Add version # and flags to external link format (as fields in a single
byte), in order to accomodate future changes/expansions.
Tested on:
Mac OS X/32 10.4.9 (amazon)
Linux/32 2.6 (chicago)
Linux/64 2.6 (chicago2)
FreeBSD/32 6.2 (duty)
FreeBSD/64 6.2 (liberty)
Eliminate storing # of links in "link info" message, regenerate it
when the object is opened instead.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 6.2 (duty)
Mac OS X/32 10.4.8 (amazon)
Revise latest form of superblock format pretty drastically, to
eliminate unused fields and move rarely used fields into superblock extension.
Finished removing last vestiges of references to (never used) i"shared"
object header message ID.
Added object header messages for non-default v1 B-tree 'K' values
and for driver info.
Updated testfiles to reflect size changes, etc.
Various minor cleanups, etc.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 6.2 (duty)
Mac OS X/32 10.4.8 (amazon)
Further minor modifications to the file format for tracking links in groups.
This is tentatively the "final" file format for groups.
Tested on:
Linux/32 2.6 (chicago)
Linux/64 2.6 (chicago2)
File format is not stable, don't keep files produced!
Description:
First stage of checkins modifying the format of groups to support creation
order. Implement "dense" storage for links in groups.
Try to clarify some of the symbols for the H5L API.
Add the H5Pset_latest_format() flag for FAPLs, to choose to use the newest
file format options (including "dense" link storage in groups)
Add the H5Pset_track_creation_order() flag for GCPLs, to enable creation
order tracking in groups (although no index on creation order yet).
Remove --enable-group-revision configure flag, as file format issues are
now handled in a backwardly/forwardly compatible way.
Clean up lots of compiler warnings and other minor formatting issues.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 4.11 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe
Linux/32 2.4 (heping) w/FORTRAN & C++
Linux/64 2.4 (mir) w/enable-v1.6 compa
Mac OSX/32 10.4.8 (amazon)
AIX 5.3 (copper) w/parallel & FORTRAN
Users can create external links using H5L_create_external(). These links
point to an object in another HDF5 file. Users can alter the behavior of
external links or create new kinds of links by registering callbacks
using the H5L interface.
Added tests, tools support, etc.
Also a number of other, minor changes have been made (some restructuring of
the H5L interface, for instance).
Additional documentation and examples are forthcoming.
