Bug fix
Description:
Add special-case handling to floating-point conversion tests to avoid
problems with denormalized values on Cray T3E & T90 platforms. (Still not
working on Cray SV1, but at least it's closer).
Solution:
Detect denormalized values and don't try to operate on them on the Crays.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
Cray T3E (hubble.cray.com)
Cray T90 (gypsy.cray.com)
Code cleanup, bug fixes
Description:
Wrap up rest of changes necessary for fixing the "short" MPI-I/O read
problem that Robb reported.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
too minor to require h5committest
Omnibus floating-point bug fix changes
Description:
There are a number of problems in the floating-point conversion code that
were exposed by Ray's recent int<->float checkin:
- The 'my_isnan' code in test/dtypes.c was broken and would always return
true. The meant that the actual values in the float<->float conversion
tests were _never_ checked, hiding the other bugs included in this
checkin.
- A recent change I made to the type conversion code used "FLT_MIN" instead
of "-FLT_MAX" for the most negative 'float' value for the double->float
conversion, which meant that any the negative number that was converted
from a double to a float would have been mapped to zero, essentially.
- A change that Robb appeared to have made ~2.5 years ago to the "generic"
float->float conversion routine appears to be incorrect and I've backed
it out.
- Floating-point conversions on SGI's which converted denormalized values
would be mapped to zero instead of being propertly preserved in the new
type. This was addressed by an SGI-specific system call to prevent the
behavior.
Solution:
Described above, generally.

Bug fix & code cleanup
Description:
Allowing the library to call malloc with a size of 0 bytes causes problems
for some users, so we check for allocations of 0 bytes and disallow them now.
Cleaned up some code which could call malloc with 0 size.
Changed some code calling HDmalloc directly to call H5MM_malloc(), which
allows us to check for 0 sized allocations.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)

More Checks
Description:
Added checks for correctly working "basename" and "xargs" programs.
Mike McKay was having troubles with the xargs. The basename check was
just a good idea.
Platforms tested:
Verbena, Arabica, Modi4
Misc. update:
updated help page
Description:
help message for enable-stream-vfd was still default=no.
changed to default=yes.
Platforms tested:
no h5committest. Only tested in eirene since change is
simple.
Misc. update:
Add check
Description:
Added a check to make sure that the "tr" program actually works.
Platforms tested:
Linux (small fix and only to configure)
Misc. update:
Update
Description:
Enable the stream-vfd driver by default. --disable-stream-vfd if you
don't want it.
Platforms tested:
Linux (configuration change, no need for full testing)
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
The MPI_File_set_size() routine on ASCI Red is not able to extend files
so that they are larger than 2GB.
Solution:
Add an extra macro which controls whether MPI_File_set_size() can handle
>2GB offsets or if our "older" way of reading a byte, then writing a byte at
the appropriate offset should be used.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)

Code cleanup/minor bug fixes
Description:
Corrected a few typos and changed the order that the printf() format
strings are tested for 'long long's to move 'll' ahead of 'q', since 'll' is
the form for the ANSI C99 standard.
Platforms tested:
h5committested
Misc. update:
Bug Fix
Description:
On "user02", the Fortran compiler is "efc". We weren't testing for
this compiler (and I don't know how it was succeeding before...).
Solution:
Added efc to the list of Fortran compilers we check for.
Platforms tested:
Couldn't test as I don't have access to user02. But this doesn't
affect other platforms.
Misc. update:
Bug Fix
Description:
C++ on Irix 6.5 needs some special libraries (libCio or some such
thing). These were defined using the DEFAULT_LIBS macro. However,
they weren't being placed into the Makefiles since it wasn't
AC_SUBST'ed in configure.in and wasn't declared in commence.in.
Solution:
Added to configure.in and also added and commence.in
Platforms tested:
Modi4 (C++, small change and only Irix specific)
Misc. update:
Update
Description:
Revamped the configuration system. The configurations for the Fortran
and C++ libraries are no longer separate from the "main"
configuration system. This involved removing the "configure*" and
"aclocal.m4" files from the fortran/ and c++/ subdirectories. Also
merging settings in the config/ subdirectories into the main config/
subdirectory.
Fortran header files had to be modified a little for Linux. It was
checking if it was a Linux machine by some #defines, however with the
-std=c99 switch, these defines weren't there. I added a check for
some other ones which should be there whether the -std=c99 switch is
used or not.
Platforms tested:
Verbena (Fortran & C++)
Sol (Fortran & C++)
Copper (Fortran & C++)
Modi4 (Parallel, Fortran, & C++)
Misc. update:
Feature change.
Description:
--prefix default was /usr/local. This is not approprirate for
development version since it is not likely that one would want
to install a development version in the /usr/local area.
Solution:
Change --prefix default to `pwd`/hdf5, a directory in the build
directory. This eliminates the problem that the builder may not
have permission to install in the default install directory.
It also allows multiple builds in the same host or multiple srcdir
using the same source.
Platforms tested:
h5committested.
Also tested in eirene by trying various configure combination to
verify the new effect.
Misc. update:
Update configuration
Description:
Now that we've split the tree (Yea!), change the main trunk back to debug
on and production off.
Also, change the version # to 1.7.0
update for release
Description:
Set the version information to 1.6.0-pre1 to get ready for
v1.6 release.
Platforms tested:
h5committested.
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Make the default for the function stack work like the default for the
API tracing: when debug is enabled, the function stack defaults to on and
when debug is disabled, the function stack defaults to off.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: Bumped the version number to 1.5.62 after creating
a tar ball for the fourth round of testing.
Solution: run bin/h5vers -s scipt on arabica
Platforms tested: N/A
Misc. update:
Update
Description:
Changed the --enable-mpe flag to --with-mpe so that we could
specify the directory information for where the MPE stuff is
kept. (with the =DIR option that we have for --with-* flags)
Solution:
7%
Platforms tested:
Copper (where MPE is...small change no requiring h5committest).
