Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
modi4 dies during build with strange errors.
The root cause of these is a two-year-old hack in HDF5's libtool
script that only takes effect on IRIX.
Solution:
Edited the libtool hack (by editing ltmain.sh) to correct a bug in
the hack.
Also made sure that compiler-specific DEFAULT_LIBS are used
when linking.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, copper, modi4, sol
Bug fix
Description:
Arabica exhibited strange errors when linker found wrong versions of
header files. This happened because include directories were
given to linker in the wrong order.
Solution:
Move include directories from AM_CFLAGS variable to INCLUDES
variable to put them before CPPFLAGS variable. Trust me, it works.
This bug may also have contributed to strange errors on other platforms
(kelgia?).
Platforms tested:
copper, sleipnir, arabica.
(h5dump broke while building on arabica, but this happened in
a clean checkout, too).
Bug fix
Description:
pmake (on modi4, for instance) complains about undefined variables
if it is run without the -V flag, which turns those errors to warnings.
Solution:
Added test to configure.in to see if $MAKE will allow Makefiles
with undefined variables. If not, sets -V flag in AM_MAKEFLAGS.
Ensured that all custom make targets use AM_MAKEFLAGS.
Also defined all variables that caused errors in top-level Makefile.am.
This means that pmake can be used to build hdf5 *from the top level
only*. To run make from a subdirectory, still need to use -V flag
(or use make or gmake).
Platforms tested:
modi4, heping, copper, sleipnir
Correction to previous print_manager_output bugfix
Description:
Although the previous bugfix did fix all the errors, it was not the correct way
to fix the problem. Since the manager will only buffer output when run in
parallel mode, in serial mode this function should not even be called.
Solution:
Wrapped print_manager_output in #define's to prevent it from being included in
serial builds.
Platforms tested:
heping (serial + parallel)
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
g++ was not happy with missing protocols of external functions.
Added print_manager_output(void) and phdiff_dismiss_workers(void)
to the public declarations.
Platforms tested:
Tested in sleipnir (g++) and heping (serial, pp)
Misc. update:
Purpose:
bug fix, new test file
Description:
h5dump was not properly displaying array indices > 3D
Solution:
added the same algorythm and data structure that h5diff uses to calculate the array index
from a element number position
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
Misc. update:
Bug fix.
Description:
print_manager_output was missing because it was compiled in
only parallel mode.
Solution:
Made it available all the times.
Platforms tested:
h5committested. (testph5diff.sh failed in copper but that
is a different error.)
Also tested in heping, serial and pp.
Misc. update:
Fixed numerous ph5diff bugs.
Description:
Fixed manager output printing
Fixed out of order output printing
Fixed test script execution problem
Temporary fix for large amounts of output overflowing buffer.
Solution:
The manager task buffers its output. However, since the manager task
never gets a print token, this output was lost. Solution: new function called
print_manager_output that prints buffered output is called in places where the
manager buffers its output.
printf was apparently buffering output. This means that a task would sometimes
print even after it had given up its print token. Added fflush() call after
printf() calls, which seems to have fixed the problem.
calling rsh multiple times in succession seems to overwhelm something in Linux,
as it begins to refuse new connections until the old ones reset. Since each
call to mpirun in the test script starts up 4 rsh sessions, the test script
eventually is unable to run any further tests. Solution: Added a short delay in the
testscript between successive calls to mpirun to allow old connections to reset.
The 10k output buffer was of insufficient size to hold the large amounts of
output generated by some of the tests. Since code to buffer to a file has not
been implemented yet, a temporary fix was to increase the size of the output
buffer to 50k.
Platforms tested:

Misc. update:
Feature
Description:
Added a new function, phdiff_dismiss_workers, which tells the phdiff
worker processes to end.
Platforms tested:
Tested in heping, serial and parallel.
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Parallel builds were breaking in tools/lib
Solution:
talign didn't realize it depended on libh5tools.la because its
dependencies listed the full path (../../tools/lib/libh5tools.la).
Changed this, and made similar changes in a couple of other
directories.
This checkin should also add the --foreign flag to every Makefile.in
Platforms tested:
sleipnir (minor change)
New feature
Description:
Add basic code for new B-tree implementation. They don't do much yet,
aren't hooked up to anything yet and the format may change, but I'd like to
start getting them into the daily tests.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Too minor to require h5committest
Bug Fix
Description:
Permanent fix for the incompatibilities between h5diff and h5repack.
Solution:
h5diff now contains the code to run both parallel and serial diffs.
Depending on how the binary is called, it will run either the serial or
the parallel versions respectively.
Platforms tested:
heping(serial + parallel), copper.
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Found the permanant fix to automake/CVS dependency problem
Solution:
Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE macro to configure.in.
Now automake will never try to regenerate Makefiles, Makefiles.in,
configure, H5config.h, etc. when they are out of date, nor will it
print any warnings.
Developers should be very very careful to use reconfigure script,
and can add --enable-maintainer-mode flag to configure on heping
to regenerate these files correctly.
Platforms tested:
heping sleipnir copper
Bug fix
Description:
Configuration files' timestamps were incorrect.
Solution:
Update Makefiles.in. Also added correct paths to autotools on heping,
so heping build should be able to re-generate configuration files even
if they are still broken.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir
Bug fix
Description:
Dependencies between configure files (aclocal, configure.in, configure,
Makefiles.am and .in) are still causing Makefiles to try to run autotools
during build.
Solution:
Committed all Makefiles.in to update their timestamps.
As a temporary measure, forcibly prevented automake from running
autotools during build by redefining the variables it uses.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir (No changes to Makefile content)
Bug fix
Description:
Different compilers use different flags to include Fortran module files
Solution:
Changed boilerplate to use configure variable rather than hardcoded -M flag.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, sol, copper
fix bugs.
Description:
The three variables, g_nTasks, outBuff, and outBuffOffset, were
declared in ph5diff.h. That means they are declared in various
*.c files that include it, thus having the appearance of multiple
defined. Most C compilers are forgiving of this error but
the g++ rejects this practice.
Solution:
Make it only an extern declaration in ph5diff.h but really
defined them in h5diff_util.c
Platforms tested:
sleipnir using g++ since this only failed in Daily test.
Also testes in heping, serial and parallel modes.
Configuration feature
Description:
HDF5 now uses automake to generate Makefiles
Solution:
Makefile.in files are now generated from Makefile.am files.
To reconfigure (after chaning a Makefile.am or configure.in):
/bin/sh bin/reconfigure.sh
Platforms tested:
Many
Temporary daily tests fix.
Description:
The newly added ph5diff is not quite compatible with the h5repack tool.
Disabled the ph5diff build (reverted back to building serial h5diff)
to allow daily tests to work while ph5diff is fixed.
Platforms tested:
Tested in heping both serial and parallel modes.
Misc. update:
Description:
the print_paralell h5diff function had a call to vsnprintf.
this causes a linking error on Windows
Solution:
replaced with HDvsnprintf
Platforms tested:
windows (vs6)
linux
Misc. update:
Bug fix: Temporary fix for h5repack failures in all parallel builds.
Description:
The parallel additions to h5diff interfered with h5repack.
Solution:
Added a second set of "parallel" functions to h5diff.c. h5repack uses the serial versions, whereas h5diff will use the parallel versions.
Also, h5diff will now be smart about when to enter parallel mode. If is run with mpirun with more than 1 task, it will enter parallel mode. Otherwise, it will stay in serial mode as before.
Platforms tested:
heping (serial and parallel)
Misc. update:
New feature.
Description:
Added new tool ph5diff. (Code done by Leon Arber.)
Code is changed but test is not working yet. For now,
it skipped all tests.
Platforms tested:
Tested in heping, serial and parallel modes.
Remove feature
Description:
Retire threaded, balanced binary tree code from HDF5 use. Requiescat in
pace...
Also, regenerate dependencies files.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Too minor to require full h5committesting (the code is already
disconnected from everything except its tests)
Bug Fix/Code Cleanup/Doc Cleanup/Optimization/Branch Sync :-)
Description:
Generally speaking, this is the "signed->unsigned" change to selections.
However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier
until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation. So... I
brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the
release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in
performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch,
but not the other.
I've also tagged the repository before making this checkin with the label
"before_signed_unsigned_changes".
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel & fphdf5

Misc. update:
enhanced performance for h5diff
Description:
the comparison cycle for the 2 buffers read from file was using a compare function
where the type must be checked for each datum (e.g due to recursive calls in compound types)
for atomic types this checking can be avoided
Solution:
introduced cycles for each one of the atomic integer and float class types
Platforms tested:

Misc. update:
Description: H5Pset_fapl_family sets family member size only for creating
new file. The file doesn't keep this size information. When the file is
re-opened, the size of first member file is used as the member size.
Solution: Assume user knows the original member size and sets it through
H5Pset_fapl_family. That will be the member size. User can pass in value 0
as member size if he doesn't know the original member size. Library will
choose the size of current first member size as the member file size.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Fix SZIP filter to dynmically detect encoder.
Description:
Solution:
See:
http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/RFC/SZIP/Szip_dynamic_12_Oct.pdf
Changes to h5repack tests, contingent on detecting SZIP encoder.
Note new program:
testh5repack_detect_szip
Checks fo rencoder, prints out "yes" or "no". Used by hrepack.sh
to detect encoder. Can also be used for windows tests. This is
only used as part of the tests.
Had to modify Makefile to build and clean this program.
Make talign work on windows.
Description:

bug fixes
Description:
the return error code for a function was not initialized.
in HP-UX it happened that this variable was initialized to -1
causing the function to return with an error condtion
solution : initialized the variable to 0

print the name of dataset and differences
in verbose mode always print the name first
Solution:

Misc. update:
h5diff and h5repack changes
Description:
h5diff
introduced the following four modes of output:
Normal mode: print the number of differences found and where they occured
Report mode: print the above plus the differences
Verbose mode: print the above plus a list of objects and warnings
Quiet mode: do not print output (h5diff always returns an exit code of 1 when differences are found)
h5repack
added an extra parameter for SZIP filter (coding method)
the new syntax is
-f SZIP=<pixels per block,coding>
(pixels per block is a even number in 2-32 and coding method is 'EC' or 'NN')
Example of use:
./h5repack -i file1 -o file2 -f SZIP=8,NN -v
updated usage messages, test scripts and files accordingly
Solution:

Misc. update:
h5repack changes
Description:
there were some requests to change some minor h5repack features
h5repack only made a warning about a non available filter in verbose mode ( -v )
without -v it kept silent, and users sometimes missed this warning
the request was that it should print this warning always. so, the new format, is e.g
./h5repack -i test_szip.h5 -o out.h5
Warning: dataset </dset_szip> cannot be read, SZIP filter is not available
due to this, and to avoid a lot of these messages in the shell test script, I modified
the script h5repack.sh so that it detects the presence of all filters in the environment
(previously it only detected SZIP)
the test files were also divided in more files , to make the script code easier to
follow

Purpose:
HDF5 now supports SZIP with no encoder.
Description:
SZIP can be configured to have both encoder and decoder or just to have the decoder. HDF5 can now query the configuration of any filter, and will throw errors if users try to write using a filter with encoding disabled.
Solution:
Added H5Zget_filter_info function, changed API for H5Pget_filter and H5P_get_filter_by_id. See SZIP RFC.
