Add a bunch more regression tests:
- Verify opening a fractal heap more than once works correctly
- Check that 0 & 1-sized object insertions are handled correctly
- Check that bad heap IDs are detected when attempting to read an
object
- Check that doubling tables with different parameter values are
working correctly
Add some more checks to the code to detect 0-sized object insertions and
bad heap IDs for reading.
Tested On:

Linux/64 2.4 (mir)
Solaris/64 2.9 (shanti)
- Migrate "direct block location" routine from H5HFman.c to H5HFdblock.c,
which is a more appropriate location
- Optimize performance of heap code by taking advantage of pinned
indirect blocks and use them without putting a metadata cache
protect/unprotect pair around them.
- Other minor compiler warning cleanups and optimizations...
Tested On:
FreeBSD/32 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux/64 2.4 (mir)

Object header locations (H5O_loc_t's) can now "hold open" a file and
decrement its open object count when they close. This means that
locations (H5O_loc_t's and H5G_loc_t's) should always be freed.
Added more thorough tests to ensure that external files are closed.
flag, and pin an entry as it is inserted.
The objective is to avoid some function call overhead in fheap.
Also added matching test code in test/cache.c & test/cache_common.c
(also testpar/t_cache.c checked in separately by accident)
h5commit tested
Several changes, all mooshed together:
- Add support for "tiny" objects - which can be stored in the heap
ID itself, instead of in the heap data blocks.
- Flesh out support for compressed direct blocks, but comment it
out until John's got some metadata cache changes in place to
support it.
- Add support for applying I/O pipeline filters to 'huge' objects
- Refactor 'huge' object code to store information for 'huge' objects
directly in the heap ID, when there are I/O pipeline filters
applied to the heap (and the heap ID is large enough to hold the
information)
- Update h5debug tool to correctly handle 'huge' & 'tiny' objects.
- Misc. other code cleanups, etc.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux/64 2.4 (mir)
Solaris/64 2.9 (shanti)
Allow the heap ID length to be chosen at heap creation time, to allow
for making heap IDs long enough to directly embed the file offset & length
of 'huge' objects in the heap ID (which allows them to be retrieved directly
from disk, instead of requiring them to be looked up in the B-tree that tracks
'huge' objects)
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux/64 2.4 (mir)
Solaris/64 9 (shanti)
Clean up a couple of compiler warnings in the 'huge' object code in the
library.
Add a bunch of 'huge' object regression tests
Tested on:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux/64 2.4 (mir)
Solaris/64 2.9 (shanti)
Move metadata cache address rename for fractal heap indirect block
immediately after reallocing the storage on disk - to prevent another
routine in the library from confusing the cache by allocating more storage
and attempting to insert it in metadata cache at the old block's location.
Gotta like those monte carlo/random insert & delete tests, which exposed
this... :-)
Tested:
Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
Not failing on other machines
Initial revision to add support for "huge" objects in the heap (which are
actually stored directly in the file, but are tracked with v2 B-tree that is
accessed through heap header).
Testing:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux/64 2.4 (mir)
Linux/32 2.4 (heping)
Mac OS X.4 (amazon)
Update code formatting a little and refactor to add a better mechanism

Daily test for ttsafe failed on several machines due to the changed error stack.
Solution:
Updated the source code to use new error stack.
Platforms tested:
shanti
More tweaks on fractal heap statistics, to better separate information
about managed objects from information about "huge" objects.
Also, clean up some compiler warnings, etc. on 64-bit platforms & Windows.
Platforms tested:
Linux/32 2.6 (chicago)
Linux/64 2.6 (chicago)
Refactor fields in heap header to clean out information from dropped
features and also group related fields together more nicely.
Add fields to heap header for storing information about "huge" objects.
Platforms tested:
Linux/32 2.6 (chicago)
Linux/64 2.6 (chicago)
Refactor fractal heap IDs to include "flag byte" as part of the ID. This
byte will be used for the heap ID format version as well as flags to indicate
whether the heap object is a "tiny"/normal/"huge" object (with storage
mechanisms optimized for each type of object).
Platforms tested:
Linux/32 2.4 (chicago)
Too minor to require h5committest
Clean up compiler warnings/failures in test/links.c, especially when
--disable-production flag used with --enable-group-revision
Modify binary dumping in h5dump to clean up files created [a band-aid
solution to not actually creating the files in the srcdir, but better than
just leaving the files around... :-/ ]
Tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) (w/ configure flags above)
Too minor to require h5committest
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.
ttsafe test failed on the tts_error call. The error was due to the outdated
expected error stack; fixed.
Test was also moved to use new error APIs.
Platforms tested: Linux 2.4 (heping) and Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
"make check-vfd" will now run all tests in the test directory with different
file drivers (at least, all of those tests that use the testing framework's
FAPL). Tests that fail will be skipped.
This is not a perfect fix, but is better than nothing.
Along with this change, check-vfd should be added to the Daily Tests.
Fix the last scattered bunch of problems with the object deletion code,
which appears to be completely working now (for objects that are stored
within heap blocks - standalone objects aren't implemented yet).
Also, re-work the regression test to speed up some of the existing tests
and add in 100-200 more combinations of tests - overall, its probably even
slower than it was... :-/
Tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4 (chicago)
Mac OS X (amazon)
Checkpoint further work on object deletion code for fractal heaps. I
believe everything is finally working for this sub-task. More regression tests
soon, but I don't foresee any problems.
Machines:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)

Refactored object deletion code for fractal heap to fix scaling problems.
Passing all previous tests again now.
Tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4 (chicago)
Mac OS X (amazon)
1) Added trace file support to the metadata cache. This allows capture
of all metadata cache calls in trace files for purposes of optimization
and debuging.
2) Added an expunge entry function. This allows an entry to be deleteded
from the cache without writing it to disk even if it is dirty.
3) Added a function call to resize pinned entries.
4) Added code to deal with entries that are dirty on load. This is
needed in support of a bug fix which can alter object headers on
load to repair files.
5) Added progress reporting code to the "MDC API smoke check" test in
cache_api.c. To enable the progress reporting, set report_progress
to TRUE in mdc_api_call_smoke_check().
Tested with h5committest, and a parallel test on phoenix (dual athelon
linux box).
adjustment
Description:
These tests (fheap, btree2) are under development and are not used by
the library yet. Move them to the end so that their failure do not block
other current library code tests.
Platforms tested:
heping.
Feature
Description:
Revised Link APIs.
Solution:
New link APIs use H5L*
H5*create_expand do not create links to the objects created; this must
be done manually with H5Llink.
Added APIs to link an object given its ID (H5Llink), to copy links (H5Lcopy),
and changed creation APIs (H5Lcreate_hard and H5Lcreate_soft) and query
API (H5Lget_linkinfo instead of H5Gget_objinfo).
All old APIs are still supported in H5Gdeprec.c .
Platforms tested:
sol, mir, copper
Misc. update:
Forgot to update MANIFEST and release docs. Will do after checkin.
Code checkpoint
Description:
Revise fractal heap code to support deletions in up to 2nd level deep
indirect blocks. Needs some revisions to support deeper indirect blocks...
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4 (chicago)
h5committest
Added/adjusted Test Express mode.
Description:
btree2:
Added TestExpress mode to skip some long tests (the 5th recursive and
the two random tests.)
fheap:
Changed the express mode messages to be more informative.
Un-excluded some tests from express mode.
Platforms tested:
Red Storm.
Code cleanup
Description:
Trim trailing whitespace in Makefile.am and C/C++ source files to make
diffing changes easier.
Platforms tested:
None necessary, whitespace only change
New feature
Description:
Check in Peter's code to add support for "shallow copy", "create
intermediate groups", "no attributes" and "expand soft links" support.
Platforms tested:

Linux 2.4 (chicago) w/ & w/o group-revision enabled
h5committest
Description: Mac OS 10.4 on PowerPC chip has some errors to convert (unsigned)
long long to long double. When the bit sequences are 0x003ff..., 0x007fff...,
0x00ffff..., 0x01ffff..., 0x7fffff..., the converted values are twice as big
as they should be.
Solution: Detect the error in configure and disable the compiler conversion
and test case.
Platforms tested: h5committest, Mac OS 10.4, and fuss.
Bug fix
Description:
Since the new default Express level is 1, some fheap tests were being skipped.
Solution:
At least temporarily, fheap now skips these tests if it is run at express level 2
or greater.
Platforms tested:
mir
Configuration feature
Description:
'make install' now tests both static and shared libraries if both are installed.
Solution:
Previously, shared libraries were only tested when static libraries were not installed.
Also cleaned up line in commence.am that was including HL library in all Makefiles.
Platforms tested:
mir (Makefile change only)
testing feature
Description:
HDF5 Test Express change; now accepts values 0 to 3.
Solution:
As explained in the RFC and documented in the code, there are now four
levels of "express-ness", 0 (no limit) to 3 (1 min limit).
It is now up to test writers to take advantage of the various levels
to tune their tests' run times.
Platforms tested:
mir (minor change)
Description: Data conversion from long double to (unsigned) long long
returns some incorrect values on Mac OS 10.4 and SGI IRIX64 6.5. The
conversions start to go wrong when the long double is
20041683600089727.779961 (0x4351ccf385ebc8a0bfcc2a...). If adjusting
the values higher by assigning 0x...c8a0cf... or 0x...c8a0df..., the
converted values go wild.
Solution: Detect this error in configure.in and disable compiler
conversions from long double to (unsigned) long long for Mac OS 10.4
and IRIX64 6.5.
Platforms tested: h5committest, Mac OS 10.4, and IRIX64 6.5.
Code checkpoint
Description:
Add in more new features for the fractal heap code, mostly bringing in
more ability for deleting objects (which isn't completely working yet).
Also, checkpoint free space manager code, which is essentially complete
(although it needs some more work after the metadata cache has some additional
features)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4 (chicago)
h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
Fix bug which could lead to files with incorrect count of messages in the
header for an object. The exact sequence of operations is complicated and
is described in the release notes.
Solution:
Mark merged null header messages as dirty.
Platforms tested:

Bug fix - bugzilla #552
Description:
On Cray X1, trying to use : as an argument confused the system.
Solution:
Added a test in configure to see if : as an argument is bad.
If so, skipped the test.
Platforms tested:
mir, Cray X1 (change to configure only)
Feature
Description:
Sometimes the parallel prefix is given in the form of nfs:/mnt/pfs which
if given to a non-MPIO VFD like the default H5Fcreate, it would fail.
Added a new routine h5_rmprefix which would return the non-prefix component
part of the file name which would be okay for the default H5Fcreate and
such.
Platforms tested:
Tested in heping parallel.
Added Exress Test mode.
Description:
The test takes a long time to run. It tempted developers to skip the
h5committest.
Solution:
Added Express Test mode to allow tester an option to run it in express
mode (shorter time.) There are already encoded QAK macro which skips
many tests. Follow that pattern to skip tests when HDF5TestExpress is
set.
Platforms tested:
Tested in heping, both serial and parallel.
1) Check in potential fix to unreproduceable bug in t_cache observed on
Cobalt
2) Check in code supporting added pinned entry features in the metadata
cache.
Description:
1) Elena encountered a bug in t_cache when running on Cobalt. On
investigation I found a potential race condition in t_cache that
could explain her observation.
2) Quincey requested additions to the metadata cache allowing renaming
of pinned entryies, and marking of pinned or protected entries as
dirty.
Solution:
1) Modified t_cache.c to prevent the potential race condition. Elena
was unable to reproduce the bug on Cobalt, so we don't know if my
fix actually addressed the problem.
2) Added code supporting the requested functions. The changes were
relatively trivial, but required substantial new test code.
Platforms tested:
h5committest, serial test on heping, parallel test on phoenix.
Misc. update:
Code checkpoint
Description:
Update fractal heap code to allow objects to be deleted
Fix bugs in fractal heap object insertion

FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Mac OS X.4/PPC (amazon)
Linux 2.4 (chicago & heping)
Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
AIX 5.? (copper) w/parallel
Bug fix.
Description:
The ${TR}, though avoid the error, is inconvenient. It is needed
because configure.in use the char range in the style of 'a-z'.
The other style of '[a-z]' is more commonly accepted by all tr
but autoconf tends to strip away [], making the syntax rather
clumsy.
Solution:
Learned from autoconf that it avoids the use of character range
by just spell all the letters out. Changed our tr commands to
use those variables defined by autoconf. Also removed the
definition of ${TR} since it will cause inconsistancy when
autoconf also use plain 'tr' in its generated code.
The Makefile.in are changed because the elimination of ${TR} from
configure triggered its removal from all Makefil.in. That is okay
because ${TR} is not used at all in Makefile.
Platforms tested:
h5committested. (sol failed to connected). also tested in shanti
using both /usr/ucb/tr and /bin/tr (the bad one before.)
Misc. update:
Updated both INSTALL and RELEASE files.

Description: Function prototype H5E_walk_t and structure H5E_error_t wasn't backward
compatible.
Solution: Make them compatible with v1.6 and provide new definitions of H5E_walk_stack_t
and H5E_error_stack_t.
Platforms tested: fuss and h5committest.
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: dtypes.c compilation failed with gcc 4.1 due to the
missing prototype of the opaque_funcs function.
Failure was reported by a user who tried to build
hdf5-1.8.0-alpha2.
I reproduced the failure on sleipnir with gcc41
compiler.
Solution: Added prototype definition.
Platforms tested: sleipnir with gcc41, heping and copper
Misc. update:

Bug fix
Description:
Fix two test bugs:
1) Unitialized variable bug in test of H5C_get_entry_status()
(in test/cache.c)
2) Incorrect initialization of constant in t_cache when running
with MPE. (in testpar/t_cache.c)
Solution:
1) Don't test uninitialize variable.
2) Correct initialzation of constant in MPE case.
Platforms tested:
Tested on Heping and Copper.
Misc. update:
Code checkpoint
Description:
More progress on fractal heap, can now re-open an existing heap, although
the free space algorithm still needs work.

Linux 2.4/64 (mir)
Code cleanup/feature twist
Description:
Adjust recent H5AC routines to take H5F_t pointers instead of H5C_t
pointers, to match the rest of the H5AC routines.
This change propagated into a few of the tests, which also had some
compiler warnings cleaned up...
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Linux 2.4/64 (mir) w/C++ & FORTRAN
Add pinned entry capability to cache.
Description:
For frequently accessed cache entries, the protect/unprotect overhead
is sometimes a bottleneck.
Solution:
Allow entries to be pinned in the cache. Pinned entries can't be
evicted, but can be flushed or modified.
Platforms tested:
h5committested -- minus one small typo in test/cache.c whose fix was
tested on copper and heping only.
Misc. update:
Several bug fixes
Description:
Added config file for Cray X1 (previous file was misnamed)
Simplified some code in hyperslab.c test that seemed to have been
confusing compiler on Cray X1.
Fixed typo in config/commence.am
Cleaned up hl/src/Makefile.am
Solution:
All four fixes should be straightforward. The failure on Cray was
very difficult to debug, but involved arithmetic errors.
This change seems to fix it.
Platforms tested:
heping, copper, sol, some Cray X1 (more testing when system comes back up)
Description:
The file size test in C++ library failed on Copper because the
value returned by h5_get_file_size was intepreted incorrectly
due to different interger sizes.
Solution:
H5private.h: Added check to use stat64 and off64_t where appropriate.
h5test.c and h5test.h: used h5_stat_size_t in place of off_t.
tattr.cpp: used h5_stat_size_t in place of off_t.
Platforms tested:

Bug fix.
Description:
getenv_all would fail if one calls it without calling MPI_initialized first.

Misc. update:
Bug fix/Feature
Description:
Modify the library to use rand_r, when available, instead of srand. If
rand_r is not available, it will try to use srandom/random, and then finally
fall back to srand/rand.
Solution:
A couple places in the library use the srand() function to seed the random
number generator. This can cause problems on certain platforms and could theoretically
cause problems for users who expect a certain sequence of random numbers following their
own call to srand().
Most platforms have an implementation of rand_r, which is identical to rand, except that
it allows for explicit storage of the seed value. The configure script will now check
for the existence of rand_r to facilitate its use in the library.
Two new functions are added, to replace the macros HDsrand/HDrand. These functions are HDrand and
HDsrand. HDrand will call rand_r, if available, or random(), if available, and fall back to rand() if neither
of those is available. HDsrand will store the seed value locally, if rand_r is available. Otherwise, it will call
srandom if available, and fall back to srand otherwise.
Platforms tested:
heping, mir. Really need to test on Red Storm, since that platform motivated this fix, but the machine
is currently not available.

Bug fix.
Description:
getenv_all, like some implementations of getenv, keeps an internal buffer
for the getenv values. Application must make a copy of the content of the
returned pointer before calling getenv_all again IF it wants to use the
first content later. The previous code violated this rule and caused
error.
Solution:
Did a small revamp of the h5_fixname to fix the above problem by moving
the getenv_all for HDF5_NOCLEANUP eariler to avoid it clashing the
call of getenv_all for HDF5_PARAPREFIX. No a good permenant fix. Need
to really recode this routine.
Platforms tested:
h5committested.
Bug fix.
Description:
getenv_all will be called even when it is NOT an MPI application.
Solution:
Moved the use of getenv_all("HDF5_NOCLEANUP") to fix_name so that it will
be invoked only if a parallel driver is used.
Platforms tested:
hand tested in copper.
bug fix 504
Description:
testpar/t_mpi would hang if $HDF5_NOCLEANUP is set. E.g.,
% env HDF5_NOCLEANUP=yes mpirun -np 3 ./t_mpi
This happened because the environment variables are not exported to all
mpi processes by the mpirun command. So, some attempted to do cleanup
while others don't and some hang waiting for others to act.
Solution:
Instead individual program checking getenv, they all just called h5_cleanup
no matter. h5_cleanup now uses getenv_all to check the $HDF5_NOCLEANUP if
it is in parallel mode.
Platforms tested:
h5committested, tested pp in heping too.
Feature
Description:
Added character encoding and attribute creation property lists.
Solution:
Attributes' character encoding is set via the ACPL.
The default is ASCII, with UTF-8 being the other option currently.

Bug fix
Description:
Fortran type generation was broken in two ways. Fixed both.
Solution:
Firstly, there were a couple of path problems. Fixed a typo and
specified the full path of a file.
Secondly, the dependencies weren't right when building with HDF5-specific
commands (make lib, make check-s, etc.). Tweaked dependencies
to fix the problem.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4, sleipnir
Configure feature
Description:
Added 'make trace' target.
Solution:
Added tracing to 1.7. This was done automatically in 1.6, but left out
of 1.7 until now (oops!).
Tracing in 1.7 only happens manually, when the user types 'make trace.'
Tracing automatically requires more framework than it's worth.
I also fixed a couple of tracing bugs and ran trace.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Before this checkin, 'gmake check-s' would fail if there was a file in
the current directory named 'check-s'.
This is fixed under gmake (not sure how to fix for other makes).
Solution:
check, progs, install, etc. are what gmake calls "phony" targets,
which means that no file should be created. These targets can be
specified by a line of the form
.PHONY: check progs install ...
Automake adds this line for targets it knows about, but HDF5 has a
lot of custom rules. This checkin adds a .PHONY line for those rules.
I believe that only gmake recognizes the .PHONY line (at least, pmake
doesn't seem to), but a partial solution is better than none.
This error should occur very rarely anyway (the user has to manually
create files with names like 'build-check-s' or '_test').
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4

Bug fix
Description:
Fixed bug in hl/src Makefile that was deleting y.tab.c.
Running bin/reconfigure changed a few other files as well (somebody
probably updated Makefiles.am but forgot to bin/reconfigure).
Solution:
Automake in its wisdom adds the line "rm *.tab.c" to every distclean
in every directory. I assume that it assumes that such files are
generated during the build. Supplied an empty distclean-compile
target to remove this line from the Makefiles.in.
Platforms tested:

New feature
Description:
Check in baseline for compact group revisions, which radically revises the
source code for managing groups and object headers.
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!

be able to read your old files!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
Solution:
There's too many changes to really describe them all, but some of them
include:
- Stop abusing the H5G_entry_t structure and split it into two separate
structures for non-symbol table node use within the library: H5O_loc_t
for object locations in a file and H5G_name_t to store the path to
an opened object. H5G_entry_t is now only used for storing symbol
table entries on disk.
- Retire H5G_namei() in favor of a more general mechanism for traversing
group paths and issuing callbacks on objects located. This gets us out
of the business of hacking H5G_namei() for new features, generally.
- Revised H5O* routines to take a H5O_loc_t instead of H5G_entry_t
- Lots more...
Platforms tested:
h5committested and maybe another dozen configurations.... :-)
New feature
Description:
Add in baseline "object copy" code from Peter [in the form of a new API
routine: H5Gcopy()]. There's still some work to do (like handling variable-
length datatypes and possibly support for references) and it hasn't been tested
on mounted files yet, but the core functionality is there and working
correctly.
I've also got a set of patches to update the 1.6 branch with tweaks to
keep the branches mostly in sync, but Elena will kill me if I import them
before the 1.6.5 release is out... :-)

Bug fix/feature
Description:
Added support for -shlib in h5fc and h5c++.
Made check-install use -shlib when only shared libraries have been installed.
Solution:
h5fc and h5c++ didn't recognize -shlib. Stole code from h5cc to link against
shared libraries.
When static libraries are disabled, the examples Makefiles will automatically
use the -shlib option to link against shared libraries. Thus,
--disable-static and make check-install should work together.
Platforms tested:
heping(disable-static, enable-static, fortran, c++), modi4 (disable-static, fortran, c++, parallel, enable-static)
Bug fix
Description:
Failed parallel tests now cause make to exit with an error.
Solution:
Edited config/conclude.am to throw an error if parallel test programs fail.
Platforms tested:
heping, modi4
Added additional targets to build-all
Description:
Surveyed files to find out which ones are not built.
Added test/space_overflow and perform/benchpar to programs built with
--enable-build-all.
Discovered that tools/misc/pdb2hdf5 and tools/misc/h5import were
obsolete and deleted them.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4, sol
Misc. update:
Update of release file and removal of --enable-pdb2hdf5 to follow.
Bug fix
Description:
test/gen_new_fill.c used some old APIs that didn't compile with the current
library. Brought it up-to-date.
Some other files (test/gen_old_*) are designed to be compiled only
with older versions of the library. Removed rules to try to build
them in the current Makefiles.
Platforms tested:
mir
Bug fix
Description:
Changed configure.in to use an environment variable TR to set the path
to the tr utility.
Solution:
There are two kind of tr on Solaris with slightly different syntax.
HDF5's configure relies on the "standard" tr. Traditionally, HDF5ers
have needed to make sure that the "right" tr was found before the
wrong one in their path; now they can use an environment variable.
Platforms tested:
mir, shanti, sol
Misc. update:
Forgot to update release notes. Off to do that now.
Bug fix
Description:
Changed the name of a file from the last fix.
createnoenc.c is not gen_noencoder.c
Solution:
This is just a more standard name for the file.
Platforms tested:
tested in previous check-in; forgot to commit to cvs.
Makefile bug fix
Description:
Previously, automake didn't output rules to build perform/mpi-perf or
the test/gen_* programs.
Now these can be built by typing 'make mpi-perf' (or 'make foo') or by
configuring with --enable-build-all.
Solution:
Automake doesn't like having rules for programs it doesn't build. Tricked
it by having these programs built "sometimes"--whenever the user enables
--build-all. This should be used mostly for testing and to ensure that
these helper programs compile.
***IMPORTANT***
These programs do *not* currently compile. When --enable-build-all is used
(not the default), gen_new_fill fails because it uses an old API. This is
an existing "bug" that has simply been exposed by this checkin.
Platforms tested:

Too minor to require h5committest
bug fix.
Description:
When a parallel test script test fails, make would continue because the
way it was setup inside a for loop. Fixed it by issuing an exit 1 inside
the loop.
There was also a typo error in the newer command comparision that it
must be $${chkname} in order to be valid. Also, the test script itself
was not checked in the newer lists. All fixed.
Platforms tested:
h5committested and also hand tested in heping pp mode.
Repair synchronization bug in the metadata cache in PHDF5
Also repair numerous other bugs that surfaced in testing the
bug fix.
Description:
While operations modifying metadata must be collective, we allow
independant reads. This allows metadata caches on different processes
to adjust to different sizes, and to place the entries on their dirty
lists in different orders. Since only process 0 actually writes
metadata to disk (all other processes thought they did, but the writes
were discarded on the theory that they had to be collective), this made
it possible for another process to modify metadata, flush it, and then
read it back in in its original form (pre-modification) form. The
possibilities for file corruption should be obvious.
Solution:
Make the policy that only process 0 can write to file explicit, and
visible to the metadata caches. Thus only process 0 may flush dirty
entries -- all other caches must retain dirty entries until they are
informed by process 0 that the entries are clean.
Synchronization is handled by counting the bytes of dirty cache entries
created, and then synching up between the caches whenever the sum
exceeds an (eventually user specified) limit. Dirty metadata creation
is consistent across all processes because all operations modifying
metadata must be collective.
This change uncovered may bugs which are repaired in this checkin.
It also required modification of H5HL and H5O to allocate file space
on insertion rather than on flush from cache.

Description:
On VMS dsets test failed screaming about corrupted stack.
Debugging didn't show any obvious problems. Careful examination
of compilation warning messages (something like "function is used as

It turned out that two variables H5Z_SET_LOCAL and H5Z_CAN_APPLY
were confused with H5Z_set_local and H5Z_can_apply functions from

Description:
Disabled C++ shared libraries for Sun Workshop compiler.
Solution:
This bug only seems to happen when using the -xarch=v9 flag to compile in
64-bit mode, but disabling shared libraries entirely for this compiler is
an easier fix (I don't know how to detect 64 bit mode from the command line).

Description:
Disabled shared libraries for a number of Fortran compilers that don't

Fortran supports shared libraries. It is set in configure.in.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, colonelk, heping
Description: H5T_register() replaces any existing data conversion path
with a new path.
Solution: Added a parameter to H5T_register() and H5T_path_find() to
signal the library whether the new conversion path is from API function
H5Tregister() or from private function like H5T_init_interface(). If it
is from H5Tregister(), replace existing path. If it's from H5T_init_interface()
and the library is trying to register default hard conversion functions,
don't replace existing path because the path is registered by the library.
For example, the library registered H5T_conv_int_float() and is trying to
register H5T_conv_long_float(). The size of long is equal to int. There's
no need to replace the path H5T_conv_int_float().
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Description: The API function H5Tis_hard() which was recently checked
in has been renamed to H5Tcompiler_conv() to be more descriptive. No
other changes.
Platforms tested: fuss - simple change.
Misc. update: config/lt_vers.am to update libtool version.
Bug fix
Description:
Building with --disable-static seems to have been broken on several platforms.
Fixed this.
Configure will now disable shared libraries automatically when using pgf90
or when building on Cygwin.
Solution:
To avoid errors when using shared libraries with pgf90 (which I had not
realized were compiler-specific), I had manually set convenience libraries
to use the -static linking flag. Apparently, this is not necessary, and
caused these libraries to be created as empty archives when --disable-static
was used.
Also, some libraries were including other libraries, which was not
necessary.
I also fixed code in configure.in to correctly detect whether shared
or static libraries are enabled, and moved code that disables shared libraries
to before libtool is created (rather than editing libtool after the fact).
Despite repeated warnings that only one shared library can be linked at a
time, I have yet to have shared libraries break the linking of tests on
any system. We'll see if the Daily Tests turn up anything.
Platforms tested:
mir (fortran, C++), sleipnir (C++), modi4 (fortran, C++, parallel),

Description: Brought back changes from SX-6.
Solution: Tests will not compile. Fixed.
Platforms tested: SX-6, heping and mir with new g95
Misc. update:
Description: Quincey added the condition branch (else if (*((ST*)S) != (ST)((DT)(*((ST*)S)))))
in the definition of the macro H5T_CONV_Fx_CORE. It handles a special situation
when the source is "float" and assigned the value of "INT_MAX". Compilers do roundup
making this value "INT_MAX+1". This branch is to check that situation and return
exception for some compilers, mainly GCC.
The branch if (*((ST*)S) > (DT)(D_MAX) || (S_PREC < D_PREC && *((ST*)S) ==
(DT)(D_MAX))) is for some compilers like Sun, HP, IBM, and SGI where under
the same situation the "int" doesn't overflow.
A test was added to dt_arith.c to check 2 conversions, from float to int where the
float is INT_MAX, and from double to signed char where the double is SCHAR_MAX.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.

merging, that includes:
- Move datatype allocation into single internal routine, instead of
duplicated code that was spread out in a dozen or so places.
- Clean up guts of object header routines (H5O_*) to allow for some of
the fancieroperations that need to be performed on groups, along with
some general improvements.

Bug fix
Description:
Incorrectly terminated the received string in getenv_all
Solution:
Tasks would incorrectly terminat the environment string they received from the
root task in getenv_all.
They did the equivalent of:
env[strlen(str) + 1] = '\0'.
This resulted in a single "garbage" character inserted
at the end of the string. This wasn't noticed until now because it seems that on most
platforms this garbage character was a 0 anyway.
This has been corrected to;
env[strlen(str)] = '\0'.
Platforms tested:

Bug fix & code cleanup
Description:

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.

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

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

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.

Solution: Added a test in configure to detect Cray X1's exception. Set a flag to
indicate the machine that can handle overflow converting all floating-point to all
integer types. This flag should be set for all machines, except for Cray X1 where
floating exception is generated when the floating-point value is greater than the

Description:
When a series of files is mounted on one another and one of those files

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.)
Renamed file_handle.c as vfd.c since its tests have evloved from
merely file handles tests to other basic features of VFD's.

Platforms tested:

Misc. update:
Interim checkin of code changes moving management of the is_dirty flag
into the cache code.
Description:
Prior to this checkin, management of the is_dirty flag was handled
above the level of the metadata cache. This can no longer be allowed,
as it introduces a race condition in the proposed fix for a cache
coherency bug in PHDF5.
Solution:
Move management fo the is_dirty flag to the cache code proper.
Entries are now marked as dirty via a flag on the unprotect call.

Misc. update:
Description: In this data conversion test, from floating number to floating number,
when the source is bigger than the destination, overflow may happen. The library

the maximal value for the destination.
Solution: When this situation occurs, simply check if the destination is INFINITY
instead of comparing values.

Description:See details from Bug #213. Family member file size wasn't saved
anywhere in file. When family file is opened, the first member size determine
the member size.
Solution: this is the fifth step of checkin. Backward compatibility with v1.6
is tested. A family file created was created with the v1.6 library and opened
with this version of the library.
In the fourth step of checkin, a test suit is added for h5repart,
including a program to generate the test files, a script file to run h5repart,
and a program to verify repartitioned files can be opened by the library.
There's a change from the first step of checkin. Family name template is no
longer saved in the superblock because different pathname can make the name
different.
In the third step of checkin, h5repart has been modified. If h5repart is used
to change the size of family member file, the new size(actual member size) is saved
in the superblock.
In the second step of checkin, multi driver is checked against the driver
name saved in superblock. Wrong driver will result in a failure with an error message indicating
multi driver should be used. This change includes split driver because it's a special case for multi
driver.
In the first step of checkin. Family member size and name template(unused at this stage) are saved

Description:
Add "memory pool" internal data structure. This set of routines is
designed to add a way to allocate small pieces of information for a particular
purpose and then free all the pieces at once (i.e. without having to free each
piece individually). Memory pools are also good for localizing lots of small
allocations that logically belong together.
For example, if you were constructing a temporary linked list, you could
create a new memory pool, allocate all the nodes for the list from the memory
pool and when you were done with the list, just destroy the pool instead of
tracking through the list and freeing each block independently.

Use getenv_all for determining HDF5_PARAPREFIX instead of getenv
Description:
the environment variable HDF5_PARAPREFIX is now determined collectively, instead of
having each task call getenv.
Solution:
Environment variables set for task 0 often do not propogate to other tasks which
leads to obscure and hard to track down bugs. getenv_all was written to overcome
this by having all tasks query a single task for the value of its environment.
Eventually, all calls to getenv will be migrated to use getenv_all. For now,
only HDF5_PARAPREFIX will be determined this way.

Description:
The nbit filter test case (compound datatype with no-op field)
can not pass the daily test on heping and eirene when the

Solution:
It was found that the seg fault disappears when adding a new
index variable in the test case and using it instead of using
an existing index variable twice during initialization.
This does not make much sense since previous codes is logically
equivalent to the changed codes. So, some other factors beyond

Description:
Added new function, getenv_all (only for parallel builds)
Solution:
getenv_all is a collective version of getenv. It is used to the return the value of
an environment variable in another task and can be used to synchronize all of the
environment variables used by all of the tasks. This helps to fix problems that commonly crop up
(like with HDF5_PARAPREFIX) when an environment variable does not propogate to other tasks.
