HDFFV-7514 - GMQS: h5dump - improve effectiveness of testing scripts for handling expected output files
Description:
Fist phase for h5dump test update. Next phase will be for h5ls.
This is prerequisite for 'HDFFV-7602 Tools - upgrade tools' test scripts to share test files among tools, providing framework for test file re-usability.'
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), heiwa (linuxppc64-BE), linew (solaris-BE), Windows (32-LE), Cmake (jam)
New version of the function h5tools_dump_simple_subset, to display subsetting. The new algorithm is:
Introduced an outer loop for cases where dimensionality is greater
than 2D. In each iteration a 2D block is displayed by rows in a inner
loop. The remainning slower dimensions above the first 2 are incremented
one at a time in the outer loop
Note: when blocks are introduced, the display is not correct. This is a bug that requires an improvement of the algorithm.
Fix several bugs
1) the parsing of subsetting was using atoi to convert the parameter to an int, which caused problems for numbers greater that int. Substitute with atof
2) the printing of indices in the subsetting case was not being done. Solution: calculate the element position at the start of the subsetting using the algorythm
Given an index I(z,y,x) its position from the beginning of an array of sizes A(size_z, size_y,size_x) is given by
Position of I(z,y,x) = index_z * size_y * size_x
+ index_y * size_x
+ index_x
And pass that position to the function that dumps data, h5tools_dump_simple_data.
3) several index counters were declared as int, use hsize_t instead
4) modified the test generation program so that it includes test cases for subsetting of 1d, 2d, 3d, and 4d arrays and add these tests to the shell script
bug fix
Description:
when printing array indices , the calculation of the current column was not done correctly
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
AIX
solaris
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
the indentation was not made properly for nested objects when printing array indices
Solution:
added the indentation to h5tools_simple_prefix function
Platforms tested:
linux
AIX
solaris
Misc. update:
h5dump new feature, bug fix
Description:
added the dump of unmamed types to the file contents
fixed a bug in the type array, it was printing invalid characters with the array indices option on
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
AIX
solaris
Misc. update:
dumper new features
Description:
1) added options for not printing : datasets, groups, datatypes, links
2) added a section for the user block
3) in the traversal routine, added the printing of an arrow for soft links and t
he word HARDLINK for hardlinks
the print of the file contents is made during traversal , instead of at the e
nd of it (this is helpful
for very large files, where the wait time can be very long)
4) changed the description of the fill value properties
5) added a colon after the printing of the array indices

Misc. update:
h5dump new version
Description:
added the changes already made for 1.6
support for dumping of
1) filters
2) storage layout
3) fill value
4) comments
5) superblock
6) file contents
7) array indices
