Misc. update:
Updated release notes
Description:
Mentioned that shared C++ and Fortran libraries are supported in
INSTALL and RELEASE.txt.
Platforms tested:
documentation change only
new features
Description:
added support for the scale/offset filter
there is a new filter symbol 'SOFF'
-f SOFF=<scale_factor,scale_type>
scale_factor = integer
scale_type = 'IN' or 'DS'
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Linux
SunOS
Misc. update:
Feature.
Description:
Added ALARM_ON, ALARM_OFF feature to terminate tests that run more than
the default time limit. So far, the feature is applied in the standard test
frame.
Platforms tested:
heping PP.
Bug fix
Description:
Using the -xarch=v9 flag to specify 64-bit compilation breaks C++ shared
libraries.
Disable shared C++ libraries if this flag is used.
Solution:
Instead of trying to disable compilers which recognize the -xarch flag,
grep for it in CXX, CXXFLAGS, etc.
Platforms tested:
modi4, shanti, sleipnir
Misc. update:
Update to RELEASE and build instructions will be forthcoming once
shared Fortran/C++ libraries are regularly passing the Daily Tests.
Description:
I couldn't get the HDF logo to appear, when the location for the
html files generated by doxygen is arbitrary. This arbitrary
directory doesn't contain the logo image file, which would be
placed in a planned directory.
The logo is removed now, but the image file is kept in the CVS
under hdf5/c++/src, just in case when I can find a solution.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (heping)
Windows XP
Misc. update:
New feature.
Description:
Command script to build the h5perf tool by standalone mode.
Platforms tested:
Tested by hand in heping using pre-release h5pcc.
Purpose: Typo fix
Description: Declaration of long double variable was after executable
statement. Many compilers choked ;-(
Solution: Declare variable before the first executable statement
Platforms tested: shanti (compilation only), copper (tests passed)
Misc. update:
New feature.
Description:
Added the time command to the make check target to report time usage
of the execute of each test and test scripts. This gives us some idea
how long each test takes and some vague idea it is compute bound or
not.
powerpc-ibm-aix5.x:
Change $RUNPARALLEL default setting to allow it being invoked by the
time command.
Platforms tested:
h5committested.
Bug fix.
Description:
In some racing condition, the process ID file might be removed just
the moment before timekeeper cats its content. When that happens,
the $pid is a blank. Timekeeper was not prepared for this.
Solution:
Added code to verify $pid is some number before proceeding.
Platforms tested:
Tested by hand only.
Description:
Fortran multi_file test failed on SX-6. It turned out that compiler
could not handle (long long HADDR_MAX) * ( float var). The result of this
operation was 0.
Solution:
Introduced long double variable to store the value of HADDR_MAX
and use the new variable in * operation. (Suggested by John)
Platforms tested: SX-6, mir with PGI compilers; a very minor change
Misc. update:
Description:
On VMS dsets test failed screaming about corrupted stack.
Debugging didn't show any obvious problems. Careful examination
of compilation warning messages (something like "function is used as
data in dsets") made me to search for duplicated names.
It turned out that two variables H5Z_SET_LOCAL and H5Z_CAN_APPLY
were confused with H5Z_set_local and H5Z_can_apply functions from
H5Z.c file.
Solution:
Changed variable names to H5Z_SET_LOCAL_TEST and H5Z_CAN_APPLY_TEST.
Platforms tested: Alpha VMS, heping; minor change
Misc. update:
Code cleanup/bug fix
Description:
Hoist function call out of inner loop of type conversion by retrieving
source & destination precisions once, outside the loop.
There's still some overhead because this information is stored in
variables set at run-time, when it's really constant for the particular
machine. Further work to set compiler macros would allow this code to be
optimized better by the compiler with dead code removal. We'll continue
to work on this area...
Also, made new internal H5T_compiler_conv routine static instead of of
private, until we need to reference it from another source code module.
Platforms tested:
h5committest
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Description: Fortran array was passed directly to a C function. Since
size of fortran INTEGER is bigger than size
of C int on SX-6 with -ew switch, the passed data was wrong.
Solution: Copy Fortran array to the appropriate C array.
Platforms tested: SX-6 ; trivial change
Misc. update:
Feature
Description:
Added H5_CFLAGS, etc. to 1.7 branch.
Now compilation flags can be put in H5_*FLAGS and they'll be used when
building hdf5 but not in h5cc.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Disabled C++ shared libraries for Sun Workshop compiler.
Solution:
This bug only seems to happen when using the -xarch=v9 flag to compile in
64-bit mode, but disabling shared libraries entirely for this compiler is
an easier fix (I don't know how to detect 64 bit mode from the command line).
The framework for disabling shared libraries for other C++ compilers is
in place.
Platforms tested:
sol, mir, sleipnir, modi4
Bug fix/feature
Description:
Disabled shared libraries for a number of Fortran compilers that don't
support them.
This allows other compilers to support shared Fortran libraries.
Solution:
Added a conditional, SHARED_FORTRAN_CONDITIONAL, which is true if
Fortran supports shared libraries. It is set in configure.in.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, colonelk, heping
Description: H5T_register() replaces any existing data conversion path
with a new path.
Solution: Added a parameter to H5T_register() and H5T_path_find() to
signal the library whether the new conversion path is from API function
H5Tregister() or from private function like H5T_init_interface(). If it
is from H5Tregister(), replace existing path. If it's from H5T_init_interface()
and the library is trying to register default hard conversion functions,
don't replace existing path because the path is registered by the library.
For example, the library registered H5T_conv_int_float() and is trying to
register H5T_conv_long_float(). The size of long is equal to int. There's
no need to replace the path H5T_conv_int_float().
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Description: The API function H5Tis_hard() which was recently checked
in has been renamed to H5Tcompiler_conv() to be more descriptive. No
other changes.
Platforms tested: fuss - simple change.
Misc. update: config/lt_vers.am to update libtool version.
Bug fix
Description:
Building with --disable-static seems to have been broken on several platforms.
Fixed this.
Configure will now disable shared libraries automatically when using pgf90
or when building on Cygwin.
Solution:
To avoid errors when using shared libraries with pgf90 (which I had not
realized were compiler-specific), I had manually set convenience libraries
to use the -static linking flag. Apparently, this is not necessary, and
caused these libraries to be created as empty archives when --disable-static
was used.
Also, some libraries were including other libraries, which was not
necessary.
I also fixed code in configure.in to correctly detect whether shared
or static libraries are enabled, and moved code that disables shared libraries
to before libtool is created (rather than editing libtool after the fact).
Despite repeated warnings that only one shared library can be linked at a
time, I have yet to have shared libraries break the linking of tests on
any system. We'll see if the Daily Tests turn up anything.
Platforms tested:
mir (fortran, C++), sleipnir (C++), modi4 (fortran, C++, parallel),
sol (fortran, C++), cygwin

Sleipnir g++ passed too but that was also because the default development
mode is used.
