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)
2 tests that were previously incorporated inside the array indices test file were separated from it. These are a test with a dataset with dimensions greater tan 4GB and a test to read by hyperslabs
Fix several bugs
1) the parsing of subsetting was using atoi to convert the parameter to an int, which caused problems for numbers greater that int. Substitute with atof
2) the printing of indices in the subsetting case was not being done. Solution: calculate the element position at the start of the subsetting using the algorythm
Given an index I(z,y,x) its position from the beginning of an array of sizes A(size_z, size_y,size_x) is given by
Position of I(z,y,x) = index_z * size_y * size_x
+ index_y * size_x
+ index_x
And pass that position to the function that dumps data, h5tools_dump_simple_data.
3) several index counters were declared as int, use hsize_t instead
4) modified the test generation program so that it includes test cases for subsetting of 1d, 2d, 3d, and 4d arrays and add these tests to the shell script
Purpose:
bug fix, new test file
Description:
h5dump was not properly displaying array indices > 3D
Solution:
added the same algorythm and data structure that h5diff uses to calculate the array index
from a element number position
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
Misc. update:
h5dump new tests
Description:
added new tests for the print of array indices (nested objects, several ranks)
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
AIX
solaris
Misc. update:
h5dump output change, new tests
Description:
the storage layout output format the storage layout output format had some changes
same for the user defined filter
add an option (-y) for not printing the array indices (default is print indices )
the option for escaping non printable characters covers all characters (default is not escape)
(this might be not very portable, the test files are tstring.ddl and tstringe.ddl )
add tests for the new options
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
AIX
