Correct corner case for creating a contiguous dataset with a zero-sized
dataspace, when the allocation time is set to early.
Also clean up a few compiler warnings in the dataspace code.
Tested on:
Mac OSX/64 10.7.3 (amazon) w/debug & parallel
by using an escape character. For example, for a dataset "/dset"
containing attribute "speed(m/h)", use "h5dump -a "/dset/speed(\/h)"
to show the content of the attribute. See details at HDFFV-7523
Fix for HDFFV-7835 h5diff: incorrect result for comparing the two same type symlinks as dangling links.
Description:
When two symbolic dangling links are compared with --follow-symlinks option,
the result should be same. It works for comparing two files, but didn't work
for comparing two objects.
Test cases were added and tagged with jira#.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), ostrich (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), linew (solaris-BE), Windows (32-LE cmake), Cmake (jam)
HDFFV-7602 - GMQS: HDF5 command tools: Provide framework for reusable test files among tools
Stage2 working for h5ls tool.
Description:
Update cmake script to fetch test files from any tools to a test directory
and run test in organized manner.
Also keep the apperance similiar to shell script for better maintainance.
Tested:
CMake (Windows and jam)
If a link is specified on the command with the -d option, call the handle_links function on error from the H5Dopen command.
Updated test file results with error stack when link not found.
Tested: local linux and jam
Task for HDFFV-7862 - Select data by chunk direction to improve performance in h5repack
Description:
h5repack sometimes became very slow when handling big chunked datasets in
certain cases. (when chunk boundary doesn't match with a hyperslab boundary.)
The main issue was from figuring out a hypeslab without considering chunk
boundary to read from and write to such datasets.
The update was made to figure out a better hyperslab unit with considering
chunk boundary to improve performance for such cases prior to the update.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), ostrich (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), linew (solaris-BE), Windows
Added code to display the version information of XL fortran and C++ compiler
version information. (This is just a quick fix for the AIX XL compilers.
The overall algorithm of compilers version information needs an overhaul.)
Tested: ADA machine. (No committest because the changes applied to AIX XL
compilers only.)
