Bug Fix
Description:
The SUBDIRS macro is now defined as "" in the config/commence.in
file. We shouldn't have definitions of this macro before the
inclusion of config/commence.in.
Solution:
Placed all definitions of SUBDIRS after config/commence.in inclusion.
Platforms tested:
Modi4 (Small fix yet again).
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
Changes needed to make "pmake" work on Modi4.
Solution:
Needed to add some null macro defines in the commence.in files.
Needed to remove a dependence on LIBH5TEST in the fortran make
since LIBH5TEST isn't used in the fortran stuff.
Platforms tested:
Modi4 (small change)

h5cc was removed prematurely in "make clean". Moved it to be
removed in "make distclean" only.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
COpper.

Cleanup
Description:
h5dumpgentest is already included in TEST_PROGS. Removed its old
entry in PROGS.

Description:
The flags for the linker on MacOS X were invalid.
Solution:
If this is a darwin platform (MacOS X), then don't specify the
runtime linker flags.
Platforms tested:
MacOSX (since it only affects it...)
Misc. update:
Minor corrections to match the man pages. Code provided by Pankaj.
Description:
* do not accept more than 30 file names
* corrected error messages.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Tested on verbena.
Already tested on several platforms before integration.
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
This would sometimes coredump in machines like PSC Alpha cluster
or linux icc if -g is not used.
Solution:
The real problem was because char string arrays were declared
without including space for the null terminator. E.g.,
char s[5][2]={ "s1", "s2", ...}
is not correct. Increased the size and also need to change
the H5S... definitions too.
Platforms tested:
"h5committested"--the h5dumpgentest passed without problem though
it failed in Fortran but that is a current known problem.
Tested in verbena using icc and also in PSC's cluster.
Misc. update:
Can't find this error in the v1.5 know problem list.
bug fix

Misc. update:
h5diff support for long_long
Description:
added h5diff support for long_long;
No automatic test was added because
it seems that the printf format of long_long is slightly different in Linux and IRIX(modi4),
because the diff command complained about a difference in the 2 test files for long_long;
visually, it seems that in IRIX an extra space is added after the print (or maybe it is
just me that is seeing extra spaces :=)
this test is test 5.8, commented in testh5diff.sh

Bug Fix
Description:
The order the libraries are included in the compilation line is very
important.
Solution:
Need to specify the libraries in the order that they are given. If
we're building the application staticly, then use the static HDF5
library.
Platforms tested:
Modi4
Verbena
Arabica
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
the signed / unsigned comparison was not properly handled.
the fixtype function sets the sign for the memory type the same sign as found on disk
and the array_diff function only handled signed cases
Solution:
addded for each INTEGER size type an OR condition with the unsigned version
if the datatypes have different signs , comparison is NOT supported

Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
Not all echo commands honors the '-n' option. In those cases,
the output look weired though recognizable.
Solution:
Eliminated the use of -n option. A better fix would be having
configure to set the proper use of the echo command.
Platforms tested:
only on sasn100 (a sun frontend of Janus).
No committest since this is just a simple shell script change.
Bug Fix
Description:
Two things:
- static libraries may depend upon the HDF5 library. We should
put them before the HDF5 library on the commandline instead of
afterwards to avoid conflict.
- the CFLAGS weren't being used during linking. This was causing
problems on Arabica where the flags are important to
distinguish between building a 32-bit and 64-bit application.
Solution:
- Added logic so that it catches the static libraries and puts them
before the hdf5 library on the command line. WARNING: This may not
work in all situations...but it should be okay for the good
majority.
- added the CFLAGS macro to the commandline...
Platforms tested:
LInux (Colonelk)

(Small changes so doesn't need full h5committesting...)
Misc. update:
Purpose: bug fix for Tru64 and test of the latest szip library.
Description: h5diff uses basename function that also is defined
in the system string.h file. That caused compilation to
fail.
Solution: renamed basename to h5diff_basename
Platforms tested: verbena, arabica, arabica-64,
and PSC Compaq machine.
Misc. update:
bug fix and enhancement
Description:
combined the --simple option to the display of NATIVE datatypes
with the -S option , the print of the datatype will always display the full description
making it possible to do an automatic test for catching differences on output
made the case for printing the type of bitfield data, which was not handled
the new test generates a dataset with 10 attributes, each one a different datatype

Bug Fix
Description:
Lots of things. Mostly, multiple libraries declared on the command
line bothered some compilers. Then the order of the libraries is
important. Then if you are building static, you don't want an
"-lhdf5" flag in your compile line.
Solution:
Various hacks to remove redundant libraries from the compile line and
to keep the order of them and to replace -lhdf5 with the .a file when
building static.

Misc. update:
Fix
Description:
The way I was checking for -lfoo flags wasn't rigorous enough.
Solution:
Use a "grep" instead of the "case" statement. Also check that the
full "-lfoo" flag is matched instead of just part of it.

Bug Fix
Description:
Some compilers aren't happy if you specify the same library multiple
times when linking. This caused HDF5 Lite to crash during tests on
Kelgia
Solution:
Modified the script so that the shared libraries are specified only
once for the commandline.
Platforms tested:
Kelgia (small fix).
Misc. update:
Bug Fix
Description:
When doing a "configure" using the h5cc script as the compiler, it
would fail to accept the "-E" flag as running the preprocessor. The
problem was that it was trying to link the file afterwards. Of
course, the file wouldn't be there, so it would fail.
Solution:
Changed it so that if the -E flag is used, then we don't try to link
(this is how it's done in mpicc...I must have copied it wrongly).
Platforms tested:
Linux & Kelgia (small change not needing full testing)
Misc. update:
changed algorythm
Description:
changed the array_diff function to increment the read buffer with a size selected
by an appropriate native data type.
previously it was assumed, e.g. int size = 4 bytes

Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
The tests would just segmentation fault in Tflops because the
compiled code were launched without using the $RUNSERIAL to launch
them. This may fail in some batch systems like Tflops.
Solution:
Used $RUNSERIAL to launch the compiled code.
Also fixed a typo of the script command line.
Platforms tested:
Only tested in Tflops since the modified code resided there.

bug fix
Description:
the criteria for determining the correct switch case cast to void* to type* was the data size read from disk.
this was causing problems on Cray T3E, where all integer except char are 8 bytes long
Solution:
changed the criteria for using the memory size instead, which is determined by the same function
that reads the data into memory
the messages " using memory NATIVE_TYPE_X" were removed, because they might not coincid on different
platforms.

Misc. update:
New feature/enhancement
Description:
Chunked datasets are handled poorly in several circumstances involving
certain selections and chunks that are too large for the chunk cache and/or
chunks with filters, causing the chunk to be read from disk multiple times.
Solution:
Rearrange raw data I/O infrastructure to handle chunked datasets in a much
more friendly way by creating a selection in memory and on disk for each chunk
in a chunked dataset and performing all of the I/O on that chunk at one time.
There are still some scalability (the current code attempts to
create a selection for all the chunks in the dataset, instead of just the
chunks that are accessed, requiring portions of the istore.c and fillval.c
tests to be commented out) and performance issues, but checking this in will
allow the changes to be tested by a much wider audience while I address the
remaining issues.
