Tested platform:
Kagiso only since it is only a comment block change. If it works in one
machine, it should work in all, I hope. Still need to check the parallel
build on copper.
New feature
Description:
Check in baseline for compact group revisions, which radically revises the
source code for managing groups and object headers.
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
This initiates the "unstable" phase of the 1.7.x branch, leading up
to the 1.8.0 release. Please test this code, but do _NOT_ keep files created
with it - the format will change again before the release and you will not
be able to read your old files!!!

Solution:
There's too many changes to really describe them all, but some of them
include:
- Stop abusing the H5G_entry_t structure and split it into two separate
structures for non-symbol table node use within the library: H5O_loc_t
for object locations in a file and H5G_name_t to store the path to
an opened object. H5G_entry_t is now only used for storing symbol
table entries on disk.
- Retire H5G_namei() in favor of a more general mechanism for traversing
group paths and issuing callbacks on objects located. This gets us out
of the business of hacking H5G_namei() for new features, generally.
- Revised H5O* routines to take a H5O_loc_t instead of H5G_entry_t
- Lots more...
Platforms tested:
h5committested and maybe another dozen configurations.... :-)
Update
Description:
Changed
#include <hdf_file.h>
construct to
#include "hdf_file.h"
so that the GNU compiler can more easily pick up the dependencies
which it places in the .depend and Dependencies files. Also
regenerated the Dependencies to go along with this.
Platforms tested:
Linux
----------------------
./RELEASE
Updated with important changes I made since the second beta.
./src/H5A.c
./src/H5D.c
./src/H5Dprivate.h
./src/H5G.c
./src/H5Gprivate.h
./src/H5R.c
./src/H5Rprivate.h
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tprivate.h
Any API function that used to take an `hid_t loc_id' followed
by a `const char *name' can now take any type of object for
the loc_id as long as the object is somehow associated with a
file. Internally, H5G_loc() was modified to return an
H5G_entry_t* instead of an H5G_t* so it's more general.
Among other things, this allows one to retrieve information
about an object like a named type or dataset without knowing
the name of the type or dataset:
int
get_nlinks (hid_t obj)
{
H5G_stat_t sb;
if (H5Gstat(obj, ".", TRUE, &sb)<0) return -1;
return sb.nlink;
}
./test/gheap.c
./test/istore.c
These files needed a couple of changes because they call some
of the internal functions whose H5G_t arguments changed to
H5G_entry_t.
./src/H5A.c
Got rid of all the switch statements for getting symbol table
entries for varous objects and replaced them with a call to
H5G_loc() allowing attributes to automatically apply to any
type of object that belongs to a file.
./test/Makefile.in
Moved the ragged array tests from the normal list of tests to
the `make timings' target.
./test/ragged.c
Added rewrite tests -- rewrite the rows of a dataset changing
the number of rows and the length of each row.
./test/mtime.c
Added a test that checks that H5Gstat() can be called with a
dataset as the first argument.
./src/H5S.c
Added #ifdef HAVE_PARALLEL around code to check for the
HDF5_MPI_OPT_TYPES environment variable because the global
variable that gets set is #ifdef'd.
./bin/release
bzip2 uses .bz2 as the file extension.
----------------------
./MANIFEST
./src/H5R.c [NEW]
./src/H5Rprivate.h [NEW]
./src/H5Rpublic.h [NEW]
./src/Makefile.in
./src/hdf5.h
./test/ragged.c [NEW]
Preliminary support for 2d ragged arrays for Mark Miller and
Jim Reus. Not fully implemented yet. The test is not actually
part of `make test' because we still have some memory problems.
./src/H5E.c
./src/H5Epublic.h
Added H5E_RAGGED as a major error number.
./bin/release
Checks the MANIFEST file against `svf ls' on systems that have
it.
./bin/trace
Fixed a bug that caused arguments of type `void *x[]' to not
be handled.
./src/H5.c
Removed unused variables and changed a couple types to
fix compiler warnings.
Added tracing support for ragged array object ID's and arrays
of pointers.
./src/H5D.c
H5Dcreate() will complain if either of the property lists are
invalid (instead of using the default).
./src/H5D.c
./src/H5Dprivate.h
Split H5Dget_space() into an API and internal function so it
can be called from the new ragged array layer.
./src/H5Fistore.c
Fixed warnings about unsigned vs. signed comparisons.
./src/H5Flow.c
Fixed a warning about a variable being shadowed in the MPI-IO
stuff.
./src/H5Iprivate.h
./src/H5Ipublic.h
Added the H5_RAGGED atom group.
./src/H5Shyper.c
Fixed some freeing-free-memory errors that resulted when
certain arrays were freed but the pointers were left in the
data structures. I simply set the pointers to null after they
were freed.
./src/H5Sprivate.h
./src/H5Sselect.c
Split the H5Sselect_hyperslab() function into an API and a
private function so it could be called from the ragged array
layer.
Added H5S_SEL_ERROR and H5S_SEL_N to the switch statements to
get rid or compiler warnings.
./src/H5Tconv.c
Removed a misleading comment.
./test/bittests.c
Fixed a warning about a printf().
./test/cmpd_dset.c
Fixed warnings about unused variables because of test #11
being commented out.
./bin/trace
Shortened the right margin for the output to allow room for
the `);' at the end of the TRACE() macros.
