Bug fix.
Description:
The nbit filter does not check error when calling some utility functions
that can return a failure.
Solution:
Add error handling for these utility functions.
Platforms tested:
heping, copper
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
C++ tests would die with strange linking-type errors.
Solution:
C++ build needs to be static, too. Applied -static flags liberally in
c++/src and c++/test directories.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, heping
Bug fix
Description:
Fortran builds were dying with unknown flags.
Solution:
Fortran builds should be static, not shared. Static flags had been specified
for libraries, but apparently were also needed for executables.
Solved problem by adding static flag to everything in fortran directories.
Platforms tested:
mir, eirene
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Libtool 1.5.14 added some extra flags that needed to be passed from the compiler
to the linker. icc did not handle this correctly and complained when it saw
unknown flags.
Solution:
Set the -Wl flag correctly on freebsd so that icc knows to pass flags through
to the linker.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir (gcc, g++, icc, gcc40)
Bug fix
Description:
h5vers would spit out the output that reconfigure script produced.
Solution:
Sent output from reconfigure to /dev/null. h5vers is now quiet as before.
Platforms tested:
verbena, eirene, heping
Modifications of nbit filter.
Description:
The nbit filter does not support datatypes other than integer,
floating-point as well as array datatype and compound datatype consisting
of integer or floating-point.
Solution:
Change the nbit filter to accept all datatype at the top level, and if
the datatype is not what described above, the filter will not do anything
to the data instead of generating errors.
Slight improvements of the filter's performance.
Platforms tested:
heping, copper
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Some machines and compilers were having trouble creating fortran libraries
as shared libraries.
Solution:
Added flag in Makefiles.am to create fortran libraries as shared libraries.
(This is how HDF5 was set up before automake changes; I forgot to add
these flags, and it didn't cause a problem until now.)
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, eirene, verbena
Misc. update:
New features & refactor
Description:
Add basic record removal (only handles level-0 B-trees currently)
Add query routine to check the number of records in a B-tree
Add debugging routine to check the address of the root node in the B-tree
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
Description:
Fixed typo in using namespace; it was mistakenly opening the namespace.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (heping)
Very minor, and tested 3 platforms for 1.6 branch
change
Description:
Minor changes to Dimension Scale API, to bring into alignment
with specification.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
verbena,shanti, copper64
Misc. update:
Description: Somehow, the hardware conversions between "long double" and other native floating-point
types were left out.
Solution: Added the hardware conversion functions in H5Tconv.c and test cases in dtypes.c.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Misc. update: updated MANIFEST to replace bin/reconfigure.sh with bin/reconfigure
Bug fix
Description:
h5vers script called automake without using bin/reconfigure
Solution:
Altered h5vers script to use bin/reconfigure
Also:
***
CHANGED NAME OF reconfigure.sh TO reconfigure !
***
This matches the other scripts in the bin/ directory. Also changed
permissions on reconfigure so it can be executed.
Platforms tested:
eirene
Misc. update:
Description: The library didn't handle incorrect hardware conversion for datatype. It simply did
convert to incorrect data if any hardware didn't handle correctly.
Solution: During configuration, incorrect hardware conversion is detected and some macros are
defined. Use these macros to decide whether to register hardware conversion in H5T.c. If no hardware
conversion function is registered for certain pair of datatypes, software conversion function will
be used as the conversion path. Although slower than hardware conversion, we're more confident
software conversion is accurate.
So in one sentence to describe library's behavior, if some hardware conversion doesn't work well,
software conversion will be used instead.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Misc. update: some changes to configure's comments.
Feature
Description:
Added code to dump the beginnng and last few lines of the
test log file if errors have occurred.
Platforms tested:
Tested the code itself separatedly but daily test is where
it is really tested. Should work.
Bug fix & new feature
Description:
Fix errors in tracking the total number of records "below" a node.
Add feature to find the n'th record in a B-tree
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
New feature, refactor code
Description:
Add call to search for a record in a B-tree by key value
Refactored some of the existing callbacks to simplify them.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
Bug fix
Description:
c++/src directory was having trouble finding main HDF5 library.
Solution:
Replaced AM_CPPFLAGS with INCLUDES to include files in main src directory.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4, verbena
feature
Description:
Starting to add a feature that will print out details from the snapshot
test logfile when the test fails. Only a debug statment is added to
see if snapshot is reporting error status correctly.
Platforms tested:
Not tested. Wait for daily test to show the result.
Bug fixes
Description:
Fix several bugs in B-tree insertion code, which now appears to be fully
functional. (Tested to 1,280,000 records at least...)
Add random record insertion test to shake out boundary conditions, etc.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
Description: On some Cray, the size of "short" is 8 byte but only the low-order 4 byte
are over used(precision is 4 byte). The "perm" in struct "detect_t" contains "-1" for
bytes that aren't used, making detection of order invalid in function print_results().
Solution: Use a "for" loop to search through "perm" find the first non "-1" element,
and use it to decide the byte order of the machine.
Platforms tested: fuss - already tested for v1.6
feature
Description:
h5repack support for scaleoffset compression
Checking in early to help debug the filter.
Solution:
Added messages and command line to handle new scale offset filter.
Note: TESTS ARE DISABLED FOR NOW. The filter is not
complete, repack tests may fail due to know problems.
PLEASE DO NOT MESS WITH THE SCALEOFFSET TESTS AT THIS TIME.
They will be enabled when the filter is ready.
Platforms tested:
verbena,copper,shanti
Misc. update:
MANIFEST
Bug fix
Description:
This checkin addresses two bugs.
Firstly, I used the wrong semantics when detecting if $MAKE is defined to
the empty string or undefined.
Secondly, pmake on IRIX does not work well with automake's dependency tracking
if the build is not an in-place build.
Solution:
Fixed semantics in configure.in.
Disabled automatic dependency tracking automatically on IRIX. This is not
the optimal fix, but it should work fine as long as no one is doing HDF5
development on IRIX, and it is much easier than trying to detect the exact
situations in which dependency tracking fails (or than trying to fix dependency
tracking!).
Platforms tested:
heping, modi4 (pmake and gmake)
changed the function H5DSget_scale_name to return the size of the name buffer
added a test
Description:
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Discovered two small bugs.
When MAKE is defined as the empty string, a test in configure incorrectly
identifies it as pmake. Skipped this test if $MAKE is the empty string.
Two .h5 files produced by a test in the hl directory were not cleaned.
Updated the Makefile.am.
Platforms tested:
heping, modi4 (very minor changes)
Update
Description:
Matthew reinstalled autotools into AFS with architecture directories.
Solution:
Updated bin/reconfigure.sh script to point to new locations of autotools.
reconfigure.sh should run on "any" Linux box connected to AFS.
Platforms tested:
reconfigure.sh tested on heping and eirene. No other files modified.
Description:
Checked return value from C API for failure condition.
Added/Modified some comments appropriately.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (heping)
AIX 5.1 (copper) - tests passed but there were some old warnings about
duplicate symbols on std::string; I'll check on that.
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
HDF5's libtool includes a hack to ensure that libraries are found
on IRIX. This hack did not have the correct path for the hl-fortran
tests to find the main library.
Solution:
Extend the hack. This may call for a better long-term solution...
Platforms tested:
modi4 (hack only takes effect on IRIX)
New feature
Description:
Allow internal nodes to perform 3->4 splits. Inserting records should now
be feature complete.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
new features/tests
Description:
add a couple more tests for the attach/detach pair of functions together with a verify function for it (used only for test purposes)
avoided addind the same scale twice to a dimension
all seems to be working very well
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
a scale was deleted twice in one case
Solution:
check for the dimension , delete only for it
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
Misc. update:
New test
Description:
Add more regression tests for redistributing leafs in a level-2 B-tree
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
Description: On SGI Altix(cobalt) Linux, wrong values were printed out for enum data type
members. No apparent reason was discovered.
Solution: use another pointer to the buffer containing the member value. It seems fix the
problem.
Platforms tested: cobalt - simple change, where the bug was discovered.
