
|
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,"
|

|
|
|
|
2003-01-24 03:19:46 +08:00
|
|
|
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.

* Information about building with PGI and Intel compilers is available in
|
|
|
|
|
INSTALL file sections 5.7 and 5.8

|
|
* On at least one system, (SDSC DataStar), the scheduler (in this case
|
|
|
|
|
LoadLeveler) sends job status updates to standard error when you run
|
|
|
|
|
any executable that was compiled with the parallel compilers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This causes problems when running "make check" on parallel builds, as
|
|
|
|
|
many of the tool tests function by saving the output from test runs,
|
|
|
|
|
and comparing it to an exemplar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The best solution is to reconfigure the target system so it no longer
|
|
|
|
|
inserts the extra text. However, this may not be practical.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In such cases, one solution is to "setenv HDF5_Make_Ignore yes" prior to
|
|
|
|
|
the configure and build. This will cause "make check" to continue after
|
|
|
|
|
detecting errors in the tool tests. However, in the case of SDSC DataStar,
|
|
|
|
|
it also leaves you with some 150 "failed" tests to examine by hand.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A second solution is to write a script to run serial tests and filter
|
|
|
|
|
out the text added by the scheduler. A sample script used on SDSC
|
|
|
|
|
DataStar is given below, but you will probably have to customize it
|
|
|
|
|
for your installation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Observe that the basic idea is to insert the script as the first item
|
|
|
|
|
on the command line which executes the the test. The script then
|
|
|
|
|
executes the test and filters out the offending text before passing
|
|
|
|
|
it on.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#!/bin/csh
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
set STDOUT_FILE=~/bin/serial_filter.stdout
|
|
|
|
|
set STDERR_FILE=~/bin/serial_filter.stderr
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rm -f $STDOUT_FILE $STDERR_FILE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
($* > $STDOUT_FILE) >& $STDERR_FILE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
set RETURN_VALUE=$status
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cat $STDOUT_FILE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tail +3 $STDERR_FILE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
exit $RETURN_VALUE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You get the HDF make files and test scipts to execute your filter script
|
|
|
|
|
by setting the environment variable "RUNSERIAL" to the full path of the
|
|
|
|
|
script prior to running configure for parallel builds. Remember to
|
|
|
|
|
"unsetenv RUNSERIAL" before running configure for a serial build.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that the RUNSERIAL environment variable exists so that we can
|
|
|
|
|
can prefix serial runs as necessary on the target system. On DataStar,
|
|
|
|
|
no prefix is necessary. However on an MPICH system, the prefix might
|
|
|
|
|
have to be set to something like "/usr/local/mpi/bin/mpirun -np 1" to
|
|
|
|
|
get the serial tests to run at all.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In such cases, you will have to include the regular prefix in your
|
|
|
|
|
filter script.
