New Features
============
Configuration:
-------------
2018-03-10 02:49:26 +08:00
- CMake
Change minimum version to 3.10.
This change removes the need to support a copy of the FindMPI.cmake module,
which has been removed, along with its subfolder in the config/cmake_ext_mod
location.
(ADB - 2018/03/09)
- CMake
Add pkg-config file generation
Added pkg-config file generation for the C, C++, HL, and HL C++ libraries.
In addition, builds on linux will create h5cXXX scripts that use the pkg-config
files. This is a limited implementation of a script like autotools h5cc.
(ADB - 2018/03/08, HDFFV-4359)
- CMake
Refactor use of CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE for new variable, which understands
the type of generator in use.
2018-01-20 00:49:17 +08:00
Added new configuration macros to use new HDF_BUILD_TYPE variable. This
variable is set correctly for the type of generator being used for the build.
(ADB - 2018/01/08, HDFFV-10385, HDFFV-10296)
Library:
--------
- Add prefix option to VDS files.
Currently, VDS source files must be in the active directory to be
found by the virtual file. Adding the option of a prefix to be set
on the virtual file, using a data access property list (DAPL),
allows the source files to located at an absolute or relative path
to the virtual file.
Private utility functions in H5D and H5L packages merged into single
function in H5F package.
New public APIs:
herr_t H5Pset_virtual_prefix(hid_t dapl_id, const char* prefix);
ssize_t H5Pget_virtual_prefix(hid_t dapl_id, char* prefix /*out*/, size_t size);
The prefix can also be set with an environment variable, HDF5_VDS_PREFIX.
(ADB - 2017/12/12, HDFFV-9724, HDFFV-10361)
Parallel Library:
-----------------
- Optimize parallel open/location of the HDF5 super-block
Previous releases of PHDF5 required all parallel ranks to
search for the HDF5 superblock signature when opening the
file. As this is accomplished more or less as a synchronous
operation, a large number of processes can experience a
slowdown in the file open due to filesystem contention.
As a first step in improving the startup/file-open performance,
we allow MPI rank 0 of the associated MPI communicator to locate
the base offset of the super-block and then broadcast that result
to the remaining ranks in the parallel group. Note that this
approach is utilized ONLY during file opens which employ the MPIO
file driver in HDF5 by previously having called H5Pset_fapl_mpio().
HDF5 parallel file operations which do not employ multiple ranks
2017-10-26 03:06:44 +08:00
e.g. specifiying MPI_COMM_SELF (whose MPI_Comm_size == 1)
as opposed to MPI_COMM_WORLD, will not be affected by this
optimization. Conversely, parallel file operations on subgroups
of MPI_COMM_WORLD are allowed to be run in parallel with each
subgroup operating as an independant collection of processes.
2017-10-26 23:44:09 +08:00
(RAW - 2017/10/10, HDFFV-10294)
- Large MPI-IO transfers
Previous releases of PHDF5 would fail when attempting to
read or write greater than 2GB of data in a single IO operation.
This issue stems principally from an MPI API whose definitions
utilize 32 bit integers to describe the number of data elements
and datatype that MPI should use to effect a data transfer.
Historically, HDF5 has invoked MPI-IO with the number of
elements in a contiguous buffer represented as the length
of that buffer in bytes.
Resolving the issue and thus enabling larger MPI-IO transfers
is accomplished first, by detecting when a user IO request would
exceed the 2GB limit as described above. Once a transfer request
is identified as requiring special handling, PHDF5 now creates a
derived datatype consisting of a vector of fixed sized blocks
which is in turn wrapped within a single MPI_Type_struct to
contain the vector and any remaining data. The newly created
datatype is then used in place of MPI_BYTE and can be used to
fulfill the original user request without encountering API
errors.

(ADB - 2017/12/20)
Tools:
------
- h5diff
h5diff has new option enable-error-stack.
Updated h5diff with the --enable-error-stack argument, which
enables the display of the hdf5 error stack. This completes the
improvement to the main tools; h5copy, h5diff, h5dump, h5ls and
h5repack.

Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.10.1 release
==================================
Library
-------
- H5Pset_evict_on_close in H5Pfapl.c
Changed the minor error number from H5E_CANTSET to H5E_UNSUPPORTED for
parallel library.
2018-03-08 00:53:07 +08:00
(ADB - 2018/03/6, HDFFV-10414)
2018-03-08 01:41:49 +08:00
- Utility function can not handle lowercase Windows drive letters
Added call to toupper function for drive letter.
(ADB - 2017/12/18, HDFFV-10307)
2017-11-16 23:04:50 +08:00
- filter plugin handling in H5PL.c and H5Z.c
It was discovered that the dynamic loading process used by
2017-11-18 04:02:07 +08:00
filter plugins had issues with library dependencies.
2017-11-16 23:04:50 +08:00
CMake build process changed to use LINK INTERFACE keywords, which
allowed HDF5 C library to make dependent libraries private. The
filter plugin libraries no longer require dependent libraries
(such as szip or zlib) to be available.
(ADB - 2017/11/16, HDFFV-10328)
- H5Zfilter_avail in H5Z.c
The public function checked for plugins, while the private
function did not.
Modified H5Zfilter_avail and private function, H5Z_filter_avail.
Moved check for plugin from public to private function. Updated
H5P__set_filter due to change in H5Z_filter_avail. Updated tests.
2017-11-01 00:18:09 +08:00
(ADB - 2017/10/10, HDFFV-10297, HDFFV-10319)
- An uninitialized struct could cause a memory access error when using
variable-length or reference types in a compressed, chunked dataset.
A struct containing a callback function pointer and a pointer to some
associated data was used before initialization. This could cause a
memory access error and system crash. This could only occur under
unusual conditions when using variable-lenth and reference types in
a compressed, chunked dataset.
On recent versions of Visual Studio, when built in debug mode, the
debug heap will complain and cause a crash if the code in question
is executed (this will cause the objcopy test to fail).
(DER - 2017/11/21, HDFFV-10330)
2018-02-27 04:22:32 +08:00
- If an HDF5 file contains a filter pipeline message with a 'number of
filters' field that exceeds the maximum number of allowed filters,
the error handling code will attempt to dereference a NULL pointer.
This issue was reported to The HDF Group as issue #CVE-2017-17505.
NOTE: The HDF5 C library cannot produce such a file. This condition
should only occur in a corrupt (or deliberately altered) file
or a file created by third-party software.
This problem arose because the error handling code assumed that
the 'number of filters' field implied that a dynamic array of that
size had already been created and that the cleanup code should
iterate over that array and clean up each element's resources. If
an error occurred before the array has been allocated, this will
not be true.
This has been changed so that the number of filters is set to
zero on errors. Additionally, the filter array traversal in the
error handling code now requires that the filter array not be NULL.
(DER - 2018/02/06, HDFFV-10354)
2018-02-27 10:31:40 +08:00
- If an HDF5 file contains a filter pipeline message which contains
a 'number of filters' field that exceeds the actual number of
filters in the message, the HDF5 C library will read off the end of
the read buffer.
This issue was reported to The HDF Group as issue #CVE-2017-17506.
NOTE: The HDF5 C library cannot produce such a file. This condition
should only occur in a corrupt (or deliberately altered) file
or a file created by third-party software.
The problem was fixed by passing the buffer size with the buffer
and ensuring that the pointer cannot be incremented off the end
of the buffer. A mismatch between the number of filters declared
and the actual number of filters will now invoke normal HDF5
error handling.
(DER - 2018/02/26, HDFFV-10355)
2018-02-27 12:16:13 +08:00
- If an HDF5 file contains a malformed compound type which contains
a member of size zero, a division by zero error will occur while
processing the type.
This issue was reported to The HDF Group as issue #CVE-2017-17508.
NOTE: The HDF5 C library cannot produce such a file. This condition
should only occur in a corrupt (or deliberately altered) file
or a file created by third-party software.
Checking for zero before dividing fixes the problem. Instead of the
division by zero, the normal HDF5 error handling is invoked.
(DER - 2018/02/26, HDFFV-10357)
2018-03-13 08:56:54 +08:00
- If an HDF5 file contains a malformed symbol table node that declares
it contains more symbols than it actually contains, the library
can run off the end of the metadata cache buffer while processing
the symbol table node.
This issue was reported to The HDF Group as issue #CVE-2017-17509.
NOTE: The HDF5 C library cannot produce such a file. This condition
should only occur in a corrupt (or deliberately altered) file
or a file created by third-party software.
Performing bounds checks on the buffer while processing fixes the
problem. Instead of the segmentation fault, the normal HDF5 error
handling is invoked.
(DER - 2018/03/12, HDFFV-10358)
Configuration
-------------
2018-01-10 22:39:50 +08:00
- CMake
2018-02-01 23:42:14 +08:00
Update CMake commands configuration.
A number of improvements were made to the CMake commands. Most
changes simplify usage or eliminate unused constructs. Also,
some changes support better cross-platform support.
(ADB - 2018/02/01, HDFFV-10398)
- CMake
Correct usage of CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE variable.
2018-01-10 22:39:50 +08:00
The use of the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is incorrect for multi-config
generators (Visual Studio and XCode) and is optional for single
config generators. Created a new macro to check
GLOBAL PROPERTY -> GENERATOR_IS_MULTI_CONFIG
2018-01-20 00:49:17 +08:00
Created two new HDF variable, HDF_BUILD_TYPE and HDF_CFG_BUILD_TYPE.
2018-01-10 22:39:50 +08:00
Defaults for these variables is "Release".
(ADB - 2018/01/10, HDFFV-10385)
- CMake
Add replacement of fortran flags if using static CRT.
Added TARGET_STATIC_CRT_FLAGS call to HDFUseFortran.cmake file in
config/cmake_ext_mod folder.
(ADB - 2018/01/08, HDFFV-10334)
- CMake
2017-11-15 05:32:08 +08:00
The hdf5 library used shared szip and zlib, which needlessly required
applications to link with the same szip and zlib libraries.
Changed the target_link_libraries commands to use the static libs.
Removed improper link duplication of szip and zlib.
Adjusted the link dependencies and the link interface values of
the target_link_libraries commands.
(ADB - 2017/11/14, HDFFV-10329)
- CMake MPI
2017-11-02 23:07:58 +08:00
CMake implementation for MPI was problematic and would create incorrect
MPI library references in the hdf5 libraries.
Reworked the CMake MPI code to properly create CMake targets. Also merged
2017-11-02 23:07:58 +08:00
the latest CMake FindMPI.cmake changes to the local copy. This is necessary
until HDF changes the CMake minimum to 3.9 or greater.
(ADB - 2017/11/02, HDFFV-10321)
- CMake
2017-07-13 03:23:00 +08:00
2017-07-14 02:36:48 +08:00
Too many commands for POST_BUILD step caused command line to be
2017-07-13 03:23:00 +08:00
too big on windows.
Changed foreach of copy command to use a custom command with the
use of the HDFTEST_COPY_FILE macro.
(ADB - 2017/07/12, HDFFV-10254)
Performance
-------------
-
2017-03-21 02:32:26 +08:00
Fortran
--------
2017-11-03 22:10:26 +08:00
- Fixed compilation errors when using Intel 18 Fortran compilers
(MSB - 2017/11/3, HDFFV-10322)
Tools
-----
- h5repack
h5repack changes the chunk parameters when a change of layout is not
specified and a filter is applied.
HDFFV-10297, HDFFV-10319 reworked code for h5repack and h5diff code
in the tools library. The check for an existing layout was incorrectly
placed into an if block and not executed. The check was moved into
the normal path of the function.
(ADB - 2018/02/21, HDFFV-10412)
2018-02-16 06:58:51 +08:00
- h5dump
the tools library will hide the error stack during file open.
While this is preferable almost always, there are reasons to enable
display of the error stack when a tool will not open a file. Adding an
optional argument to the --enable-error-stack will provide this use case.
As an optional argument it will not affect the operation of the
--enable-error-stack. h5dump is the only tool to implement this change.
(ADB - 2018/02/15, HDFFV-10384)
2018-01-26 00:32:23 +08:00
- h5dump
h5dump would output an indented blank line in the filters section.
2018-01-26 01:16:04 +08:00
h5dump overused the h5tools_simple_prefix function, which is a
2018-01-26 00:32:23 +08:00
function intended to account for the data index (x,y,z) option.
Removed the function call for header information.
(ADB - 2018/01/25, HDFFV-10396)
- h5repack
h5repack incorrectly searched internal object table for name.
h5repack would search the table of objects for a name, if the
name did not match it tried to determine if the name without a
leading slash would match. The logic was flawed! The table
stored names(paths) without a leading slash and did a strstr
of the table path to the name.
The assumption was that if there was a difference of one then
it was a match, however "pressure" would match "/pressure" as
well as "/pressure1", "/pressure2", etc. Changed logic to remove
any leading slash and then do a full compare of the name.
(ADB - 2018/01/18, HDFFV-10393)
- h5repack
h5repack failed to handle more then 9 chars for int conversion.
User defined filter parameter conversions would fail for integers
larger then 9 characters. Increased local variable array for storing
the current command line parameter to prevent buffer overflows.
(ADB - 2018/01/17, HDFFV-10392)
2018-01-05 00:19:21 +08:00
- h5diff
2018-01-05 00:44:02 +08:00
h5diff seg faulted if comparing VL strings against fixed strings.
2018-01-05 00:19:21 +08:00
2018-01-05 00:44:02 +08:00
Reworked solution for HDFFV-8625 and HDFFV-8639. Implemented the check
2018-01-05 00:19:21 +08:00
for string objects of same type in the diff_can_type function by
adding an if(tclass1 == H5T_STRING) block. This if block moves the
same check that was added for attributes to this function, which is
used by all object types. This function also handles complex type
structures.
Also added a new test file in h5diffgenttest for testing this issue
and removed the temporary files used in the test scripts.
(ADB - 2018/01/04, HDFFV-8745)
- h5repack
h5repack failed to copy a dataset with existing filter.
Reworked code for h5repack and h5diff code in tools library. Added
improved error handling, cleanup of resources and checks of calls.
Modified H5Zfilter_avail and private function, H5Z_filter_avail.
Moved check for plugin from public to private function. Updated
H5P__set_filter due to change in H5Z_filter_avail. Updated tests.
2017-10-26 04:10:42 +08:00
Note, h5repack output display has changed to clarify the individual
steps of the repack process. The output indicates if an operation
applies to all objects. Lines with notation and no information
2017-10-26 04:50:07 +08:00
have been removed.
2017-11-01 00:18:09 +08:00
(ADB - 2017/10/10, HDFFV-10297, HDFFV-10319)
- h5repack
h5repack always set the User Defined filter flag to H5Z_FLAG_MANDATORY.
Added another parameter to the 'UD=' option to set the flag by default
to '0' or H5Z_FLAG_MANDATORY, the other choice is '1' or H5Z_FLAG_OPTIONAL.
2017-11-06 23:28:28 +08:00
(ADB - 2017/08/31, HDFFV-10269)
2017-08-21 22:33:54 +08:00
- h5ls
h5ls generated error on stack when it encountered a H5S_NULL
dataspace.
Adding checks for H5S_NULL before calling H5Sis_simple (located
in the h5tools_dump_mem function) fixed the issue.
(ADB - 2017/08/17, HDFFV-10188)
2017-08-02 04:45:17 +08:00
- h5dump
h5dump segfaulted on output of XML file.
Function that escape'd strings used the full buffer length
instead of just the length of the replacement string in a
strncpy call. Using the correct length fixed the issue.
(ADB - 2017/08/01, HDFFV-10256)
2017-07-26 05:58:44 +08:00
- h5diff
h5diff segfaulted on compare of a NULL variable length string.
Improved h5diff compare of strings by adding a check for
NULL strings and setting the lengths to zero.
(ADB - 2017/07/25, HDFFV-10246)
- h5import
h5import crashed trying to import data from a subset of a dataset.
Improved h5import by adding the SUBSET keyword. h5import understands
to use the Count times the Block as the size of the dimensions.
2017-06-16 01:37:07 +08:00
Added INPUT_B_ORDER keyword to old-style configuration files.
The import from h5dump function expects the binary files to use native
types (FILE '-b' option) in the binary file.
2017-07-13 03:23:00 +08:00
(ADB - 2017/06/15, HDFFV-10219)
- h5repack
2017-05-27 00:16:20 +08:00
h5repack did not maintain the creation order flag of the root
group.
2017-05-27 00:16:20 +08:00
Improved h5repack by reading the creation order and applying the
flag to the new root group. Also added arguments to set the
2017-05-27 02:59:00 +08:00
order and index direction, which applies to the traversing of the
original file, on the command line.
(ADB - 2017/05/26, HDFFV-8611)
- h5diff
h5diff failed to account for strpad type and null terminators
of char strings. Also, h5diff failed to account for string length
differences and would give a different result depending on file
order in the command line.
Improved h5diff compare of strings and arrays by adding a check for
string lengths and if the strpad was null filled.

- Memory for three variables in testphdf5's coll_write_test was malloced
but not freed, leaking memory when running the test. The variables'
memory is now freed.

Known Problems
==============
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.

Known problems in previous releases can be found in the HISTORY*.txt files
in the HDF5 source. Please report any new problems found to
