Configuration:
|
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
2005-09-07 02:44:12 +08:00
|
|
|
- A new API function, H5Tis_hard(), was added to the library. It
|
|
|
|
|
checks if a conversion function is a compiler (hard) conversion.
|
|
|
|
|
SLU - 2005/9/6
|
2005-08-24 06:45:26 +08:00
|
|
|
- t_mpi will run the test_mpio_derived_dtype by default unless it is
|
|
|
|
|
known not working (indicated by macro H5_MPI_COMPLEX_DERIVED_DATATYPE_WORKS
|
|
|
|
|
not defined.) -AKC- 2005/8/23.
|
2005-08-04 01:22:03 +08:00
|
|
|
- Test execution has changed in a number of ways:
|
|
|
|
|
When make is invoked in parallel (using -j), sequential tests
|
|
|
|
|
are now executed as parallel make targets. This should make them
|
|
|
|
|
finish more quickly on machines with multiple processors.
|
2005-08-04 01:28:13 +08:00
|
|
|
Since test output is garbled when they are executed by parallel make,
|
2005-08-04 01:22:03 +08:00
|
|
|
tests now dump their output to foo.log files and foo.logsh files
|
|
|
|
|
(for test scripts). These logs are printed to the screen only
|
|
|
|
|
when a test fails or when all tests in the current directory have
|
|
|
|
|
completed successfully.
|
|
|
|
|
When tests pass, they will create a foo.chkexe or foo.chksh file.
|
2005-07-02 05:22:05 +08:00
|
|
|
This prevents the test from executing again until the test or
|
|
|
|
|
main library changes.
|
2005-08-04 01:22:03 +08:00
|
|
|
All files generated by tests (*.chkexe, *.log, and any *.h5 files
|
|
|
|
|
created) can be removed by invoking 'make check-clean'.
|
2005-08-04 01:28:13 +08:00
|
|
|
Sequential and parallel library tests can now be invoked separately.
|
|
|
|
|
'make check-s' will execute only sequential tests, and 'make check-p'
|
|
|
|
|
will execute only parallel tests. 'make check' will still execute
|
|
|
|
|
all tests.

2005-04-22 23:44:16 +08:00
|
|
|
- On windows, all.zip is deprecated. users should
|
|
|
|
|
read INSTALL_Windows.txt to know the details.
|
|
|
|
|
Reasons to deprecate all.zip:
|
|
|
|
|
1. Avoid confliction for windows programmers
|
|
|
|
|
2. Decrease size of CVS tree by adding all.zip
|
|
|
|
|
3. Avoid using winzip as the intermediate step

2005-04-21 00:46:41 +08:00
|
|
|
- When HDF5 is created as a shared library, it now uses libtool's
|
|
|
|
|
shared library versioning scheme. -JML 2005/04/18
|
2005-03-11 04:52:34 +08:00
|
|
|
- HDF5 now uses automake 1.9.5 to generate Makefiles.in.
|
|
|
|
|
This has a number of effects on users:
|
|
|
|
|
The Fortran compiler should be set using the environment
|
|
|
|
|
variable $FC, not $F9X. F9X still works, but is depreciated.
|
|
|
|
|
The output of make may be different. This should be only a
|
|
|
|
|
cosmetic effect.
|
|
|
|
|
make depened (or make dep) is no longer recognized, since automake
|
|
|
|
|
handles dependency tracking.
|
|
|
|
|
Some new configure options exist. --enable-dependency-tracking
|
|
|
|
|
and --disable-dependency-tracking are used to control automake's
|
|
|
|
|
dependency tracking. Dependencies are on by default *on most
|
|
|
|
|
platforms and compilers*. If --enable-dependency-tracking is
|
|
|
|
|
used, they will be enabled on any platform. However, this can
|
|
|
|
|
slow down builds or even cause build errors in some cases.
|
|
|
|
|
Likewise, --disable-dependency-tracking can speed up builds and
|
|
|
|
|
avoid some build errors.
|
|
|
|
|
Some make targets have alternate names. make check-install and
|
|
|
|
|
make installcheck do the same thing, for instance.
|
|
|
|
|
pmake on IRIX can be invoked from the root directory, but the
|
|
|
|
|
-V flag must be used to invoke it in any subdirectory or it
|
|
|
|
|
will give an error about undefined variables.

|
2005-02-11 06:16:14 +08:00
|
|
|
- Hardware conversion between long double and integers is also added.
|
|
|
|
|
SLU 2005/02/10
|
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:
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
2005-08-05 03:17:56 +08:00
|
|
|
- Added HSYS_ERROR which retrieves the system error message and pushes
|
|
|
|
|
it to the error stack. This gives more information of the failed
|
|
|
|
|
system call. AKC - 2005/08/04
|
2005-06-02 05:20:10 +08:00
|
|
|
- Added H5F_OBJ_LOCAL flag to H5Fget_obj_count() & H5Fget_obj_ids(), to
|
2005-08-05 03:17:56 +08:00
|
|
|
allow querying for objects in file that were opened with a particular
|
|
|
|
|
file ID, instead of all objects opened in file with any file ID.
|
|
|
|
|
QAK - 2005/06/01
|
2005-05-24 02:20:07 +08:00
|
|
|
- Added H5T_CSET_UTF8 character set to mark datatypes that use the
|
2005-08-05 03:17:56 +08:00
|
|
|
UTF-8 Unicode character encoding. Added tests to ensure that
|
|
|
|
|
library handles UTF-8 object names, attributes, etc. -JL 2005/05/13
|
2005-04-16 04:20:50 +08:00
|
|
|
- HDF5 supports collective MPI-IO for irregular selection with HDF5
|
2005-08-05 03:17:56 +08:00
|
|
|
dataset. Irregular selection is when users use H5Sselect_hyperslab
|
|
|
|
|
more than once for the same dataset.
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, not all MPI-IO packages support complicated MPI derived
|
2005-04-16 04:20:50 +08:00
|
|
|
datatype used in the implementation of irregular
|
|
|
|
|
selection INSIDE HDF5.
|
2005-07-14 04:05:47 +08:00
|
|
|
1) DEC 5.x is not supporting complicated derived datatype.
|
|
|
|
|
2) For AIX 5.1 32-bit,
|
2005-04-29 22:38:50 +08:00
|
|
|
if your poe version number is 3.2.0.19 or lower,
|
2005-04-16 04:20:50 +08:00
|
|
|
please edit powerpc-ibm-aix5.x under hdf5/config,
|
|
|
|
|
Find the line with
|
|
|
|
|
<< hdf5_mpi_complex_derived_datatype_works>>
|
2005-04-29 22:38:50 +08:00
|
|
|
and UNCOMMENT this line before the configure.
|
2005-04-16 04:20:50 +08:00
|
|
|
check poe version with the following command:
|
|
|
|
|
lpp -l all | grep ppe.poe
|
2005-07-14 04:05:47 +08:00
|
|
|
For AIX 5.1 64-bit,
|
|
|
|
|
regardless of poe version number, please UNCOMMENT
|
|
|
|
|
<< hdf5_mpi_complex_derived_datatype_works>> under hdf5/config.
|
|
|
|
|
We suspect there are some problems for MPI-IO implementation
|
|
|
|
|
for 64-bit.
|
|
|
|
|
3) For Linux cluster,
|
|
|
|
|
if mpich version is 1.2.5 or lower, collective irregular selection
|
|
|
|
|
IO is not supported, internally independent IO is used.
|
|
|
|
|
4) For IRIX 6.5,
|
|
|
|
|
if C compiler version is 7.3 or lower, collective irregular selection
|
|
|
|
|
IO is not supported, internally independent IO is used.
|
2005-08-20 03:39:30 +08:00
|
|
|
5) For platforms which internally used mpich, if the
|
|
|
|
|
mpich version is 1.2.5 or lower, please find the
|
|
|
|
|
corresponding config file and add
|
|
|
|
|
hdf5_mpi_complex_derived_datatype_works='no' at the
|
|
|
|
|
end of the configuration file. For example, at NCSA
|
|
|
|
|
SGI Altix, the internal mpich library is 1.2.5. So
|
|
|
|
|
hdf5_mpi_complex_derived_datatype_works='no' should be
|
|
|
|
|
added at the end of the config file ia64-linux-gnu.

|
|
- HDF5 N-bit filter
|
|
|
|
|
HDF5 support N-bit filter from this version,
|
|
|
|
|
The N-Bit filter is used effectively for compressing data of N-Bit
|
|
|
|
|
datatype as well as compound and array datatype with N-Bit fields.
|
|
|
|
|
KY - 2005/04/15
|
|
|
|
|
- HDF5 scaleoffset filter
|
|
|
|
|
HDF5 supports scaleoffset filter for users to do data
|
|
|
|
|
compression through HDF5 library.
|
|
|
|
|
Scale-Offset compression performs a scale and/or offset operation
|
|
|
|
|
on each data value and truncates the resulting value to a minimum
|
|
|
|
|
number of bits and then stores the data.
|
2005-06-07 00:23:20 +08:00
|
|
|
Scaleoffset filter supports floating-point and integer datatype.
|
|
|
|
|
Please check the HDF5 reference manual for this.

|
|
KY - 2005/06/06
|
2005-04-08 03:41:25 +08:00
|
|
|
- Retired SRB vfd (--with-srb). Functions H5Pset_fapl_srb and
|
|
|
|
|
H5Pget_fapl_srb were removed. EIP - 2005/04/07
|
2005-03-09 01:58:12 +08:00
|
|
|
- Retired GASS vfd (--with-gass). Functions H5Pset_fapl_gass and
|
|
|
|
|
H5Pget_fapl_gass are removed too. AKC - 2005/3/3
|
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.

- 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
|

|
|
|
|
|
actual file size of the opened file. SLU - 2004/06/24
|
2004-05-10 23:26:39 +08:00

|
QAK - 2003/08/08
|
|
|
|
|
- Object references (hobj_ref_t) can now be compared with the 'objno'
|
|

Parallel Library:
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------
|
2005-08-30 12:46:46 +08:00
|
|
|
- A dataset created in serial mode with H5D_ALLOC_TIME_INCR allocation
|
|
|
|
|
setting was not extendible, either explicitly by H5Dextend or
|
|
|
|
|
implicitly by writing to unallocated chunks. Library now allocates
|
|
|
|
|
more space when needed or directed if the file is opened by parallel
|
|
|
|
|
mode, independent of what the dataset allocation mode is.
|
|
|
|
|
CC/AKC - 2005/08/29.

|
2003-11-28 01:19:00 +08:00
|
|
|
- Added parallel test, test_mpio_1wMr, which tests if the
|
2004-10-05 04:29:31 +08:00
|
|
|
underlaying parallel I/O system is conforming to the POSIX
|
|
|

|
of the type INTEGER(HSIZE_T).
|
2005-06-23 02:23:21 +08:00
|
|
|
- added support for native integers of 8 bytes (i.e. when special
|
|
|
|
|
compiler flag is specified to set native fortran integers to 8 bytes,
|
|
|
|
|
for example, -i8 flag for PGI and Absoft Fortran compilers,

Library
|
|
|
|
|
-------
|
2005-08-21 00:32:55 +08:00
|
|
|
- Corrected errors when performing various operations on a group opened
|
2005-07-31 02:53:01 +08:00
|
|
|
by dereferencing an object reference. QAK - 2005/07/30
|
2005-07-24 03:58:13 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug with named datatypes where a copy of a named datatype
|
|
|
|
|
used to create a dataset would accidentally use the original
|
|
|
|
|
named datatype for the dataset's datatype. QAK - 2005/07/23
|
2005-07-22 22:33:24 +08:00
|
|
|
- Made H5Fget_name() be consistent and always return name of actual
|
|
|
|
|
file the ID is in. (Instead of the name of the top file in a
|
|
|
|
|
file mounting hierarchy). QAK - 2005/07/19
|
|
|
|
|
- Reworked internal file mounting semantics to hopefully eliminate
|
|
|
|
|
mounting problems. We now require that files that are mounting
|
|
|
|
|
together all have the same "file close degree". QAK - 2005/07/19
|
2005-07-17 00:33:15 +08:00
|
|
|
- More bug fixes on holding open files that are mounted and have
|
|
|
|
|
IDs open. QAK - 2005/07/14
|
2005-07-06 05:58:50 +08:00
|
|
|
- Don't unmount child files until the parent file actually closes.
|
|
|
|
|
(Previously, if an object is holding open a file, the child files
|
|
|
|
|
would get unmounted too early). QAK - 2005/07/05
|
2005-07-01 13:35:29 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fixed bug where unmounted files could cause the library to go into
|
|
|
|
|
an infinite loop when shutting down. QAK - 2005/06/30
|
2005-06-24 22:59:11 +08:00
|
|
|
- The library didn't save the information of family driver in file.
|
|
|
|
|
The original file member size was lost after file was closed (see
|
2005-06-25 02:58:38 +08:00
|
|
|
bug #213). This has been fixed by saving driver name and member
|
2005-06-24 22:59:11 +08:00
|
|
|
file size in the superblock. SLU - 2005/6/24
|
2005-06-18 13:10:22 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fixed bug with hyperslab selections that use selection offsets and
|
|
|
|
|
operate on chunked datasets going into infinite loop or dumping
|
|
|
|
|
core. QAK - 2005/06/17
|
|
|
|
|
- Corrected memory leak and possible corruption when opening a group.
|
|
|
|
|
QAK - 2005/06/17
|
2005-06-15 05:18:32 +08:00
|
|
|
- Added check for opaque datatype tags being too long (check against
|
|
|
|
|
H5T_OPAQUE_TAG_MAX, currently set to 256). QAK - 2005/06/14
|
2005-06-08 13:22:28 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fixed various errors in maintaining names for open objects in the
|
|
|
|
|
face of unusual mount & unmount operations. QAK - 2005/06/08
|
2005-06-02 05:20:10 +08:00
|
|
|
- "SEMI" and "STRONG" file close degree settings now apply only to the
|
|
|
|
|
particular file ID being closed, instead of operating on all open
|
|
|
|
|
file IDs for a given file. QAK - 2005/06/01
|
2005-05-25 05:00:16 +08:00
|
|
|
- For family driver, the library didn't save member size in file.
|
|
|
|
|
When file is reopened, the size of 1st member file determine the
|
|
|

member size. Now member size is saved in file and is used to
|
|
|
|
|
define member file size. Wrong file access property of member size
|
|
|
|
|
will result in a failure. Using any other driver except family
|
|
|
|

will cause library to return error. So is multi driver. SLU -

|
- Fixed a racing condition in MPIPOSIX virtual file drive close
|
|
|
|
|
function. Now all processes must completed the close before any
|
|
|
|
|
of them is returned. This prevents some "faster" processes start
|
|
|
|
|
accessing the file for another purpose (e.g., open with truncate)
|
|
|
|
|
while other "slower" processes have not closed the same file with
|
|
|
|
|
the previous purpose. AKC - 2005/03/01

- H5Tget_member_value calls for enum datatype didn't return correct
|

2005-02-09 02:30:29 +08:00
|
|
|
- For variable-length string, H5Tget_class returned H5T_STRING as its
|
|
|
|
|
class. But H5Tdetect_class and H5Tget_member_class considered it
|
|
|
|
|
as H5T_VLEN. This is fixed to let all these 3 functions treat it
|
|
|
|

as H5T_STRING. SLU - 2005/02/08

- Fixed parallel bug in which some processes attempted collective
|
|
|

- 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

|
|

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
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
2005-03-20 09:32:35 +08:00
|
|
|
- Optimized I/O for enumerated datatypes that are a superset of source
|
|
|
|
|
enumerated datatype. QAK - 2005/03/19
|
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.

Known Problems
|
2000-03-24 05:34:06 +08:00
|
|
|
==============
|
2005-09-01 00:05:40 +08:00
|
|
|
* On IRIX6.5, when C compiler version >7.4, the complicate MPI derived data type
|
|
|
|
|
code will work. However, the user should be aware to enlarge MPI_TYPE_MAX environment
|
|
|
|
|
variable to some certian value in order to use collective irregular selection code.
|
|
|
|
|
For example, the current parallel HDF5 test needs to enlarge MPI_TYPE_MAX to
|
|
|
|
|
200,000 to make the test pass.
|
2005-07-09 01:18:35 +08:00
|
|
|
* The dataset created or rewritten with the v1.6.3 library or after can't
|
|
|
|
|
be read with the v1.6.2 library or before when Fletcher32 EDC(filter) is
|
|
|
|
|
enabled. There was a bug in the calculating code of the Fletcher32
|
|
|
|
|
checksum in the library before v1.6.3. The checksum value wasn't consistent
|
|
|
|
|
between big-endian and little-endian systems. This bug was fixed in
|
|

Release 1.6.3. However, after fixing the bug, the checksum value is no
|
|
|
|
|
longer the same as before on little-endian system. The library release
|
|
|
|
|
after 1.6.4 can still read the dataset created or rewritten with the library
|
|
|
|
|
of v1.6.2 or before. SLU - 2005/6/30

|
* For the version 6(6.02 and 6.04) of Portland Group compiler on AMD Opteron
|
|
|
|
|
processor, there's a bug in the compiler for optimization(-O2). The library
|
|
|
|
|
failed in several tests but all related to multi driver. The problem has
|
|
|
|
|
been reported to the vendor.

|
|
* 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.

* The C++ library's tests fails when compiling with PGI C++ compiler. The
|
|
|
|
|
workaround until the problem is correctly handled is to use the
|
|
|
|
|
flag "--instantiate=local" prior to the configure and build steps, as:
|
|
|
|
|
setenv CXX "pgCC --instantiate=local" for pgCC 5.02 and higher
|
|
|
|
|
setenv CXX "pgCC -tlocal" for others

|
|
|
* 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:

2004-07-30 05:08:16 +08:00
|
|
|
* 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)

|
|
|
|
2002-05-10 00:55:04 +08:00
|
|
|
* 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,"
|
2001-03-29 05:33:01 +08:00
|
|
|
|
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.
