Bug
Description:
The testh5toh4 was removing all .h5 files from the testfiles
directory, however, with the addition of testh4toh5, we need some
.h5 files in there.
Solution:
Changed the scripts so that an output directory is created for
all of the processed files. This is removed after the test is
finished.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug fix and feature
Description:
It could not find a working h5dump to process the hdf5 files.
This could be because h5dump is not installed in $PATH or
a disfunctional one is found. (E.g. arabica:/usr/sdt/bin/h5dump
does not work.)
Setting it to ./h5dump or $PWD/h5dump does not work because
when h5dump is used, it has "cd testfiles", a different place.
Solution:
Set H5DUMP with the current absolute path (used `pwd` instead
of $PWD which is sometimes not set for whatever reason.)
Also add a feature to allow H5DUMP to be set to a different
value by hand. For example, if the h5dump just built is not
working correctly, one can do "H5DUMP=/usr/local/bin/h5dump make check"
to bypass the broken h5dump.
Platforms tested:
arabica
Purpose:
add h4toh5 converter source codes under tools directory.
Description:
[describe the bug, or describe the new feature, etc]
Solution:
[details about the changes, algorithm, etc...]
[Please as detail as you can since your own explanation is
better than others guessing it from the code.]
Platforms tested:
[machines you have tested the changed version. This is absolute
important. Test it out on at least two or three different platforms
such as Big-endian-32bit (SUN/IRIX), little-endian-32(LINUX) and
64-bit (IRIX64/UNICOS/DEC-ALPHA) would be good.]
