6b45f5172c [svn-r11245] Purpose:
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

427ff7da28 [svn-r9727] Purpose:
Bug Fix/Code Cleanup/Doc Cleanup/Optimization/Branch Sync :-)

Description:
    Generally speaking, this is the "signed->unsigned" change to selections.
However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier
until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation.  So... I
brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the
release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in
performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch,
but not the other.

    I've also tagged the repository before making this checkin with the label
"before_signed_unsigned_changes".

Description:
    Move further in the testing framework cleanup, eliminating all the
global variables (moving them into testframe.c as static variables) from the
testing framework code and moving it into the libh5test.a.

9a433b99a5 [svn-r6252] Purpose:
Lots of performance improvements & a couple new internal API interfaces.

Description:
    Performance Improvements:
        - Cached file offset & length sizes in shared file struct, to avoid
            constantly looking them up in the FCPL.
        - Generic property improvements:
            - Added "revision" number to generic property classes to speed
                up comparisons.
            - Changed method of storing properties from using a hash-table
                to the TBBT routines in the library.
            - Share the propery names between classes and the lists derived
                from them.
            - Removed redundant 'def_value' buffer from each property.
            - Switching code to use a "copy on write" strategy for
                properties in each list, where the properties in each list
                are shared with the properties in the class, until a
                property's value is changed in a list.
        - Fixed error in layout code which was allocating too many buffers.
        - Redefined public macros of the form (H5open()/H5check, <variable>)
            internally to only be (<variable>), avoiding innumerable useless
            calls to H5open() and H5check_version().
        - Reuse already zeroed buffers in H5F_contig_fill instead of
            constantly re-zeroing them.
        - Don't write fill values if writing entire dataset.
        - Use gettimeofday() system call instead of time() system when
            checking the modification time of a dataset.
        - Added reference counted string API and use it for tracking the
            names of objects opening in a file (for the ID->name code).
        - Removed redundant H5P_get() calls in B-tree routines.
        - Redefine H5T datatype macros internally to the library, to avoid
            calling H5check redundantly.
        - Keep dataspace information for dataset locally instead of reading
            from disk each time.  Added new module to track open objects
            in a file, to allow this (which will be useful eventually for
            some FPH5 metadata caching issues).
        - Remove H5AC_find macro which was inlining metadata cache lookups,
            and call function instead.
        - Remove redundant memset() calls from H5G_namei() routine.
        - Remove redundant checking of object type when locating objects
            in metadata cache and rely on the address only.
        - Create default dataset object to use when default dataset creation
            property list is used to create datasets, bypassing querying
            for all the property list values.
        - Use default I/O vector size when performing raw data with the
            default dataset transfer property list, instead of querying for
            I/O vector size.
        - Remove H5P_DEFAULT internally to the library, replacing it with
            more specific default property list based on the type of
            property list needed.
        - Remove redundant memset() calls in object header message (H5O*)
            routines.
        - Remove redunant memset() calls in data I/O routines.
        - Split free-list allocation routines into malloc() and calloc()-
            like routines, instead of one combined routine.
        - Remove lots of indirection in H5O*() routines.
        - Simplify metadata cache entry comparison routine (used when
            flushing entire cache out).
        - Only enable metadata cache statistics when H5AC_DEBUG is turned
            on, instead of always tracking them.
        - Simplify address comparison macro (H5F_addr_eq).
        - Remove redundant metadata cache entry protections during dataset
            creation by protecting the object header once and making all
            the modifications necessary for the dataset creation before
            unprotecting it.
        - Reduce # of "number of element in extent" computations performed
            by computing and storing the value during dataspace creation.
        - Simplify checking for group location's file information, when file
            has not been involving in file-mounting operations.
        - Use binary encoding for modification time, instead of ASCII.
        - Hoist H5HL_peek calls (to get information in a local heap)
            out of loops in many group routine.
        - Use static variable for iterators of selections, instead of
            dynamically allocation them each time.
        - Lookup & insert new entries in one step, avoiding traversing
            group's B-tree twice.
        - Fixed memory leak in H5Gget_objname_idx() routine (tangential to
            performance improvements, but fixed along the way).
        - Use free-list for reference counted strings.
        - Don't bother copying object names into cached group entries,
            since they are re-created when an object is opened.

        The benchmark I used to measure these results created several thousand
        small (2K) datasets in a file and wrote out the data for them.  This is
        Elena's "regular.c" benchmark.

        These changes resulted in approximately ~4.3x speedup of the
        development branch when compared to the previous code in the
        development branch and ~1.4x speedup compared to the release
        branch.

        Additionally, these changes reduce the total memory used (code and
        data) by the development branch by ~800KB, bringing the development
        branch back into the same ballpark as the release branch.

        I'll send out a more detailed description of the benchmark results
        as a followup note.

    New internal API routines:
        Added "reference counted strings" API for tracking strings that get
            used by multiple owners without duplicating the strings.
        Added "ternary search tree" API for text->object mappings.
