----------------------
./src/H5A.c
Named data types can have attributes.
Fixed bugs where the API functions didn't check the return
values of their internal counterparts and thus the automatic
error reporting didn't work.
Fixed some places where the error stack wasn't cleared after a
function returned failure.
Data types returned by H5Aget_type() are always read-only.
If the `attr_num' argument of H5Aiterate() is null then it
acts like H5Giterate() instead of failing -- it begins
processing attributes with the first one.
./src/H5D.c
We check for allocation overruns when scalar datasets are
stored in external files.
./src/H5O.c
H5O_modify() will fail if the message is >=16kB.
./src/H5Oattr.c
Split some long lines
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tprivate.h
Added H5T_entof() to support attributes on named types.
./src/h5ls.c
Prints the names of attributes and their sizes.
./test/cmpd_dset.c
./test/dsets.c
./test/dtypes.c
./test/extend.c
./test/external.c
./test/gheap.c
./test/istore.c
./test/links.c
./test/shtype.c
If the environment variable HDF5_NOCLEANUP is defined then the
temporary files are not removed. The testhdf5 program still
has the bug that it removes *.h5, clobbering test files from
other programs... oh well.
./test/dtypes.c
Added attribute tests.
----------------------
./html/Datasets.html
Fixed a couple of typos.
./src/H5.c
Added the `Z' modifier to HDfprintf() for `size_t' sizes. Use
it like this:
HDfprintf(stderr,"size is %Zd\n", (size_t)x);
./src/H5AC.c
./src/H5F.c
./src/H5Fprivate.h
The maximum number of meta data objects that can be cached can
be set from the application (but the library might not honor
it every time; it's a hint).
./src/H5D.c
Changed a warning message so it's not so alarming.
./src/H5Fistore.c
Chunks can be cached.
./src/H5O.c
./src/H5Oprivate.h
Added H5O_copy() and H5O_free() to copy and free messages.
./src/H5P.c
./src/H5Ppublic.h
Added H5Pset_cache() and H5Pget_cache() and changed lots of
"template" to "property list".
./src/H5Z.c
./src/H5Zpublic.h
Miscellaneous little things to clean up. Mostly just removed
H5Z_MAXVAL and added H5Z_USERDEF_MIN and H5Z_USERDEF_MAX.
./MANIFEST
./test/Makefile.in
./test/chunk.c [NEW]
Added a performance test for chunk caching. It looks at the
amount of I/O instead of timing because timing is partly
dependent on the chunk size and I wanted a measurement that
was a function of only the cache size. Run `chunk' with no
arguments and then say `gnuplot x-gnuplot' to see the plots
(press return between plots). Postscript files are created for
each plot.
./test/big.c
./test/cmpd_dset.c
./test/extend.c
./test/external.c
./test/gheap.c
Added H5F_ACC_DEBUG so we can see cache performance
statistics.
----------------------
./MANIFEST
./src/Makefile.in
./test/Makefile.in
Added new files.
./config/linux
./src/H5HL.c
./src/H5HLprivate.h
./src/H5MF.c
./src/H5MFprivate.h
Added `-DH5HL_DEBUG -DH5MF_DEBUG' to the debug list.
./html/H5.format.html
Updated shared object message information.
./src/H5D.c
Datasets can now share data types.
./src/H5F.c
Updated a comment that referred to H5ACC_WRITE.
./src/H5HG.c
./src/H5HGprivate.h
Moved a few things around. Made debugging better so you can
now give a collection address to ./src/debug and it shows some
useful stuff.
./src/H5O.c
./src/H5Ocont.c
./src/H5Odtype.c
./src/H5Oefl.c
./src/H5Olayout.c
./src/H5Oname.c
./src/H5Onull.c
./src/H5Oprivate.h
./src/H5Osdspace.c
./src/H5Oshared.c [NEW]
./src/H5Ostab.c
Supports shared messages.
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tpkg.h
./src/H5Tprivate.h
./src/H5Tpublic.h
The H5Tshare() function allows the user to give the library
hints about how a data type will be used.
./test/shtype.c
Tests the H5Tshare() function.
./test/gheap.c
Tests the global heap.
./configure.in
./config/BlankForm [NEW]
./config/alpha-dec
./config/freebsd2.2.1
./config/hpux10.20
./config/irix6.2
./config/irix64
./config/linux
./config/powerpc-ibm-aix4.2.1.0
./config/rs6000-ibm-aix4.1.4.0
./config/solaris2.5
Cleaned up lots of configuration stuff and made the site
configuration files lots easier and more uniform. To make a
new file grab the BlankForm and modify it.
By default, debugging is turned on for most packages. Within
a package one can use `#ifdef H5AC_DEBUG' to wrap debugging
code. Other options are:
--enable-debug
--enable-debug=yes
The default, most but not all packages.
--disable-debug
--enable-debug=no
--enable-debug=none
The symbol NDEBUG is defined and none of the package
debug symbols.
--enable-debug=all
Debugging is turned on for all packages. This might
produce lots of output.
--enable-debug=g,d
Debugging is turned on for H5G and H5D.
A compile mode is also now supported
--enable-production
--enable-production=yes
The library is compiled with optimizations turned on.
The compiler flags are augmented by adding PROD_CFLAGS
and PROD_CPPFLAGS which are defined in the site config
file.
--disable-production
--enable-production=no
The default. The library is compiled for development
by including DEBUG_CFLAGS and DEBUG_CPPFLAGS defined in
the site config file. This is usually just `-g'.
--enable-production=profile
--enable-production=pg
Builds a library for profiling by including the flags
from PROFILE_CFLAGS and PROFILE_CPPFLAGS defined in the
site config file. This is usullay just `-pg' but it
could include optimization flags as well depending on
the type of profile one wants.
In summary, configure by saying `./configure' and you'll get a
development version of the library. Configure by saying
`./configure --enable-production --disable-debug' and you'll
get a production version with no debugging code.
