Porting to AIX 5.x
Description:
These have been tested out in v1.4. Folding them in here.
aclocal.m4:
Snow's names were not included in the special hack.
Added its names in.
Removed the trailing * in pacific.llnl.gov too.
configure.in:
fortran/configure.in:
Added a case to group all AIX 5.* versions as aix5.x. This allows
them to share one common config/*aix5.x file.
configure:
fortran/configure:
Derived from configure.in (done in eirene).
config/powerpc-ibm-aix4.x:
Added a comment explaining why not to cache sizeof size_t and off_t
fortran/config/powerpc-ibm-aix4.x:
Turned of cache of sizeof size_t and off_t because they are depedent
on compiler options.
config/powerpc-ibm-aix5.x:
fortran/config/powerpc-ibm-aix5.x:
New config file for AIX 5.X
Platforms tests:
LLNL Blue, Frost, Snow, both serial and parallel.
Bug Fix
Description:
Was nulling out the RUNPARALLEL and other macros which shouldn't be
nulled out.
Solution:
Removed the code which does the nulling out of those macros.
Purpose:
Code clean up.
Description:
Many F90 compilers were not happy about character*(*) declarations.
Solution:
Used F90 character(len=*) declarations.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7 and Linux 2.4
Code cleanup
Description:
While working on the "External test" failure I restructured and
cleaned up some C stub code.
Platforms tested:
dangermouse (Linux 2.4)
Bug Fix
Description:
On Linux 2.4 kernel, we need to check for Linux LFS support. There
was a failure in the Fortran code when we tried to pass a 4 byte off_t
variable to a function which expected an 8 byte off_t. This is due to
there being no check for the LFS support in the Fortran code.
Solution:
Added the check for Linux LFS support.
Platforms tested:
Elena will test on Linux platform...
Bug Fix
Description:
Put quotes around some variables so that the shell script doesn't
complain to us about "too many arguements" for a test.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Bug#670 fix
Description:
dims parameter to the h5dwrite_f, h5dread_f, h5awrite_f and h5aread_f
subroutines was declared as INTEGER array of size 7 (max number of dimensions
in Fortran). Users could not use the same buffer dims as an argument to
the h5screate_simple_f subroutine since it should be an array of size = RANK
and type INTEGER(HSIZE_T).
Solution:
Overload subroutines with dims parameter to be assumed size array of
INTEGER(HSIZE_T) type for backward compatibility.
Subroutine with the INTEGER dims argument should be depricated in 1.6 release
Platforms tested:
Windows, Solaris2.7, IRIX64-6.5
Update
Description:
Changed so that the Fortran and C++ configures are named "HDF5
Fortran" and "HDF5 C++" resp. instead of just "HDF5.
Solution:
Add an extra parameter to the subroutine which generates the new
configure.in files.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Maintenance
Description:
Changed code to use H5_HAVE_MPI_MULTI_LANG_* definitions and
H5pubconf_fortran.h include file.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Let's daily tests do this work. I have to leave now.
Update
Description:
Added a conversion of the H5config_fortran.h file to
H5pubconf_fortran.h so as to keep with the HDF5 format of using H5_
as a prefix for HAVE_* macros.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Update
Description:
Updated the h5vers script to automatically update the configure.in
files so that they reflect the correct version in the AC_INIT line.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
For some unknown to myself reason I used 32-bit integer for INTEGER(HSIZE_T)
on Solaris platforms when 64-bit integers are available for both C and Fortran.
Solution:
Use long long type to describe h(s)size_t_f types
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7 ans 2.6
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
For some unknown to myself reason I used 32-bit integer for INTEGER(HSIZE_T)
on Solaris platforms when 64-bit integers are available for both C and Fortran.
Solution:
Use the proper KIND argument to define INTEGER(HSIZE_T)
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7 ans 2.6
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Different MPI implementations use different ways to
pass MPI objects between C and Fortran layers. MPI-2 defines
a standard set of MPI_*_c2f(f2c) functions for this purpose.
Unfortunately it is not implemented everywhere and makes
code non-portable between different parallel platforms.
Solution:
Always use MPI_*c2f(f2c) functions in our code. Configure
finds out if those functions are available. If not, then we define
macros to immulate those functions.
Platforms tested:
IRIX64-6.5 (modi4) and SP3 (seaborg.nersc.gov). On those platforms
functions do not exist and we use macros. Bill will test on
HPUX System V (SDSC machine) to check if this works when functions
are defined. Preliminary testing showed that it worked.
Fix
Description:
When doing a TRY_LINK, the compiler complained about lack of
parameters being passed to the function.
Solution:
Added the parameter it wants...
Update
Description:
Updated the way we used the AC_INIT macros so that it's current to
the new standard way and not deprecated anymore.
Also, added a test for some functions during parallel Fortran
configure. This required the creation of an H5config_fortran.h file
so that we can test for these...
Platforms tested:
Elena is going to test the changes to the fortran after she checks in
her other code. I will test on SDSC machines after getting her code.
The other changes were tested on Linux.
Feature Update
Description:
Modified the AC_OUTPUT macro to coincide with the now-standard way of
doing things. I.e., you put all of the files you want to generate
into the AC_CONFIG_FILES macro and invode AC_OUTPUT with no
parameters.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Autotools Update
Description:
I've updated autoconf, automake, and libtool to the latest/greatest
versions; 2.53, 1.6, and 1.4.2 resp.
Many changes come with the new versions:
- ltconfig is no longer used
- acconfig.h is no longer used (#define values are declared with
the macro)
- regeneration of all of the aclocal.m4, configure, and
H5config.h.in files.
- new config.{guess,sub} files
- new ltmain.sh file
Platforms tested:
AIX (blue), and Linux
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
Parallel Fortran wasn't working on Modi4. The tests for parallel
MPI Fortran were failing to find MPI files.
Solution:
Changed the AC_TRY_FLINK() macro so that libraries are included
at the end of the link line so that unresolved symbols can be
found...
Platforms tested:
Modi4
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
Hrm...When I was restoring the LDFLAGS variable after a failure, I
fergot to put a $ on the saved_LDFLAGS variable during the
assignment.
DOH!
Solution:
Added the $.
Platforms tested:
Modi4
Bug Fix
Description:
I wasn't testing if the Fortran compiler could actually do the MPI
compilation tests.
Solution:
Changed the configure script so that it uses Fortran 90 to test the
MPI compilation stuff instead of the MPI C compiler...
Platforms tested:
AIX and Linux
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
The new way of detecting LibZ (just specifying the directory where
include/ and lib/ are) wasn't propagated down to the Fortran
directory.
Solution:
Added that code...
Platforms tested:
AIX and Linux
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
I borrowed function HDpackFstring from the HDF4 Library and
left name unchanged. It causes linking problems for Fortran users
that use both HDF4 and HDF5 Libraries in their applications.
Solution:
Changed the name to be HD5packFstring
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7
Bug Fix
Description:
The make uninstall-examples wasn't working if fortran or C++ was
built.
Solution:
Added uninstall-examples to the Makefile.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Maintenance
Description:
Several compiler's warnings caused Hitachi SR8000
F90 and C compilers to fail.
Solution:
Fixed the code to eliminate warnings.
Platforms tested:
O2K (modi4) and Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
Removing the DPSS (gridstorage) driver source code.
Description:
The DPSS (using Grid-Storage) driver is retired.
Removed the configure option with-gridstorage from configure.in.
Cvs remove the following files
./src/H5FDdpss.c
./src/H5FDdpss.h
./test/dpss_read.c
./test/dpss_write.c
Regenerated Dependencies files (some had to be hand-edited since
'make depend' did not cover them.)
Removed reference to DPSS Virtual file driver from H5F.c.
Platforms tested:
modi4 (Parallel; -with-gass=...), eirene, arabica (fortran, cxx).
Bug fix.
Description:
Fix fortran stub for H5P[gs]et_hyper_cache.
Solution:
Made the fortran subs not execute any function calls into the library,
unless v1.4 compatibility is turned on.
Elena will be following this up with a real fix.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Somehow I forgot to add DEC compiler directives to the H5Eff.f90
file. Linking failed on OSF 5.1
Solution:
Added necessary compiler directives for name translations.
Platforms tested:
Not tested yet but without this change it would fail.
