HDFFV-7514 - GMQS: h5dump - improve effectiveness of testing scripts for handling expected output files
Description:
Fist phase for h5dump test update. Next phase will be for h5ls.
This is prerequisite for 'HDFFV-7602 Tools - upgrade tools' test scripts to share test files among tools, providing framework for test file re-usability.'
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), heiwa (linuxppc64-BE), linew (solaris-BE), Windows (32-LE), Cmake (jam)
Add "use the latest format" support for dataspace object header encode/
decode routines and clean up format a bit for the latest format (new to 1.8.x
releases)
Remove storing 'perm' parameter for array datatypes in memory and the file,
and add test to make certain that if any user applications are attempting to
store them, we get some reports back. (Should be unlikely, since the RefMan
says that the parameter is not implemented and is unsupported).
Carry those changes into the tests, etc.
Clean up a bunch more compiler warnings.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 4.11 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe
Linux/32 2.4 (heping) w/FORTRAN & C++
Linux/64 2.4 (mir) w/enable-1.6-compat
This is an omibus update to the h5dump program.
1. Fixes bug 888
2. updates XML output to 1.6
Description:
