Bug Fix/Code Cleanup/Doc Cleanup/Optimization/Branch Sync :-)
Description:
Generally speaking, this is the "signed->unsigned" change to selections.
However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier
until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation. So... I
brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the
release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in
performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch,
but not the other.
I've also tagged the repository before making this checkin with the label
"before_signed_unsigned_changes".
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel & fphdf5
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/backward compatibility
Solaris 2.7 (arabica) w/"purify options"
Solaris 2.8 (sol) w/FORTRAN & C++
AIX 5.x (copper) w/parallel & FORTRAN
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/FORTRAN
Linux 2.4 (heping) w/FORTRAN & C++
Misc. update:
Update.
Description:
Make some minor change so that h5jam.c is compatible with Windows.
Solution:
1. unistd.h is not available in windows system. Add a macro for this header file as:
#ifdef H5_HAVE_UNISTD_H
#include <unistd.h>
#endif
2. Change open, read, write, lseek functions to HDopen, HDread, HDwrite, and HDlseek,
as these HD functions are more comtatible with Windows system.
3. add #include H5private.h
4. remove #include <stdlib.h>
Platforms tested:
Windows 2000
Windows XP
