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.
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:
sleipnir, modi4, sol
Misc. update:
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.
New feature.
Description:
Command script to build the h5perf tool by standalone mode.
Platforms tested:
Tested by hand in heping using pre-release h5pcc.
New feature.
Description:
Added the time command to the make check target to report time usage
of the execute of each test and test scripts. This gives us some idea
how long each test takes and some vague idea it is compute bound or
not.
powerpc-ibm-aix5.x:
Change $RUNPARALLEL default setting to allow it being invoked by the
time command.
Platforms tested:
h5committested.
Feature
Description:
Added H5_CFLAGS, etc. to 1.7 branch.
Now compilation flags can be put in H5_*FLAGS and they'll be used when
building hdf5 but not in h5cc.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Misc. update:
Bug fix
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).
The framework for disabling shared libraries for other C++ compilers is
in place.
Platforms tested:
sol, mir, sleipnir, modi4
Bug fix/feature
Description:
Disabled shared libraries for a number of Fortran compilers that don't
support them.
This allows other compilers to support shared Fortran libraries.
Solution:
Added a conditional, SHARED_FORTRAN_CONDITIONAL, which is true if
Fortran supports shared libraries. It is set in configure.in.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, colonelk, heping
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),
sol (fortran, C++), cygwin
tidy up.
Description:
MPE option created *.clog file whenever it is executed in MPI.
The cleanup of *.clog files were done in individual Makefile.in.
Often, it is forgotten.
Solution:
Moved the cleaning of *.clog files to CHECK_CLEANFILES in commence.am
so that it is applied whenever check-clean is called.
Platforms tested:
heping pp using MPE.
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:
minor tidy up.
Description:
Changed both test programs and test scripts to use the same suffixes
(.chkexe and .chklog). Changed from .log to .chklog to avoid running
into potential conflicts by other "things" (e.g., config.log).
Tested:
Heping.
New feature
Description:
All datasets were 1D only before. Added -g to use 2D datasets such
that it allows more options in testing various access patterns.
Platforms tested:
heping pp.
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Trim trailing whitespace, which is making 'diff'ing the two branches
difficult.
Solution:
Ran this script in each directory:
foreach f (*.[ch] *.cpp)
sed 's/[[:blank:]]*$//' $f > sed.out && mv sed.out $f
end
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
New Feature.
Description:
Added code and changes so that h5perf (pio) can be built by
standalone mode (that is built by just "h5pcc" without all these
internal files.) With the standalone mode, h5perf can be built
against different versions of hdf5 library and to contrast the
performance among them.
(Note that pio_standalone.c and pio_standalone.h are used in
standalone build only.)
Platforms tested:
Tested in copper and heping.
Bug fix and improvement.
Description:
The test output were not displayed for parallel tests.
The serial tests output were always displayed whether the test was
actually ran this time or not.
Solution:
Moved the display of test output inside the target where the actual
tests are run.
Platforms tested:
Tested in heping using pp and fortran.
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
log file and the test instead of generating them repeatedly. This
makes easier code reading, less crowded and avoid typos.
Only conclude.in is changed. The Makefile.in changes are all
derived from automake.
Platforms tested:
h5committested.
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
echo commands.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Misc. update:
Configuration feature
Description:
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.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4 (parallel and serial), copper, shanti
Bug fix
Description:
An earlier bug fix to plotting when the minimum number of processors was not 1
caused the -procs argument to be ignored.
Solution:
Added a check to see what the -procs argument was set to and plot accordingly.
Platforms tested:
colonelk
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
The ".chksh" file for a test script was being created in the "source"
location rather than the build location. This can cause problems when
multiple builds are running because "slower" machines will see the ".cshsh"
file from faster machines and will not run the test script as they should.
Solution:
Use 'basename' command to strip off the path of the script and create
the ".chksh" file in the build location.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
h5committest
bug fix.
Description:
-nt is not a universal option for the test command in all platforms.
The use of it in conclude.am cause some platforms to bark at the
Makefile generated.
Solution:
Created a command script bin/newer which tests if file1 is newer
than file2. Replace the "test file1 -nt file2" by
"newer file1 file2".
Platforms tested:
Tested in sol.
Feature
Description:
gen_report.pl throws away the plotting commands used to make the plots
in gnuplot.
Solution:
Deciding that these commands may be useful if the someone wants to reproduce
the plots (or, more importantly, manipulate them further in gnuplot), the
commands are now saved in a file called gnuplot.script
Platforms tested:
colonelk
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
When plotting, if the minimum number of processors was not 1, gen_report.pl would fail.
Solution:
The minimum number of processors in the datafile was inadvertantly hard-coded to be 1.
Fixed it to dynamically determine the number of processors from the data.
Platforms tested:
colonelk.
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Fixed bugs that caused tests to be unable to find testhdf5.sh during
daily tests, and another that broke sol and shanti.
Solution:
When tests are run, their path is ./$testname .
When scripts are run, their path has no leading "./". Fixed.
Sol and shanti don't recognize the -e option for test, but they do know
-f. Fixed.
Also modified release notes.
Platforms tested:
mir, shanti, heping
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.)
bug fix
Description:
check-s and check-p were set as pre-requistics of test. They
would get executed in parallel if parallel make is used. This
could cause problems since serial tests are used to be executed
before parallel tests. It is not known if it is always okay to
run serial and parallel tests in simultantously.
Solution:
Change check-s and check-p as actions of the target test so
that they get executed sequnentially.
Platforms tested:
heping PP.
Added check-s and check-p targets.
Description:
Added check-s and check-p targets to 1.7 branch to match changes to 1.6
branch. Now parallel and serial tests can be run separately.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4, copper
Description: Removed support for SRB driver
Solution: Removed or modified appropriate files; ran reconfigure
to regenerate Makefile.in and configure files.
Platforms tested: heping and shanti
Misc. update: ran bin/chkmanifest on heping
Feature: make install now installs h5perf
Description:
h5perf is now installed in hdf5/bin during 'make install.'
Same change as in the 1.6 branch.
Platforms tested:
mir
Configuration feature
Description:
Different Fortran compilers mangle function names in different ways
(upper case, lower case, adding underscores). To link between
Fortran and C functions, we need to know what a given function's
name is under a given compiler.
Solution:
Use autoconf's FC_WRAPPERS check to determine the Fortran
naming scheme and define the FC_FUNC_ macro to name our
functions (in H5f90proto.h). Removed references to
our old FNAME macro, as well as flags that indicated whether
function names were upper or lower case.
Platforms tested:
mir, pommier, modi4, copper, more
Bug fix
Description:
On some machines, $RUNSERIAL variable needs to be used to run
tests. Set $RUNTESTS (which is used for non-parallel tests) to
be $RUNSERIAL in configure.am.
Also, since I was updating all Makefiles.in anyway, I updated
commence.am to point to autotools installs in AFS instead of
those on heping.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4, copper
Purpose:
"Bug fix"
Description:
Hardcoded Makefiles to use /bin/sh instead of letting configure
detect shell automatically. This is what v1.6 does, and avoids
problems on janus.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, copper, modi4, mir
Feature - conditional compilation
Description:
SRB file driver and tests are now compiled only when SRB is enabled
(using --with-srb during configure).
Solution:
Added an automake conditional in configure.in, altered Makefiles.am in
src and test directories to depend on that conditional.
This should make a nice example for posterity to add conditionally
compiled sources.
Platforms tested:
heping (only configure change)
Purpose:
Added C++ wrapper for Packet Table API.
Description:
Added macro for high-level C++ library (LIBH5CPP_HL), which changes every
Makefile.in.
Added directories for high-level C++ library (though currently only Packet
Table API is supported).
Added both C++ source and tests.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, mir, modi4
Misc. update:
Automake version upgrade
Description:
Upgraded automake version from 1.6.2 to 1.9.5.
Changed bin/reconfigure script to use automake 1.9.5.
Changed configure.in and Makefiles to use new FCFLAGS and FC variables
instead of FFLAGS and F9X.
Automake and configure should now do the lion's share of the work
supporting Fortran 9X; macros in acsite.m4 are now mostly unused (will
be cleaned later).
Altered how configure handles pmake; now root-level Makefile.in is
processed by bin/reconfigure to have a .MAKEFLAGS target, since
automake no longer allows us to define unused variables.
Configure now always checks for C++ compiler even if it is not
used, since automake thinks this is the Right Thing To Do and
will break otherwise.
Platforms tested:
Sol, copper, heping, mir, sleipnir, eirene, pommier, kelgia, modi4.
Removed GASS configuration and software packages associated with
it. The following software are no longer configurable.
checking for main in -lcrypto... yes
checking for SSL_get_version in -lssl... yes
checking globus_common.h usability... yes
checking globus_common.h presence... yes
checking for globus_common.h... yes
checking for globus_module_activate in -lglobus_common... yes
checking for main in -lglobus_gass_cache... yes
checking for main in -lglobus_gaa... yes
checking for main in -lglobus_gss... yes
checking for main in -lglobus_gss_assist... yes
checking for main in -lglobus_io... yes
checking for main in -lglobus_gass_transfer_assist... yes
checking for main in -lglobus_gass_transfer... yes
checking for globus_gass_open in -lglobus_gass_file... yes
Platforms tested:
h5committested (but copper was down.) tested in modi4 too.
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
modi4 dies during build with strange errors.
The root cause of these is a two-year-old hack in HDF5's libtool
script that only takes effect on IRIX.
Solution:
Edited the libtool hack (by editing ltmain.sh) to correct a bug in
the hack.
Also made sure that compiler-specific DEFAULT_LIBS are used
when linking.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, copper, modi4, sol
Bug fix
Description:
Arabica exhibited strange errors when linker found wrong versions of
header files. This happened because include directories were
given to linker in the wrong order.
Solution:
Move include directories from AM_CFLAGS variable to INCLUDES
variable to put them before CPPFLAGS variable. Trust me, it works.
This bug may also have contributed to strange errors on other platforms
(kelgia?).
Platforms tested:
copper, sleipnir, arabica.
(h5dump broke while building on arabica, but this happened in
a clean checkout, too).
Bug fix
Description:
pmake (on modi4, for instance) complains about undefined variables
if it is run without the -V flag, which turns those errors to warnings.
Solution:
Added test to configure.in to see if $MAKE will allow Makefiles
with undefined variables. If not, sets -V flag in AM_MAKEFLAGS.
Ensured that all custom make targets use AM_MAKEFLAGS.
Also defined all variables that caused errors in top-level Makefile.am.
This means that pmake can be used to build hdf5 *from the top level
only*. To run make from a subdirectory, still need to use -V flag
(or use make or gmake).
Platforms tested:
modi4, heping, copper, sleipnir
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Parallel builds were breaking in tools/lib
Solution:
talign didn't realize it depended on libh5tools.la because its
dependencies listed the full path (../../tools/lib/libh5tools.la).
Changed this, and made similar changes in a couple of other
directories.
This checkin should also add the --foreign flag to every Makefile.in
Platforms tested:
sleipnir (minor change)
New feature
Description:
Add basic code for new B-tree implementation. They don't do much yet,
aren't hooked up to anything yet and the format may change, but I'd like to
start getting them into the daily tests.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Too minor to require h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
Found the permanant fix to automake/CVS dependency problem
Solution:
Added AM_MAINTAINER_MODE macro to configure.in.
Now automake will never try to regenerate Makefiles, Makefiles.in,
configure, H5config.h, etc. when they are out of date, nor will it
print any warnings.
Developers should be very very careful to use reconfigure script,
and can add --enable-maintainer-mode flag to configure on heping
to regenerate these files correctly.
Platforms tested:
heping sleipnir copper
