Feature Fix
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
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
Users could not trace MPI programs when library wasn't compiled for
parallel execution
Solution:
Allow Pablo Trace library to set the processor number and generate
the filenames for each processor.
Platforms tested:
Sun Workstation, HP VClass, Irix 64
New feature
Description:
Added h5_show_hostname to display the hostname of the host in
which the process runs. It can help identify location of process
in multiple processes or batch launching environments.
Platforms tested:
Eirene (pp)
Bug fix
Description:
Zlib-compression was reported according to if a Z-library (e.g., libz.a)
has been found. It actually needs the presence of a valid zlib.h header
file and the compress2() routine.
Solution:
Changed the IF_YES_NO to be more general by accepting multiple arguments
and changed the Zlib-compression depends on zlib.h header and the
compress2() routine.
Platforms tested:
Eirene.
Purpose:
1. add install hdf5 lib.,tools batch file 2. add comments and earse warning 3. update H5pubconf.h
Description:
1. With the request from supporting team, add a batch file that can
automatically move all library, include and binary files to
a directory called hdf5lib under the top directory.
2. H5Tinit.c, H5pubconf.h and H5config.h are adapted from UNIX platform
but manually maintained on windows. Add a one-line comment to avoid
confusions.
3. erase a compiling warning for unlink.dll
4. Update H5pubconf.h, malloc(0) returns a non-NULL pointer for windows;
So define H5_MALLOC_WORK on H5pubconf.h
Solution:
Platforms tested:
windows 2000
Feature
Description:
Added option -c to allow skipping file system Checking. This allows
users to run the test even if the program thinks it may fill up the
file system.
Platforms tested:
eirene
Code cleanup
Description:
Platform dependent code related to the struct stat and fstat
calls polluted source codes. Hard to maintain.
Solution:
Platform dependent code are moved to H5private.h and then internal
code can #include H5private.h. Repeat those macro definition for
the stdio and multi drivers since they area examples for writing
a virtual file driver. They must not use any internal code.
Platforms tested:
eirene (parallel), modi4 (serial including gass driver.)
Code cleanup
Description:
Update 'indent' flags for library to include some flags in later versions
of GNU indent.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
Code Cleanup
Description:
Remove "knowledge" about external file storage from H5D_init_storage and
call H5F_seq_write instead, which handles things correctly.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
Purpose:
change include header format
Description:
the format <> of headers was causing problems in the file H5Tinit.c
Solution:
changed to
#include "H5private.h"
#include "H5Iprivate.h"
#include "H5Eprivate.h"
#include "H5FLprivate.h"
#include "H5MMprivate.h"
#include "H5Tpkg.h"
Platforms tested:
w2000
Code cleanup
Description:
Got rid of the "H5T_BKG_TEMP" setting that was used internally to the
library, since temporary background buffers are now handled by the
individual conversion routines instead of in a global background buffer.
No APIs were changed or affected by this.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir)
Maintenance
Description:
The tflops option local modification in bin/config.sub was wiped out
during the latest autoconfigure tools upgrade. Instead of adding it
in for every autoconfigure tools upgrade, I changed the instruction
to use a standard feature in configure.
./configure --host=i386-intel-osf1
This is a bit more typing but no more local modification.
Bug fix
Description:
When several level deep nested compound & VL datatypes are used, the data
in the nested compound datatypes is incorrectly sharing the same "background
buffer", causing data corruption when the data is written to the file.
Solution:
Allocate a separate background buffer for each level of the nested types
to convert. (Also allocate temporary background buffers for array
datatypes, where this sort of problem could occur also)
Added more regression tests to check for these errors.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.5 (sleipnir) & Solaris 2.6 (baldric)
Purpose:
added a new file
Description:
new file that contains the framework for a new test, regarding a new ID to name
function. for the moment the program does nothing
Platforms tested:
w2000
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
Reading fill_old.h5 from fillval.c has problem to find from building
directory.
Solution:
prepend source directory into file name.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.2
Bug Fix
Description:
Ported the hack of hte ltmain.sh script from the v1.4 branch to the
1.5 branch, since it's sure to fail on systems with really long
-Wl... flags...
Purpose:
New feature
Description:
Fill-value's behaviors for contiguous dataset have been redefined.
Basicly, dataset won't allocate space until it's necessary. Full details
are available at http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/RFC/Fill_Value, at this moment.
These two file test backward compatibility with 1.4.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.2.

Platforms tested:
Linux 2.2.
Purpose:
test for the H5Dset_extent API function
Description:
there are 2 types of tests:
Test H5Dset_extent with chunks on the raw data cache
Test H5Dset_extent with chunks written to file
Platforms tested:
Windows 2000
SUN( arabica)
LINUX (eirene)
IRIX64 (modi4)
Purpose:
H5Dset_extent API function
Description:
1 new public function: H5Dset_extent, that allows shrinking a dataset
several private functions that free the previously allocated chunks
H5F_istore_prune_by_extent, H5B_prune_by_extent : removes the chunks
H5F_istore_initialize_by_extent : initializes them with the fill value
H5S_select_fill is used to fill the selection in the memory buffer
Platforms tested:
Windows 2000
SUN( arabica)
LINUX (eirene)
IRIX64 (modi4)
Feature
Description:
Added comments that this is intended as an example of file driver.
Added a macro detection at the end to flag if non-public definitions
are used. (only check for H5private.h which is mostly likely used.
Not bullet proof at all.)
Platforms tested:
eirene.
Third Time's a Charm
Description:
Okay...So, the H5Tinit.c isn't in the $(top_srcdir) directory but in
the $(top_builddir) directory.
Solution:
Hack so that if it is H5Tinit that we're compiling, then point to the
$(top_builddir) directory.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug Fix Fix
Description:
The way I fixed the bug didn't work on Linux.
Solution:
Changed so that we use the $* macro with a .c extension instead of
assuming that $< won't have a full pathname already.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug Fix
Description:
We couldn't find the HDF5 source files for compilation with Pablo.
Solution:
Have it find them in the $(top_srcdir)/src/ directory.
