Misc. update:
Update
Description:
Fixed description. Should be 1-byte instead of 1-bytes
Platforms tested:
Linux (Small change, no need for full checking)
Misc. update:
Feature Add
Description:
It's now possible to print out characters as actual characters
instead of their decimal equivalent numbers. It's the same thing that
h5ls does. The flag to do this is "--string" or "-r".
Platforms tested:
Verbena (Fortran & C++)
Arabica (Fortran)
Modi4 (Fortran & Parallel)
Misc. update:
added more tests, described in the test matrix
Description:
test -r
test -l
expanded -d, -p and -n tests
test different types to include links and named types
test for non supported classes, e.g bitfield, opaque , etc
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
added more tests to automatic testing
Description:
added test for an invalid option letter
added test for -h option
added test for an invalid option -d
added test for an invalid option -d number
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux, solaris, sgi
Misc. update:
added test script for h5diff
code cleaning for alpha release
makefile now generates the h5difftst.c program that generates 2 .h5 files for testing
Description:
the .sh script runs several runs of h5diff and compares the output
with a predifined output located in /tools/testfiles (.txt files)
righ now it has only one test
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux (other platforms later , ok !? )
Misc. update:
Purpose:
New Feature; Optimization; Clean-up
(Merged from 1.4 branch)
Description:
There is no symbolic constant to pass to functions that take an
optional object ID for when the caller wants to indicate no object
ID. In the past the caller always passed a negative integer.
GPFS performs poorly.
The h5ls tool decides whether to list the file name in the output
based on a compile-time choice, which isn't always optimal at run
time.
Solution:
Added a symbolic constant H5I_INVALID_HID.
Added code to tell the mmfsd of GPFS to forego byte range token
prefetching.
h5ls decides whether to print the file name at runtime based on
the number of objects being listed.

SuSE Linux (arborea), gcc and mpich-1.2.4

Bug Fix
Description:
On AIX machines, the number of script interpreters which ran the
testh5dump.sh script would strip too many of the quotes away, causing
problems if you're quoting something with a space in it.
Solution:
Just got rid of the spaces and used ',' instead.
Platforms tested:
AIX and Linux
Bug Fix
Description:
There was a problem with having a lot of groups nested together. We
could only handle 1024 characters at most, but, in a parallel program
especially, it could occur that there were lots and lots of groups
and would be more than 1024.
Solution:
I made the "objname" part of the obj_t structure a pointer instead of
a fixed size. Added code to allocate/deallocate the memory we need
for it. Had to fix how the "prefix" was being handled in the h5dump
program. It was also set to only 1024 characters in length. I made it
dynamic.
Added a test case...Go me!
Platforms tested:
Linux, Solaris
Purpose:
Feature Add
Description:
Added support for dumping Group Comments. This involved a
modification of the DDL as well.
Solution:
Steal code from h5ls and put it in the h5dump. The ddl.html file was
updated as normal. And a test was created...
Platforms tested:
Dangermouse, Modi4, Kelgia
Purpose:
bug fixed
Description:
HDF4 Vdata is extensible, when converted, the new HDF4 data set should also be extensible.
Solution:
Make the HDF4 dataset converted from Vdata unlimited dimensions.
These three testing files should be updated accordingly.
Platforms tested:
Linux, RedHat 6.2
Purpose:
add another test file
Description:
Solution:
Platforms tested:
eirene, arabica
[machines you have tested the changed version. This is absolute
important. Test it out on at least two or three different platforms
such as Big-endian-32bit (SUN/IRIX), little-endian-32(LINUX) and
64-bit (IRIX64/UNICOS/DEC-ALPHA) would be good.]

Add another test file

Improvement
Description:
The stdout and stderr were both redirected to an output file. This
works fine in tradition sequential Unix machines. But in some
parallel systems (like mpi-jobs in IBM SP), the stderr is merged
with stdout alright but not in the exact order as expected. This
is not deterministic in parallel jobs. So, the test output are
all there but the ordering maynot be as expected.
Solution:
Redirect stderr to separated file and append it to the stdout
file after test-command is executed. Then compare it with
the expected output. This eliminate the assumption that
stdout and stderr must merged in "chronical orders".
The .ddl file are updated by moving all stderr text to the end of the
file.
Platforms tested:
eirene.
Purpose:
update h4toh5 converter utility test files
Description:
better output of HDF4 dimensional name list
Solution:
Platforms tested:
eirene,arabica
Purpose:
update h4toh5 testing files
Description:
Now we are using fixed size for HDF5 dimensional name list and h5dump
output is appended with 000/000/.......................
It looks ugly and annoying.
Solution:
Use NULLTERM for SDS dimensional list names
Platforms tested:
RedHat 6.2(eirene) and solaris 2.7(arabica)
Updated
Description:
Updated test results for the h5dumper's XML option. The tool now
conforms with the fixes implemented in the 1.4 branch.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Bug fix.
Description:
Order of elements in groups is wrong. (Need to find out why
h5gen accepted this at all.)
Note that test output had to be corrected in some cases.
Solution:
Fixed xml_dump_group to do the right order to match the DTD
Platforms tested:
Linux, solaris.
Purpose:
fix bug in XML output
Description:
OBJ-XID, Parents, etc. were messed up in several cases.
Solution:
Fixed. Updated tests to have correct results in them
Note: tvldtype.h5.xml is a junk file,
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7
