Maintenance on Windows
Description:
Update project file because the source file names have benn changed
Solution:
Platforms tested:
WIndows XP
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Retrieving an object's name could fail (in various ways) under certain
circumstances (mostly having to do with mounted files).
Solution:
Re-write & simplify "get object name" code to fix error in a better way
than adding yet another hack to the previous pile of hacks... :-)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
Tone down the optimization flags for gcc 4.2.x in the same way as we
do for all the other gcc 3/4 builds, to avoid datatype conversion issues.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/gcc 4.2
Not tested by h5committest
Description: Renamed lex.yy.c to H5LTanalyze.c, y.tab.c to H5LTparse.c, and
y.tab.h to H5LTparse.h in hl/src. Changed definition of opaque type to ommit the tag.
Changed the test for opaque type in hl/test, too.
Platforms tested: h5committest, fuss, and sleipnir.
Misc. update: MANIFEST
Description: The g++ compiler on sleipnir doesn't like variable name
"class". There're also some other warnings.
Solution: Changed "class" to another name and fixed the warnings.
Platforms tested: sleipnir - simple changes.
Description: This is the second step of conversion between data type and
text, H5LTdtype_to_text().
Solution: Similar to h5dump, this function print the DDL description of
a data type into a string.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Maintenance on Windows
Description:
Update workspace due to project h52gif.dsp and h52gifdll.dsp setting changes
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Windows XP
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Libraries were listed in the wrong order in tools/gifconv Makefile.am, confusing
the linker.
Solution:
Put HDF5 library after tools library in Makefile.am and ran reconfigure.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir
Feature.
Description:
Modified it so that it can be compiled outside of HDF5 library as a standalone
program. e.g., mpicc -DSTANDALONE prog.c.
Platforms tested:
Tested in Red storm and heping.
h52gif bug fix (494)
Description:
the reading routines were using file datatype sizes for memory allocation
Changed the HDF5 read routines to use memory types and sizes,
for both the image and pallete datasets
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
Misc. update:
Improvement
Description:
Release action now prints a message showing Release version and where it
deposits it.
Platforms tested:
Change is simple and will test by hand after check in.
Misc. update:
Makefile fix
Description:
The h5diff parallel test script depends on the serial test script.
Added this dependency.
Solution:
Used SCRIPT_DEPEND variable. Also added ph5diff (when it is compiled).
Platforms tested:
mir
Bug fix
Description:
Fogot to commit file config/examples.am in previous checkin.
Solution:
The examples.am file contains common Makefile rules for the example
directories.
Improvement
Description:
Some parallel system would dump some system messages in the stdout
stream of an MPI application. That caused the output matching script
to fail unnecessarily.
Solution:
Added the STDOUT_FILTER feature to filter out those system messages
out of stdout result.
Platforms tested:
Tested in LANL Lambda.
Improvement.
Description:
Splitted the "make check" into "make check-s" and "make check-p" so that
it is clearer which nature of tests are being tested.
Platforms tested:
heping (serial and pp).
Patch.
Description:
Copper would fail with a message of
0032-113 Out of memory in routine unknown, task 0
when run with 3 processes and size 1MB in MPI-IO tests.
It seems to be a copper MPIO error.
Solution:
Reduced the upper bound of default write size to 1/2MB (but
tests only go to 1/4MB) for now, pending permenant fix from
Copper.
Platforms tested:
Copper.
Bug fix
Description:
Remove several macros that are already defined in H5private.h and are
causing failures on copper.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
Minor bug fixes.
Description:
1. Changed free() calls to HDfree()
2. Corrected behavior of -m command-line parameter
3. Changed return value to always return 0.
Solution:
2. The -m flag tells the test to run only the MPI IO tests. However, it would incorrectly make
the test run both the MPI and POSIX tests (same as the default behavior).
3. This test is known to fail on many platforms, and, even on those platforms where it usually passes,
it is known to suffer transient failures (especially with small test file sizes). It's outcome is
also very dependent on the filesystem on which the testfile is created. Corrected
the program to always return success, so that it doesn't interfere with the daily tests.
The motivation for this is that
this test has nothing to do with the HDF library and is an auxiliary test. Failures in t_posix_complaint
do not necessarily mean that parallel HDF will fail, but simply indicate something to look into,
especially on new platforms. This is now an "output only" test, and any errors will be only be visible
in the output.
Platforms tested:
copper (all of these were minor changes)
