Add windows threads support to HDF5.
Description:
Added calls to the windows threads library to the H5TS layer, and wrapped
most calls to either pthreads or windows threads library with portable
H5TS-style defines. Modified tests to use portable function definitions
as well.
This can be configured via CMake with the HDF5_ENABLE_THREADSAFE
option, and should work on windows vista and later operating systems.
Tested:
h5committest, plus threadsafe with pthreads on jam and amani,
and tested on a Windows Vista VM with threadsafe using windows threads.
Tested platform:
Kagiso only since it is only a comment block change. If it works in one
machine, it should work in all, I hope. Still need to check the parallel
build on copper.
Code cleanup
Description:
Refactor library testing framework (used for the testhdf5 & ttsafe tests)
to remove almost all of the duplicated code, moving the common code into a
new 'testframe.c' source file.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w & w/o thread-safety
h5committest
Update
Description:
Updated the Copyright statement
Platforms tested:
Linux (This change is only in the comments, so I just check that the
modules still compile)
Misc. update:
Update
Description:
Changed includes of the form:
#include <hdf5_file.h>
to
#include "hdf5_file.h"
so that gcc can pick them up easier without including the system
header files since we don't care about them.
Platforms tested:
Linux
that all HDF5 API functions are protected by a mutex lock. Basically,
serialized all API calls. To use it, use
configure --enable-threadsafe --with-pthread
