Purpose: Maintenance
Description: h5dwrite/read_f and h5awrite_read_f functions were overloaded
with dims argument being of type INTEGER and INTEGER(HSIZE_T).
We promised to remove overloading in 1.4 release. It was
removed from documentation but not from the source code.
Solution: Finish code cleanup.
Platforms tested: Solaris 2.7 32 and 64 bit, and copper with --enable-
parallel. Windows are broken, so Kent and Xuan
will test it with their changes later.
Misc. update:
Improvement
Description:
The fortran test code did not exit with error like C programs do.
Without the appropriate exit code, make or shell could not tell the
fortran test program has encountered errors. So, make continues on
even when some fortran tests have failed.
Solution:
Consultant advised to use "CALL exit(code)" to simulate what C programs
do. Though this is not standard Fortran, he has not seen it failed to
work in most fortran compilers thought some of them, like intel compiler,
may need to link in an extra library.
Platforms tested:
Tested on burrwhite (linux 2.4), eirene (linux 2.2), sol (Solaris 8, serial
and mpich parallel), modi4.
Did not use the standard commit test since this is a purely fortran fix.
Purpose:
Bug fix, code improvement
Description:
Fortran tests didn't cleanup created files. Also HDF5_PREFIX and
HDF5_PARAPREFIX were not used to specify location of the files.
There was a redundant file in the testpar directory that contained
an error reporting function used by both serial and parallel tests.
Solution:
Created library h5test_fortran.a that contains functions used by the
serial and parallel tests. It includes Fortran and C functions that
may be called from Fortran programs to report errors, to modify
file names and to cleanup files after run. Modified test code to
use new functions.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.2 (eirene) serial
IRIX64 (modi4) parallel with HDF5_PREFIX and HDF5_PARAPREFIX set to $SCR
Solris 2.7 with mpich 1.2.4 with HDF5_PARAPREFIX set to /tmp/epourmal
Purpose:
Code maintenance
Description:
read/write APIs have been changed.
Solution:
Made necessary changes to the tests.
Platforms tested:
Windows 98, Linux, Solaris 2.7, O2K, T3E
Adding the Fortran interface to the HDF5 library
Description:
Fortran is now a subdirectory of the HDF5 library tree.
Platforms tested:
Solaris and IRIX (O2K)
