Bring generic improvements from encode/decode property list branch to
the trunk. This includes a better version of the property list comparison
routine, cleaned up compiler warnings, and some cleaned up property list
callbacks. Also, started on changes to clean up parallel test output, so that
it doesn't report successful tests from each process.
Tested on:
Mac OSX/64 10.7.4 (amazon) w/debug, GCC 4.7.x, FORTRAN, C++, threadsafe and parallel
Linux 2.6/32 (jam) w/debug
Solaris 2.7/64 (linew) w/debug
error and wanted to exit the test program. This was not good since if only a
subset of processes called MPI_Finalize(), the other processes will likely
hang. That happened in AIX that it would waited till the alarm signal to kill
the processes. Definitely a waste of time.
Solution: Changed it to call MPI_Abort.
That showed another problem. HDF5 has setup atexit post-process to try to close
unclose objects, release resources, etc. But if the MPI processes have
encountered an error and has been aborted, it is not likely any more MPI calls
can function properly. E.g., it would attempt to free some communicators in
the HDF5 MPIO file handle. It would again hang.
Solution: need to call H5dont_atexit() to disable any atexit post-processing.
This must be done early, like before calling H5open. This is added to each
parallel test main program.
testphdf5.h:
Changed macros VRFY and MESG. Added comments too.
testphdf5.c:
t_mpi.c:
t_cache.c:
t_shapesame.c:
Added H5dont_atexit.
Tested: h5committest.
Tested platform:
Kagiso only since it is only a comment block change. If it works in one
machine, it should work in all, I hope. Still need to check the parallel
build on copper.
Feature--to provide a standalone mode for t_mpi.c so that it can
be built outside of PHDF5 environment.
Description:
Move definitions that are common to all parallel test programs
to a new header file called testpar.h.
Leave only Parallel HDF5 tests related definitions in testphdf5.h.
Platforms tested:
heping (pp) and modi4(PP). Copper was down.
Misc. update:
