Bug fix
Description:
Forgot to remove a debug statement before committing.
Solution:
The script printined out what it thought CC_BASENAME was for debugging.
Removed this print statement.
Platforms tested:
minor change, mcr
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Same bug as was just checked in for v16. Do the complicated
derived datatype check for compilers named mpiicc in addition to
mpicc.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Misc. update:
tidy up.
Description:
MPE option created *.clog file whenever it is executed in MPI.
The cleanup of *.clog files were done in individual Makefile.in.
Often, it is forgotten.
Solution:
Moved the cleaning of *.clog files to CHECK_CLEANFILES in commence.am
so that it is applied whenever check-clean is called.
Platforms tested:
heping pp using MPE.
Bug fixes
Description:
This checkin fixes an occasional error on kelgia on sol during distclean.
It also causes test scripts to depend properly on the programs they're
supposed to be testing.
Solution:
The kelgia bug was due to some files being cleaned by automake and manually.
Removed the manual cleaning in src/Makefile.am.
Test script dependencies now need to be specified manually, since the
makefile can't guess what they test from their name. Currently all test
scripts in a given directory have a single list of dependencies--this was
easy and seems to be sufficient.
These dependencies are listed in the SCRIPT_DEPEND variable in the Makefile.am.
Platforms tested:
heping, mir, modi4, sol
Misc. update:
Description: Added 2 new configure options, --enable-exception and --enable-accuracy.
--enable-exception lets the library check whether user's exception handling
functions are present during compiler data conversions and use them if they are.
When it's disabled, this step is skipped to improve conversion speed. This
step isn't implemented yet for soft conversions because there would be little
gain in speed.
--enable-accuracy guarantees data accuracy during data conversions. It means
the library will choose compiler conversions only if the accurate data is
secured. Otherwise, the library will go for the library's own conversions. If
this option is disabled, the library uses compiler conversions in favor of
their speed as long as they work even if data can be incorrect.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss. Some systems may fail after this
checkin.
minor tidy up.
Description:
Changed both test programs and test scripts to use the same suffixes
(.chkexe and .chklog). Changed from .log to .chklog to avoid running
into potential conflicts by other "things" (e.g., config.log).
Tested:
Heping.
Update & feature
Added a new cached data conversion setting.
Added -DH5_FLOPS to CPPFLAGS for compiling. Had used the builtin
__PUMAGON__ but H5_TFLOPS is more meaningful.
Platforms tested:
Tested in Flops.
Misc. update:
Bug fix and improvement.
Description:
The test output were not displayed for parallel tests.
The serial tests output were always displayed whether the test was
actually ran this time or not.
Solution:
Moved the display of test output inside the target where the actual
tests are run.
Platforms tested:
Tested in heping using pp and fortran.
Bug fix and code minor cleanup.
Description:
The attempt to redirect stderr together to the log files were
done in the wrong order such that stderr output goes to where
stdout WAS. Fixed that.
Code minor cleanup--use shell variables to hold the name of the
log file and the test instead of generating them repeatedly. This
makes easier code reading, less crowded and avoid typos.
Only conclude.in is changed. The Makefile.in changes are all
derived from automake.
Platforms tested:
h5committested.
Misc. update:
Port to Red Storm
Description:
Initial version to configure for SNL Red Storm. To configure for it, do
./configure --host=x86_64-redstorm-linux
Platforms tested:
Tested in Red-storm. Many things are still failing but this will
make the configure part easier.
Misc. update:
Makefile feature
Description:
'make check-clean' now cleans *.h5 files created by tests as well as
.log and .chkexe files.
Solution:
check-clean is now a separate target in its own right, which cleans less
than mostlyclean (check-clean < mostlyclean < clean < distclean).
Platforms tested:
mir, heping, modi4 (serial and parallel)
Feature: check-clean target
Description:
'make check-clean' cleans up output files from tests.
Solution:
Tests create foo.chkexe and foo.log files. Scripts create foo.chksh and
foo.logsh files. 'make check-clean' will clean these files up so that
the tests can be re-run.
Also suppressed some not-very-useful output of Makefiles when it would
echo commands.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Misc. update:
Configuration feature
Description:
Serial test output is now stored in log files and printed when all tests
in a directory complete, or when a test fails. This should make test output
more readable and useful.
Also made changes to clean up ii_files directories that are created by some
C++ compilers/linkers.
Also fixed a few minor Makefile bugs.
Solution:
When serial tests run, their output is saved in *.log or *.logsh. While
running, tests only print when they begin and when they complete; their
more specific output (from the log file) is printed if the test fails or
when all tests have completed.
Comments welcome.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4 (parallel and serial), copper, shanti
Bug fix
Description:
Update Makefiles now that docs are no longer in main hdf5 tree.
Solution:
Changed root-level Makefile.am not to recurse into docs tree.
Removed docs Makefiles from configure.in.
Removed config/commence-doc.am, since it is no longer used.
Platforms tested:
mir (change to Makefiles only)
Bug fixes
Description:
A number of minor changes to Makefiles. Some files will now be cleaned
properly, some comments are more informative, etc.
Platforms tested:
heping, mir, modi4
Updating phase 2 work of collective IO
Description:
When the size is bigger than some value for MPI derived data type, mpich 1.2.5 and lower
version won't work any more, so in the configuration file, we will check the version number
and switch from collective IO to independent IO by turning off complex derived datatype.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux 2.4, AIX 5.1, Linux 2.4 IA64 and IRIX 6.5
Misc. update:

Misc. update:
Description: -xopnemp=stabs linking flag is needed on Solaris 2.9
in order to build Fortran library.
Solution: Added the flag to LDFLAGS if system version is 5.9
I don't really like the fix since this flag is now always added
for 5.9 systems even if Fortran is not enabled. If someone has
a better solution, please let me know :-)
Platforms tested: shanti, sol
Misc. update:
Description: Removed -DH5_ABSOFT flag for C compiler when Absoft f95 compiler
was used; this flag is not needed anymore since we automatically construct
names of C functions called from Fortran.
Solution:
Platforms tested: pommier
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
The ".chksh" file for a test script was being created in the "source"
location rather than the build location. This can cause problems when
multiple builds are running because "slower" machines will see the ".cshsh"
file from faster machines and will not run the test script as they should.
Solution:
Use 'basename' command to strip off the path of the script and create
the ".chksh" file in the build location.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
h5committest
bug fix.
Description:
-nt is not a universal option for the test command in all platforms.
The use of it in conclude.am cause some platforms to bark at the
Makefile generated.
Solution:
Created a command script bin/newer which tests if file1 is newer
than file2. Replace the "test file1 -nt file2" by
"newer file1 file2".
Platforms tested:
Tested in sol.
Bug fix
Description:
Fixed bugs that caused tests to be unable to find testhdf5.sh during
daily tests, and another that broke sol and shanti.
Solution:
When tests are run, their path is ./$testname .
When scripts are run, their path has no leading "./". Fixed.
Sol and shanti don't recognize the -e option for test, but they do know
-f. Fixed.
Also modified release notes.
Platforms tested:
mir, shanti, heping
Feature: tests now use parallel make and only run once
Description:
When make is invoked in parallel (using the -j option), several tests will
now be run simultaneously. This should speed up testing on a number of
systems.
When a test passes, it creates a foo.chkexe or foo.chksh file, which prevents
the test from running again unless the test or library changes.
Solution:
Most of the changes live in config/conclude.am. Added *.chkexe and *.chksh
files to the list of files to be cleaned at "make mostlyclean" time.
Parallel tests still run one at a time, but use the same make instructions
as serial tests.
Platforms tested:
mir, eirene, sleipnir, pommier, copper, modi4 (some errors occurred, probably
due to the test being run before updating hdf5. Will re-run tests after
checkin.)
Adding supports for cygwin
Description:
g95 needs special fortran flags to make it work cygwin.
Solution:
Add the flag on cygwin config file.
Now gcc, g++ and g95 are supported on cygwin.
Platforms tested:
cygwinNT_5.1, Linux 2.4
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
check-s and check-p were set as pre-requistics of test. They
would get executed in parallel if parallel make is used. This
could cause problems since serial tests are used to be executed
before parallel tests. It is not known if it is always okay to
run serial and parallel tests in simultantously.
Solution:
Change check-s and check-p as actions of the target test so
that they get executed sequnentially.
Platforms tested:
heping PP.
Added check-s and check-p targets.
Description:
Added check-s and check-p targets to 1.7 branch to match changes to 1.6
branch. Now parallel and serial tests can be run separately.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4, copper
improvement.
Description:
hdf5_mpi_complex_derived_datatype_works is hardset to no but
newer IRIX64 systems have it working. Changed the code to
detect the compiler version and set hdf5_mpi_complex_derived_datatype_works
to no for older compilers only.
Platforms tested:
modi4 for the no effect.
Misc. update:
Description: Altix configuration file used icc for the default C++ compiler.
Since cobalt moved to Intel 8.1, C++ compilation failed.
Solution: Changed icc to icpc for the default C++ compiler on Altix.
Platforms tested: cobalt
Misc. update:
Cray X1 Port
Description:
Porting 1.7 branch to Cray X1. With these changes, HDF5 builds, but
there are some errors in the tests. Working on the errors.
Solution:
Added nv1-cray file to config directory.
Cleaned up some code in hl/c++ that was causing compiler to complain.
Platforms tested:
Cray X1, mir, sleipnir
Misc. update:
Update config/lt_vers.am
Description:
My version number bump to config/lt_vers.am somehow didn't get checked
in with the rest of the metadata cache API mods.
Solution:
Bumped the version numbers again, and try checking in the file again.
Platforms tested:
None -- but see previous checkin of metadata cache API additions.
Misc. update:
New feature.
Description:
To update libtool's version number for changing API interface
of H5Psetscaleoffset.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
heping
Misc. update:
Purpose:
collective chunk IO support for AIX 5.x
Description:
NCSA just updated its poe version, this new version will support
MPI complicated derived data type.
So update our configuration file for AIX 5.x.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
copper, no need for others since only AIX 5.x will be affected.
Misc. update:
Description:
Many warnings about duplicate symbols for various members in the std.
Solution:
Temporarily added -qweaksymbol to suppress linker messages warning
of duplicate symbols since these warnings are harmless.
Note from pSeries and AIX Information Center:
When compiling C++ programs containing extern inline functions,
you can use the -qweaksymbol compiler option to suppress linker
messages warning of duplicate symbols.
Hoping that a better solution is suggested or the problem will be
handled by the compiler in the future.
Platforms tested:
AIX 5.1 (copper)
Feature - libtool shared library versioning
Description:
Libtool provides a mechanism for different versions of the same shared
library to be distinguished. Now this is applied to HDF5 when it is
built as a shared library.
Solution:
The version number is stored in config/lt_vers.am, and included in
src/Makefile.am.
This number will be automatically updated by bin/h5vers; developers
only need to update it when they change the API.
*** IMPORTANT ***
Any time the API changes, the version number in config/lt_vers.am must
be updated!
Platforms tested:
mir, eirene, verbena, modi4
