Update help page for exclude-path feature.
Description:
Related to "1890: h5diff excluding object for file comparison via command line" checkins. (r19406)
Tested:
jam, amani, heiwa
Fix for Bug1975 h5diff - support recursive comparison on group when specified as an object
Description:
Compare member objects and groups recursively when two files or groups are specified to be compared. Support parallel diff and handling symbolic links accordingly.
Tested:
jam, amani, heiwa
Rename '--follow-links' to '--follow-symlinks'
Description:
The '--follow-links' option is to follow symbolic links (soft and external).
Make the name more intuitive and specific to the feature.
Tested:
jam, amani and linew
bugzilla 1754: h5diff: support comparing through links.
(original check-in svn revision #18164)
Description:
fix the hang issue in parallel mode when compare external-link.
add --no-dangling-links option.
add test cases (#450-#459) relate to the new option.
improve test script to check exit code.
update --help relate to the new options.
correct some indentations.
Tested:
h5committest (jam, amani and linew)
Add test cases for h5diff check-in (svn revision #18164).
Description:
This test cases are for testing comparing through various link combinations
relate to bugzilla report 1754.
Also improved the test script to handle external link cases and
simplified to use single line instead of double for each test cases.
Tested on Jam
" Use "--use-system-epsilon" for system EPSILON
" Use "-p" or "-d" for whatever user's choice of epsilon
" Use "-p 0" or "-d 0" for strict equality (same as default)
-N, --nan Avoid NaNs detection
Note: there is no shell script run for datasets with NaN because the output is non portable (different results and NaN strings for different systems)
Tested: windows, linux
Summary: when using h5diff to compare the results of h5repack (or other tools that copy one HDF5 file to another), a new option is needed to allow h5diff to make an "absolute" comparison of the 2 files. This is the "contents" mode explained in the usage below.
If this mode is present, objects in both files must match (must be exactly the same). If this does not happen, the tool returns an error code of 1 (instead of the success code of 0)
Changes to the h5repack test script: the call to h5diff was changed to include -c (maintaining the previous -q).
tested: windows, linux, solaris
The name of the files are now given by its full name relative to $srcdir
To avoid the printing of the complete full path of the test file, that hides
all the other parameters for long paths, the printing of the command line
is done first in TESTING with the name only of the test file, not its full path
the printing in the expected output that had the file name was removed as well as 3 tests that tested error messages in which the file name was present
tested: linux (in 2 different build directories relative to $srcdir), solaris
